Danielle Fong reposted roon @tszzl · 2h we live in actual cyberpunk now private consortiums raise funds larger than federal discretionary spending of American government to build larger computers and computer precursors warring corporations backed by competing homegrown somewhat aligned machine intelligence solve maths and sciences in server farms at least in part for marketing reasons NSF slashed to bits. government institutions at all time lows in trustworthiness and competence. statements issued by the executive generally an anti signal for their truth value mysterious organizations called Gates Foundation, "Coefficient Giving", and OpenAI Foundation now control a philanthropic capital base several times larger than America's annual foreign aid budget. all are trying to secure datacenters [cut off]
