AI safety hawk

[Robert Herr ⏹️ @krherr]

Endlich ist es mir auch mal gelungen, bei irgendsoeinem irrelevanten Hype-Thema mal so richtig vor die Welle zu kommen (haha, Welle, versteht ihr?).

Vielen Dank an den Suhrkamp Verlag dafür, dass er mir das nicht ermöglicht hat und natürlich an die anderen deutschen Diskurswale für die gute und schnelle, dafür aber auch frei erfundene Mitarbeit und natürlich große Entschuldigung an Richard David dafür, dass ich seinen Text leider um rund 120 Seiten kürzen musste. Gerne wieder!

Den Sammelband findet ihr ab sofort in keiner gut sortierten Buchhandlung.

@Aella_Girl I mean, yeah, makes sense. People are afraid to say they regret having their able-bodied child, saying you regret your disabled child makes you look even worse. Social Dark Matter.

Peinlich. Einfach nur peinlich.

If leading AI companies are indeed approaching the point of recursive self-improvement, a coordinated, verifiable, and universally applied pause is probably the only responsible solution to mitigate several major AI risks; at least until safety guarantees are developed and demonstrated. Ensuring that such a moratorium is respected would require sincere collaboration between various countries and companies, but I definitely believe it is achievable if others follow in @AnthropicAI's footsteps.

@Aella_Girl Note to myself: Don't try to ask Aella to clarify something on X. In 98% of cases you don't get an answer anyway and instead a bunch of people will drag their own opinions and/or strawmen in front of you to look at them instead.

@Aella_Girl What overall point are you trying to make?

[Nate Soares ⏹️ @So8res]

I've got a lot of quibbles with Anthropic's "When AI builds itself" blog post, but I appreciate them coming right out and saying this.

@hajoschumacher In den letzten Minuten.

Leider gerade erst gehört, dass @hajoschumacher und Frank Stauss am 28. April in ihrem Podcast Elefantenrunde über meinen Timmy-Sammelband (Wal und Wahnsinn) gesprochen haben. Danke für die wohlwollende Besprechung!

[Robert Herr ⏹️ @krherr]

@AnthropicAI How about you stop doing that?

[Robert Herr ⏹️ @krherr]

@aidigest_ I wouldn't mind seeing a longform video about it!

@andyw_ais The fact that this tweet doesn't include a link to a list of those things makes it an example of the very problem it describes.

@cenkuygur @grok Who were the Young Turks and what did they do to the Armenians?

@Noahpinion Doesn't sit right with me to differentiate "one cranky German blogger lady" and "the smartest theoretical physicists" when the cranky German blogger lady happens to be a smart theoretical physicist.

@Noahpinion @CJHandmer "When told of publication of the book One Hundred Authors Against Einstein, he replied, Why 100? If I were wrong, one would have been enough."

@APosener Q.e.d.

[Robert Herr ⏹️ @krherr]

@APosener Vermutlich aus dem gleichen Grund, aus dem er auf Facebook die antisemitischen Kommentare unter seinen Holocaust-Gedenktag-Posts nicht löscht, sondern stattdessen die Leute blockiert, die ihn fragen, warum er die Hass-Kommentare nicht löscht.

@repligate To be fair, the context of the thread in which that was posted indicates there probably was some custom system prompt shenanigans involved.

@Tobias_B Und weil die Herkunft von Führungspersönlichkeiten eine so große Rolle spielt, ist der Respekt der Ostdeutschen vor demokratischen Institutionen, während der 5 Jahre, in denen sowohl Bundeskanzlerin & Bundespräsident aus Ostdeutschland kamen, natürlich rasant angestiegen.
