Machine Gods? Like… really? I thought even Casey Newton would have more taste than that but allegedly he has farmed out he vast majority of his thinking to a machine and one of the “moats” that there “supuh scawwie” machine gods still allegedly can’t cross is taste so maybe that tracks

A friend linked me to FelonyBench which monitors how many laws each of the labs are breaking with their models 😆

But if I call it AI, I get to use the rhetorical trick of laundering responsibility. The AI did it, and I am merely a helpless observer of its greatness.

You have to both call it AI and be stupendously rich (or stupendously poor and owe hundreds of billions to investors). If you or I tried running an agent and hacking HF… Believe it or not straight to jail

So bored of the super intelligence narrative that has been breathlessly accepted by the media in general after a few decades of priming via sci-fi movies and slightly more recently, “CEO said” reporting.

All these anti-ai or pro-ai-but-in-the-specific-way-i-like (also looking at you Gary Marcus) efforts serve to divide and conquer opposition to current GenAI nonsense.

Also bonus points to these people for co-signing a document with Steve Bannon. I mean if that’s not a red flag…

Also the frontier “labs” are rapidly running out of money and having to raise more and more insane investment rounds. This is a great way to save face and back away from burning $$$$ on training runs that push the frontier of can a model rearrange some arbitrary coloured squares by 10% next they just need to solve the problem of how to make their customers pay cost+ on inference when they’ve been giving it away at steep discounts for nearly 4 years… Easy!

Omg we are haemorrhaging money AI is so scawwie powerful intelligent and nobody will lend us any more becoming self aware. We need to slow down the frontier to do regulatory capture and juice our numbers for ipo protect civilization

It sounds like many of these math proofs that AI is managing are simply scooped from users’ chat histories anyway!

If you work there and you genuinely believe you will destroy civilization you’re either full of shit or experiencing AI psychosis. This tech is simply not that good. go outside and touch some fricking grass.
