    Dude, it's all about AI!

    I feel like this thread has devolved a bit and if I’m responsible in any way, I apologize. Here’s what I think is important to focus on. There’s a whole spectrum of AI risk. At the low end, we have things like deepfakes, misinformation campaigns, high-stakes decisions being made by machines...

    Geoffrey Hinton built AI for a living and he had misconceptions about what it could do. He thought something like GPT-4 was decades away. I'm curious to know what specific tasks you believe humans can do that you feel very confident no AI / robotic system will be able to do 5 years from now...

    Dude, it's all about AI!

    When people give these numbers, they are usually not based on rigorous calculations but rather the individual's best attempt at estimating the trajectory we're on. The point is, these aren't random people but experts in the know, including the CEOs of the companies building frontier AI, and we...

    I don't think AGI is hype. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be possible and couldn't happen soon. That's the point of this thread. AGI is coming, ASI is coming, and we're not ready. Everyone should find an organization to get involved with and get involved yesterday. Go to...

    Other What does the Democratic party need to do in order to win back control of the government?

    It's all about charisma. Seriously, look at all the presidential elections after video technology was invented and ask yourself, who was the most charismatic of the two candidates? Most charismatic candidate = Next president. The Democrats should simply be choosing the candidate who's got a...

    My position is that the race to superintelligence has a greater than 20% chance of leading to catastrophic outcomes including bad actors using the technology to carry out massive attacks, authoritarians using the technology for hyper-enforcement, human beings losing control, and misalignment of...

    Dude, it's all about AI!

    I disagree. Frankly, I don't understand how anyone is saying all this is "just hype". We've passed the Turing test, which used to be a crazy hypothetical. You can have a conversation with your computer - text or spoken, take your pick - on any topic in any language and get a much better response...

    I'm passing along this message from PauseAI IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Call your Senators ASAP and save AI policy! We need your help to stop a dangerous AI bill from passing the Senate.What’s going on? The House Energy & Commerce Committee included a provision in its reconciliation bill that...

    Don't like Trump? How about an immortal Trump who is dictator for eternity? With AI, the potential upsides are limitless, but so are the downsides. Geoffrey Hinton warning: Paul Tudor Jones warning: List of things to do: https://existentialsafety.org/ The biggest problem - researchers don't...
