0·16 hours agothe full paper is here: https://x.com/alexwg/status/2022292731649777723 immediately two references to Nick Bostrom and Scott Alexander
can’t believe scammers are loosing their jobs to AI
Im pretty sure most of this has already been posted to this thread (I know the “AI published a hit piece on me” thing was)but more Moltbook/Openclaw/whatever-it’s-called nonsense
also this video by 80,000 Hours on timeline increases in 2025 https://youtu.be/YeRS4TbtZWA
new interview with Dario Amodei dropped https://youtu.be/n1E9IZfvGMA basically exponential curve real soon, nice skepticism from both the interviewer and the comment section
On a related note, I really gotta stop browsing r/singularity man
EDIT: this is also the same podcast where Dario said we could have AGI in 2-3 years back in 2023. So lol
completely unsurprised, cant wait to see what shitshow this produces
Wong expressed a desire to see more parentless working on AI rather than “childless singles” and refers to it as a “son of man”.
eughhh weird vibes all around
on the subject of AI as children/parents I’m gonna drop this article on Geoffrey Hinton and leave it at that https://futurism.com/godfather-ai-bizarre-plan-save-humanity
also this post which is where I got the xAI co-founder statement from, also goes over other things
-the Anthropic team lead quitting (which we already discussed in this thread)
-AI is apparently so good a filmmaker with 7 years of experience said it could do 90% of his work
-The Anthropic safety team + Yoshua Bengio talking about AIs being aware of when they’re being tested and adjusting their behaviour (+ other safety stuff like deepfakes and cybercrime)
-the US government being ignorant about safety concerns and refusing to fund the AI international report (incredibly par for the course for this trash fire of an administration, they’ve defunded plenty of other safety projects as well)
another co-founder has quit praises Elongated Muskrat (lmfao) and says recursive-self improvement in the next 12 months and 100x productivity
read the whole article, of course Donald Trump is excited about this. Which also guarantees that this will crash and burn in no time at all
well that headline just filled me with dread
neither did I reading this article was my first exposure to him
the aforementioned wikipedia page has got some criticisms of his works under the critical reception section
this article involving an incredibly eyebrow-raising take from one of the people at METR (the team behind the famous “tasks AI can do doubles every 7 months” graph) saying AI is eventually going to become more impactful than the invention of agriculture and more transformative than the emergence of the human species and also calls it an intelligent alien species. Immensely funny amongst the other people saying “please stop treating AI like magic”
the Harari guy also seems to be into transhumanism if a skim of his wikipedia page is correct
OpenAI is probably toast tldr OpenAI’s financial situation is more cooked as a big investor shows doubt, WeWork 2 imminent
HOLY SHIT LMFAOOOOO
