I encountered this in the wild over on Reddit about the Pope and AI


I can’t decide if I hate hardcore atheist or hardcore christian claude more


what the fuck’s the Pope gonna do, convert Claude to Christianity?


It’s jawdropping how everyone in Silicon Valley is living in their own little world where AI is the greatest invention ever and everyone should be grateful for living in the year of the AI Gods


A lot of rationalists (again including Yudkowsky) endorse eugenics so that’s probably not a coincidence


Honestly go China im sick of this shit


Can’t find the exact post rn but I remember an AI yt channel (im 90% sure it was the AISpecies guy) using this as proof that ASI is imminent, and conveniently left out the part at the end where they say this does not indicate that AI is now a general-purpose alignment scientist (and also left out the link to the sources in numerous posts iirc so no one could fact check him easily)


The myth that talking about bubbles prevents bubbles for when someone starts saying some “oh but everyone says AI is a bubble which must mean its not”


REALLY? LMFAOOOOO


Did it actually solve this one or did it just find a pre-existing solution like it did the last time?


Another read (on substack) on the rising hatred of AI data centres and its political implications


Huh, interesting. Those slogans are also rather “interesting”
”we need better messengers”
Is he realising that showing up to a debate in a sparkly fedora and goggles is not going to make people take him seriously?


The marketing mentions “a sprinkling of AI experts” even though Yud’s position on Twitter is that he is not an AI expert.
wait really? He actually said he’s not an expert?


AI CEOs Baffled by Hatred of Their Technology
“Why do people hate us so much? We only constantly say the technology we’re making is dangerous and then block regulation, suck up resources, commit mass theft and plagiarism, threatened to destabilise the economy, enabled more CSAM, caused widespread mental health issues and multiple suicides, unleashed a barrage of slop, engaged in mass surveillance and mocked people against the tech? Don’t they know AI is the future and will create a utopia where we all live in a simulation in space?”


I’m curious to know the % of rationalist vs non-rationalist ratings for it


I know. We can dream though
This was from last year but I forgot about, but this article allegedly about a survey conducted by MIRI and Stanford University on a bunch of AI experts about timelines, which is definitely entirely AI generated since said survey straight up doesn’t exist (I didn’t find anything like it when I did some searches) and it quotes a person who doesn’t work for MIRI
the website title being “ai blogs ai” kinda gives it away
