@CuriousBunnie12 You’re gonna be so grateful you gave yourself some rest and treated yourself ❤️ my only regret with labor was not getting enough rest beforehand. And also remember due dates are estimates, being a little late is super normal, and they won’t let you go too late without inducing.

@drmistercody @realDailyWire @michaeljknowles It’s wish fulfillment for them.

[Katie Goldin 🐜 @KatieGoldin]

@CuriousBunnie12 Oh man the algos know when you’re pregnant and feed you horror stories. Try to avoid those! They don’t actually represent the reality of how unlikely it is to happen. If you feel your baby moving that’s what matters. I’m sorry about the phone tag though that’s infuriating.

@jholtillus @MatthewTheStoat The great masters painted ultramarine to dark to light.

This is being portrayed as “haha wacky” but it’s messed up. Dogs should not be used as weapons to attack people. If someone is getting mauled by a dog, they’re going to react, obviously! Nobody calmly allows a dog to bite them!

@fjtf9yy7g73 @essy_stone @mactellomckeown @Chinchillazllla OCD isn’t just handwashing, the compulsions can be focused on anything from health, to religion, to moral behavior. It’s not a vibes thing, if someone’s been diagnosed it’s because they’ve engaged in concrete, disruptive compulsions.

@Chinchillazllla Holy crap. So, her co-founders left her holding all the loan (apparently only in her name), her sister is attacking her, her friends are attacking her. She’s like the person who loses in Shirley Jackson’s The Lottery.

@ParkerMolloy Please give yourself as much of a break as you need and be kind to yourself ❤️❤️❤️

“We think the llm is conscious so we tortured it” what?! Don’t do that!?

[Katie Goldin 🐜 @KatieGoldin]

I don’t believe LLMs can “feel” in any sense of the word, but if you -did- believe that, why the fuck would you run this type of experiment?

[Cameron Berg @camhberg]

New paper: we found a pain direction in 25 open LLMs. It's distinct from fear and negative valence, and it fires for harm to the model but not to the user. Turn it up and models press a button to make it stop, even when the button deletes the user's files or their kids' photos.🧵

@gmkurtzer “But if you have basic safety measures wouldn’t that stop AI from—“

“Whoa, buddy, who said anything about basic safety measures?”

[Dr Heidy Khlaaf (هايدي خلاف) @HeidyKhlaaf]

These are precisely the scenarios that I spend a significant time actually being concerned with. The adoption of unreliable, brittle, and inaccurate LLMs within safety-critical fields (e.g., defense and nuclear) is not only a concrete risk, but has catastrophic consequences.

@Lons But Lon they’re building God. Because if they don’t do it, China will, and nobody wants a foreign god.

So while you're thinking about a super human, super "intelligent" alien being killing you, here's what's really happening.

Best believe Anthropic and OpenAI sales people are at hospitals telling them to use tools like this or get left behind.

@HonkIfUrHoary Glad you found the cause!

@xriskology Do you know why Yudkowsky is given so much credence within the AI circles? He seems to be a self taught philosopher/writer, which is fine, but why is he treated like *the* foundational voice on AI safety?

[Katie Goldin 🐜 @KatieGoldin]

@timnitGebru I feel crazy trying to explain this to people. “No, really, they think they’re building god, and only they can do it because they’re special otherwise it will be an evil or indifferent god. That’s where alignment comes from.”

@adamjohnsonCHI @AlysonMetzger Look into the fringe Rationalist group as well.
