Can we put a ban on "technology" that we don't understand and fully control yet?

(I put "technology" in quotes because it is closer to alchemy.)

hope he wear two collared shirts.

Without reform, the Security Council is an absolute joke.

They exclude the global south from having a permanent seat at the table, and they need a veto reform.

No resolution when they captured Maduro. Russia has launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine since 2022 and vetoed any Security Council action.

171 days into the Gaza conflict, they passed Resolution 2728, by that time, over 10,000 people had already been killed, and Israel’s immediate response was to announce it would ignore the resolution entirely.

There were a lot of smaller-scale conflicts in the meantime, where the Security Council had a lot of meetings, but nothing ever happened.

Altman could tell them to go fuck themselves and that he is specifically developing tools to kill any person in that room, and the US would just veto the Council from taking any action that could save their own life.

That’s the kind of joke they have become.

Please tell me they are going to have independent computer scientists and security experts to ask questions that expose the doomerism/"rationalist" LessWrong bullshit. Please don't just let him spew talking points designed to make a deflating bubble look like a good thing.

A great marketing opportunity for Grifty McGriftface.

Why these bug eyed salamanders have any say at all for any of this is beyond me. He's a tech ceo who wants to make money, nothing more.

HN would be better if it did not produce disparaging comments in every thread that has Sam Altman on it.

I get it. We dislike Sam. I got it 3? 4? years ago. Would be nice and more interesting if we could see past that at some point, given that he is a fairly important figure, doing important things, that would be cool to share interesting thoughts about.
