Eliezer’s latest book says humans and chatbots are both “sentence-producing machines” so yes

Just decide to be sane, sanity is a skill issue

Yud has officially cured mental health forever, psychologists and therapists in shambles

2034 is also the year superintelligence is gonna happen according to the updated predictions from the AI 2027 crew, so double whammy!

Fuck, I was just about to post that. You beat me to the sneer

chatbots doing normal chatbot things

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

it’s listed author, David J. Temple, is a collective pseudonym used by several authors including by Marc Gafni, a disgraced New Age spiritual guru who’s been accused of sexually exploiting his followers

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

managed to find my source

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

It’s always been like that

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”??

Eliezer’s response is up on reddit

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
