48% of businesses in the UK have no plans to use AI technology and almost a third predict a negative impact. This is why @crazybuster@chiefdoofficer and I started @MindyGenAI : making AI work FOR everyone, including SMBs. Message [email protected] https://t.co/zAtLaKJPch
I'd like to respectfully point out that the logic in this argument is based on a flawed model for how scientists think. Scientists don't just take a weighted average of others' opinions to form their own.
A good scientist takes as input lots of data, including others' opinions, and then ultimately has to reason, build their own internal model of the world, and draw their conclusions from that model.
I give your opinion a lot of weight. And, after having heard many opinions including yours, my internal model tells me that there is essentially no risk of AI human extinction.
So I don't follow the logic that because @ylecun or anyone else disagrees with you (and other AI extinctionists, which IMO are in the minority) that they gave your opinion very little weight, unless we think scientists arrive at conclusions by taking a weighted average of what everyone else thinks.
Since you've gone against the grain many times in your own career -- often brilliantly so -- I assume you're also familiar with what it feels like to give someone's opinion weight, but then ultimately to draw a different conclusion!
If you know me, you know I'm committed to truth and fairness. Here's the truth. Not a single authentic user on X saw IBM’s, Comcast’s, or Oracle’s ads next to the content in Media Matters’ article. Only 2 users saw Apple’s ad next to the content, at least one of which was Media Matters. Data wins over manipulation or allegations. Don't be manipulated. Stand with X.
Nothing about a blockchain is inherently illegal. It's just a data structure, albeit a fairly useless one that doesn't seem to have any applications outside of crime.
It's the selling of securities and the idea of private money built *on blockchains* that should be made illegal.
An article about my vociferous support of open source AI platforms.
Demis Hassabis, Dario Amodei, and Sam Altman (among others) have scared governments about what they claim are risks of AI-fueled catastrophes.
I know that Demis, at least, is sincere in his claims, but I think those claims are incorrect and counterproductive.
The inevitable *effect*, intentional or not, if governments believe those claims would be a regulatory capture profiting their companies.
I do think that the short-term societal dangers of proprietary AI systems that will soon mediate everyone's digital diet are considerably higher than any imagined catastrophe caused by the misuse of open source AI systems.
And I believe that the benefits of open source AI platforms in terms of progress, safety, economic development, and cultural diversity are overwhelming.

What makes me suspicious about virtue signaling is that some of the most oppressive regimes call(ed) themselves "democratic." DPRK is Democratic People's Republic of Korea. DDR stands for German Democratic Republic. Communist Poland was called Polish People's Republic.
