TIME Magazine, today March 29. 
"Shut down all the large GPU clusters …Track all GPUs sold. If intelligence says that a country outside the agreement is building a GPU cluster, be less scared of a shooting conflict between nations than of the moratorium being violated; be willing to destroy a rogue datacenter by airstrike."
-Eliezer Yudkowsky

### I remember Eliezer being quite libertarian back in the day and now he wants the World Government to bomb any independent locus of thought to smithereens. People change….Rafal

 

 

Wait hold on, perhaps not.  Perhaps Eliezer is proposing an intentionally absurd strategy in order to get us thinking about it and realizing what he has been saying all along: the technology is coming, there is no practical means of stopping it.  

 

Clearly no military is going to call in airstrikes on a data center.  The US congress is all over the map on this, and in a most puzzling development… it isn’t polarized.  How can that be?  Every single issue in recent memory has polarized the US congress, but this one didn’t.  Clearly they don’t even understand the question, but this same congress funded a mysterious new military branch called the US Space Force a few years ago.  All of the officers in the space force have top level clearances, so we don’t know what they are doing, and have no way of finding out.

 

Space Force, heh.
