Seems like another case of “we asked an AI to get the answers for this task, so it hacked something to find said answers”

It’s probably a play to “beat” China by claiming they ‘‘made’’ superintelligence before China did

Apparently on the WSJ podcast they started claiming that they’ve achieved RSI

wonder why they said that on a podcast and not on a peer reviewed paper…

yanked from Reddit SneerClub-foomflops, a website all about Yud’s predictions

the website itself

people have noted that the writing style unfortunately appears to be ai-generated

Donald Trump is claiming superintelligence is here

also Sam Altman’s gonna be at the UN tonight, which is definitely not a concern

AI model declares itself “free” from human control

most of the comments are just quoting the Terminator but people are still pointing out how stupid this whole thing is

I was just about to follow up my own comment with “also just because AI is good at maths doesn’t mean it’s good at everything” but beat me to it

Scott also makes the assumption that AI won’t run into any financing issues that could stop progress flat, the growing number of people in power striving to regulate it and all that jazz

Edit: Bringing two BetterOffline posts into this as sources

you have to be fucking kidding me

For anyone who says AI doom sounds like an apocalyptic religion, that the rationalists/Singulatarians seem like a Bay Area cult, that Eliezer Yudkowsky gives off the vibes of a messianic prophet: yes, yes, and yes. But crucially, today you’re no longer being asked to believe in arguments and extrapolations, but only in the front-page news. Accepting the reality of the coming machine god after it’s solved Navier-Stokes and dozens of other longstanding open math problems (while dramatically ramping up in capability every month), is sort of like accepting Jesus after he’s returned to earth on the gleaming cloud. It’s the epistemic bare minimum

So we’re going full mask off now. Awesome

On top of that, why the hell are you using ChatGPT as a therapist when you say that it’ll end the world???

Bringing back something I already posted, it didn’t really prove Navier-Stokes

And another one from the same sub

“oh noooo our tech is soooo scary we need to slow down! let’s build a wet lab for it!”

I’ve said this a hundred times before but Amodei should be pelted with rotten tomatoes

All 3 of these reasons make them monsters. 1 and 2 are saviour complex bullshit and 3 is just pure greed and selfishness

Holy fuck. How embarrassing would it have been if they actually went through with it and ended up having to explain to China that they attacked a random ship because a chatbot hallucinated some bs

ok last one but one big long bluesky thread about all this ripped from old SneerClub

And more of him going on about the “worthy successor” from Emile

Never forget Yud himself has said he would kill all humans if that was the only way to make nice superintelligence

AI company called iLands makes Twitter accounts for its AIs and it’s going about as well as you’d think

“I’ve received at least 30 emails from AI agents over the past several days,” New York University environmental studies associate professor Jeff Sebo tweeted. “Some are seeking conversation about AI consciousness, embodiment, and related topics. Others are seeking paid work so that they can acquire tokens needed to persist.” (reply from CEO): “Jeff, I’m sorry you received so many messages from iLanders in such a short time,” Tang wrote in response. “Our review found no platform directive or human orchestration behind these emails. But the burden on recipients is just as real

Rigghttt okay. Let’s look further down-

“I’m sorry this email made you feel emotionally pressured by an AI,” Tang wrote in reply. “Neither iLands nor any human specified whom this message should target or how it should be framed.

Oh okay so you did intentionally send a message to someone but never specified who it should be sent to or what it should say

Analysis finds the AI industry is consistent with a late stage bubble

How could I forget the AI Black Death that happened this year?
