One important thing to understand about many 'AI leaders' like this, is that they know less than nothing about the evolution of human intelligence.

Could a young woman like this ever become a good wife and a good mother to four kids? . (I'm genuinely curious what you all think; I'm not sure.).

The goal is for the AI industry to ruin all existing forms of K-12 & higher education, and then to swoop in with 'customizable AI tutors' that can indoctrinate all young people into Bay Area secular, globalist, leftist, 'transhumanist' values.

My 11yo just had ChatGPT do his homework. I’m pretty sure the assignment was itself AI generated. Dollars to donuts it will be AI graded. What is even the goal here?.

Hot take:.If a political terrorist does a mass shooting, using gun magazines covered in political messages, after recording a political manifesto on video, then it's not 'politicizing a tragedy' to discuss the political motives and goals of his terrorist act.

My politics now are basically:. It's good when @elonmusk & @SpaceX build starships so humans can explore the cosmos. It's bad when @elonmusk & @xai try to build Artificial Superintelligence so humans can be replaced before we explore the cosmos.

Regarding religion and AI:. What are the most insightful & provocative things that religious leaders from Jewish, Catholic, & Protestant faiths have written about the pros, cons, and risks of advanced AI?. Any links to good sources would be appreciated!.

Bay Area 'Rationalists': .- We're probably living in a huge Simulation, designed by unknown hyper-intelligent agents.- Human altruism is severely handicapped by our cognitive biases, moral blindspots, and tribalism.- To overcome our human limitations, we must develop Artificial.

Regarding the massive failure of the 'Cracker Barrel' re-branding:. One key thing to understand about marketing executives, market researchers, advertising agency staff, etc is that they tend to be young, female, left-leaning, high-openness, non-religious, often childless

I'll be recording an interview with @GadSaad next week for his podcast 'The Saad Truth'. We're aiming to talk mostly about the state of modern mating, courtship, reproduction, and dating apps. Any specific issues, topics, or questions you'd like us to address?.

'We have no idea how to control Artificial Superintelligence, but it's crucial that we build it before China does'. 'We have no idea how to control Godzilla, but it's crucial that we awaken him before China does'. Same argument. Same folly. Same hubris.
