Rob Miles has a Youtuber-style animation channel with a new video to communicate the importance of AI safety, and the execution is absolutely top notch.

    Do you know who Rob Miles is?

    I don’t even necessarily disagree with you, but having an awareness of who he is and his history of AI-safety advocacy was pretty effective at turning me from “wtf clickbait” into “oh cool Rob Miles is using clickbait now b/c it’s more effective.”

    I mean the people in this thread definitely seem fascinated by the lewdness aspect 🙂. And obviously I clicked on it, too.

      Oh, I missed that part, clicked on the thumbnail directly to see what BS was this going to be… and was only mildly disappointed.

      But indeed, this being Rob Miles, changes things. I guess most of the video can be seen educational in disguise. A sad moment for YouTube video titles though, when even minimally decent stuff needs to hide behind clickbait.

        Haha yeah. He released all these videos just talking about how it’s a problem, and I can sort of picture him trying to work out, okay I tried just explaining the problem clearly, now how can we make the videos reach a wider audience. I know! (a) sex is involved in the story (b) cute little animations of the computers in a glowy neon style © clickbait title. Okay, check, let’s do a/b/c then, and see how it works.
