I'm finally on Blue Sky. https://t.co/60q64OZev8. Seems like more and more people are there rather than here. And with Elmo's impending power explosion, who knows what's gonna happen here. LMK what your profile is there so I can follow you there.

The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and Human Security feels called to point out that former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton’s recent remarks at the Israel Hayom Summit on 2 December amount to outright genocide denial. During her remarks, the Secretary correctly noted

12/ From there the emails move into open fantasising about mass death. Bach floats the idea that climate change could be “a good way of dealing with overpopulation… the earth’s forest fire… a good thing for the species”.

11/ Next he stereotypes whole populations – Chinese people as obsessively deferential to authority, Jews as uniquely intellectually independent – then speculates about “genetic switches” that could “make blacks smarter” by altering brain development.

I spoke to @404mediaco as to why it was concerning for the US DOE to take the position of using generative AI for safety cases and licensing at the IAEA symposium, while also advocating for eliminating human intervention during normal nuclear operations. https://t.co/3DV3RQIVa1

Corporations/startups have vested interest to exaggerate the capabilities & future potential of their artificial intelligence (AI) products/services in order to sell them. There was no one selling fire so fire was not overhyped. Why is it so hard to understand?

i really don’t get people who think AI is overhyped it’s like thinking that fire was overhyped ~200000 years ago I’d get it if you were a monkey, but you’re living through the birth of the most powerful technology in human history. it CANNOT be overhyped

Israelis raped a child they imprisoned. IOF soldiers then labelled the organisation investigating the crime as a “terrorist entity.” Israel is the rape capital of the world.

Truly such a sad time for these eugenicists who keep on being “taken out of context”, not like he’s been spelling out the same thing with other words over and over. Such a victim.

I thought the whole "effective altruism" thing was quantifying everything lol. But early on I knew all they did was pull numbers out of their asses to justify their decisions and talk about being "rational."

One of the funniest things he said was that if you ask him when this whole AGI thing will happen, he'll say he doesn't know. BUT "if you insist on measurement" you'll end up with these problems that you won't work on because you can't measure then,

Friends the MOST important thing to work on to save the world is "hostile AI vs friendly AI" thing "The biggest 0 to 1 thing is generalized AI". "It will change the world in ways that are "more radical than we can imagine."

I have the displeasure of watching Peter Thiel's keynote at the 2013 "Effective Altruism (EA) Summit". I too didn't understand what Thiel & "altruism" have to do with each other, but made sense after I knew that EAs are super effective at the opposite. https://t.co/f95e91a8nr
