OTOH:
Blue-teamers, already having taken up an anti-data-center position, may have just decided to go with that--they seem to be the AI doomer party.
Red-teamers, of course, must take up the opposite position and scoff at them. And now that Trump's scoffing, I reckon their position is pretty much set in stone.
To make matters worse, the blue team has taken up a long line of sciencey-sounding doomer positions over the last 50 years, telling us we were all going to die from: overpopulation, acid rain, hole in the ozone layer, global cooling, global warming, COVID doomerism...you know the story.
The blue team does love to go all doomer about issues such that doomerism supports some other thing they want to do--e.g. destroy capitalism, cut out fossil fuels...stop the data centers...
The red team then tends to just take up the opposite of whatever position the blues have taken up...which sometimes leads them in the right direction (e.g. skepticism about climate apocalypticism, rejection of COVID hysteria)...but sometimes just the opposite (e.g.: the blues love Ukraine...so we love Russia now!!!)
Anyway. Aside from this kind of induction over blue-team episodes of hysteria (and their general irrationality over the last decade), the reds don't have a lot to go on here...
My position is currently: I'm listening to the computer geeks. Obvs even they don't know exactly what's going on...and many of them have ulterior motives...but everybody else is just blowing smoke.
Trump too, as should go without saying.
I wonder what good could come from an analogy with AI chess? How long did it take to become unbeatable by even the best the meatsacks can throw at it? Can Magnus Carlson ever beat it anymore? I don't know... And what if the competition weren't a mere game...?
Anyway.
I think it's stupid for the average person to pooh-pooh AI doomerism.
One of these days, the doomers are probably going to be right.
And needless to say: AI could very well be the Great Filter...
Finally: I have no idea what I'm talking about.
