We’ve basically combined the Library of Alexandria and 4chan, thrown it into a cocktail mixer and it looks like we are on the way to agreeing that we’ll defer to whatever falls out.
so, you’ve got these models that spit out racism and sexism… and I guess insanity too and it’s really like a distilled status quo.
Power gets what it wants out of it predictable, math based evidence that reinforces the current state of power.
I feel like when we talk about AI, we’ve got to talk about the context of all that language, a world where racism and sexism were not only givens, but moral imperatives.
We’re not creating a god in AI, we’re doubling down on failing systems, calling it math magic psycho-history, and trying to pass it off as something that’s much better than it is.
but, the technology will get better, it’s not really unfeasible to think of it automating white collar jobs the way robots did manufacturing.

This reminds me of island birds that eventually adaptation-wise become flightless.
Humans are trying to anti-evolve. We are Dodo-ing ourselves.

The “AI” that these people are building is a fancy autocomplete. It’s not sentient and it can’t become anyone’s enemy. Please get out of the so-called “rationalist” cult.

I’ll believe it when they actually release something that’s not just ChatGPT.
Are you a rationalist?

You’re a member of a cult. The danger from AI is the environmental & economic damage that all the compute it uses is causing.

I say it’s a cult because their small amount of members have ridiculous beliefs and kill people over their absolute nonsense. I understand how machine learning works, and I’ve seen the outcomes. Go troll elsewhere.
