It’s no wonder we’re so fucked
universal suffrage was the biggest mistake but lately I've been wondering if democracy could work as a long-term system even if we went back to needing to 'earn' the right to vote like in Greece or Rome.
I don't think so, failing some sort of major social re-ordering, it'd probably just eat itself slower -

Attendees of ApeFest 2023, a gathering for collectors of Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs, left the annual event with eye-related symptoms ranging from pain and burning to blurred vision that may be related to improper use of ultraviolet lighting.
This year’s ApeFest ran from November 3–5 across locations in Hong Kong. Following an event on Saturday night, several attendees began posting on X (formerly Twitter) about problems affecting their eyes. There were accounts of “extreme pain” and not being able to “see normally,” with some users having to seek emergency medical attention.
they used shitloads of high-intensity UV lights for some reason, it gave lots of people sunburn at night. LOL. -

which I think is interesting - how do people determine what is real anymore? will it be like the middle ages, where peasants were trapped in their own bubbles that extended a few kilometres in any direction, and the only people they even had access to who could read were the local priests? -

Yeah everyone's trying to regulate their competition away; of course the 'ethical' rules won't apply to the states that enforce them.
China in particular though I suspect will become a haven for it so long as you don't cause problems for the state - opioids are illegal as shit ever since the Opium Wars but they have no problem with factories mass-producing fentanyl analogues so long as it's only for export.
the models themselves aren't necessarily tied to state boundaries though, the physical processing power is so that's what they'll have the most success regulating

In addition to the sharing of red team test results, the EO also requires disclosure of the system’s training runs (essentially, its iterative development history). “What that does is that creates a space prior to the release… to verify that the system is safe and secure,” officials said.
lol. they want to be able to vet the training data for learning algorithms explicitly designed to be trained on data too vast for humans to reasonably parse.
just generally though it's a bunch of regulations for the development of AI algorithms, but it's an EO so it can't be enforced outside of the US. they could feasibly enforce it on 'friendly' countries by refusing to supply high-performance processing hardware unless they adhere to the new rules but China and even Russia now are manufacturing comparable chipsets... anyone not wanting to follow those rules has other options. -
