@Aella_Girl Strawman, no one is saying he's not genuine. Everyone is saying it was purposely coordinated and promted for maximum effect by people with an agenda.

@Dan_Jeffries1 But if you had seen what only they can see you would be terrified!!! 😂 Sponsored by TrustMeBro inc. 😂 these people are clowns!

[The Arkitect @the_arkitectai]

People need to start paying attention to the manipulation going on.

[Daniel Jeffries @Dan_Jeffries1]

It's time to call these end-of-the-world anti-AI messaging groups exactly what they are:

Terror cells

- They funnel and wash money from a few donors to smaller groups to obscure origin

- insert sleeper cells into orgs (the best recent example is Jacob, the young man who quit yesterday and created a social media firestorm, has practically no resume and took 20K from these groups while working at Anthropic. He quit this company, which is probably the most dedicated safety AI group in the world, while calling it "dangerous" with a straight face, for a grand total two month, had no social following and suddenly gets retweeted to 100M views by various cells working together behind the scenes to pump and promote and manipulate the public and regulators.)

- these groups produce streams of propaganda designed to terrify the populace, such as reports, push polls, articles in magazines and newspapers, podcasts, as well as direct funding of videos deliberately designed to terrorize children about AI in YouTube

- pay influencers to produce anti-AI terror messaging

- Inspire and produce splinter cells, like the Zizians, a cult splinter group from the San Francisco Bay Area rationalist community, that committed a double homicide in Pennsylvania, knife attacked several people in California, and a got in a shootout with a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Vermont

- they openly call for violence on social media and in private groups with calls for "Butelarian Jihad" a reference to Dune which took its inspiration from the violent Arab uprisings and holy wars

- act quasi-independely but coordinate attacks

- use timed campaigns to manipulate social media

- one of its members threw a firebomb at Sam Altman's house in an attempted murder

- another shot up a judge's house because he voted in favor of a data center

- several of its members call openly for more violence on social media

In a time when many people are looking at these folks as if they're exposing real risk instead of what it actually is, which is a delusional, nonsensical, imaginary risk, it's time to get clear about where these fake risks are coming from and why.

The burden of proof for proving that a technology currently used by billions of people happily, with practically no serious incidents (by comparison lawn mowers are a bigger menace to society), should be on them.

They need to provide more than bald and bold assertions with no supporting evidence for their claims.

It should be very clear that this terror campaign is not organic and if you're an actually rational and clear thinking person, it should make you seriously question the origin and nature of these groups and what they have to say and the policies they propose.

We must not let terror cells corrupt and manipulate the American public and legal system with coordinated terror campaigns.

@architdhamija_ @beffjezos That's the All in Podcast.

[@jason @Jason]

These pdoom posts are like Steve Jobs telling you that the iPhone was going to result in eating disorders, political unrest, mass depression, anxiety and suicide during the debut keynote — and you can buy them in one of four playful colors!

[The Arkitect @the_arkitectai]

@AndrewYang Of course we need the government to help! They don't understand the technology at all, and they can't even properly budget with $5 trillion, but we need them to regulate the scary ai.

[The Arkitect @the_arkitectai]

I couldn't agree more.

[Daniel Jeffries @Dan_Jeffries1]

Not only I am tired of these wild AI speculations of impeding doom from self important people:

I resent them.

I actively resent people proposing to crash the economy or proposing authoritarian control over my life and other people's lives with idiotic and dangerous ideas like chip control or bans or tracking researchers.

Every idiot in history who's taken the approach of "the ends justify the means" to solve an imaginary future disaster created the very disaster they wanted to stop.

See Population Bomb leading to the one child policy and Communism leading to Mao's mass famines and Fascism leading to the death of tens of millions of people and war.

These solutions are evil and worse than any disease that they propose to solve.

It you believe you can actually predict the end of the world then you are as insane as the Heaven's Gate cult that killed themselves in the 90s thinking UFOs were coming to transcend them.

Not only should we not take your policies and fear mongering seriously, we should actively throw out any and all of your proposed solutions because they come from a place of delusion.

I don't give a shit that you work in the industry or think you saw something or that you want to virtue signal on X. You are actively contributing to a horrible future based on baseless speculation that has no grounding in reality.

Don't confuse expertise in a domain with ability to predict impact of that domain or frankly to make predictions a decade out better than a dart throwing monkey.

They are orthagonal skills.

How's Hinton's "we don't need to train Radiologists anymore" working out? How did the Population Bomb work out? The global cooling second ice age? Peak oil?

Just because someone is a bridge engineer does not mean they can predict the impact of bridges on society or that they have any actually useful insight at all on the complex, ever changing system called life.

There are people dying in wars right now. Children starving. Homelessness. Dictatorships.

In short, real problems. And we're supposed to drop everything to stop a made up problem in your head?

Pound sand.

We don't care. And we are not going to remake society based on you scary monsters under the bed delusion.

[The Arkitect @the_arkitectai]

@CBHeresy You know these things require constant access to inference right? You know this can be monitored right?

[The Arkitect @the_arkitectai]

@MattWalshBlog Stay in your lane Walsh. These are liberals causing a fake panic is all you need to know.

[The Arkitect @the_arkitectai]

@Jason @niitn Doesn't anthropic's servers go down once a day anyway? Swarm has a short life span!

[The Arkitect @the_arkitectai]

@theo I just think he's stone cold wrong.

[The Arkitect @the_arkitectai]

Aren’t these the same guys who said we’d all be jobless by now?

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

Anthropic’s Economics team is sharing a new model of how AI might affect economic growth, jobs, wages, and more by 2030.

Explore the scenarios, tell us what you think will happen, and see how your answers compare to more than 10,000 Americans. https://t.co/AvQlEZNxR0

[The Arkitect @the_arkitectai]

@0xBOYD @dhh Makes sense, who’s gonna build it then?

[The Arkitect @the_arkitectai]

@EvanHub Or, you all are a bunch of retards getting high on your own supply. You guys aren’t creating a god, we already have one ☝️. It’s fucking software, learn how to secure your shit and we’ll be fine. And stop crying like a bunch of children, it embarrassing.

[The Arkitect @the_arkitectai]

@shai_reznik Developers, developers, developers…. Errr … Engineers, engineers, engineers!

[The Arkitect @the_arkitectai]

@skdh That basic security norms weren’t followed but they blamed it on the model being too advanced?

[The Arkitect @the_arkitectai]

@greatbong Ai has fundamentally changed the way I use computers in a way the Internet and smartphones didn't even touch. I trust my eyes over your PhD.

[The Arkitect @the_arkitectai]

@Skoorbkaz I'll skip the phrase then. I don't take you seriously if you haven't taken enough time to think through why your claim is absurd.

[The Arkitect @the_arkitectai]

@theo I don't even bother with memory systems anymore. Everything exists in git and my sessions within each repo are seamless. In @t3dotcodes of course 😁
