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
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!
Yeah in a lot of LLM critiques he prattles on about neurosymbolic AI way too much and it really throws me off
Disappointing that Hank fell for AI, especially after he made that rant video on Sora
The reason these (one of these incidents dates back to April, so they’re really not beating the “marketing campaign” allegations) happened in the first place is because of human error on their end, mind you
“AI safety focused” my ass
Behold, the Singularity!
Fuck Anthropic. Snotty little bastards want to talk about AI safety and then destroy books to make a pollution machine.
Getting a T-Shirt that says “I entered the Singularity and all I got was a plagiarism machine, a higher cost of living and this stupid T-Shirt”
Gary dunks on CEOs peddling Singularity bullshit
I posted about that in a previous thread
Not sure. He’s been charged but can’t find anything about the trial
never thought id see r/moralityscaling and r/whowouldcirclejerk here ever lol. but christ alive why would you ever conceive of this
the AI industry is (still) widely despised
We entered the Singularity and all I got was a bunch of fucking annoying and delusional businessmen
Kinda? They’ve posted an update about it and I suspect there’s gonna be another one soon with august around the corner
this Diary of a CEO channel has always struck me as the kind to fall for any kind of bs hook line and sinker
A recent two hour interview with Kokotajlo I do not have the time to go through all this but if anyone does feel free to go ahead.
What I will say tho is that the thumbnail is definitely some kind of clickbait, because of the “uhm actually we were never confident in 2027” thing
Its truly astounding that they put a marketing spin on committing a crime but thats the AI industry for ya
SpaceX stocks hit an all-time low make it go lower
I know it was a zero day exploit but what specific exploit i have no idea
Full here but TLDR:
OpenAI downloaded a public benchmark to test their newest AI model against. They asked the model to “find the answers” so it hacked into the system of the people who made the benchmark to find the answers
Dean Ball’s name rings a bell to me. Emile Torres wrote an article on him its pretty standard OpenAI exec stuff (that is being a wacko high off his own tech)
“please forgive me for spreading sinophobic propaganda for bailouts i have a baby :((“
I’ve been aware of Faggella for a while (entirely against my will) he’s got an interview with Yud on his podcast which contains this all-timer quote:
