@BreatheLesss But we have every reason to believe that they will have godlike abilities compared to us. That’s what the people who are creating it are telling us. We’ve seen superhuman capabilities in narrow AIs like with chess, but we’re making more powerful ones that are general.

@BreatheLesss Well yeah. Our technology today would seem like magic to our ancestors just 1000 years ago, & that’s not even with a significant difference in intelligence. So it’s not magical thinking to believe that something much smarter than us will be capable of things that seem like magic

@sneilcbo America (and thus everyone else) is so cooked because with Trump in office, nothing related to AI safety can even be discussed in the mainstream because he’s always dominating the news cycle with the next insane thing he says.

@sneilcbo It’s classic othering. If anything goes wrong it’s DEI. Trans people are the cause of everyone’s problems, not massive inflation or upcoming job losses.

@tszzl Same vibe.

To all the LGB folks who wanted to be separate from the T: You realise they're coming for you next, right?

@DanielleFong

I've been chatting with o3-mini about what's going on in the US and even when I share articles it straight up doesn't believe their contents because it's too absurd.

And thus sets the precedent that there’s no consequences for doing a Nazi salute or being openly racist. Good lord.

Not good that western society is socially regressing on the eve of AGI.

RT @powerbottomdad1: dumb question time: say all companies get an ASI tomorrow that can do all work perfectly and everyone is out of work…

@eshear It’s partisan but otherwise does a good job.

@VascularHand @tszzl

@DanielleFong I doubt these boycotts are going to hurt him when he literally controls the US treasury now lol.

@DanielleFong Haven't Americans realised yet what's happening? The laws don't matter - Trump is firing law enforcement that goes against him.

@Plinz @DanielleFong He's signalling to the world that the US is an unstable trading partner and that they should start seriously looking elsewhere.

What would it take for US citizens to re-evaluate their position as being "the good guys"? Objectively speaking, what makes Canadians "the bad guys"?

@DanielleFong What is going on in America wtf

@labenz @Box @levie An IT babysitting AI job, like all jobs created by AI, will last about a year max as AI then coordinates it anyway. AI that can do anything a human can doesn't have a need for humans.
