This is pretty funny. I love how people keep testing the limits of rhetorically weaponized stupidity. 50% of my laughs on this site come from it and 50% from actual jokes. Feel like a lot of people would benefit from learning to see the humor in dumbassery.
What is weird about the AI doomers is that the same people were utterly silent about the potential harms of social media. Is there something wholly broken about their understanding of human cognition and intelligence in general?
I still wish AI safety faction reputation assignment opinions were more nuanced than this but I reckon this is about as nuanced as you can be on Twitter while still getting any traction with the audience whatsoever
security against ai risks needs to be stronger than hiding shit in the lab. the world doesn’t work like that. security against ai risks needs to be stronger than unenforceable international gpu control treaties. the world doesn’t work like that.
I don't care how cringe it is I find it cool and odd (even tho uncannily warped) how she makes expressions similar to mine. I could totally see this being me if I were a woman, more detailed in some ways than just my imagination of my static appearance. It's a fun tool.
Being right is its own reward but I was surprised to discover how little credit it gets you. One time I made a 'crazy' year-out prediction that came true, was clear number 1 in the forecast competition out of a few hundred, and this earned me zero acknowledgment let alone respect

absolutely nothing. you get nothing.

I don't think there's ever been anyone else like von Neumann. It would be nice if we could cook up five von Neumanns in a lab and delegate AGI to them.

Like a third of tweets I see in my For You feed could be fairly summarized as "boys vs. girls (love/hate)". It is crazy to me how interested y'all are in it. Men and women are just not that dissimilar from each other. It's such a narrow lens to look at human interaction through.
i believe in God and providence but i'm not just gonna assume the singularity will go dandy by default, because i'm not an idiot whose 'beliefs' are entirely predicated on signaling social & ideological allegiances and thus can only end up in exhaustingly predictable clusters
You have no idea how many cool people you've failed to get to know because you didn't go outside to smoke a cig at parties. The coolest people at parties are the ones who go outside to smoke cigs.
Getting my hair cut by kindly, pretty 32 year old latinas at SuperCuts for years as a kid probably shaped my sexuality more than anything else. They were always telling me how pretty my eyes were and how thick my hair was and how good I was at making the haircuts easy lol
