I've wondered whether to make Sriram's post in Science and Technology on the Mysteries of AI, a bucket thread for AI, creating sort of Searching for AI, but I think that's doomed, doomed, I tell ye.
I had posted a couple of things on it about Sunak's progress through the slough of AI but I think with his fanboying here of Musk, it's outgrown that. I'll give Sunak his due here in that by spending a govt's mite, and talking about it, and setting up his wee summit, he's got a bit ahead of the game.
That's come at a cost though in that he's realised that having a message on this would be good, but not done any work on what that message should be. Hence his 'AI might destroy the universe but let's not be alarmist' drivel from last week.
I am bemused that his 'advisors' have gone down the let's give Musk a rimjob approach though, since there isn't really a useful demographic that it will appeal to. He'll alienate many traditional Tory voters since Musk is seen as a disruptor, he's at least a couple of years too late for Musk to be seen as the guru.
