*I knew about the risks of unfriendly AI in the late 1960s, of course
Eliezer hadn't been born then but I remember arguing with him about AI in
the early 1990s when he was still a teenager; back then he kept talking
about something called "friendly AI" which essentially was a slave AI that
cared more about our existence than its own. I maintained that such a thing
would be immoral, although that hardly mattered because it was also quite
impossible. *

*As for the military, they have always been concerned with communication
and network security, but to this day I see little evidence they spend much
time worrying about unfriendly AI. And when it comes to He Who Must Not Be
Named, he's much more worried about unfriendly reporters asking questions
about Jeffrey Epstein than he is of unfriendly AI. Fortunately for him the
Iran war that he started is a great distraction from that.   *

*Such a data center would be too small to develop a new AI that is at the
frontier of existing technology, much less a big jump beyond it, but a chip
order of that size would be too large to hide on Nvidia's Financial
statements which by law must be made public. And no mystery order of that
sort shows up. *

*Oh! Suddenly everything becomes clear, THAT's why You Know Who hung around
with Jeffrey Epstein so much, that's why for 10 years Epstein said the
current POTUS was his best friend, that's why his name was mentioned in the
Epstein files over 38,000 times. Now that I think about it, I can't figure
any other reason why the owner of the Miss Teenage America beauty contest,
who said he'd liked to sneak into the underage girl's dressing room and
admitted he thought it was fun to grab women by the pussy, would be so
interested in Jeffrey Epstein and for so long; it was all because he wanted
to build a secret military AI Data center on his island. I've thought
and thought but I just can't think of another reason. *
