Terrorist adoption of AI has thus advanced further and more systematically than prior analysis has recognized

salafi extremists that declared western education sinful are now world-leading AI-first village-burning-as-a-service jihadist startup. okay whatever

It has aided in attack planning, weapons troubleshooting, and the design of explosive devices, as users have successfully circumvented some safeguards.

surely their contacts within ISIS or any number of other islamic militias couldn’t have taught them that previously, no they have to rely on movie plot ideas from chatbots. it probably helps that some people heard about them but peak years of their activity were in 2014-20 before ISWAP eaten their support base whole by not raiding villages and trying to replace state instead

also, when trying to make sure that i got this right i’ve learned that apparently al-qaeda pivoted to app development

i thought that pause ai was just rationalist controlled opposition

welcome to the abyss, it sucks here

If you delete account on twitter it doesn’t stay marked as deleted, anyone can register that name later. But this would have had to happen before 2015, if they were EA mockers after that then some kind of takeover seems more likely (who knows how many people posted from there, maybe one of them changed sides for whatever reason and locked out others)

Considering that they think that chatbots are as important as nukes, there is a precedent https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/816_Nuclear_Military_Plant

move fast and break yourself!

Believe it or not, there are bacteria that live on surface of fuels and oxidize them for energy. Sometimes there are antibacterial additives, sometimes they are filtered off, but sometimes these just fall down to the bottom of storage barrel at gas station. This, mixed with rust and a little of water, forms that sludge. They see that because gas station runs out of fuel

that could be any of who knows how many untested things he tried over years

“don’t die” - famous last words

like any proper demon, thiel only* uses blood of children

* he’s extremely afraid of dying in general so he might be popping any immortality pill that was sold to him. i heard something about HGH

every week of work with biologists brings another “guess we doin circles now” moment. there’s simply so many things that were never measured, measuring them requires knowing what are you doing, proper experimental design and interpretation of results, that are affected by myriad factors and dozens of feedback loops. none of that is in training data of course, and even if it was it would help very little because humans measuring that would make better use of these results first. but don’t worry about that, machine god will learn relativity from three video frames and will make peter thiel immortal right away

“I have become greedier” - exactly the kind of shit you want to hear from major bagholder when it’s definitely not a bubble

yeah bet on their blog they posted urbit 101 beginners guide. not linking that for obvious reasons

with such tenure i wonder if some of these people are interns or something in current american administration

only 8% of the time

yeah china just makes things, i doubt that iranian military ever had a shot at getting american gnss receivers. any of modern civilian ones allows for use of signals from all 4 constellations anyway, and the jamming resistance comes from either using encrypted signals or by using more sophisticated receivers that have tiny phased array and can cut out a zone where jammer is (to some degree)

The traditional way to exchange brain worms has been replaced by LW forum tho

idk i think it’s new that someone in mainstream sort of calls them cultists, namedrops EY as cult leader and fanfic writer and everything that you could hear about in our circlejerk, but also shortly before EZ said that he’s been called doomer and a crank but now he’s vindicated to a degree not thought possible. this all happens after drop of that openai financial info, so EZ also held off, and EZ is PR guy so i guess he knows what he’s doing, and maybe he thinks this might be it, or maybe he doesn’t have anything better and plays his hand in best way he can. i wonder what comes next

zitron’s last podcast calls anthropic/openai top brass weirdos and cultists they are, describes their beliefs about building the machine god as bad philosophy and something that must go hard when you’re 12 https://omny.fm/shows/better-offline/the-ai-industry-must-stop-doom-trolling-w-cal-newport

but that would cut down openai costs

tbf i expected that ed got openai’s s1 at that point. anything more detailed would be nice to see. that also suggests that saltman knows that leak occurred, and maybe who leaker is
