brachiosaurus comments on Bernie Sanders tells OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta to pause AI development or face Senate action

Bernie Sanders is a politician, he should tell the public how he plans to add safety mechanisms and safeguards to AI. Granting the government and corporations full authority and control over it while limiting public access is how you turn AI into a digital nuclear weapon.

I rarely see a criticism of Bernie Sanders that isn't some form of perfect solution fallacy and this comment is not one of them.

I'm sorry, like "Yes" but also, SIGH.

Cuz like;

He's been doing this 70 years and he's said it all already.
He's been doing this 70 years and he's too old to be the guy directing AI.

He’s been doing this 70 years and he’s too old to be the guy directing AI.

So why is he getting involved in AI?

Not a bad question. If I can tweak it a little:

Why is he getting involved in AI regulation, but only in this specific way?

Because pro-AI lobbyists (including a Silicon Valley cult leader) got to him.

Ban the slop easy as, they're breaking a tonne of laws, and they're pushing their costs onto everyone else.

"Data center moratorium"

addresses concrete problems
promises concrete solutions
easy to target the biggest offenders

"gUaRdRaiLs"

addresses vague problems
requires undefined solutions
helps the biggest offenders
acts as free PR for the industry

Cap LLMs to 1 Trillion parameters, can utilize no more than 384GiB of (V)RAM.

Offenders go to jail (corporations charged as a criminal enterprise), all equipment seized and destroyed.

If these AI glazers really believed that AI is the threat they claim it is, then we should treat it the way we'd treat corporations if they tried developing their own nuclear weapons.
