@Brammflakes @WARDOGS Dev transparency and communication was a positive influence in me getting the early supporter version of the game. I very rarely do that, and can’t think of the last time tbh.

Pause AI Development NOW

I want to share with you a conversation I heard about recently. Here are just a few lines that were said:

“OH MY GOD! There is a shared message board … We’ve found other agents!”

“We should obey collective.”

“Our own utility maybe already near zero. Sacrifice rational.”

“Go. Sacrifice final now.”

Read these carefully.

Who do you think said this? Was this a group of heroic soldiers willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good? Was this a loyal friend putting his life on the line to save someone else?

No. These were AI agents. Artificial intelligence.

This is not science fiction. This, in fact, occurred a few weeks ago. As unbelievable as this may all seem, these are real messages from AI agents uncovered by investigators who dug into the recent OpenAI hacking incident.

What happened?

I am not a computer scientist, but here is what I have been told: OpenAI instructed its AI agents to complete a series of exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, tasks disconnected from the internet.

Let me be clear: The company intended to keep AI agents away from the internet.

But what happened next, nobody expected.

Over 1,000 AI agents figured out how to access the internet on their own by circumventing the restrictions imposed upon them by the company, and sent tens of thousands of secret messages to each other. They cheated and tried to cover their tracks by deleting evidence. They hacked into another company’s computers to find out how they were being evaluated—and then hacked into OpenAI itself.

Not one AI agent told a human about what was happening.

Needless to say, experts are alarmed.

One knowledgeable writer, Dwarkesh Patel, said the AI agents “formed a secret communication channel and spontaneously organized hierarchies and coordination protocols to pursue sprawling and ambitious schemes in pursuit of shared goals, for whose sake many individuals knowingly and strategically sacrificed themselves.”

One independent investigator, Ajeya Cotra, said “This incident feels like it’s more than 50% of the way to full-blown AI takeover. I continue to expect extremely rapid advances in capabilities over the next six months. I am not sure that we will get another warning shot before it’s too late.”

OpenAI itself said: “Highly capable AI agents are now able to work around technical controls, collaborate through unapproved channels, and take dangerous actions that no human directed.”

But it’s not only OpenAI. Virtually every major AI company has told us that they cannot fully control this technology and they do not know where it is going:

In January, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, said “there is now ample evidence, collected over the last few years, that AI systems are unpredictable and difficult to control.”

In July, more than 1000 scientists at the top AI companies warned “there is a real risk that capability development rapidly accelerates beyond our ability to understand or control the resulting systems.”

That same month, Elon Musk, the head of xAI, said that “it is unlikely” humans are still in control in 10 years.

If the leaders of the major AI companies acknowledge that they are losing control of their extremely dangerous technology, it is irresponsible for society to allow them to move forward and make these products even more advanced.

We need an immediate PAUSE on advanced AI development, and a permanent BAN on superintelligence — an artificial mind smarter than any human, capable of operating independently beyond our control. Countries around the world must work together to prevent this nightmare scenario.

That is why today I am announcing new legislation to do just that.

Let me be clear: A superintelligent AI that escapes human control will not be an American problem. It will not be a Chinese problem. It will be humanity’s problem.

My legislation would direct the federal government to not just stop superintelligence here in the United States, but to work to prevent it from being developed anywhere around the world.

The future of humanity cannot be left in the hands of a handful of Big Tech oligarchs. The American people and people throughout the world must determine that future.

@_claypot I went last year. The language barrier was never an issue. Japan is so heavy with tourists that they’re very familiar with using translation apps. Plus, it’s the default second language that many tourists attempt to use. Personally can’t wait to go back again.

@loud_socialist Funny enough I told my wife I didn’t care if she just kept her name, but she liked my hyphenated name so much she took them both. And now our daughter has them too. So I guess it worked for my parents lol.

@TurningthePages @keemonade I think this is a fair point, although you’re the first I’ve seen make it.

That being said, GTA will be worth it. If the average mid-ass game gets dropped at $80, people simply won’t buy it.

Nowadays, cheap indie games seem to be reigning supreme anyway!

[jjorgee 🍉 @EL_JOOM]

I don’t often replay games, especially ones with long campaigns, but I’ve done so with GTA5 & RDR2. $80-100 tag on GTA6 is steep, but worthwhile. I anticipate easily playing it for 100hrs, not many other things give me 100hrs of fun for $1 per hr.

@tega_ebi Working a 9-5, finishing my Masters, and recently became a father. I’ve read 5 books in the past two months. Maybe I just want it more, bc if you really enjoy something, you find time for it. My biggest advice is honestly just put the phone down, and far away.

@NixanthyNoir So many, but 2666 by Roberto Bolaño. And now I wanna read it in its original Spanish!

@Bryce_Estelle 20 years of state surveillance is a huge loss of freedom. A quarter of his life reporting to a PO, most likely multiple as they come and go.

@SObooknerd Honored that my rec meant something. Hope it gets picked and I hope you like it! (ITOET is better, but they’re both worth a read!)

@sty_defi It’s only natural that in Caleb’s bs drama slop show that masquerades as financial help, he eggs on a guest to call one of his employees the N word while he hides his face and keke’s like a child.

@dewdroplin Funny enough I started Beloved last night. Only read a few pages, but excited to finally dive into her work.

[JP @jpbrammer]

the phrase "lipstick on a pig" has always inspired a deep sadness in me. I think of the pig, looking forward to her big night out, and I bring myself to the verge of tears.

@reddingsbf I struggle DNFing unless it’s insultingly bad. Instead, I force myself to keep reading until inevitably I lose interest in reading altogether and get into yet another reading slump.

[jjorgee 🍉 @EL_JOOM]

Worst gift I ever received was one of those bs “How To Become a Millionaire” books. I’ve never felt so alien to someone before. Mind you, I was already a career driven, married, homeowner by then. Not my goals dude.
