the great thing about capitalism is that it's impossible for technological advances to make your working life easier or better

You obvs haven't looked at what's happened in the last couple of years! Some lf the hacks the swarm did were beyond the creative genius of all but the best human hackers (and done 100x faster). cdn.openai.com/pdf/67869394-…

this is trivial to prevent btw

The "godfather of AI," Geoffrey Hinton, left Google so that he could sound the alarm about the dangers of the technology. You may disagree with him but it is just dishonest to paint all of the concerns as coming from industry plants and it's Q-anon level nonsense to paint it all as an elaborate psyop.

I feel optimistic after our epic Pro-Human Assembly this week brought together Bannon & Bernie, faith & labor leaders, and the strongest-ever bipartisan opposition to the AI race-to-replace. The tide us turning! Here's my opening framing; links in replies. #ProHuman

Big Tech: “We’re going to cause doom”
Reasonable people: “What???”
Big Tech: “Stop being such doomers”

Andrew Ng is claiming that the idea that AI could make us extinct is a big-tech conspiracy. A datapoint that does not fit this conspiracy theory is that I left Google so that I could speak freely about the existential threat.

AI will likely NOT kill all humans by 2030; whoever is saying that is probably exaggerating.
More accurately, it will likely destabilize the internet, the global economy, communications, food, water, health, transportation, and energy systems, and potentially trigger WW3.

disgusted by everyone dunking on Noam
Stop being insecure little shits, your fear is showing. Yeah the CPU temp manipulation is not a great p2p protocol. The point is that the dimensionality of our systems allows ALL KINDS OF VERY ZANY BRIDGES for a smart enough attacker.
OpenAI's Noam Brown says air-gapping the computers may not stop a misaligned AI, because two air-gapped machines can still talk by running a CPU hot and reading the temperature change
"But I think the major takeaway from the incident is that people underestimated the AI. And we never want to be in a situation again where we underestimate the AI. It's a weird world, because AI progress is so fast that people are consistently underestimating the AI."
"So to be in a situation where you don't underestimate it again, when it comes to safety and alignment, you have to have a very, very, very high bar."
"You could even go as far as to say, "Well, we should air gap the computers." And I'm not convinced that that would be sufficient."
"There are studies, and this is mostly academic, where you can have two computers next to each other that are air-gapped and they're still able to communicate with each other because they have temperature sensors."
"One of them is able to run their CPU really hot, and then the other one can actually detect the temperature change, and then that actually gives them a mechanism to communicate."

People seem to get very hysterical when one points out that *LLMs* (stands for "large-language models" btw, not "alphafold") are a net negative. Interesting phenomenon!

The chances of catastrophic harm from AI are so much more likely to come from government misuse/fuck up than some wild theoretical sci fi x risk scenario
NEW: An AI-assisted intel report sent the military scrambling to intercept a Chinese ship in the Middle East it believed was transporting components of a nuclear weapons program.
It turned out to be a hallucination. And it "almost started a war." cnn.com/2026/09/18/politics/…

If you know, you know.
Fields Medalist James Maynard:
"I've been interested and I've been following AI, but I've heard all these predictions that just sound like sci-fi and I've been consistently dismissive and skeptical of all of them.
But I've been consistently wrong. The people who sound like they're talking from a sci-fi novel are the people who've been making much much more accurate predictions.
The risks posed by artificial intelligence are an emergency that should not be dismissed as hype."

Everyone's hair is on fire over AI at the moment, but we were completely compliant as the Algo colonized us and all our children.

If you force people to pick between survival and liberty they're going to pick survival every time.
People who are libertarian/right wing and horrified by a bunch of Berkeley commies taking over AI need to understand this.
You cannot win if your offer to people is that they get to keep their liberty in exchange for not surviving.
