Eliezer Yudkowsky [UNOFFICIAL]

RT @maxwinga: It's honestly terrifying how many people have fallen prey to AI psychosis.

At this point, I warn people to avoid having dialogues with AIs beyond just using them as coding, search, or troubleshooting tools.

The comments on this clip show how many are deeply ensnared already.

RT @So8res: Many experts warn that jumping off an emormous cliff without a parachute could lead to increased health insurance premiums, getting lost in the wilderness, or - in extreme cases - even death.

RT @KelseyTuoc: I doubt that anyone I know steals from Whole Foods, but the milieu that the article depicted, where it's normal for perfectly well-off people to steal things because why not, was really upsetting to read about,

It's bad when companies think they have the right to build AIs and do what they want with them. It's bad and perhaps worse when governments and militaries think that being big and powerful entitles them to do whatever they want with AI.

I'd like AI capabilities to not exist. Failing that, I don't want the government telling companies to do even more with their AIs or else get pushed around, because that causes more things to be done with AI.

RT @TheZvi: I knew there would be some amicus briefs backing Anthropic against DoW, but I did not have '5 admirals, 2 former Secretaries of the Navy, one from the Air Force, two Major Generals, one Brigadier General and another General on my bingo card. That's on me.

RT @mmjukic: Stuck culture is an economic phenomenon. Only Boomers have money to spend on fun stuff.

I see where you're coming from and I consider myself not naive about the importance of good institutions or what underlies them, but: On conventional econ, both sides benefit *only when* they trade with people not exactly like themselves!

And that's why we changed our name and gave up on the word.

RT @AaronBastani: Thought about this a lot in last 2 weeks.

America has constructed the greatest weapon in history: a weaponised global economy. Get blocked from SWIFT & your economy will scream.

I never realised the smart strategy in response is to…sink the global economy.

RT @effectfully: I swear vibe coders are only capable of keeping up with AI's bullshit because they have no idea what's going on. Told GPT-5.4 to narrow its `sed` windows so it stops wasting context.

RT @DavidSKrueger: The main problem with evals is that they effectively reversed the burden of proof from established safety practice in other high risk domains.

This is a much bigger deal than training against them IMO.

If you think that some powerful evil guy(s) (like OpenAI or whatever) is causing you / your ingroup grief and problems intentionally, or is out to get you in some way, you’re probably way too self-centered and naively project the layer of reality you care about onto everyone.

RT @deanwball: I would not have predicted this and I think Microsoft deserves serious praise here. Bravo.

RT @mattyglesias: George W Bush’s team also believed they were turning the page on indecisive prolonged military engagements in favor of fast-action, lethality, and avoiding quagmires.

Nobody *intends* to fail, they just fail.

RT @drethelin: I think the concept of skin-in-the-game is useful but it's worth remembering it's very insufficient. History is full of armies that lose battles.

RT @taste_of_tbone: When I became the lead engineer on the Torment Nexus project, it was to work on complex technical problems & make the world a better place along the way. I am appalled to discover the Torment Nexus would be used this way and, as my options have vested, will be leaving the project

RT @unusual_whales: 73.7% of all US wealth is held by those over 55, up from 56.2% in 2000, per US Fed.

RT @conor64: A person with normal epistemic humility would say, "I was mistaken when I concluded that a Trump vote would make war with Iran less likely." That is in fact what happened.

RT @BonkDaCarnivore: ICYMI, because you probably did, somebody placed a massive short on oil right before Energy Secretary Chris Wright posted a Tweet claiming US naval forces had escorted an oil tanker through the Hormuz Strait. Oil dropped $5 a barrel over the next few minutes. The short covered.

RT @itsolelehmann: i can't believe nobody caught this. Anthropic's entire growth marketing team was just ONE PERSON (for 10 months, confirmed) a single non-technical person ran paid search, paid social, app stores, email marketing, and SEO for the $380B company behind claude

RT @mattyglesias: An interesting asymmetry is that when Trump lied to portray himself as the peace candidate, right-wing hawks stayed chill and just let their preferred candidate do what he had to do in order to win while leftists pretended to believe Trump to try to gain intra-coalitional clout.

RT @maxbittker: From @karpathy's autoresearch .md

RT @BrandonMagner: In 2002, the Supreme Court held—in a 5-4 decision by the conservative majority—that undocumented workers are not entitled to enforceable remedies under the National Labor Relations Act, thus greatly incentivizing companies to hire them as buffers against unionization.

RT @OurWorldInData: The number of cancer deaths worldwide has more than doubled since the 1980s. Does that mean we're losing the fight against cancer? Not necessarily, because it depends on how you measure it. On this chart, you can see three ways to look at the same data.

RT @jasoncrawford: Is there a place where people don't shoot themselves in the foot? What's different about it? Can we be more like them?

RT @SethAbramson: Any diplomat who says we can take the Russians at their word needs to be fired immediately and I mean like within the next few minutes

RT @sarayupani: Cannot get over how crazy this story is. The US lied about escorting ships through the Hormuz strait to calm down oil prices (which worked), the story was denied by Iran.

The US then calmly admits they made the whole thing up sending oil prices into a worse free fall.

RT @aaronscher: (not a legal argument) It would be bad for human society if LLMs themselves were given first amendment protections. This would make it more difficult to govern this rapidly-changing and catastrophically-dangerous technology.

RT @seconds_0: The Jones Act has 4 requirements: Vessels must be U.S. built. Vessels must be U.S. owned. Vessels must be U.S. crewed. Vessels must be U.S. flagged. The crippling part of the Jones Act is that U.S.-built U.S. shipyards, for a variety of reasons, are incredibly inefficient.
