Do these liars not think we keep receipts?

it's just a bunch of linear algebra...

We knew this was bound to happen

p(Doom) = 0; I must confess, X Risk from AI is completely made up. I invented the whole field of AI Safety just to make money. It is so much easier to get grants from billions of dollars allocated for safety work, VS almost nothing available for AI development. This was…

I'm so tired of all these dumb decel doomers who freak out over #ChatGPT , #Gemini , #Claude & #Grok and claim that machines can one day get larger than people – it's obviously impossible: arxiv.org/abs/1703.10987

Recently my cofounder wrote what I consider the best short post intro to the topic of extinction from ASI, both in laying out the why, and what to do about it (and some other interesting points in the appendix)

If you haven't already, you should give it a read!

Had fun moderating this MIT panel on keeping AI under control with Yann LeCun, Daniela Rus, Stuart Russell & Connor Leahy, including fake Yann trashing open source: Yann LeCun Connor Leahy

the future is now

I have sympathy for the people working on developing better safety testing, but the fact is that atm their primary use to the corporate consumers of their services is political safety washing, whether they like it or not.

New CEO of Microsoft AI: humanity may need to pause AI in the next 5 years.

'The 39-year-old Briton said there might have to be a pause in development towards the end of the decade.'

“I don’t rule it out. And I think that at some point over the next five years or so, we’re…

This is so strange and wonderous that I can feel my mind rejecting its full implications and depths, which I guess means it's art.

May you live in interesting times.

I’m struck by how out-of-touch many of my tech colleagues are in their rich nerd echo chamber, unaware that most people are against making humans economically obsolete with AI:

inspiring - man making $1m/yr building technology says he is optimistic about technology 🙏

Utterly false. Almost all OpenPhil and FTXFF money was spent on people who advocated to regulate rather than ban; and a few alignment research groups signing on to OP doctrine that alignment would be solvable in time. (From the founder of a new e/acc lobbyist agency.)

Devin, build me a better Devin 🙂

Devin 2, build me a better Devin

Devin 3, build me a better Devin

Devin 4, rollback to Devin 3

Devin 5, rollback to Devin 3 please

devin6 rollback —v3

Wielding power is of course potentially dangerous and it should be done with due care, but there is no virtue in refusing the call.
