Really, it was the headlines of Google’s AI Overview pulling Reddit shitposts that inspired the return. If Reddit is going to sell its data to Google, then, you know, maybe flood the zone with sludge?

Someone I was following on TikTok, whose takes on tech industry bullshit and specifically AI hype I respected, made a video that Roko’s basilisk is a serious concern. My apologies to those who have been in this same situation when I was less sympathetic.

realizing that all the promises of ending this stupid world were just marketing for some tech/finance bros

s’alright, tho. It was always a cynical marketing strat to convert hyper-online nerd anxiety into investor hype. may want to check on Big Yud. Idk if anyone has heard from him since his Time Mag article coming onto a year old now, not that I tried.

Some of the risks the team worked on included “misuse, economic disruption, disinformation, bias and discrimination, addiction, and overreliance.”

Conspicuous lack of grey goo or hyper-persuasive brainhacking. Still really good at being confidently wrong about basic shit!

"As always, pedophilia is not the same as ephebophilia." - Eliezer Yudkowsky, actual quote - awful.systems

I somehow missed this one until now. Apparently it was once mentioned in the comments on the old sneerclub [https://www.reddit.com/r/SneerClub/comments/jck19i/when_i_see_posts_like_this_i_cant_help_but_feel/g92i95v/] but I don’t think it got a proper post, and I think it deserves one.

Coincidence than this fear occurs the same day the Epstein list is released?
