while OpenAI deserves every bit of flack they get, it's comical to see people who criticise OpenAI for creating a 'war machine' turn around and praise Anthropic when they were-by their own admission no less!-the first people to start using AI for military purposes
That’s precisely what I was thinking. Obviously I don’t want everyone to die but if you forced me to choose between apocalypse scenarios, I’m picking something painless and instantaneous- like a super-virus that activates immediately or a bullet in the head-over being slowly tortured to death via something like nuclear radiation or extreme heat
Altman claimed that the company would “amend our deal” to add the prohibition of “deliberate tracking, surveillance, or monitoring of US persons or nationals.”
...so the original statement was a lie then? the CEO who is notorious for being a liar lied? I am very surprised about this information.
I mean yeah I guess in a competition between getting a bullet directly through my brain, getting all my limbs chainsawed off with my head last and being drowned in boiling water, the bullet would win every time. Though the real perversely funniest outcome is if superintelligence turns out to be completely impossible and we fuck ourselves over with garbage to mediocre AI embedded in all our critical infrastructure
another Onion banger for these trying times
” Then you wake up in a cold sweat and can’t breathe at all, almost like you’re drowning—I guess from the weight of untold mobs of people leaping on you and ripping you apart”
the real Scam Altman would never feel any kind of remorse or emotion about this
This piece on how doomers and rationalists have made everything worse with their "AGI is nigh" shtick and ended up giving AI companies way more power than they should and getting chatbots into the military, where they will almost certainly fuck up and kill people
God I hate Anthropic defenders pretending they're the saints of the Earth
I do think the "all of humanity" stuff is a little overblown, but this is legitimately dumb and dangerous and will get a ton of innocents killed + allow the military to dodge accountability. Letting ChatGPT potentially run an autonomous weapon with zero oversight is phenomenally stupid and the tech is nowhere near reliable enough to be able to pull off the kind of precision and decision making military campaigns require, which is what Marcus is saying
this truly is the dumbest timeline huh
I searched for “eugenics” on yud’s xcancel (i will never use twitter, fuck you elongated muskrat) because I was bored, got flashbanged by this gem. yud, genuinely what are you talking about
oh hey I remember reading that Donald Knuth paper earlier today, when it got posted by an AI youtube channel as 'proof' AI is on the path to AGI
