The author said a new Terminator film with a suitable director would probably gross $2 billion worldwide, damage the AI industry and potentially push the global economy into recession.

The author wrote that using nuclear reactors at sea could ease a major obstacle to deploying nuclear power: fears among local residents and regulators of catastrophic meltdowns. They also said nuclear-powered ships could significantly reduce fuel costs.
The author said nuclear-powered ships had existed for decades and wrote that companies in Russia, China, Europe and the U.S. were pursuing designs for nuclear-powered cargo ships and floating nuclear plants that could be towed or rented. https://t.co/7hCik9yGai #NuclearEnergy #ShippingIndustry #Innovation #RU #CN #EU #US
The author wrote that nuclear reactors had been used at sea for as long as they had been used on land, and said major powers were revisiting their use to propel cargo ships and provide mobile offshore power. They described marine nuclear energy as an economically promising opportunity and pointed readers to a new brief from Bismarck Analysis.
The author argued that faster AI development made human factors more consequential, not less, and said AI amplified the speed, energy and variability of economics, politics and culture rather than bypassing them.
The author wrote that AI forecasting had encountered clear limits, particularly in modelling societies that differed from one’s own, such as China, which they described as a challenge for the rationalist approach. #AI #Forecasting #Society #CN
The author wrote that personal chatbots had become significant social and emotional companions for everyone and asked what that meant for people. They also pointed readers to a piece about artificial intelligence’s role and limits in socialisation and personal development.
The author wrote that AI could bring significant benefits but would not resolve society’s most extreme impulses and dysfunctions, and warned it could instead reinforce them and worsen certain problems.
The post said small modular reactors, designed with mass-producible parts, were intended to help address cost overruns and delays at US nuclear plants, but had not fully fulfilled that aim. It added that the reactors were now attracting new demand from AI and directed readers to a new Bismarck Analysis brief. https://t.co/jhrFz3MNAp #NuclearEnergy #SmallModularReactors #AI #US
"What makes us different from China?" currently has answers that are dangerously close to making America dysfunctional for a thousand years. #America #China #Dysfunction #CN #US
Maybe the miracle weapon works. A deus ex machina. But currently everyone in power is desperate for it to work and that shows, despite breathless claims otherwise, that the U.S. and the West weren't doing very well in recent years until the unearned miracle arrived. #DeusExMachina #MiracleWeapon #PowerDynamics #US #West
But that hardly appears to be the limit to how far optics could increase the world's computing power. Optical systems could replace electrical networking switches, the backbone of matrix multiplication for AI models, and someday perhaps even electrical computation itself. https://t.co/drLaOYV8wa #Optics #ComputingPower #AI #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.
We compute with electricity. Why not with light? Light has many advantages for data transmission and perhaps even computation. The semiconductor industry is vigorously pursuing new types of optical computing components for AI.

The same technological advances behind aerial drones are now making ground drones, wheeled or tracked, a staple of the modern battlefield for both resupply and combat. The war in Ukraine is ground zero. Robot warfare is already here. Read the @bismarckanlys Brief (link below): https://t.co/Yz4Q99vjoN #DroneWarfare #UkraineWar #MilitaryTechnology #UA
Gain of function demonstrated it is easy to make new plagues. The bio profession wants to pretend it doesn't and keep doing gain of function research with government health money. They also want to pretend AI cannot replace key aspects of their job, which it obviously can. #GainOfFunction #PublicHealth #AIInMedicine #Nospecificcountrycodescanbederivedfromthetweetprovided.

Everyone from Mark Zuckerberg to Jensen Huang to Tom Cruise entrust their personal fortunes and maybe daily lives to the management of a young family office from San Francisco. Iconiq has also become a major AI investor—in Anthropic. Read the @bismarckanlys Brief (link below): https://t.co/JhaWyIt7MJ #Iconiq #AIInvestment #FamilyOffice #US
It turned out the greatest vice of the last man isn't excessive desire for powe but an obstinate refusal to be in charge of outcomes and a deep resentment of anyone who makes them to do so, even in face of death. #PowerStruggle #HumanNature #Resentment #Nospecificcountrycodesarepresentinthetweetprovided.
AI scientists are on some level deeply upset that everyone else doesn't make them stop developing AI which they believe has 10% odds of killing everyone. Everyone else is uspet the scientist are making 10% risk of AI killing everyone, everyone else's problem and why they don't #AISafety #AIConcern #EthicsInAI #Nospecificcountrycodescanbeidentifiedintheprovidedtweet.
