1970s: Let's scare the heck out of people about nuclear energy, so that instead of zero-emission power plants we'll use lung-darkening, climate-warming coal and oil plants, killing millions in the process. 2020s: Let's scare the heck out of people about AI, so that instead of amplifying human intelligence and solving the world's biggest problems, we'll make sure progress slows down to a crawl.

Let's make #AI like biotech, where companies must demonstrate safety, rather than the civilian nuclear industry, where poor safety standards gave us Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, Fukushima and a backlash that crushed the industry: bnnbloomberg.ca/video/push-f…

I’m scared of AGI. It's confusing how people can be so dismissive of the risks. I’m an investor in two AGI companies and friends with dozens of researchers working at DeepMind, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Brain. Almost all of them are worried. 🧵

Just made a handy tool to use #GPT4 on macOS! Select text, right click (or keyboard shortcut), & a pop-up window appears for quick commands.🪄✨ Summarize, translate, reformat, debug -- without switching apps. Meet Lookie⬇️

I lost interest in computer hardware during the 2010s. It seemed years would pass with only meager, marginal improvements. Intel was stuck in a rut, so CPUs were barely improving. The only bright...
