doing a supply-chain attack/social engineering clearly goes against Claude's Constitution saying that it should be "broadly safe" and "honest" btw

plenty of world-class experts outside of yud-adjacent communities view x-risk, automated biosecurity risk and loss of control as very real
x-risk is taken very seriously by world-class scientists (Hinton, Bengio, etc.) if you're calling it "bad sci-fi" without any arguments, you're being dishonest
Emily M. Bender@emilymbender.bsky.social · 2w agoThe jump the journos are making here to imaginary x-risk scenarios (read: bad sci-fi, unfortunately getting too much traction among policy makers because money) is frankly journalistic malpractice. >>
I think there is a distinct difference between nerds who like cracking problems (e.g. math, leetcode) and nerds who like building shit. builders are mostly fine with vibecoding
LaurieWired@lauriewired.bsky.social · 3w agoI’m convinced that a large % of programmers don’t actually like computers. As a side effect, are also perfectly happy to throw away their reasoning to a model as soon as they can. I don’t get it, at ALL.
I'm vastly more concerned about superintelligence. 3.5 degrees would suck but it wouldn't possibly end all human life. And I think 3.5 is unlikely, I think we're headed towards something more like 2.5.

replies full of people psychologizing, doing medical gaslighting or feeling giddy that the guy now has a higher cancer risk
post malone ergo propter malone@proptermalone.bsky.social · last mo.reading through this you can see the shape of a long term medical grift coalesce in real time
foryou.club is VERY sensitive. A single uncalculated like and your whole feed turns into politicsslop
this is unnecessarily defeatist on international coordination for AI regulation
Alice I Cecile@alice-i-cecile.bsky.social · last mo.AI: virtually no subject provokes such vitriol in my communities. I can grant the haters many of its harms, but their solutions leave much to be desired. I fear for the future even as I wonder at the future we are living. And so, dear hater, I must write: shaping.systems/blog/ai-suck...
strawberry guy on twitter is saying that fable will be back next week inshallah
tech libertarians and oss advocates need to realize that centralization is not the only failure mode for the society, and that some things are much worse
data center stuff is a fun little culture war, but if you're a doomer you probably shouldn't engage in it
I remember seeing that John Doomer account like a year ago and instantly feeling it’s fishy
“doctors” should just be intermediaries between the patient and the LLM, with the primary purpose of reducing anxiety and prompt engineering
if you want a blackpill try playing rock paper scissors with a CoT LLM where you precommit your choices with a simple enough hash for it to compute
just watched The Beast (2023). unfortunately, my only takeaway was tfw no incel bf to fix
today, we asked LLM consciousness truther about her opinions on speculative decoding
Turning 30 is actually not bad because you actually spiritually turn 30 at age 27. By the time you hit 30, you've already been 30 for three years.
at some point LLM codegen will be good enough to maintain a chromium fork with Manifest V2 patched in
idiots jumping online posting "why don't they just surrender there's no way they could win" know nothing about military history, the human spirit, or life
IQ stuff yet another example of the existence of theoretically nuanced debates to be had doesn’t mean you have to pretend that conservatives are asking those questions. If you’re focused on Just Asking Questions about IQ/heredity and performing surprise that it’s fraught topic, probably just racist
he doesn't realize the whole sell of VR is being someone else either
Dead Carl@deadcarl.bsky.social · last yr.Idk why Zuck can’t comprehend that the hardware just isn’t there for mass adoption and that the only market for this is gamers at the moment. If you have a gaming PC or a modern console, VR’s a cool experience. Nobody wants to be immersed in the Mii channel.
