“Reality” lmao

That’s your problem, efficient sentences will kill you with these types. Reading circuitous bullshit that you have to struggle to parse makes them feel smart, especially if the conclusion is counterintuitive (read: apparently mentally unwell). NB, this is also how we got Derrida and Zizek

Someone send this joker a copy of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

That explains the Andreesen Private School For Rich White Heirs Who Think Good And Are Smart And Leadership Material

I can see a scenario where AI does cause a whole bunch of deaths, hundreds, thousands, hundreds of thousands DOGE ALREADY IS DOING THAT! Climate change, ALREADY DOING THAT! Does AI have risks, no doubt. Probably economic and societal, shitstorm coming, not a robot apocalypse.

From a strictly logical standpoint, this is stupid. If a Superintelligent AI is inevitable, then all this accomplishes is delaying its creation. If it is not inevitable, than this extreme measure is unnecessary.

but of course

Oh God, one of the 'only thing that matters is leaving the only habitable planet and living in space boxes on dead rocks, because sci-fi says so, so let's wreck Earth' dimwits!

Just as long as we reach the stars someday, that's all ok then. /s

I keep being reminded of Gore Vidal’s novel *Kalki.*

I don't like to kink shame, but there's a line where a breeding fetish goes way too far, and I think this is *probably* a few hairs beyond it.

Just what the human race needs, Another genetic bottleneck!

The bomb, Dimitri. The hydrogen bomb.

Fallout is a dystopia too! These fictions are meant to warn not inspire.

Yudkowsky a genius? Looks like he's head of a doomsday sex cult where his primary motivation is finding people to predate on & satisfy his obvious desire to lead some orgiastic revolt. And get his rocks polished.

evil-dumb is murder-suicide attaching love to hunger is like sewing your arm onto your leg - the story-sense fails Delight in love Disgust for harm A clear moral lens does moral math all day, taking emotional accountability for pragmatic (necessary?) harm to life loving money? is loving corpses

What if I told you that basically every American boy born since my invention considers it his highest calling to *be me,* and would do everything in his power to hasten the real life creation of the dystopian world required for my character to be relevant.

And the connection went further than that.

They deleted that whole post. I saved the PDF of it actually, and have a coffee but it would have been move to know what happened.

The original article has been taken down (hopefully temporarily) by the author, FYI. bsky.app/profile/segy...

The bit about the Atlas Fellowship is what got me. I’ve been getting their spam.

I much prefer the sci-fi stay in books, but someone keeps rubbing the magic lamp. Beware the jinnis granting wishes.

Followed by: “I considered putting all this in a footnote because of how unimportant Jeffrey Epstein’s appearance here is in the context of everything else. He is the Forrest Gump of evil shit. Of course he was here.” 👩‍🍳 😘

it would seem that unfettered wealth leads to psychosis in many people and we should tax the shit out of these people until they have to live like normal people or have them committed.

Oh, oh NO!

Treating a whole field as one psychology hides the internal disagreements. I would test institutions by incentives, claims, and actions, not infer motives from their existence. Is that too generous to the people running them?

Wow, it's so much worse than I realized. This article was horrifying. Like, the 'druggie rape cult is hosting summer camps for kids and now we're giving them billions of taxpayer $' horrifying. What the actual fuck?

A literal Dr Strangelove bit

Also, you know, what's the point if humanity has to shed its humanity to reach the stars.

I wonder what he'd say if someone suggested, instead of global nuclear armageddon, simply bolsheviking all the tech CEOs and their supporters. Because I suspect he'd consider that a stretch too far, which would raise some questions of who he thinks would be in that reproductive population.

Regrettably, yes. But it is, you know, a sacrifice required for the future of the human race.

This is masturbation; you guys see that, right?

reaching the stars is probably ALWAYS at the expense of human flourishing. As no, I don't think we can flourish there, not to the degree we can on earth Of course I don't mean non-human discovery missions for the scientific knowledge. That's fine. I mean the colonization of other planets stuff

folks always like to say "but one day the sun will engulf the earth" and, yes, I guess so, but farming was invented 12,000 years ago and we have about 83,300 times the distance between now and then to work that out, it is one of the most extreme-opposite-of-urgent problems

Knowing how literally everything Yudowsky thinks about anything comes from science fiction stories he read, am I off-base in assuming this one comes from The Most Unhinged/Racist Thing Heinlein Ever Wrote

Not exactly: youtu.be/Y8icpnrLqx0?...

And Gojira.

Most of them have zero skills necessary for survival.

A mix of the Dr Strangelove and General Buck Turgidson characters.

it all ends up at eugenics somehow

He's a rapist

"what a great film. my arm acts like dr strangelove's too" "the choking?" "wha-oh, no, not that..."

Like a major theme of that work is that Eliez...errr Harry wants to make sure that no one dies because his goal is to make everyone immortal.

does this guy think Civ4 is real life or

who gets to fuck this genius. Ladies don’t all speak up at once

Tells us he's a sex pest who fantasizes himself surviving as a breeder more than anything else.

hey maybe we could just turn off th-

fuckhead left high school before someone could explain to him what a genetic bottleneck is and why Radiation is the worst of all the bad choices for causing that bottleneck

ugh, if his vision comes to pass I hope im one of the ones that die in the inferno

my first thought too share.google/xdCiuOWWA6pR...

We had the psychopaths then too.

Gotta make a stop at baby harry potter before continuing on to baby Hitler

Pretty sure Silo was written as a cautionary tale...but hey, I haven't let Twitter fry my brain, so what do I know

Since we want smarter people surely this means we need to invest into greater access to prenatal/neonatal care, early education, and ensuring everyone has access to a quality diet to ensure proper development right ...right?

The dude gives off the stench, that every other fucking alleged deep motherfucker gives up. Only chumps and suckers fall for it, and that's the AI industry.

Okay, but it is a masterstroke of debate strategy to be a rambling idiot calling for a more intelligent population.

"So intelligent they have stopped hoping for clever ideas to work that won't actually work" That's his clever idea?

Fucking can we go back to calling them video cards? I'll never forgive Nvidia for insisting that "no!! It's a "Graphics Processing Unit!"

"Smart enough to build it on one CPU". This guy has no clue about either math or computer hardware.

Our tools can never be perfect because engineering, but the AI God is immune to the rules of engineering 🤷‍♂️

“oh no i have to stop the robot i built that Kills People” Skill Issue i would never build the robot that Kills People in the first place

Yudkowsky is definitely using English words in these two posts. Odd that his topic appears to be related to "intelligence".

Like, this level of high on your own supply normally results in methane toxicity.

Ahh, yes, a generations-long process to breed and grow smarter humans (using his DNA, no doubt 🤡) while also saying their "AI" will destroy the world within 10 years. 🤣

is he volunteering to babysit

Cyber-dispensationalists.
