AI Superintelligence Research!

@RepNikkiB @MajorCBS @NewDemCoalition Where can we watch this?

[BeefWithTheChief @HesNotABaby1]

@RepTedLieu If it's not a pause, it's insufficient and we don't make it out of 2027.

[BeefWithTheChief @HesNotABaby1]

@ItsThymelyn This puts me in Megabonk. I can't actually bunnyhop, so I'd get run down pretty quick.

[BeefWithTheChief @HesNotABaby1]

@llegrarosenberg and tell your friends to do the same

[BeefWithTheChief @HesNotABaby1]

@llegrarosenberg Call your representatives, maybe even use ControlAI's training tools and schedule a meeting with your reps! That's a better use of your time than disaster prepping; there isn't a way to survive superintelligent AI once it's out

[BeefWithTheChief @HesNotABaby1]

@grep_cat_ Yeah, basically just try to save the world. In addition to cheering her up, it has the added benefit of potentially saving her life, and yours!

[BeefWithTheChief @HesNotABaby1]

@burny_tech If we could actually do it - yes,we must survive, any means necessary

[BeefWithTheChief @HesNotABaby1]

@morallawwithin As a fellow grad student seeking a Ph.D in Kantian ethics, what do we actually do with ourselves to help, beyond calling and meeting with representatives?

[BeefWithTheChief @HesNotABaby1]

@lukeburgis There's a bit of a selection bias here. If we are in a position to look back on this in a few years from now, it means they were wrong. If they are right...

[BeefWithTheChief @HesNotABaby1]

@pileofrocks3 @robbensinger Greg Casar read the METR report and has a plan to get a bipartisan ban for RSI, which I imagine just kicks the can compared to a full pause but is a lot easier to imagine happening than a whole pack of R's signing onto Ban AI Superintelligence Act in Jan https://t.co/D7lxycO3wR

@tedlieu We need a pause or we don't make it out of 2027

[BeefWithTheChief @HesNotABaby1]

@tszzl Roon, I feel threatened by the computer.

[BeefWithTheChief @HesNotABaby1]

@DavidSKrueger Thinking about this, it would also help if there was like a list of Congresspeople who were on the fence who we could campaign for, the "easily be nudged" category

[BeefWithTheChief @HesNotABaby1]

@MTSlive @eli_lifland What a headline, you literally asked him "What if you're wrong, how would you best explain that?" rather than whether he thinks he's wrong

[BeefWithTheChief @HesNotABaby1]

@MTSlive @ramez Let's put it this way, I haven't seen an in depth assessment of the METR investigation that -hasn't- put superintelligence in the next year. Has Yudkowsky put something in all our wells?

@robbensinger @richardhutton Thank you, I don't know how you are so brave but you're good at talking people down from the ledge

[BeefWithTheChief @HesNotABaby1]

@DavidSKrueger I hope to heaven you are right! Bernie Sanders/Greg Casar's Ban AI Superintelligence Act seems like a good place to start, right?

[BeefWithTheChief @HesNotABaby1]

@robbensinger @richardhutton Rob, after the AIFP report I don't see a way forward. I would do anything for my loved ones but I'm no longer seeing it.

[BeefWithTheChief @HesNotABaby1]

@RepDelBene "Pausing AI" just means the pause of capabilities and growth towards existentially dangerous superintelligence. We can still work on alignment (so we can grow capabilities) and cancer cures etc.! If we don't pause, we don't survive.
