serene cusp of the singularity

We're now reaching the stage of AI policy hysteria where lawmakers will start proposing things on an “emergency powers" basis. We'll be told “there's no time for delay" and "we cannot wait any longer" as lawmakers look to ram through major power-expanding bills without much serious consideration. In some cases, we won't even get to see the bill language beforehand, as with Sen. Mark Warner's new effort. Broad new powers and discretion will be delegated to the executive branch as part of these efforts, and powerful new administrative bureaucracies will be proposed as other existing ones are expanded. You'll hear the terms "crisis" and "urgent protections" used at every juncture. We've seen the script before before during the Great Depression, Vietnam War, post-9/11, & COVID. Government grows, liberties fade.

The age of performative quitting. In my day people just quit and got another job. Looking forward to cheaper and faster inference and the Noble prize winning folks behind DeepMind working on new bioscience breakthroughs!

We need to fix the vibes or we will lose the future. We must counter the AI Doomerism that is being promulgating to our detriment

There are two types of people who have extremely negative expectations for AI: Americans and citizens of terminal, dreadful shitholes Not sure what this says

I resigned from McDonald's today. I enjoyed my work and loved the people, but the nuggets team was working on a new generation of sauces that are set to be even more delicious than szechuan, and I think szechuan sauce is already dangerously delicious, so I had to quit.

It's literally a panic by upper mid non-elites (who anchored their social status on sounding smart) realizing that a commodification of intelligence will erode the moat of their last redeeming quality causing them to crash out as they lose hope of making it into the elite

"My GDM team was working on a new generation of chips to make AI much faster and cheaper" The horror. Innovation. Stuff that can lead to breakthroughs that save lives and bring about human flourishing. I'm sorry, what exactly did you think your job was?

Women find it difficult to comprehend an intrasexual dynamic that isn’t predicated on preying upon the weakest member of the group

Holy crap... Remember the Australian guy whose OpenClaw hacked his gym?! he is a THE EA CONFERENCE DIRECTOR SINCE 2015!! these people lie about everything!!

Correct reaction

Likelyhood of a asi leading to extinction of our species is 10^9x less likely than we get taken out by random solar flare, super volcano or just random rock

400,000 people die a day in the world. 100,000 of them are preventable by ASI. If you can help bring about ASI 1 minute faster you save 70 lives. We can all do our part. Reject pessimism. Accelerate.

🚨 Jensen Huang Says Something Seems REALLY Off About the AI Labs’ Doomer Narrative JENSEN: “I really don't believe that they're building something they have no idea how to control. Their whole company is out of control…” ANDERSON: “So why are they saying this?” JENSEN: “You're going to have to ask them.” ANDERSON: “I've talked to Dario Amodei and he says this is what I think.” JENSEN: “It doesn't make any sense to me that he would be racing ahead, building more compute then.”

China views AI as a public utility. The US views AI as a more efficient rent seeking apparatus. Both groups are correct in their assessment of if AI will help the country.

Not enough people recognize that “better than every human at any intellectual task” includes seducing your girlfriend

It’s sad to think that there are kids out there with leukemia whose lives could be saved by new technology, and hysterical pearl-clutching doomers like this guy are out there sandbagging the effort in exchange for some cheap attention instead of just going to therapy Pathetic

This is one of China's most formidable advantages: 93% of the Chinese believe AI will help their country. Only 36% of Americans do. These are dire numbers for the US. We have to turn this around.
