The olgiarchs demand the AI that they control makes the decisions.

“A computer can never be held accountable. Therefore, a computer must never make a management decision” ~IBM Training Manual, 1979

Surely this won’t go wrong at all

You cannot have a binding decision without providing the reasons that led to it, and AI never provides such reasons. No one will obey unexplained decisions.

I guess they caved to anthropic’s urges.

honestly we could replace US congress with a system like this, and public life would probably improve over the current situation. at least an LLM can’t be bribed with a $500 meal and will actually read the legislation.

Just machines will make big decisions

Programmed by fellows with compassion and vision

We’ll be clean when their work is done

We’ll be eternally free, yes, and eternally young.

Donald Fagen

I don’t take 99.99999 % seriously anymore. Literally zero idols. Crush the smarts smell dem farts. All that old man wizdum right down the drain. The elders have failed us. Nothing works like they said.

Most Austrians (especially bureaucrats) already ‘think’ and act as machines anyway, which might also explain why their government is the first to come up with this absolutely idiotic idea.
