Harari is an open transhumanist from when I did some research into him when I found him on this interview so this seems in character

They also made the “Yudkowsky is frequently, confidently, egregiously wrong” post

They are writing another scenario called “AI 2030” (which we already discussed here) so I wouldn’t be surprised if they decide to ignore the elephant in the room

As expected. It’s grifting the whole way down, never about “safety” but always about money

Then hand me that hammer and let’s get to smashing those data centres

“We have to pick between the climate or AI”

No we don’t??? One problem directly affects the other. Stopping AI data centre build-out helps with stopping climate change.

I could’ve sworn I posted this here but apparently not: the first AI winter in the 1960s-70s which is pretty relevant to today

well great now I’m thinking about this

You’re telling me that the Autism Spectrum is a spectrum and not just the quirky thing people have?

The AI safety company when they actually have to make their AIs safe instead of just making vague suggestions

AGI’s ETA: Delayed (again) due to technical difficulties

came across this one when doomscrolling, pretty good article with healthy doses of skepticism. out of three commenters, one appears to be a rationalist (based off the “empirical evidence” and “instrumental convergence” they mention) who tries to argue that we don’t actually need human-like AI for paperclip maxxing, even though every single AI doom argument is about smart-as-a-human and better AIs. Just comes off as goalpost moving

More on OpenAI’s financial situation

Appears so. Their doomposting shot them in the foot so they have to backpeddle

that the level of capability displayed there is widely available from other models (including OpenAI’s GPT-5.5)

please god let them block ChatGPT access like they did with Fable. it would be so fucking funny

Dude why do we even need or want AGI?

MONAAYYY

Gary’s been on a sneering spree this whole week. While good for him and everything, I truly could not care less for his neurosymbolic AI rambles and mostly read the stuff where he dunks on the current state of AI

Aren’t they still labeled a supply chain risk to the US? Feels like the US having their cake and eating it too

Although it is satisfying to see Anthropic’s methods come to bite them.

On a related note Mythos has been released and as pointed out, the original “GPT-2 is too dangerous to be released” post was written by Dario Amodei, Daniela Amodei and Jack Clark, who are all Anthropic’s founders. Same ploy, different model

Is AI profitable yet? a website that tracks the spending and revenue of leading AI companies. The answer is so helpfully provided at the top of the page

Of course! That “AI Black Death in 2 years” this channel also predicted must’ve happened while we all slept and the AI uploaded us all so it could torture everyone who didn’t contribute to its development!

Happy three months to this bad boy
