@chamath but @sama says it’s fine and safe and making people smarter and totally not part of the attention or culture war

[Sam Altman @sama]

here is an alternative path for society: ignore the culture war. ignore the attention war. make safe agi. make fusion. make people smarter and healthier. make 20 other things of that magnitude.

start radical growth, inclusivity, and optimism.

You may be surprised to know that ChatGPT’s beliefs about communism and dictators are frankly, dangerous. Are we ok with the next generation of kids learning that communism is a “good thing” and despite a failed and oppressive past it still deserves a “fair” chance?

Our kids are learning to blindly trust new AIs like ChatGPT, and, by implication, distrust the judgement of parents, educators, and apparently, also history.

Bias will always exist but we may want to think twice before handing our kids over to be unknowingly indoctrinated by extremist content embedded in a large language model.

@jerallaire @USNIBooks tagged the wrong account @NavalInstitute

[H @hector__159]

@jerallaire economic competitiveness is great, but this is nothing short of a strategic imperative

US Navy’s blue water control of the commons has been the lynchpin of global security and commerce since 1945

if we want to influence the next century we must get this right @USNIBooks

@lopp optimal recommendations are going to be highly dependent on your life

easier to work with an Olympian than the balance a normie’s health goals with work, family, social, etc

any app that wants to solve this effectively is going to need access to your schedule at a minimum

this is a much bigger deal than people realize, its basically unheard of for a thesis to make the best seller lists
