As @segyges.bsky.social notes, here’s famed rationalist and AI doomer Eliezer Yudkowsky - who’s advising @sanders.senate.gov on AI and who is in a recent Netflix documentary - claiming that AI extinction risk is SO bad that it’s worth risking nuclear war. Which is *nuts*. time.com/6266923/ai-e...

I genuinely feel bad for Eliezer Yudkowsky and his partner over the very real terror they seem to feel about AI killing us all - but these are not well people and they need therapy, not insanely influential advisory roles at the top of government and industry. time.com/6266923/ai-e...
“Eliezer Yudkowsky is in a wacky AI sex cult, and also he is one of the most powerful philosophers of this century and I take him quite seriously” is apparently a common take amongst high-level OpenAI employees. www.verysane.ai/p/ai-safety-...
“Yudkowsky is the person who connected Shane Legg and Demis Hassabis to Peter Thiel so that they could secure funding to start DeepMind, which is now Google's AI research division.” Yep, that’s the wacky sex cult AI doomer guy proving instrumental in Peter Thiel funding DeepMind.
