why does shit always have to turn out weird
Yeah, I can’t hold it against anyone for feeling scared and overwhelmed with what’s happening in America right now and fleeing. Hope he finds happiness soon
funny how all the tech CEOs are the ones who are saying in the next couple years and all the researchers give 10-20 year timelines. surely this does not mean anything about the reliability of the companies and their claims
Anthropic doesn’t actually give a shit about any of the human harms created by the technology
but yeah it sounds like they got overwhelmed by all the shit happening in the world (there is a lot of shit happening in the world, especially in America) and left for their own mental health’s sake
I though Kurzweil’s latest singularity date was 2032 or smth
Eliezer, I would be very careful about talking about age of consent if I were you
yeah lmfao it was bad. I thoroughly enjoyed titotal’s takedown of that graph. I can’t believe the documentary versions of that paper on youtube have millions of views and people eating it up
Those comment sections are gonna be a joy when 2027 and 2028 roll around
gag. going full mask off now
very late response but this is very funny because Yud made a post about AGI being a meaningless term and you shouldn’t say things like “we have achieved AGI!” and then he turns around and posts this….why??? pick a lane man
that one METR graph was also a big part of the AI 2027 “prediction”
less non-existent money going into OpenAI is always something I’ll take
“pro-billionaire” sorry I just threw up in my mouth a little. Also the billionaires are the ones rushing to create the thing so many rationalists claim is an existential risk, why the fuck would you support them??
I might be crossing a line into conspiracy theory nut over here, but is it weird that both this and his response to the zizzian’s rape allegations have undertones of “i don’t know/im not completely sure”??
following up the previous thread about Eliezer in the Epstein files, he’s responded on reddit
EDIT: this sneer has been deemed important enough for its own post so feel free to sneer there too
possible, iirc drugs were also involved so is it possible he got too high and doesn’t remember because of that?
at least I have SneerClub
the REAL reason Yudkowsky endorsed the “superbabies” project is so Epstein and his pedophile friends have more kids to fuck. It all makes sense now!
I dont like how I can envision this and find it perfectly plausible
in follow-up posts he talks about how he’s broadly in favour of job automation, but has doubts our current government would be able to do that without fucking everyone over, he specified that “if it were a 1950’s government and congress I’d be more hopeful”
…so instead of proposing a solution like “protest against this” or “vote people in power who actually are responsible” he jumps to “your daughter should give up her career and become a sex worker for AI company shareholders”
with the Epstein shitstorm still raging, I would not be saying a damn thing about young women being sex workers for rich and powerful dudes
