Will Israel invade Rafah imminently or not? US and Israeli leaders are split & we'll soon see who's accurate. What do *you* predict? improvethenews.org/controversy/wi…

LOL - and every AI nerd knows that the popular neural networks today aren’t even linear…

Public figures still disagree on whether climate change is an existential threat or overhyped. What do *you* think?

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

This scene from 3 Body Problem sums it up: a small group is undemocratically inviting alien intelligences to earth.

“I am warning you: do not answer. If you respond, your world will be conquered.”

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

I admire the calm efficiency of the gentlement speaking here, who saved many of lives by stopping bridge traffic just before the collapse:

I hadn't realized that Disney is the #5 surveillance company, with spy cameras hidden in figurines doing facial recognition on kids:

RIP Vernor Vinge, who coined the term AI 'singularity', but didn't live long enough to see it. Here is is (far right) at our 2015 Puerto Rico AI safety conference.

A Russia-US #NuclearWar would be humanity's dumbest act yet & may kill about 99% in the US, Russia and Europe as seen in our simulation:

One year ago today we released an open letter calling for a six-month pause on giant AI experiments.

A lot has happened since then - far more than we could have predicted.

🧵 Some highlights from the past year of unprecedented momentum and progress addressing risks from AI 👇

I’ve only done a small amount of neuroscience research, but enough to appreciate how amazing it is: Nolan is controlling his cursor with thoughts detected by a Bluetooth device in his head.

It's not a poll, but a compilation of published claims. If you share published predictions by any of them (in media interviews or on X), we'll be delighted to add them!

. Lex Fridman: since you've interviewed virtually this whole list, what's your own prediction?

Top AI leaders strongly disagree on when AI will overtake human Intelligence. 2 or 100 years – what do *you* think? Yann LeCun Gary Marcus Geoffrey Hinton Sam Altman improvethenews.org/controversy/ai…
