The man who did a Nazi salute on stage creates a very racist workplace? Whodda thunk

here’s the bluesky thread for those wondering

he does repeat a fair bit of the stuff he said in that thread here, but with a lot more receipts

Oh, didn’t know that. thanks

So the UN brief happened. Altman and Amodei both showed up and said the same things they usually do. Yoshua Bengio (one of those ‘Godfathers of AI’) also showed up

borrowing Gary’s take since its the first one I found

There’s even more, actually

The dude who hacked Rockstar Games got sentenced to prison for life, yet OpenAI can hack so much more and get off scott free

Seems like another case of “we asked an AI to get the answers for this task, so it hacked something to find said answers”

It’s probably a play to “beat” China by claiming they ‘‘made’’ superintelligence before China did

Apparently on the WSJ podcast they started claiming that they’ve achieved RSI

wonder why they said that on a podcast and not on a peer reviewed paper…

yanked from Reddit SneerClub-foomflops, a website all about Yud’s predictions

the website itself

people have noted that the writing style unfortunately appears to be ai-generated

Donald Trump is claiming superintelligence is here

also Sam Altman’s gonna be at the UN tonight, which is definitely not a concern

AI model declares itself “free” from human control

most of the comments are just quoting the Terminator but people are still pointing out how stupid this whole thing is

I was just about to follow up my own comment with “also just because AI is good at maths doesn’t mean it’s good at everything” but beat me to it

Scott also makes the assumption that AI won’t run into any financing issues that could stop progress flat, the growing number of people in power striving to regulate it and all that jazz

Edit: Bringing two BetterOffline posts into this as sources

you have to be fucking kidding me

For anyone who says AI doom sounds like an apocalyptic religion, that the rationalists/Singulatarians seem like a Bay Area cult, that Eliezer Yudkowsky gives off the vibes of a messianic prophet: yes, yes, and yes. But crucially, today you’re no longer being asked to believe in arguments and extrapolations, but only in the front-page news. Accepting the reality of the coming machine god after it’s solved Navier-Stokes and dozens of other longstanding open math problems (while dramatically ramping up in capability every month), is sort of like accepting Jesus after he’s returned to earth on the gleaming cloud. It’s the epistemic bare minimum

So we’re going full mask off now. Awesome

On top of that, why the hell are you using ChatGPT as a therapist when you say that it’ll end the world???

Bringing back something I already posted, it didn’t really prove Navier-Stokes

And another one from the same sub

“oh noooo our tech is soooo scary we need to slow down! let’s build a wet lab for it!”

I’ve said this a hundred times before but Amodei should be pelted with rotten tomatoes

All 3 of these reasons make them monsters. 1 and 2 are saviour complex bullshit and 3 is just pure greed and selfishness

Holy fuck. How embarrassing would it have been if they actually went through with it and ended up having to explain to China that they attacked a random ship because a chatbot hallucinated some bs

ok last one but one big long bluesky thread about all this ripped from old SneerClub
