    I think it’s pretty safe to say that when your country is run by a murderous tyrant who has his own mother arrested on [presumably] fabricated corruption charges, human rights are of little concern.

    “Saudi Arabia has big _____ ambitions. They could come at the cost of human rights.”

    Fill in the blank with whatever you want: Oil, skyscrapers, a big fuck off line city in the desert, AI, a space program

      This is KSA we’re talking about here. Human rights violations are always part of the deal. You could say it’s the currency they trade in.

    AI always comes at the cost of human rights with how we are handling it. Maybe it could have been a niche useful thing, or a helpful tool. But no, the chatbots are become unemployment, destroyer of jobs.

    One of the biggest issues running AI is keeping those huge data centers cool.

    The problem when you have money pouring out of your orifices is you don’t really care all that much about costs.
