New “AI is not a bubble” video just dropped https://youtu.be/wDBy2bUICQY a lot of skeptical comments pointing out the flaws in this argument while the creator tries to defend themselves with mostly mediocre lines

HOLY SHIT LMFAOOOOO

behold, ruthless goal-seeking behaviour

huh, you’re right. usually this channel provides a source for the things they share, but this time there’s nothing.

the full paper is here: https://x.com/alexwg/status/2022292731649777723 immediately two references to Nick Bostrom and Scott Alexander

can’t believe scammers are loosing their jobs to AI

Im pretty sure most of this has already been posted to this thread (I know the “AI published a hit piece on me” thing was)but more Moltbook/Openclaw/whatever-it’s-called nonsense

this article that tries to argue that we have managed to achieve AGI already is a real hoot

holy fuck I actually just burst out laughing at this

also this video by 80,000 Hours on timeline increases in 2025 https://youtu.be/YeRS4TbtZWA

new interview with Dario Amodei dropped https://youtu.be/n1E9IZfvGMA basically exponential curve real soon, nice skepticism from both the interviewer and the comment section

On a related note, I really gotta stop browsing r/singularity man, some of the AI hype in there is just painful. though it is funny to see people with “AGI 2024/2025/2026” flairs

EDIT: this is also the same podcast where Dario said we could have AGI in 2-3 years back in 2023. So lol

completely unsurprised, cant wait to see what shitshow this produces

AI doomer channel confesses that their next video is about an AI takeover scenario that’s AI generated I heart slop

Wong expressed a desire to see more parentless working on AI rather than “childless singles” and refers to it as a “son of man”.

eughhh weird vibes all around

on the subject of AI as children/parents I’m gonna drop this article on Geoffrey Hinton and leave it at that https://futurism.com/godfather-ai-bizarre-plan-save-humanity

also this post which is where I got the xAI co-founder statement from, also goes over other things

-the Anthropic team lead quitting (which we already discussed in this thread)

-AI is apparently so good a filmmaker with 7 years of experience said it could do 90% of his work (Edit: I thought this model was unreleased, it’s not, this article covers it)

-The Anthropic safety team + Yoshua Bengio talking about AIs being aware of when they’re being tested and adjusting their behaviour (+ other safety stuff like deepfakes, cybercrime and other malicious misuses)

-the US government being ignorant about safety concerns and refusing to fund the AI international report (incredibly par for the course for this trash fire of an administration, they’ve defunded plenty of other safety projects as well)

another co-founder has quit praises Elongated Muskrat (lmfao) and says recursive-self improvement in the next 12 months and 100x productivity real soon (alongside those self-driving cars Musk promised back in 2012)

read the whole article, of course Donald Trump is excited about this. Which also guarantees that this will crash and burn in no time at all

well that headline just filled me with dread

neither did I reading this article was my first exposure to him
