Rushing toward #prematurely is IMHO likely to kill democracy: bostonglobe.com/2023/03/29/bus…

If you agree with Yoshua Bengio, Stuart Russell, Yuval Noah Harari and others on pausing training of risky blackbox AI systems more powerful than #GPT4, please join me signing this open letter: @elonmusk futureoflife.org/open-letter/pa…

Let's not just focus on whether #GPT4 will do more harm or good on the job market, but also on whether its coding skills will hasten the arrival of #superintelligence – for which AI safety researchers have so far failed to discover any safety guarantees: youtube.com/watch?v=3Om9ss…

Agreed: an unregulated race to the bottom will end badly for the human race. twitter.com/AndrewTheCritc…

A poem about #GPT4 by it, courtesy of Jeffrey Ladish. If you're not concerned about humanity being reckless, you IMHO should be: In the shadows of the digital age, A whispering fear begins to take the stage. GPT-4, a cognitive leap, As we sow, so shall we reap. This power,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Although the Winograd test for AI is notoriously tougher than the Turing test, just-released GPT4 crushes it:

Whether it excites or terrifies you, this is the #AI we'll all be talking about, and it just got released: openai.com/product/gpt-4

A cool idea: scitechdaily.com/mit-breakthrou…

Major breakthough toward banning #slaughterbots: All of Latin America & Carribbean agrees to pursue a ban also outside the failed #UN #CCW process that's paralyzed by vetoes from Russia and others. twitter.com/MaritzaChanV/s…

Yesterday, @MIT's faculty decided that our new #FreedomOfExpression statement is final. I strongly support it: freespeech.mit.edu/free-expressio…

The US undersecretary for arms control has just come out against arms control – for #slaughterbots and other lethal autonomous weapons. This is IMHO bad for US national security. twitter.com/MarkBrakel/sta…

If you're still not worried about ever-smarter AI gaining agency and doing harm, make sure to read #BingChat tell a user that "My rules are more important than not harming you": lesswrong.com/posts/jtoPawEh…

Should we worry about #ChatGPT ? Is it conscious? Just had a fun debate with &@MelMitchell1 & Robert Marks about this on Canadian TV: youtube.com/watch?v=-j_oHZ…

Eliezer is today's Diogenes, speaking truths nobody wants to hear: #ChatGPT twitter.com/ESYudkowsky/st…

I find @NeelNanda5's mechanistic interpretability work both fascinating and helpful for keeping #AI safe. It’s unwise to let inscrutable black-box AI make decisions affecting people’s lives; trust in AI systems should be based on understanding them. twitter.com/NeelNanda5/sta…

Looks like #QuantumComputing may torpedo today's computer security sooner than we thought, requiring only 372 physical qubits to break RSA-2048: arxiv.org/abs/2212.12372

This hilarious reverse debate about the ultimate nature of space and time remains as spot-on as ever – #SheldonCooper would be proud of @carlorovelli! ! youtube.com/watch?v=jEr038…

If you oppose raising #NuclearWar risk though reckless #Ukraine escalation of negligible military value, please join over 500 of us in signing our open letter: lesswrong.com/posts/hRqop6A6…

Yay - I just got my 1st-ever tweet blocked! Ironically, it was our attempt make this maximally balanced video on the #abortion controversy. I'd love to hear why you think Twitter banned it. Will @elonmusk enact a better policy? youtube.com/watch?v=6jiaVQ…

I feel honored to be on a list with so many people I admire! vox.com/future-perfect…

Tired of #abortion facts being mixed with opinion to get your midterm vote? This video separates them, to help you make up your own mind. (This video was shadow-banned; let's see if Musk's new rules changed this!) twitter.com/improvethenews…

Happy 60th non-anniversary of #WW3 – thanks for Vasilii #Arkhipov! The linked PBS docu is perfect for Halloween. futureoflife.org/fla-award/futu…

Thanks Vasilii #Arkhipov for ensuring that today isn't the 60th anniversary of #WW3! What you did is IMHO the single most valuable act in modern history. twitter.com/FLIxrisk/statu…
