With Meta launching a lab focused on “Superintelligence” — the new buzzword for “AGI,” itself the new buzzword for “AI,” etc — it’s worth noting that AGI is a flawed goal. Here’s my general-readership piece for @techpolicypress.bsky.social on the matter: www.techpolicy.press/most-researc...

Let’s go even bigger — our goal is to get 3.5% of America in the streets. Some media outlets are reporting only “tens of thousands” participated, but that’s no accident. Downplaying the turnout is a tactic to suppress momentum. But you were there. You saw the crowds.

“The Senate won’t confirm them” is not even a wishful thinking response, it’s one that ignores what’s happening:
Trump announced in advance of these picks that he expects the Senate to shut itself down so he can make recess appointments — which means no confirmation process at all.
