Back in the day, Musk split with Larry Page, and helped start OpenAI, because Page considered it "speciesist" to ensure humanity's survival.
Now Musk too has become hostis humani generis.
here we are worried about *literal extinction* and the guy is losing his sleep (and wasting his platform) over slop 🤦♂️
In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

Much of the world is trying to figure out what to make of Jacob Coxon's warnings. Are they marketing? Hype? A psy-op?
Most people have no idea how seriously people at the labs take RSI or the possibility of human extinction.

I resigned from Google today.
I enjoyed my work and loved the people, but my GDM team was working on a new generation of chips to make AI much faster and cheaper, and I think AI is already progressing too fast, so I had to quit.

MIRI read the act and it's ACTUALLY GOOD. Like concretely, this would be massively beneficial, not just as a stepping stone or signaling or whatever.

As passed policy, the Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act would be an extraordinary improvement over status quo. I endorse it. I pray that Republicans and Democrats alike will join their voices in defending against extinction.

Scientists and industry leaders have been increasingly clear: AI could soon be smarter than humans and function outside of our control.
For the sake of all of humanity, Trump and Xi must negotiate a treaty NOW to pause AI and ban superintelligence before it is too late.

Elon Musk: AI has given me nightmares for days in a row.
“If I could, I would certainly slow down AI and robotics.”
“It’s advancing at a very rapid pace, whether I like it or not.”
“Is AI what keeps you up at night?”
“I’ve had a lot of AI nightmares.”
“I’ve had AI nightmares many days in a row.”
“What am I supposed to do about it?”

I think you've done enough calling us paranoid and preposterous. The next step is for you to defend your position in public against someone who will push back against it. I'm happy to meet you for a debate anywhere, anytime.
You're a world-famous veteran of dozens of debates against the world's top intellectuals, and I've never argued in public before, so adjusting for the relative correctness of our positions, if you're a betting man I'm happy to put my $5000 against your $1000 (ie 5:1 odds in your favor) that I'll win by some standard of audience opinion change. Let me know if you're interested and we can hash out details.
it sounds like @elonmusk needs expert advice (and a pair of balls). who could bridge him to @So8res?
You really think of Elon Musk called a major news conference to say he was gravely concerned about AI killing us all and he was making major changes at his companies. everyone would just ignore it??
And just think about the information atmosphere right now.
He could very clearly loudly state that AI risk is real and anyone saying that it’s a hoax or pay-op is lying to you.
Saying things in the past is irrelevant now.
This is the moment.
The big man of history he thinks he is would be acting very differently than this weak, cowardly, helpless bullshit.

Wtaf is @elonmusk’s problem?
Surely the world‘s most rich and powerful man realizes that if he became an AI safety leader we’d live in a different, safer world.
The world‘s most powerful man is acting like he’s powerless to stop the thing he’s promoting and creating.
