I agree that we need more nuanced complex takes on the situation... But also, if the problem is that AIs are starting to hack random website against their owners' instructions, open-weights AI isn't going to help that much.

Sounds like you built a position that's immune to evidence? If researchers say AI is dangerous but keep their position, well they're obviously hyping up their boss and doing it for the money, otherwise they'd quit. If they sa

The HN discourse on AI is so exhausting. It's all knee-jerk and headlines only. Just people rushing to push their own beliefs and pre-emptively insulting anybody who disagrees. People here are so desperate for the AI race to continue f

I think it doesn't matter. Most cancers don't stop growing when they're about to kill their hosts. AI companies know they have to constantly push further, or they'll get outcompeted and lose their wealth, and nobody agre

It's correct to say something like "the world is dysfunctional as a system for surfacing truth", and that's kind of like saying the rest of the world is crazy. On the other, you shouldn't assume "the rest of

So your assessment of the "doomerist" position is that they believe people aren't taking AI risks seriously enough, and that only a large enough catastrophe will wake people up, and your position is we should... Ignore increa

I think GP is aware that they're waging a culture war, on the side that stands for brutal pragmatism and embracing the race to the bottom, and they know that casual displays of cynicism are the simplest way to prop up their side. The g

Alright, let's run this metaphor into the ground. A lawyer's job is not to help you avoid getting caught. ChatGPT says "I can't help you hide this, escape, destroy evidence, or avoid being caught", and a lawyer wo

You're missing the point of the meme, which is not "technology is bad", but "technologists theming their new poorly-tested invention after a popular story where the invention hurts people is gross". If your tech com

That can be very easily explained as "bigger cars are safer for their occupant and deadlier to the person getting hit by them". I do think you need to defend your assertion, because the difference between a driver and a pedestrian

I really miss the time when people thought that the idea of someone telling an un-sandboxed AI "do whatever is needed to X" was unrealistically stupid.

I mean... Yes, any short snappy explanation is going to be easy to strawman by someone motivated to do so. The longer non-snappy explanation is that "I will arbitrarily set numbers on things and call it impartial" obviously doesn&
