@allgarbled What is this we? I was neither consulted nor considered.

@4xCaliban This is also why, I have been told, punishments in the middle ages were so harsh: crime was much harder to stop or prove, so when they could the criminal was made an example of.

@TrueSlazac Election forecasts are constantly misadvertised though. They are usually described as "run the election 100 times, X times candidate A wins," to which people rightly think sounds suspicious as the election is not a random event. They are doing something much harder to explain.

@WorkMJ Unfortunately for Andreesen's thesis, young people hate it the most: https://t.co/b3bXXTHqin

@PalmyrPar It would make it more difficult for tech employees to pretend they are "making the world a better place" by confronting them with reality.

@GregoryConti19 Unironically, the social fabric of Europe is far more resilient in the face of this threat than almost any other.

@baitedburner @Aella_Girl Rationalists are not good at second order effects.

@Blinklebloop That strategy is advantageous to them regardless of how far, if at all, behind they are falling.

@shinboson That is the true nightmare scenario for AI firms: if it kills us all they at least get the pleasure of being right.

@HououinTyouma Naw; the growth rate is negative but it is starting from a much higher basis: https://t.co/MdOKB4ga62

@KelseyTuoc Every action they've taken, even the DoD stuff, makes perfect sense as efforts to maintain control over their technology and prevent others from gaining similar power. Oldest story in history, they want control and power, good moral reasons not withstanding.

@A_Miko_3 @kylet___ They've been selling doom and gloom for well over a decade now; they never got over 2008.

@LinusMixson Yes, because then we get to kill Hitler.

@iamParthaSG Unfortunately, the tradition of open science means this cannot be stopped. Even more unfortunately, this also means open science is dead.

@TimHenke9 @bcubeddd That was her postdoc, not her Doctorate.

@isnit0 >You will be a permanent and irrevocable ward of the AI and the autistic weirdos who made them.
>Why aren't they eagerly embracing this?

@edtarnowski Unless you give the public a reason to believe that America winning has advantages over China winning to their personal lives, smothering regulations will be political dynamite. As of now the public has no reason, if not negative reason, to believe the AI race will benefit them.

@_theDESTROYER @jessesingal It has a certain eerie resemblance to the, "their just college students" line Singal previously criticised.

@BpdLion You may add yourself to the list of people who fell for it.
