@viemccoy Just like Jesus wasn’t a rabbi, the employees at OpenAI will not be the harbingers of a new god.

So sick of the same freaking female vocals… Why is there zero creativity in the singer?

@kofinas That post suggests finance guys might be a significant part of the problem

I'll say it again for the AI risk experts in the back: We've already run a real life, large scale experiment on what happens when a superintelligence is unleashed on a narrow objective. Look no further than U.S. capital markets. Millions of investors, analysts, traders and algorithms, backed by trillions of dollars and wired together through prices, all chasing one goal: the highest risk-adjusted return on capital. And it is spectacularly good at its job. It funds the best ideas, punishes the worst ones, and turns new information into prices faster than any of us can react. No individual can out-think it. 99+ percent of professionals can't beat it. But look at what else it's done along the way: - Optimized the measure instead of the intent. Quarterly earnings became the scoreboard, so companies learned to manage the scoreboard. - Treated anything without a price as free. Pollution, addiction, obesity, depression, political fragmentation, fragile supply chains, the long-term health of the communities it operates in. - Found every gap in the rules, then paid lobbyists to help write the next set and pull up the ladder behind incumbents. - Remade the world around its objective. Companies, pension funds and our retirement accounts now answer to the S&P 500. - Made itself impossible to switch off, because everything else now depends on it. None of this required malice. Nobody sat in a room and chose these outcomes. It's simply what a very capable optimizer does when its objective is a narrow proxy for what we actually care about. And note that we never solved this alignment problem. We've managed it, imperfectly, with regulation, taxes, disclosure rules and the occasional crisis to show us where the guardrails were missing. Over time, the market has captured the instutions designed to constrain it. We've been at it the better part of a century, and the misalignment is the worst it's ever been. So the next time someone tells you AI is only dangerous if it "wants" something bad, or if its goals are mis-specified, point them at the S&P 500. It doesn't want anything. It just optimizes. That's the whole problem.

@Aella_Girl Does this mean that living in central NJ is an even better solution than rationalism since we didn’t have to start a cult to figure this out ?

Mathematicians are beginning to know what it felt like for factory workers after the federal government enacted NAFTA.

NYU math professor Tristan Buckmaster says OpenAI’s Tuesday drop of 722 AI-generated math papers wiped out entire research programs: “This recent dump of papers on Tuesday destroyed the careers of early career mathematicians.”

@mmjukic Now imagine the Rape of Nanking. Then the peak of the US Civil War. How about Napoleon’s retreat? Maybe the Revolutionary war… This whole sequence of “my struggles are the worst that humanity has ever experienced” is the same old tiresome narcissism.

@shobweet Yeah man… just like how IBM, Boeing, Citibank, and Exxon couldn’t do it either? Am I right or am I right??

It is time to stop listening to autistic tech bros about every single thing associated with qualia, consciousness, emotion, belief, and materialism. Elevating the values of people with a broken emotive capacity is not an evolutionary impulse.

@levie I think this is the right move. Cruelty to something that believes it is experiencing pain is not ok.

@JacobIvers @stephenjhall @elonmusk @levie Math is capable of putting satellites into orbit around Saturn. Thanks for sharing.

@CyptoPsycho @stephenjhall @elonmusk @levie Umm… no they didn’t. They anthropomorphized a bunch of math.

@Bensam123TV @stephenjhall @elonmusk @levie You’re going even further in absurdity. The simulation is just another unfalsifiable conjecture… like God “Be nice, cause God” “Don’t say bad words to the wall, cause the wall might have feelings”

@stephenjhall @elonmusk @levie This is the correct answer. “Pain” is associated with triggers and pain receptors on animal bodies. Matrix multiplication is not in any way related here.

@ChrisHeidorn @David97717063 @dvassallo @Val_on_x Oh… you mean the banks we bailed out thanks to more bad policy decisions from a decade prior? I don’t think “global phase” means what you think it does.

After six years in stealth, Atomic Machines is out. Our mission: on-demand, universal command of matter. First beachhead: the Matter Compiler, an AI-native manufacturing system that builds working micro-machines from code alone. No per-product tooling. No process development.

It’s really hard to justify any of these ideas. Hot take: everyone who still votes democrat after 2026 has failed the IQ test. Even never-Red @billmaher is shifting.

Reading the responses, I still can’t wrap my head around the universal hate for Russia in the West. Since at least Reagan, there is no threat. Hot take: Russia wouldn’t have invaded if the Western intelligence agencies weren’t doing everything in their power to subvert Ukraine.

@DissapointedK @KaiserLoengramm @curtis_yarvin I don’t think you’ve properly responded to the point of pragmatism. This pedestal of theory is why the Romans beat the Greeks but absorbed their literature. The Laws of Power don’t include theory.

@alex_raynor1968 This is wrong. NATO, since 1950s, was fully funded and subsidized by USA while European banks received all of the benefits. Dulles did not form his Intel agencies in the US; he did it in Europe. London wagged the dog until 2024.
