This is not the article I was expecting, although it’s from the economist so I don’t know why I was surprised. This is a primer on how to resist the backlash against AI, including glibly dismissing concerns about environmental impact and costs.
There is a fundamental belief in the inevitability of the continued progress of AI among ‘the faithful’ that I find troubling. Looking at the deeply concerning economics of the AI market at present, the operating costs and supply shocks that will only drive those costs up, the bullishness around this is infuriating.

Yes but one of the most authoritarian and anti human rights states holding god knows what powers over just about everyone. Not really any better is it?
China is a lesser threat to me than domestics. China can’t reach me, domestics can and do.
Yes it’s 100% better to deny local ai the global dominance if we can. If they don’t have our back, we owe nothing to them.
