Raccoon🇺🇸🏳️🌈I mean jeez, this is fucking #Deathism.
No wonder these people hate #EliezerYudkowsky if they literally want Global Warming to kill people. His casual Libertarian / Socialist musings are literally the antithesis of this racist sexist pro-death fascist idiocy, and he's literally spent the last 10 years screaming "don't let these people run society."
In fact the fact that the people he was associating with here are so fundamentally at odds with #Yudkowsky speaks VOLUMES about his character, in ways that are making me reassess my issues with him: I'd take an entire #LessWrong worth of rambling Yudkowsky fans over Joscha Bach's brand of fascist deathism any day.
AndyW#ezraklein interviews #eliezeryudkowsky pioneer of #ai safety research. Most compelling case for why our collective hair should be on fire.

I get a lot of requests for a piece on the AI 2027 paper. That’s the one that draws a lot of lines going up on a graph to show we’re getting a genuine artificial general intelligence by 2027! Then it kills us all.
But the important thing about AI 2027 is that it comes straight from the hardcore AI doomsday cult nutcases.

AaronAnd in case you still don't get the snark: I just demolished his entire mythology, developed over decades with countless charts, graphs, and concomitant speculations, using two generic, measly little graphs and no data. Along with it, I also demolished any rational basis for the cult of the Singularity that rose up in his wake, and all the techbro longtermist singulitarian speculation you hear coming out of kooks like Sam Altman and Eliezer Yudkowsky.
A house of fucking cards, knocked down by a slight breeze.

HardWired@indigo8s #aidanger Because of the profit motivation (these machines spit out gold), there will be no slowing down. I don’t have a lot of faith that everyone working on AI will decide to put safety before money. This may be the end of all of us. For those not familiar with #eliezeryudkowsky I suggest searching for his videos on AI alignment. Here’s one of his videos as an introduction: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=Yd0yQ9yxSYY
AI alignment is a hard problem and it is not solved yet. Worse, we don’t currently have a promising research path that is leading us to alignment. Everyone is understandably rushing towards AI now because it will make a lot of money, for some, and there will be legitimately many valuable breakthroughs that will benefit society. #eliezeryudkowsky #tedtalk #ted #aidanger https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Yd0yQ9yxSYY&pp=ygUaZWxpZXplciB5dWRrb3dza3kgdGVkIHRhbGs%3D
