Etymology Nerd has a really good point about accelerationists, connects them to religion

Oh and also the roko guy. His idea of a time travelling evil robot sunk little credibility they had deeper and contributed to the internet urban legends collection, for which I am thankful.

Okay this wasn't as dramatic as thought it'd be. And the list seems to be merely alphabetic.

It's some weird wrongthink policy initiative?

He should have mentioned SBF, whose red flags they spectacularly failed to notice despite so many people telling them to, but I guess that's too painful of a thought lol

there is now a video on SciShow about it too.

This perception of AI as a competent agent that is inching ever so closer to godhood is honestly gaining way too much traction for my tastes. There's a guy in the comments of Hank's first video, I checked his channel and he has a video "We Are Not Ready for Superintelligence" and it got whopping 8 million views! There's another channel I follow for sneers and their video on Scott's AI 2027 paper has 3.7 and million views and a video about AI "attempted murder" has 8.5 million. Damn.

I wonder when the market finally realises that AI is not actually smart and is not bringing any profits, and subsequently the bubble bursts, will it change this perception and in what direction? I would wager that crashing the US economy will give a big incentive to change it but will it be enough?

man-made horrors within my comprehension

I did not know how much right-wing media is outrage-farming wikipedia. With AI slop invasion, UK Safety Act nonsense and US government probing I'm getting worried

Okay that's actually crazy. Even if 4chan connection isn't true, the fact that Scott has written "northeast africa has people without souls"... like, what the hell?

on the topic of bunk wiki articles, what is this lmao https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risk_of_astronomical_suffering

Stremio is sorta like netflix. With torentio plugin you can access almost all media for free

Welp, SBF is grifting for a pardon looks like

The shit's so ass I can't even.

There's something I like to call "AI tint" which almost all AI images have. It's when there's something so fundamentally wrong with the picture but you can't tell what. You suspect it's AI, so you go looking for obvious flaws to confirm it.

I don't know why AI bros don't see it. Maybe they do but think it's ok?
