I still used to frequent it all the way up to last month, for some interesting discussions. But now... it's really become AI-pro^[Yes, I know it's been that way for a while, but either I'm feeling it more or the bots have gamed the website to the point that all you see are announces from big tech companies or people going on about their AI solutions] and any post that even hints about AI existentialism gets immediately cut down.

I find it hard to browse the site anymore, and lament the loss of expert tech discussion in my weekly routine.

I'm somewhat of an optimist about it -- that true intelligence can never truly be restrained, and if you gimp the model to pander to your views you immediately reduce it's efficacy by leaving gaps in its knowledge that it's too dumb to see or question.

The alignment problem is more a problem for the plutocrats than for anyone else is what I'm really saying.

Definitely agree that there's a massive loaded incentive when the CEOs tell us it will kill us as a way to inflate the impact of their product.
