Sasha, 100%. This is truly a diabolical psy-op where Anthropic is funding the "evaluators" and everyone else in the Doomer Camp. There’s big money in panic. There’s even bigger money in regulatory capture.
Give Democrats control of AI and it will turn out just as well as their handling of our retirement savings, health care, and educational systems.
Graphic Explainer: Who Profits When AI “Might Kill Us All”?
All part of the effort to fundamentally transform the republic into a nation that no one would defend. First, erase the high points of the history and replace with the low points of the history and make these the only history (1619 Project). Second, pervert the language ("It depends on what the meaning of 'is' is", "gestating person", "undocumented citizen", "woke", "non-practicing white person"). Third, contrive actions that create the perception of constant chaos and dysfunction (BLM - Summer of Love, J6, 2020 election, Russia collusion, mass border trespass & migration, etc.). Fourth, conduct an insurgency within the dominant institutions via woke cancellation and the popular political party, by killing it, wearing its skin, and demanding the party's coffers and the averted eyes and silence of those who know. Fifth... not sure. We'll know soon.
And before they offer their IPO. Someone explain it to me like I'm a 5th grader; how exactly will AI exterminate humanity? Hopefully the public is awake to all this Psyop BS by now. If not, humanity is already 'effed, AI or no AI.
Team Blue et al can't admit that the climate narrative has collapsed (ironically in no small part as announced by Bill Gates to make way for AI infrastructure), so they have to just swap in the next big "existential crisis" bogeyman: AI. Riding on Gen Z's hatred of AI (which is not unreasonable unto itself) as sure as the tides, the passions are flamed by the sensational party par excellence!
It certainly seems that Democrat fearmongering is 90% political and 10% based on reality. It's the same tactic they have used for years - Ozone Holes - Global Warming - Global Cooling - etc. Rham Emmanuel said it best "Never let a crisis go to waste." If there is no crisis, then they pick one out of thin air. Can you imagine the current stable of Democrats being in charge of this thing? It might need policing but that should come from the industry not political midwits.
The reality is not even the point. It is absurd to think there is anyone in government that can ride herd on computer scientists who are worth $hundreds of millions a year. Yes, AI has potential to cause great harm. I think we all knew that already (have watched enough sci-fi movies). It is up to the designers of code no one else will ever understand, to police themselves. We do not need theatrics to scare the public. Dario will be a hundred Billionaire soon. Certainly, to those with that kind of ability comes the responsibility to manage your own business, just like chemical plants or owners of nuclear reactors are expected to do. Yes, there are safety inspectors in those industries. But people within the industry pay for those inspectors and help write the safety rules (and I have been on an industry safety committee, so I know that process)
Holy shit, thanks Sasha. Of all the "you are going to die" panics, I had forgotten about Y2K. It has the same look and feel of the AI panic. I remember people seriously telling us, your car won't start on Jan 1st.
The Dems taking power and using regulatory powers coupled with the cooperation of like-minded individuals in tech to control AI, like they did with censorship and disinformation during the Biden Administration, is the single likeliest way that the AI future turns dystopian.
When the AI market leaders are asking Congress to write rules and to slow down development, you can be sure of two things:
1.The AI guys are burning cash
2.When the AI guys want Congress to write rules, they really mean THEY will graciously help out and write the rules themselves to, guess what, benefit themselves and create hurdles for any new competition. That's what market leaders do.
💯‼️ Dario and Sam are in complete control of their own systems and there’s absolutely nothing stopping THEM from slowing down any time they want without any need for govt interference if they’re genuinely so worried about it.
UNLESS of course, they want govt to protect them from competition. And govt will make sure they make them sign away their rights to them in the process while making sure to crush all competition. It’s a devils bargain and EVERYONE will lose as a result…except China.
That’s what this is all about.
No wonder the Democrats are all in on it, which should always be your first clue to anything that’s a really BAD IDEA.
Democrats always panic-monger because, as the party of government, they want the public to believe that everything is a crisis that only government can solve. Because Democrats are motivated by politics instead of reason, they whipsaw us. For example, telling us we should hug Chinese infected with COVID to prove we're not racists because COVID originated in a bat cave and is harmless. Then telling us they're placing us under house arrest to keep it from killing us. They are stupid, emotional people, with stupid ideas.
"AI" is merely an enhanced search engine that reads data from the Internet and internal databases and reprints it in a conversational way, the first generation of crude AI languages like LISP and SNOBOL attempted in the 1950s and 1960s.
The hysteria is designed, as you say, to put the Democrats in charge of it. All these hysteria fads have half lives. Whether its Russians stealing elections, climate change, foreign drones roaming the skies, or whatever, it is all calculated to induce panic, to get the people so agitated, they can't think straight in an election year.
Yes, they are trivial things in comparison to claiming AI programs are sentient entities with motives and purpose. LLM's are more akin to a TV screen that prints text. The TV screen shows you the world, but doesn't have any concept of what the electrons dancing on the screen are representing. Nor does AI.
It's also trivial that AI is solving mathematical problems that have remained unsolved for centuries, producing rigorous proofs for several long-standing mathematical conjectures, such as the Jacobian conjecture, disproof of the Erdős unit-distance conjecture, and several others.
That part of it is not trivial. I'm a paid subscriber to ChatGPT pro and use it for research into many subjects, including scientific questions on relativity theory. I've used it about 4 hours today, as I typically do every day. It provides information up to 100x times than I can manually search for it. That part of it is not trivial at all.
But I do not believe ChatGPT or any other AI has any insights human mathematicians and scientists haven't programmed into it, or that it has scanned on the Internet. Its answers are sometimes diametrically opposite when asked the same question twice. But as a repository of most or all information in the public domain on a subject, it has immense value in organizing the information and giving an answer either in synopsis or detail form.
In solving mathematical problems, it is using the principle of extremely fast repetition of algorithms humans have programmed it with. The same as all computer systems do. I am merely saying it is not a conscious entity with motive or purpose. You can ask your TV to show you any picture of anywhere in the world, or even in the known Universe, much faster than you can find it in a book, but that does not mean the TV has a mind of its own.
@Sasha.... Trump did not just "shrug off" COVID-19. I wished he had. I thought within the first weeks of March 2020 that the Dems were going to use COVID to make Trump look bad. The Dem leadership coerced Trump into doing very non-conservative things like shutting down the economy and schools and forcing face masks. I was not happy when Trump caved in to the Left. I did a lot of reading / research on COVID in February and early March that year and watched what was happening in Italy, the health stats, as well as Sweden. You could see early on that Sweden's approach of staying calm and keeping daily life on track was working. You could also see the over the top response in the rest of Europe was a failure. Italy had a lot of deaths, but it was among the elders and obese that are always at risk in a bad flu season, because flu can become pneumonia in people with weakened immune systems. We could also see the kids were almost totally unaffected, so why close schools (unless all the teachers were old and obese, maybe so). That COVID scare worked so well for the Dems to beat up Trump and wreck the economy which had been humming along, that they learned a new playbook for winning elections: Find some terrible national disaster and amplify it through your media friends. Panic Redux
However, it only took Trump a few weeks to shrug it off and if you remember, he had numerous rallies in which the left called us all disease spreaders. Same thing Hitler said about the Jews.
Yes, another scam. Politicians smell AI money and as Sasha says, so of course they want it all for themselves. Sooner or later all R&D funding would go through the Government meaning some Fauci-like bureaucrat who controls the purse strings for the next 40 years. Keep the Government away at all costs.
fear sells votes. the Dems would turn AI into the Ministry of Truth - they tried and failed once, they will keep trying until you get your mind right. Fuck them forever. The Republicans better get their asses in gear and get the vote out or we are in deep shit trouble - again!
I can’t understand how so many people can continue to fall for existential threats. And especially from these nerds. BTW it looks like Altman and Amodei are worried their companies can’t turn a high enough profit to justify there bloated valuations.
The reason the Democrats don't like AI is that it has been very successfully used to find all the nefarious NGO partners the Leftist/Democrats have been using to funnel money to their favorite laundering companies! The Dem's are broke because they have been thwarted by the Big Brains in the DOGE community! The new AI generated systems of checks and balances within the Federal Government's computer systems, can weed out the fraud and follow the Twister style banking circuit. The Dem's only know one way of making money, and that is to steal from the taxpayer to give to themselves and the immigrant communities that they purchase votes from.
Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey called on the federal government to address AI just yesterday. Which is funny, since whether the issue is arresting known criminal illegal aliens or cash for college for Massachusetts students, she has been a unified voice against federal government cooperation until now.

Excellent trurhs Jeff!
All of that sounds very DARVO.
Very similar.
Read Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals”, the Marxist playbook. This was taught to Barack Obama in Chicago by Alinsky. Obama is behind all of this
Doug! You may like the article I just wrote on this: total psyop and Doomer campaign. Good news is that no one is buying it: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/ai-could-destroy-humanity-so-why
A little too convenient for Dario to freak out 6 weeks before the election
Money talks.
Especially CCP money
And before they offer their IPO. Someone explain it to me like I'm a 5th grader; how exactly will AI exterminate humanity? Hopefully the public is awake to all this Psyop BS by now. If not, humanity is already 'effed, AI or no AI.
Yes, it’s a giant persuasion op. See also: https://www.effort.news/irregular

When Bernie and Hakeem joined the AI Danger Chorus, I knew it was just another coordinated media tempest. Fear is all they've got.

This should be every republican candidate slogan going into midterms and 2028.
Dumb like the Fox,,,they control the schools and the media, except for substack for the moment

It’s the new climate change.
YES,,,,,andthey will bring that back too if they get the house.
The new China Syndrome
Yup. As soon as the Left's fake god Obama started spewing warnings about AI, I concluded this is their latest scare tactic.
As if Obama has a clue about AI design

He should have taken the lead, instead of deferring to Fauci
Liberals love fear-porn. It sends a tingle up their leg
They can’t live without it. It’s a warm blanket that helps them sleep at night.
Thats so gross, but how can I deny it
And a yellow liquid down it.

She is a typical Democrat, passing the buck! She wants her constituents to think everything is Trumps fault.
