What exactly is so good about this presentation? I don't get it. Seems like the usual stuff from EA/Rationalist normies. 🤷‍♂️

Is there any way to opt-out of AI search results? I have absolutely zero use for them. I don't want to see them. And I get angry when I do, lol.

Future of Life Institute Max Tegmark No one has done more to accelerate the AGI race that AI doomers. Tallinn funded DeepMind and Anthropic. Yudkowsky brought AGI researchers together with the Singularity Summit, which enabled Hassabis to meet Thiel. EA-longtermists/Rationalists founded some of these companies. ETC.

$6 billion for xAI, in part from Andreessen Horowitz. Wow. Recall that Musk founded xAI shortly after signing the Future of Life Institute's 'open letter' to 'pause' research that could lead to AGI. What a joke. The 'doomers' have done more to accelerate the AGI race than anyone else.

Speaking of 'AI Safety,' Max Tegmark was chillin with Netanyahu & Elmo a few months ago talking about 'existential risks to humanity' they collectively need to 'save' us from, & dude's institute recently got ~$700M from TESCREAL crypto billionaire.

Masters of gaslighting.

I haven't commented on the latest idiocy w.r.t. Google & their 'AI summaries.' But I honestly don't have anything left to say. We wrote all the papers to be written & gave all the warnings to be given.

Maybe they'll all destroy each other chasing this AGI dream of theirs🤷‍♀️

I am currently leaning toward voting for the very evil lesser evil. Because there will be a nontrivially greater evil on the ballot this November. 👇

This 'Birthgap Facts' website is a fantastic resource for countering some of the pronatalist nonsense out there about, e.g., how we're racing toward a catastrophic collapse of the human population. Highly recommended reading if you're curious about the topic:
