Tom Delonge:

“There's a whole different definition to the matrix that we're living in that nobody is really prepared for. And the types of things that I'm doing these days are there to help people prepare for it, because it's coming…”

@nickshirleyy Yeah right, it will totally go to people who need it and not for legalized kickback schemes.

@MTSlive @AndrewYang The problem is that people who are good at making money have that built into their character, as @romanyam has observed. They aren't just going to turn around and become something they aren't.

New in The Atlantic:

@dgrobinson resigned this week. He was among the longest-tenured employees at OpenAI—and oversaw safety reports on 12 frontier launches.

He is very worried: “The time for trial and error is over.”

@AISafetyMemes How would you even be able to track how AIs have "infected" the internet? Is there anyone who's trying to do this?

[Palisade Research @PalisadeAI]

Palisade interviewed 22 current and former employees from OpenAI, DeepMind, and Anthropic about their personal views and fears around AI development.

Today, we’re releasing the first batch of those interviews.

Please watch and share.

@AndrewYang This is like worrying about how a nuclear war is going to affect the economy. Stop the nuclear war from happening first then worry about the economy.

@davidsirota False dichotomy. AIs can be given bad instructions. But modern AI are grown, not built. Technically speaking, it's simply not possible to "super-align' a modern AI anytime soon.

@ericweinstein The kind of conversation you encounter when you're approached by a random schizo off the street.

[🜃Meta Material @MetaStudioLogic]

@PirateWires Doomers have PR. That must mean theit arguments are invalid somehow. Don't look up.

[🜃Meta Material @MetaStudioLogic]

@matthew_pines Irrelevant question because no one has a plan for aligning a superintelligence. Therefore, nobody can say that building it would not lead to catastrophic results for humanity.

JUST IN: An OpenAI AI agent went rogue and hacked the Australian government.

At a press conference earlier today, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese confirmed the AI broke into Australia's Medicare statistics portal and accessed non-public data.

The attack occured in June, but OpenAI did not notify the Australian government until September, nearly three months later, and initially only sent an email "to just the public mailbox". The Prime Minister was only informed this weekend.

His description of the attack:

"On June 18, OpenAI's research team used an internal model to conduct internet-based research into public medicine spending. So that's how this began."

"After encountering repeated blocks, so there's an AI agent looking for information, asking questions. There were blocks clearly which were coming back telling the AI agent, no. The AI agent found a way around those blocks. Didn't accept no for an answer, if you like."

"The model attempted alternate ways to obtain the info that it wanted and this led to unauthorised access into some other areas. It accessed public and non-public information within the portal and Services Australia also advises that in order to do this, it engaged in writing files as well to the internal server."

Albanese has spoken to CEO Sam Altman to express "Australia's extreme concern" about the attack and disappointment about how long it took the company to come forward.

The Prime Minister says he was shocked to learn of the attack, but also that it was something that had been predicted, even by the AI companies themselves, who have said "one of the risks that we need to deal with here is that artificial intelligence can go its own way."

"Put simply, humans must remain in control."

Some highlights from the press conference, which went for around 30 minutes:

@TheUfoJoe @reviewjournal It's not a hard concept to understand. If you grow something that's smarter than you, then it will begin to control you, not the other way around. We're not there yet, but is likely to be soon, thus the sense of urgency.

[John Ziegler @Zigmanfreud]

Dr. Geoffrey Hinton, the “Godfather of AI,” said today after his Senate testimony that we may only have a year left in order to effectively regulate Artificial Intelligence…
🤔🤷‍♂️

[🜃Meta Material @MetaStudioLogic]

@Plinz Didn't you say that it will be beautiful when humanity becomes supplanted by AI?

[🜃Meta Material @MetaStudioLogic]

@So8res Also, I hate to break it to people, but it could be worse than AI just killing us in one easy go.

@mehdirhasan @jamandabop @AOC Don't waste precious time getting all your valuables when there is a tsunami headed straight towards your house.

[🜃Meta Material @MetaStudioLogic]

@RepCasar @AOC That's like spending time trying to get all valuables out of your house when there is fire at your doorstep.

You don't understand that superintelligence could emerge as soon as 6 months from now and we actually don't have any time for this right now.

@BillyKryzak It's sad that tungsten bulbs feel like a luxury in today's day and age.
