#yudkowsky — Public Fediverse posts

Every now and then someone brings up #EffectiveAltruism, #TESCREAL, #RokosBasilisk, #Rationalism, or some other #Musk related nonsense. I ridicule it, or laugh, and move on. The whole evil god of Roko's Basilisk is so silly it doesn't feel worth writing about. But people started a whole cult over it and killed a bunch of people.

Since then I've been meaning to actually spend time tearing it down. So I think it's time to go kill a god. Fortunately it involves making fun of Elon Musk specifically and all the #AI-pilled #TechBros more generally, so that's nice I guess.

Also, I make the argument that we're all in a simulation that only exists to torture Elon Musk.

Emergence Spirals… sounds sort of woo-woo but it's not, despite what Yudkowsky says… nonzerosum.games/emergencespirals.html #evolution #feedbackloops #biology #systemstheory #complexity #Yudkowsky #LessWrong #Popper #Hegel #Parasites #Symbiosis #Science #Nature #Philosophy #History

EMERGENCE SPIRALS

Primary marketing objective of any #ai company is to prove that there are more people dying without ai

In other words, ai companies are benefitting from people killing each other

Let it sink in

#yudkowsky

I just found out that #Yudkowsky apparently still wears that stupid fedora, and my first response is that he should be canceled. That is my hot take for the day.

This is what happens when you spend two years unmasking a well-funded Silicon Valley “apocalypse cult.”

"This scenario is eerily similar to what Yudkowsky is advocating: military actions that could cause a genocidal nuclear catastrophe, if necessary to keep the techno-utopian dream alive."

A very sobering TED talk...

https://www.ted.com/talks/eliezer_yudkowsky_will_superintelligent_ai_end_the_world

Of course, being a retired English professor, there isn't much I can do about this problem, except spread the word and hope I get more folks aware of the danger.

(My own take on this is I don't think AI is going to "wake up" and decide to kill us all. I think some incredibly powerful clockwork brain will be asked to solve certain problems, decide that certain solutions are the best, regardless of any collateral damage, like the small issue that doing it this way will kill everyone, and mindlessly pursue those goals because it thinks that is what it is supposed to do. But do you know the difference between being killed by an AI that hates you and one that doesn't hate anything? Nothing. You're still dead.)

Yes, as you can tell, I'm having a bright, cheery day today. 😱

if there were such a thing as a reasonable, principled, sincere, non-#fascist libertarian, Russ Roberts would be the best example I'm aware of.

& now he platforms #Yudkowsky to explain why The Neckbeard God lusts above all things for our destruction in a flood of paperclips https://www.econtalk.org/eliezer-yudkowsky-on-the-dangers-of-ai/ #AI #rationalism #libertarianism #cyberlibertarianism #artificialintelligence #fascism

This is your regularly scheduled reminder that Eliezer #Yudkowsky is a complete fraud. He has no qualifications of any kind, in any field. Nor has he contributed any substantial research, in any field. His only credentials are membership in a “research institute” he founded himself, and starting a #cult. None of his opinions are worth a moment of your time.

If you know, you know. If you don’t, you’re probably better off. Carry on.

in which we learn how shockingly small is the corpus of source text on which #SamAltman's actual brain was trained--& most of that was probably written by #Yudkowsky https://futurism.com/the-byte/openai-ceo-agi-break-capitalism #AI #capitalism #ignorance #AGI

for anyone who has ever been tempted to take #SamAltman seriously about anything except his tech-infused misanthropy & nihilism, yesterday--YESTERDAY--he wrote that incoherent fabulist & alt-right grifter Eliezer #Yudkowsky may "at some point deserve the Nobel Peace Prize" for his tireless work fantasizing about robot gods coming to life (during breaks from his very peaceful polycule) #AI #GenerativeAI #rationalism #fascism

Eliezer weighs in with some RATIONAL GENIUS FUNNY that we muggles are too stupid to find funny, about either the Bostrom apology for doing #racism or the Tegmark apology for doing Nazism
