what if the missile knew not only where it was because it knew where it wasn't, but it also knew what it was, because it knew what it wasn't. then it could know what to do, knowing what it doesn't, better than any human, outplaying them in every decision game twitter.com/dystopiabreaker/st

my point here is not to aimlessly dunk but to make clear where he’s coming from

if your worldview is all about predictions and priors, i think some of this stuff should give you pause

off all the odd assumptions built into AI doomer shtick, the most obvious one is the idea of ‘buying time’. they’ve been writing on listservs about this since before we had facebook! their best strategy was writing a letter! we’re not dealing with live players here

@rationalaussie Yudkowsky and the entire lesswrong crowd already had 20 years and almost nothing came of it. It seems very possible, and even quite likely, that if given 200 more years and basically martyring our own lives, nothing substantive would come of it, just more fearmongering.

These AI alignment cultists are so vile and dishonest.
“He’s simply calling for an international agreement!” When he’s calling for a military attack on anyone who refuses to sign it, but that’s conveniently left out because they don’t want to be seen as luddite tyrants they are

i have for a long time been prepared to be swayed by the arguments of @ESYudkowsky and of the alignment/safety community in general

i cannot get past this part in his piece in 'time'. this reads like 'and then the ai invents magic'

Y’all’re shitting on the liquid trees as entitled tech bros reinventing plants when it’s the creation of Serbian scientists to fight Belgrade’s awful air pollution and hasten the conversion of CO2 to O2 without waiting for a whole tree to grow.

We have seen this movie before

Myopic cowards who have never worked a real problem seriously in their lives assume that all problems are unworkable and ban people who can actually solve problems from doing so

Applying this to nuclear energy directly caused global warming
