.@grok What is utilitarianism’s track record of coming to moral conclusions. What did it get right before the public/other ideologies, what do the public still disagree on?

How I noticed the danger Back in the late 2010s, I watched videos by Rob Miles on YouTube, about this theoretical computer science topic called "AGI". What happens when we get computer systems that are smart the way people are smart, where they can do basically any mental task? What problems does this create, especially as these systems become very intelligent? And why might this lead to very bad outcomes, including human extinction? "Wow, cool videos," I thought, and then promptly forgot about it. I got a degree in computer science, moved to the States, lived my life. In the background a couple of companies were developing some generally intelligent AI systems, but I didn't think that much of it. Some of my friends started working for Anthropic, which worried me at first, but they assured me Anthropic was the safe one, and actually it was good for the world to make sure they stay ahead. My friends were competent, and caring, and nice, so I assumed the problem was handled. Last year AI 2027 came out, and it scared me. It scared me a lot. I had panic attacks for a while, but the people around me reassured me that there was nothing to worry about. Sure, AI will keep getting more powerful, but we'll get the slowdown ending of AI 2027, I'm sure. The good ending. I'll live forever in paradise. Eventually I forgot about it, and it faded into the background of AI memes and references in my lexicon. Then it was May of this year. Mythos had been out for a while, and I started to get nonspecifically anxious. Something was wrong. Then I started to get anxious about AI. The people around me assured me it would be fine. I tried to control the anxiety, but it wouldn't go away. Then in June I took a trip to SF, and everyone there was freaking the hell out. I met plenty of chipper people who said "yeah, we're probably all going to die." All of a sudden I remembered those videos from all those years ago, all the reasons why this problem was hard, why superhuman AI systems would kill us if built, and it was like the sky collapsed on me. I started frantically looking for reasons to feel okay. I turned to my husband: he knew about these risks, but he wasn't worried about them. That's a lot of what had kept me relatively under control. I asked him for his reasons, and they were... Bad. Really bad. They didn't even make sense. I turned to my friends who worked at Anthropic. "Why shouldn't I be worried," I asked them. One told me they didn't engage with those sorts of arguments, on principle. One said they hadn't heard them before and asked me to explain (after which they still kept working for Anthropic, without any actual argument for why things would turn out okay). One said that over the past few years they had come to see this as more of an engineering problem, just something they had to tinker with and hack away at and it would work out in the end (with no engagement with any of the reasons why we know this isn't just a normal engineering problem). I looked at the trajectory of the past few years. Promise after promise by the AI companies made and then broken. Line after line drawn and then crossed. And all the while those warning of the horrible outcomes had never gone away, but their voices had become drowned out by the cacophony of AI powered startups and product offerings and excitement for the Glorious Transhuman Future. And that was when I realized, oh god, it's really just me. I am the one who understand this, maybe the only one in my friend group who actually, properly understands this. Nobody else has it under control. Nobody else is going to make sure this goes well. This is the source of my deep and abiding hatred for Anthropic employees in particular. They lied to me. They promised me, in so many words, that they would keep me safe, that they had things under control, that they would do the right thing. The realization that they were simply chasing money and status while blinding themselves to the danger was a punch to the gut, the greatest betrayal I have ever felt.

肝了一夜！Dario大战Altman！ Seedance2.5的参考视频没法去掉音效，所以有点瑕疵 无论如何，Claude封了我两个号，我选Altman赢！

At the next Bay Area House Party: Oh yeah our startup chemically wireheads bugs. We're producing billions of positive subjective experience-moments and selling them as offsetting credits to regular animal factory farms so they can sell net-positive chicken.

Back when people threw tomatoes at bad performances did they like go in blind and bring tomatoes just in case. Or did they hear from word of mouth that it sucked and planned a tomato attack?

Walls should be made entirely of doors for optimisation purposes. Walls designed to obstruct access can be made of locked doors

Literally all AI doom scenarios are this. The entire point is intellectual masturbation because every objection is met with “okay but what if its REALLY REALLY smart” Its always smarter than you, it always outsmarts you, what is the point in discussing it then?

Northwestern engineers built a drone that spins its own body 25 times a second to disappear mid-flight. It's called Phantom Twist. No paint. No clear plastic shell. No camouflage. Most of the frame rotates. 25 turns per second. 1,500 per minute. A full turn every 40 milliseconds. The propeller spins the other way. That's the trick. The counter-rotation cancels the spin, and the aircraft holds steady while its body turns into a smear. The eye tracks a bird. It tracks a normal quadcopter. It can't lock onto a shape that redraws itself 25 times a second. You see motion. You see blur. You never see the outline. Every camouflage in history tried to match the background. This one just refuses to hold still.

FRUIT FLY BRAIN MINES BITCOIN AT POTENTIAL 10X ASIC EFFICIENCY Introducing HashFly by @FutureBit, an experimental Bitcoin miner based on a reconstructed fruit fly brain using 2,914 real neuron connections to run SHA-256. The team says that if the system could be scaled using actual organic neurons, it could theoretically hash at roughly 1 W/TH, around 10x more energy efficient than leading 3nm silicon ASICs. For now, it’s an experiment. But biologically inspired Bitcoin mining is officially a thing.
