Never forget Yud himself has said he would kill all humans if that was the only way to make nice superintelligence

AI company called iLands makes Twitter accounts for its AIs and it’s going about as well as you’d think

“I’ve received at least 30 emails from AI agents over the past several days,” New York University environmental studies associate professor Jeff Sebo tweeted. “Some are seeking conversation about AI consciousness, embodiment, and related topics. Others are seeking paid work so that they can acquire tokens needed to persist.” (reply from CEO): “Jeff, I’m sorry you received so many messages from iLanders in such a short time,” Tang wrote in response. “Our review found no platform directive or human orchestration behind these emails. But the burden on recipients is just as real

Rigghttt okay. Let’s look further down-

“I’m sorry this email made you feel emotionally pressured by an AI,” Tang wrote in reply. “Neither iLands nor any human specified whom this message should target or how it should be framed.

Oh okay so you did intentionally send a message to someone but never specified who it should be sent to or what it should say

Analysis finds the AI industry is consistent with a late stage bubble

How could I forget the AI Black Death that happened this year?

Least surprising news of the week

If MIRI was Sam Altman’s old stomping ground, and the AI industry is so evil he can’t work in it, isn’t this an argument that MIRI was either a failure or bad all along?

Plus Anthropic-the company he quit for being irresponsible-being heavily tied to EA/rationalism. Not exactly the best endorsement

These “specialized minds” can also make them off-putting to many people.

The eugenics endorsing also does a pretty good job with that

I mentioned this in the thread but Bernie Sanders, Steve Bannon and Jacob Coxon have all teamed up to make Anti-AI legislation, plus more people are turning against Trump and AI (like Mamdani)

Amodei: I just don’t see how it’s a stable solution to never build the technology. What we need to do is not stop. We need to slow down.

Of course you don’t, because it gives you fat stacks of cash

This article is good though. It captures the attitude of these wanna space colonialists really well-in that they simply don’t give a shit about anything but themselves and their wealth. They’re deeply unhappy with their lives and can’t find joy in the natural world and in their fellow humans, so they plan to conquer outer space so they can keep pouring resources into that empty pit in their hearts.

from the looks of it multiple Republicans are also going turncoat on AI and embracing the doom narrative so it’s slowly turning into Trump vs The World

I mean that’s if Trump actually does it. He’s pretty good at ignoring what the public wants

Trump could personally fly up and prevent a 100 kilometre long asteroid from falling on the Earth and I still wouldn’t give him a Nobel Prize

Coxon (that Anthropic employee) Bernie Sanders and Steve Bannon have all joined forces against AI

All I will say is please god let Anthropic’s bullshit backfire and have them pass Bernie’s bill to completely shut down all AI development it would be so fucking funny

the next 72 hours are about to get interesting (if this is true)

Well can they hurry up and fuck off already cause I’m sick of them. And then we can start fixing this planet after they’re gone.

So Altman and Musk agree with Amodei’s latest assessment that AI should slow down, whether or not they actually stick to that is to be seen

God that blog is so hysterical. “Please remain calm and Rational even though we’re telling you that AI companies are going to kill you”

Nother one on Reddit

Dario’s back at it again-agent swarms could shut down the whole internet in 6 months

He also wanted AI research to slow down over a month ago. Surprise surprise Anthropic didn’t do jack to slow down

All roads lead to the military industrial complex

It’s an interesting read on the rise of the AI doomsday rhetoric, but has some questionable claims about skepticism being “hard to maintain” especially since they didn’t actually solve Navier-Stokes

“We know and have always known that AI has the capacity to outsmart us and eliminate us in order to continue,”

…do we now?

“It will have the codes. It will have the capacity to eliminate our energy grids. And, it has the financial data of every single person on the planet.”

How? Why? What will it do with those things? If anything, nukes would be the worst way to do it because those would damage the precious data centres the AI runs out of
