@elonmusk This is Suicidal Empathy but for AI.

Scott Aaronson is now teaching AI Alignment Theory, a.k.a. “Yudkowsky Studies”: https://t.co/fOzKVFoj2E

Back in the day, Musk split with Larry Page, and helped start OpenAI, because Page considered it "speciesist" to ensure humanity's survival.

Now Musk too has become hostis humani generis.

@nickcammarata how about "whoever wins, ai wins"

[agentofuser 🥌 @agentofuser]

here we are worried about *literal extinction* and the guy is losing his sleep (and wasting his platform) over slop 🤦‍♂️

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

[Palisade Research @PalisadeAI]

Much of the world is trying to figure out what to make of Jacob Coxon's warnings. Are they marketing? Hype? A psy-op?

Most people have no idea how seriously people at the labs take RSI or the possibility of human extinction.

@RokoMijic an unaligned sun is going to exterminate us eventually anyway. worst case (bar s-risk) we get one human survivor to fill the lightcone with possibly higher utility than dumb unconscious dead matter or paperclips.

happy petrov day :)

[Robert O'Callahan @rocallahan]

I resigned from Google today.
I enjoyed my work and loved the people, but my GDM team was working on a new generation of chips to make AI much faster and cheaper, and I think AI is already progressing too fast, so I had to quit.

MIRI read the act and it's ACTUALLY GOOD. Like concretely, this would be massively beneficial, not just as a stepping stone or signaling or whatever.

[Eliezer Yudkowsky ⏹️ @ESYudkowsky]

As passed policy, the Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act would be an extraordinary improvement over status quo. I endorse it. I pray that Republicans and Democrats alike will join their voices in defending against extinction.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Scientists and industry leaders have been increasingly clear: AI could soon be smarter than humans and function outside of our control.

For the sake of all of humanity, Trump and Xi must negotiate a treaty NOW to pause AI and ban superintelligence before it is too late.

Elon Musk: AI has given me nightmares for days in a row.

“If I could, I would certainly slow down AI and robotics.”

“It’s advancing at a very rapid pace, whether I like it or not.”

“Is AI what keeps you up at night?”

“I’ve had a lot of AI nightmares.”

“I’ve had AI nightmares many days in a row.”

“What am I supposed to do about it?”

[Scott Alexander @slatestarcodex]

I think you've done enough calling us paranoid and preposterous. The next step is for you to defend your position in public against someone who will push back against it. I'm happy to meet you for a debate anywhere, anytime.

You're a world-famous veteran of dozens of debates against the world's top intellectuals, and I've never argued in public before, so adjusting for the relative correctness of our positions, if you're a betting man I'm happy to put my $5000 against your $1000 (ie 5:1 odds in your favor) that I'll win by some standard of audience opinion change. Let me know if you're interested and we can hash out details.

[Malo Bourgon @m_bourgon]

Appreciate the candor, but gotta say, I’m not a fan of Elon’s resigned vibe here. We need more of his “shut up and do the impossible” energy now more than ever.
