#AIDoomer cultists are ludicrous, but I'm looking forward to a "Warriors" style showdown between the messianic #EffectiveAltruist and Xtian fundies in DC. They are both into different styles of mutually exclusionary kink. It could be delicious.

When Silicon Valley’s AI warriors came to Washington

Effective altruism is increasingly described as a cult. But as the movement’s billionaire adherents pour money into D.C., its obsession with the AI apocalypse is remaking the capital’s tech policy landscape.

#Bullshit as policy proposal. The entire point of this would be to benefit the stacks. Which means that this utterly horrible idea has a real chance of getting turned into reality.

A proposition about the dangers of AI:

What if the greatest near-term dangers of AI are neither the #AlgorithmicBias so ably critiqued by social scientists nor the #AIDoomer scenarios proposed in the tech community, but the consequences of treating #LLMs as-if they already are super-intelligent advisors?

#AIhype might be wrong b/c it over-estimates chat bots, but it's dangerous because it could lead people to delegate analysis and decisions to #StochasticParrots.

"The problem with the ‘schism’ framing is that to talk about a ‘schism’ is to talk about something that once was a whole and now is broken apart — authors that use this metaphor thus imply that such a whole once existed. But this is emphatically not a story of a community that once shared concerns and now is broken into disagreeing camps."

@andrewstroehlein The essence of the #AIDoomer argument is that this phenomenon that saves us only has to fail once.

#OpenAI has the absolute gall* to go all #AIDoomer while having shrugged & said 'sure go ahead' after Microsoft decided to push their Bing chatbot live against the objections of technical teams at BOTH OpenAI AND Microsoft.

Attached: 1 image So… Wait a minute. Let me make sure I have this right. OpenAI said the ChatGPT/Bing integration wasn't ready… And MICROSOFT said they weren't sure that the ChatGPT/Bing integration was ready… …And they LAUNCHED THAT SHIT ON ALL OF US ANYWAY?! When I talk about the kind of conceptual gravity of assumptions around things like "A.I." and other technology, this is the kind of shit that i mean. Slow the FUCK down, REASSESS your assumptions and ASK REORIENTING QUESTIONS.
