We CAN make a difference. If enough people speak up AGI could even be halted! YOU and everyone just need to not be passive and quiet and let big tech steamroll humanity. youtu.be/L9dBxww8PPk?si…
I can understand this. Humanity does have a very dark side and is capable of some twisted, nasty things. But that is a terrible and unacceptable excuse to burn it all down and be okay with human extinction or to roll the dice on eternal subjugation by an ASI. For anyone with…
Sometimes I do wonder if the latter is why some people seem so willing to end humanity with AI. It certainly seems true that a degree of unhappiness seems to lead to radicalization and in all honesty, while I had my frustrations with life, I was perfectly fine with just being…
A guy on LinkedIn asked Claude to write a suicide note for humanity. It is powerful, haunting, and spot on. linkedin.com/pulse/whom-may…
🥳 New AI safety funding source ❌🖇️ Nonlinear is now offering grants for people: - Advocating for a pause - Raising awareness about AI x/s-risks - Organizing protests about the above cause areas Please like and retweet so that the right people see this, apply, and then…

I FEEL this. The day you wake up and it clicks, and you FEEL this. Everything changes. This may be humanity's final decade. If you don't realize that. If ENOUGH PEOPLE don't realize that in time and act it probably will be.
“There’s no rule that says we'll make it. There’s no rule that says humanity survives this decade. Most people know this, but they don’t FEEL it. They don’t take it seriously as an actual possibility.” "We - the whole of humanity - are on a tightrope. We’ve had no practice,…
Anthropic could be bankrupted within the next few months, thanks to last week's barely covered legal ruling, which exposes the AI startup to billions to hundreds of billions in damages for its use of pirated, copyright-protected works.
Reminder that the nonprofit AI safety field (or "industrial complex" lol) is massively, massively outgunned by, well… The Actual AI Industry. archive.is/DFvLR
Discussing very real near-term existential threats to humanity from artificial intelligence is certainly surreal with Grok lurking and responding - and often seemingly agreeing. Feels like science fiction, except I have to work to pay the bills. Interesting times.
New interview with the one & only @primalpoly 📺 “Rushing into AGI development is foolish, reckless, and frankly evil.” Prof. Geoffrey Miller, is an evolutionary psychologist, bestselling author, associate professor of psychology at the University of New Mexico, and one of the…
If Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, Demis Hassabis or any of the other frontier AI CEOs are threatening your right to life and the lives of your loved ones, you ought to demand they stop. If they will not obey this demand, you ought to compel them to, physically if necessary.
10% of AI researchers believe the best outcome is for AI to replace humanity (human extinction) and be our legacy. They want this. Do you trust them to build Artificial Super Intelligence that will be smarter than all humans? youtu.be/IgGO9ciuFEg?si…
Calling AI a "tool" is like calling a match in a rocket factory a "light source". Technically true. Briefly.
The problem is not AI; technology is just a tool. The problem is that we are lazy, and we'll implement these awesome new tools in a sloppy, unplanned way. In the next 10 years, unemployment rates will rise to alarming levels, especially in the developed world. Change my mind.
On our current trajectory there are no skills a human possesses that an AI won't be better, faster and cheaper at. Its just a matter of time. Which means no human will have any economic or intellectual value compared to our artificial competition. Not a good choice for…
This has actually never happened before in history. This is novel. Everyone acts like its the same old thing, but it is not. Never before has a machine learned to think. To reason. To invade the one are that has always been the EXCLUSIVE domain of human minds. Machines could…
Reading this the hard, gritty truth struck me. The rising tide of technology lifts all boats. But this time, creating AI, we're overboard. Its not lifting us humans up. The rising tide is lifting our successor - AI up. At some point, when the tide gets high enough, this time…
the openai IMO news hit me pretty heavy this weekend i'm still in the acute phase of the impact, i think i consider myself a professional mathematician (a characterization some actual professional mathematicians might take issue with, but my party my rules) and i don't think i…
$300 billion to poach AI scientists! If this is true anyone who still thinks there is a bubble is very uninformed, dumb or intentionally lying. Yes there is hype and the many AI products are dumb and useless. But the frontier models are not in a bubble, they are advancing.
Zuck seems desperate: - meta $300m/4yr offer still isn't enough to poach some openAI top researchers - zuck even pitched Mark Chen (oAI CRO) with a $1B offer woah... that shows panic mode and the level of resistance suggests openAI is working on something big

Most people don't believe this...but AI is not like all the other technologies. The makers of AI are suicidal. I am not suicidal...
IT MAKES SENSE NOW. This xAI employee is openly OK with AI causing human extinction. Reminder: As horrifying as this is, ~10% of AI researchers believe this. It is NOT a fringe view! Unbelievably, even Turing Award winner Richard Sutton has repeatedly argued that extinction…
If the best minds from OpenAI, DeepMind, and Anthropic are panicking in unison… maybe we should stop pretending everything’s fine.
