JD Vance is probably among us as we speak. He could be any username…

Is he you?

I wish, but no.

watching Austin Energy capping my A/C and deciding to become a rabid supporter of Yud's call to airstrike data centers

Really, it was the headlines of Google's AI Overview pulling Reddit shitposts that inspired the return. If Reddit is going to sell its data to Google, then, you know, maybe flood the zone with sludge?

Christ, there's so much backstory here - just scrolling through long descriptions of Gerard's views and just thinking "based, based, based, based."

Before we accidentally make an AI capable of posing existential risk to human being safety

It's cool to know that this isn't a real concern and therefore in a clear vantage of how all the downstream anxiety is really a piranha pool of grifts for venture bucks and ad clicks.

A year and two and a half months since his Time magazine doomer article.

No shut downs of large AI training - in fact only expanded. No ceiling on compute power. No multinational agreements to regulate GPU clusters or first strike rogue datacenters.

Just another note in a panic that accomplished nothing.

Really feels like he wants to say something but too scared to commit.

Bro believed the Nvidia hype and came out as a doomer lmao.

Someone I was following on TikTok, whose takes on tech industry bullshit and specifically AI hype I respected, made a video that Roko's basilisk is a serious concern. My apologies to those who have been in this same situation when I was less sympathetic.

truly envy your ignorance on this individual

it's a movie about (only in part but imo motivated by) Spike Jonze's break up with Sofia Coppola. It's neither positive or negative about AI per se. AI is a narrative vehicle for the sense of falling in love, growing apart, being left behind, and the aftermath of that break up. At the end, the AI lovingly says goodbye and leaves humanity behind.

s'alright, tho. It was always a cynical marketing strat to convert hyper-online nerd anxiety into investor hype. may want to check on Big Yud. Idk if anyone has heard from him since his Time Mag article coming onto a year old now, not that I tried.

Some of the risks the team worked on included "misuse, economic disruption, disinformation, bias and discrimination, addiction, and overreliance."

Conspicuous lack of grey goo or hyper-persuasive brainhacking. Still really good at being confidently wrong about basic shit!

Eliezer Yudkowsky @ESYudkowsky If you're not worried about the utter extinction of humanity, consider this scarier prospect: An AI reads the entire legal code -- which no human can know or obey -- and threatens to enforce it, via police reports and lawsuits, against anyone who doesn't comply with its orders.

In its reaction against both EA and AI safety advocates, e/acc also explicitly pays tribute to another longtime Silicon Valley idea. “This is very traditional libertarian right-wing hostility to regulation," said Benjamin Noys, a professor of critical theory at the University of Chichester and scholar of accelerationism. Jezos calls it the “libertarian e/acc path.”

At least the Italian futurists were up front about their agenda.

“We’re trying to solve culture by engineering,” Verdon said. “When you're an entrepreneur, you engineer ways to incentivize certain behaviors via gradients and reward, and you can program a civilizational system."

Reading Nudge to engineer the 'Volksschädling' to board the trains voluntarily. Dusting off the old state eugenics compensation programs.

because China destroyed all the evidence.

lmao, if you don't have evidence for X, you don't have evidence that X is being suppressed. You just lack evidence.
