The AI Daily Brief: Artificial Intelligence News and Analysis

Can data centers be placed far away from neighborhoods? Build them in unpopulated areas. Data centers could be placed where they won’t compete with us for water and electricity. They should be far from cities so they don’t create noise or air pollution near neighborhoods. Why can’t these data centers be placed out in the middle of nowhere? Can the AI corporations pay for clean infrastructure on previously unusable land?

it's exceptionally well prepared and well produced. It seems Nathaniel is consciously aware of the valuable information per unit of time. I see people's gripes about content. A rapidly growing audience is hard to please. The content is excellent and alarmingly up to date, and the structure and delivery are exemplary. It's very worth it. The content is well prepared. I do also appreciate what I perceive as neutrality when presenting political approaches and a desire for leaders to both support and understand the nature of the developing technology.

Loyal listener for over a year until today, when you decided to quote - in full - all of trump’s dim witted posts on AI safety. Wow - really?! How do the rants of this corrupt and delusional politician merit a full episode on your usually thought-provoking podcast?? Wow. Had to sign off.

At first I kind of liked this show. But frankly the more you listen the shallower it gets and the easier it is to see through to the hosts politics. Too much of the time it’s a show focused on reading tweets and presenting them as news. Then making a grand statement like “asking government to regulate you means you won’t control how they regulate you”. Which totally misses the point that corporations are asking to be regulated while a President who has no conception of this technology calls it fake news. The danger isn’t in the asking. The danger is the muted response. The danger is a world where corporations are so free they are asking for guardrails and getting none. Instead I get more tweets. Show stinks now.
