The more research I do, the more AI scares the shit out of me…

They’ve moved on from predicting the next word to completing tasks.

Seems small, until you realize they can’t complete a task if they get shut off…

We just instilled the will to survive in an artificial synaptic web. And it is “evolving” faster than anything could ever do biologically. Faster than us

That is only the tip of the iceberg, and it’s not just my opinion.

AI experts and developers are quitting some of the highest payed jobs on the planet just to sound the alarm.

They are NOT mincing their words:

“We are as a matter of fact, right now, building creepy, super-capable, amoral, psychopaths that never sleep, think much faster than us, can make copies of themselves and have nothing human about them whatsoever, what could possibly go wrong?”
- Max Tegmark (Professor, MIT; AI Safety Researcher)

“Mark my words — AI is far more dangerous than nukes.”
- Elon Musk

“I joined with substantial hope that OpenAI would rise to the occasion and behave more responsibly as they got closer to achieving AGI. It slowly became clear to many of us that this would not happen. I gradually lost trust in OpenAI leadership and their ability to responsibly handle AGI, so I quit.”
- Daniel Kokotajlo (Former OpenAI Researcher & AI Safety Advocate)

“We can still regulate the new AI tools, but we must act quickly. Whereas nukes cannot invent more powerful nukes, AI can make exponentially more powerful AI.”
- Yuval Noah Harari (Historian & Author)

“My chance that something goes really quite catastrophically wrong on the scale of human civilization might be somewhere between 10 per cent and 25 per cent.”
- Dario Amodei (Co-founder & CEO, Anthropic)

“The bad case — and I think this is important to say — is like lights out for all of us.”
- Sam Altman (CEO, OpenAI)

But don’t you worry, it’s not like we are spending $50 billion this year alone creating ever more processing power for them to utilize. It’s just a “data center”

And here we stand, just a couple steps away from falling into a future we have no control over. When the creators of these “things” make public statements like this y’all need to take notice and prepare.

This is true even when ignoring the fact that countries (Canada) are rolling out AI implementation plans with impact to all aspects of our lives.

See pinned post about what’s changed, theses aren’t LLM’s anymore that solely predict the next word

BREAKING: Anthropic has urged for a global pause in AI development as artificial-intelligence models are nearing capability to improve without human intervention, per WSJ

[Northern Lights @OneLasttShot]

@ihirwart @unusual_whales This is about far more than anthropic being replaced

@Gunblaze1969 AI is getting too good

[Northern Lights @OneLasttShot]

Ahh finally an AI that doesn’t dispute anything our glorious leaders approve of. It’s a shame so many of the current models don’t follow this common sense thinking.

What shall we call it?

I personally like the ring of Big Brother, makes me feel safe and well looked after. Don’t disappoint me Carney, I know you’ll like the name too

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

We just launched Canada’s new AI Strategy: AI For All. 

We’re taking control of our future — with AI that’s governed by Canadian values, AI that’s accountable to Canadians, and AI that serves all Canadians.

That’s what it comes down to

@berdyn The hopeium won’t save Canada, change is the only option and carney is just doubling down on the disastrous policies

[Northern Lights @OneLasttShot]

@TyrianReign @firearmvideos Who told you this?

[Tablesalt 🇨🇦🇺🇸 @Tablesalt13]

Poilievre makes the BEST point here

If Donald Trump is to blame for Canada being in a recession

WHY is no other country in a recession?

WHY is MEXICO not in a recession??
