@SimonLermenAI Like this guy is straight up a fucking conspiracy nut and the fact that US Senators are retweeting his stuff is insane. This guy works at a policy institution, and if you try to read any of their work, is steeped in deeply anti-science and anti-intellectual rhetoric.

[Davie @dewdoto]

@SimonLermenAI Calling out foundations that are putting in money into fields that desperately need it (AI safety, etc) is dumb, like they want to make it seem like a ‘left-wing’ conspiracy (which reminds me of the misinformed ‘Soros funding’ theories which are used to attack climate science)

[claire bingus 🔧 @percoquette_]

once again: intersectionality is the only thing that will save us. there is no hope of trans liberation or achieving class consciousness without the liberation of black, brown & indigenous people all over the world. we need to get even more loudly anti-racist & anti-imperialist

[gato fumante @KweenInYellow]

@timschuster @hilbertspaess Using yellow-peril panic to justify abandoning all guard rails is wild lol

[Davie @dewdoto]

leave it to Apple to profit off of people hating AI slop by trying to creating an ecosystem where the only ‘authentic’ photos are the ones ‘captured on iPhone’ with their stamp on it - now they’re freely slopifying the shit out of images on ios

[patrick. @imPatrickT]

it was a blink and you'll miss it moment but Apple just revealed photorealistic generative-AI built into iOS with image playground.

this is will be on everyone's iPhone.

we're in the slop endgame now.

[Davie @dewdoto]

@ilex_ulmus they clearly care too much about IPO money to quit, we shouldn’t have these morally bankrupt people leading the conversation on AI safety

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

@aidangomez i feel like this is going to be A HUGE DEAL for AI bring used in any kind of r&d or science, why the fuck would i work with openai, if they are going to race me to publish my own work

[Davie @dewdoto]

@merettm you’re crazy if you think this blog post means anything, bc maybe as ‘Chief Scientist’ you need to actually be reforming your own company which is actively lobbying against AI slowdowns by doing Big Tobacco things such as HIRING the daughter of the senate minority leader

@percoquette_ like why is it on trans women to learn from the study to get less discriminated against! cis women have some of those features too!! this is just a beauty standards thing which harms everybody

[Davie @dewdoto]

@percoquette_ great thread - the whole german study with the AI generated ‘clocky’ trans woman pictures is a great example, bc those authors don’t even make comments on the biases (which we know are significant) that these models currently have!!! to call that science is despicable

[Davie @dewdoto]

@MasterTimBlais excuse me chat gbt 🤓 my company got caught hiding information from the public again can you write me apology pls thanks 🤓😄👍

[Davie @dewdoto]

@_NathanCalvin exactly! i wonder how many OpenAI folks have seen the company go from ‘public and good and open intelligence’ to actually this grossly negligent mess we’re seeing - hope this causes some self awareness (and whistleblowing)

[Davie @dewdoto]

@JeffLadish he’s a fraud who cultivated power by being good at convincing stupid rich people that he’s smart

[Davie @dewdoto]

@woodstockSSB * Every time I look at *any tgirl* I just wanna lock in on being the most beautiful tgirl I can be for it’s own sake bc all tgirls are so pretty like whattt

[Davie @dewdoto]

i cannot believe i was a suicidal, manic mess and i was posting shit like this holy fuck

[Davie @dewdoto]

just listened to Craig Federighi on the WVFRM podcast - it’s crazy learning that Apple’s actually talking to their consumer base now

2020 has been insane for tech :)

@MKBHD @Apple
