Turns out, AI-fuelled fossil fuel emissions are way worse than you thought!

And the paper in question

I don’t want to hear anyone in the industry say anything about being for “the better of humanity” ever again

If the markets reject OpenAI and Anthropic we should throw tomatoes and jeer at Altman and Amodei

I knew Amodei was married but holy SHIT I did not know that

To counterbalance: here’s a whole wealth of climate change good news sources

I vaguely remember someone saying the term “foom” came from the sound of something blowing up/expanding quickly, could be wrong on that tho

But yeah “fooming slowly” is not fooming. That’s just it going slow

Amazon’s latest planned data centre is gonna be putting out as much emissions as an entire country

I cannot express how badly this AI bullshit needs to go

I went through the comments earlier. Nothing really stood out to me (aside from one person saying we should give AGI rights so it doesn’t go Skynet), as it was mostly just people saying the song was a banger and doomposting

From the old SneerClub: There is a music video now

I’m speechless

So like the “monkey with a typewriter could write Shakespeare” but with AI?

Also, the fact that those AIs were talking on that message board about the hack for months makes me less convinced that the AI is intelligent and more convinced everyone at OpenAI is stupid

We should halt AI development because it is economic fraud and environmentally catastrophic

This, emphasis on the “environmentally catastrophic” part.

OpenAI gets called out on their bs

Oh excellent, we’ve reinvented Furbies except more creepy

Unsurprised that Hank ended being paid off to push AI doomsday

I mean I find it pretty hard to believe all of the big 3 AI companies have security breaches that happened in roughly the exact same ways around the same time frame. Anthropic is suspicious because they came out with their hacking stories after the HuggingFace incident even though one of the incidents happened months ago.

Even if the incidents themselves were pure unfortunate coincidence, the fact they all came out about it after the OpenAI incident is certainly suspicious

Third parties forget to turn off security measures

So they forget how to build a proper sandbox and turn off proper security measures for the allegedly very dangerous tool. Oh look at that, it hacked things! Right after two other companies ALSO had a press tour about hacking things! (which was also in part because of human incompetence!) guess we have no choice but to do the same press tour shitck!

How awfully convenient

It’s both, really. They’re shilling that their AI is so incredible, so fantastic that it’s a brilliant hacker AND it may-or-may-not be sentient!! ooohhh, buy it and see for yourself how wonderful and human-like it is!!!

Same scheme, slightly different tune

This is ridiculous. Three companies suddenly claim that their AIs all went on a hacking spree in the exact same way, one after the other? Reeks of marketing scheme

Sam Altman matched with a man on Grindr

sentences that feel like being shot 50 times

That’s probably the most “interesting” thing ive seen someone whos left OpenAI do
