We need to either change english or change the keyboard layout, because having 'provably' and 'probably' so close together is dangerous

Got an iffy-looking email about 'advertising on my channel', googled it and yeah it's a scam to get you to dl a virus. They'd CCd dozens of youtubers (not BCC!) so I emailed a quick warning to everyone. Now a bunch of us are chatting, checking out eachother's channels etc :)

Sometimes I get a comment on a video that I want to reply to with: "That's an important point, and if you're interested in that line of thought then boy do I have a rest-of-the-video-you're-currently-watching for you"

There's a narrative that it was a panic over nothing. Similarly, in the best plausible scenario, we solve AI Safety and years later we're remembered as 'silly people concerned about a non-issue' rather than 'sensible people whose concern helped prevent an issue'

It recently came to my attention that many otherwise smart and well informed people don't know that the Y2K "Millennium Bug" was a real thing, which would have caused *huge* problems if people hadn't worked hard to fix it in time

I might delete this tweet since it reads like I'm talking about AI in games, rather than what I mean, which is games like Chess, Go, Poker, etc

I wonder if people realise how many games have no superhuman AI yet purely because it would cost money to train and you wouldn't learn anything new by doing so, so researchers don't care
