yes pretty clear that MIRI and some PR firms were involved, but it’s Coxon who took all the risk. doesn’t make a big difference to me

Yes spreading fear and paranoia that will lead to disastrous overregulation that hurts everyone is heroic 🫠
He’s just an awkward kid choosen by fate to be the great attactor. There’s a hint of hero’s journey..but it’s not for the human anymore is it.
Coxon accomplished nothing; a sophisticated PR campaign conducted by a large group that used him as a figurehead accomplished something.
Yeah he didn't even have an especially big twitter presence to start with. Imagine what would happen if...
I suspect this will be short lived. The flame is burning too hot, too quickly. I hope to be wrong, but this doesn’t seem like something that lasts.
Talked in depth about instrumental convergence with my wife. Didn’t think I’d ever have that convo.
I mean... having some billionaire astroturf his social presence, and almost certainly write that thread of his too, isn't really his accomplishment. it's the accomplishment of a clique of billionaires who would burn down any hope of curing disease and death in our time to get
Coxon accomplished. Yeah random dude who worked at Anthropic 6 weeks gets a multi page interview in the WSJ and tons of other trad media publicity. And 70 million likes, 48m from S Asia. They must really care about e-risk down in Karnataka.
I am not inspired, I'm worried. Ai is not the apocalypse, it's the path away from it. Stopping or pausing means more deaths, more human misery for a longer time. Acceleration is ethical.
I feel like these illustrations of datacenters from the episode are a wee bit inaccurate
Yah an intern can stir up fear... and people just drink it down... lol :)... We need positive campaigns for AI!!! Roon go on CNN right now...
Given it takes about a year or two to step on all the argumentative and epistemic landmines to get to a coherent position the sooner the public did this the better. It’s sad to see there are people who have had 3-4 years now and have gotten worse than nowhere.
I’m not sure giving preschoolers an illustrated copy of the Book of Revelation is such a great accomplishment
Next episode he’ll go right back to talking about whatever random celebrity drama those shows talk about. These people have not actually internalized it yet
he dumbed down the conversation overnight roon, you know have start writing /sarcasm after half of your posts or they will not be understood
Yeah! A bunch of baseless fearmongering bullshit with no basis in reality! And now government will be leveraged to destroy consumer freedom — all in the name of Anthropic’s IPO valuations! Yay!!! 😁 FUCK YOU, SCAMMER 🤬
How is it inspiring? Spreading half truths to the normies... this will have massive negative outcomes for any sort of societal progress. Why do you work in a.i. if youre gonna hamstring it at every turn?
Once all the normies are talking about existential risk you're going to wish they weren't. No problem was ever made better by including the everyday man and woman in it's discussion.
Coxon saying ai would replicate itself into everyone's computer, i sure hope it does, cant wait to run gpt 6 astra in my consumer computer.
Only two possibilities. 1. AI effort is neutered and killed. 2. People become numb to this debauchery because folks like Elon will be the first to accelerate recursive AI self improvement because he is the only one good enough to save consciousness.
I really doubt this is going to help, technically illiterate people have no clue how to think about these systems and neither do the top people in our government. Almost guaranteed to cause more harm than good
