Hot take on a weak White House Accord on “Super Intelligence”
What was signed, and what was not said
TL;DR
- The Accord is described as an exercise in "self-policing."
- The author interprets the Accord as an agreement not to be regulated and not to give the public a voice.
- The meaning of "independent" subcontractors is questioned, as they are chosen by the signing companies.
- The author asks about the status of "Pacing" discussions.
- Dario, Sam, and Elon are mentioned as having "chickened out."
Here’s the Accord, which Trump apparently described as a “tremendous” exercise in “self-policing”:
Reading the Accord between the lines
We agree not be regulated
We agree not to give the public a voice
Trust us
Also, what does the word “independent” really mean above? Subcontractors working for other companies that we (the big companies who signed) choose and hang out with and perhaps already do business with?
Finally, if I may ask, what happened to the Pacing everybody was talking about two weeks ago?
Surprise, surprise: Dario, Sam, and Elon all chickened out.
