Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

So the news is now filled with stories about how AI will take over and the Ai companies might lose control of it gets smarter and at least one employee quit because it might kill us all. You know what I seem to be missing?
Actual employees doing sabotage. That is a bit odd right? They think Altman doesnt care about safety, but nobody has tried to wipe the backups. And we know they dont think that much about security.
And it isnt like sysadmins messed with systems in the past over lesser disputes.
Not even a "im turning whistleblower, here are all the internal chatlogs and documents of the employees and management".
I'm reminded of Yudkowsky's take that AI is totally going to kill us all and we should treat this seriously enough to bomb foreign datacenters if we think they're involved in AI development, but that doesn't mean that you should try to bomb local datacenters involved in AI development work. Please don't think about what you as an individual should do about the problems facing the world; you're just an NPC after all.
Yud isn't necessarily inconsistent here: he really really wants the robot god to become real so it can invent the blowjob machine and win utilitarianism, but he only trusts people he's met personally to do it, and certainly not those shifty celestials.
Or as the AI2027 blog put it:
God that blog is so hysterical. “Please remain calm and Rational even though we’re telling you that AI companies are going to kill you”
