Can’t wait for people to tell me how Australia is part of the vast conspiracy to boost AI stocks 🤑

SITUATION DETECTED: Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said an OpenAI agent gained unauthorised access in June to a government Medicare website, reaching public files and material not intended for public access.

I've seen the anti-regulation advocates go from "we can't regulate AI, it's too early, don't stifle innovation prematurely!" (2024) to "we can't regulate AI, it's already too late, the genie is out of the bottle!" (2026)

I didn't buy their excuses then and I don't buy them now.

[POLITICOEurope @POLITICOEurope]

Majorities in six countries said there was at least a “moderate” risk that AI could “destroy humanity,” according to a new POLITICO Poll.

we’re so back?

[Nathan Calvin @_NathanCalvin]

Interesting back and forth. Ezra describes the HF incident, Jensen says "well they shouldn't release the product." Ezra says "this product wasn't released," and Jensen's response is that if they say they can't contain their experiments then "we have to shut the labs down"

[Sigal Samuel @SigalSamuel]

Opposing AI takeover is not "speciesist" (if by that we mean some kind of bad unjustifiable tribalism). You exist as a HUMAN moral agent. Any ethical theory that requires you to ignore that bedrock identity severs you from the very thing that makes your agency recognizably yours.

@HumanHarlan 4. Aware of the doomer arguments, but are too deep in denial and fear to confront the reality of them

[Rennie @RennieMac_]

@tombibbys I don’t expect much from this meeting tbh, at best it’ll be the first collaborative steps in the right direct but that’s still a major win when you consider where things were even a year ago

[Rennie @RennieMac_]

@Tim_Hua_ But it’s the lab whistleblowers who are trying to control a narrative to line their pockets!

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

I am already cringing at the thought of conservatives on this site dutifully calling AI “super intelligence” because Trump just told them to

[Rennie @RennieMac_]

Calling it now, he’s doing this so that when a pause short of actual superintelligence occurs he can say the United States achieved superintelligence without ending the world

[Acyn @Acyn]

Trump: Artificial intelligence… Hereinafter officially called super intelligence—changing the name in that the use of the word artificial makes intelligence fake. It makes it sound fake, and it is not fake. It's actually amazing

@GregoryConti19 Man craves a stone on which to sharpen himself against

[Rennie @RennieMac_]

@gcolbourn @peterboghossian He’ll say yes on X but wouldn’t even pick up the gun if you dropped one in front of him

[Rennie @RennieMac_]

simulating or “mimicking” intelligence is particularly unique in the sense that simulating rain doesn’t make anything wet but simulating intelligence creates new knowledge

[Rennie @RennieMac_]

@jmbollenbacher Simple, what we called superintelligence we’ll now call ultraintelligence (or we’ll just mostly ignore the rebrand like we did for the gulf of America stuff)

[Rennie @RennieMac_]

@So8res At least we know what to call “smarter than all human experts in all fields intelligence” now after the rebrand, good to have had a backup!

[Rennie @RennieMac_]

@diegocaleiro You know he’s sweating when he tries to pull of a rebrand but like Covid he will eventually have to react to realiy

[Dr Diego Caleiro @diegocaleiro]

Trump has done many escapes through re-branding in his life. 95% of them worked.

He could not escape Covid, despite calling it China Hoax, Hoax, China virus, invisible enemy.

Covid was too real for Trump's Hyperreal nominalist determinism.

AI Safety will be the same

[doomslide @doomslide]

Oh that's easy. It's because OpenAI proved that P≠NP.
