‘Before It’s Too Late, Buddy’

This is what happens when you spend two years unmasking a well-funded Silicon Valley “apocalypse cult.”

"This scenario is eerily similar to what Yudkowsky is advocating: military actions that could cause a genocidal nuclear catastrophe, if necessary to keep the techno-utopian dream alive."

"The warnings of #AI doom originate with #LessWrong’s Eliezer #Yudkowsky, a man whose sole achievements in life are charity fundraising — getting #PeterThiel to fund his Machine Intelligence Research Institute (MIRI), a research institute that does almost no research — and finishing a popular #HarryPotter fanfiction novel. Yudkowsky has literally no other qualifications or experience". @davidgerard on AI hype, & #crypto grifters jumping on the bandwagon

Eliezer #Yudkowsky may be more dangerous to humanity than a rogue AI. I don't trust the motives of a man who is ideologically and financially aligned with Peter Thiel and the "effective altruism" people. His proposals can be a serious threat to digital rights worldwide, now that he has a lot more people listening to him due to the hubbub around LLMs. Lobbing nukes over a GPU cluster, seriously?

This is your regularly scheduled reminder that Eliezer #Yudkowsky is a complete fraud. He has no qualifications of any kind, in any field. Nor has he contributed any substantial research, in any field. His only credentials are membership in a “research institute” he founded himself, and starting a #cult. None of his opinions are worth a moment of your time.

If you know, you know. If you don’t, you’re probably better off. Carry on.

in the face of credible accusations of widespread sexual harassment and abuse in their community, rationalists respond in pure Bayesian fashion: by viciously attacking the Lügenpresse https://www.reddit.com/r/SneerClub/comments/118tlb4/in_response_to_time_magazines_recent_coverage_of/ #EffectiveAltruism #abuse #Aella #Yudkowsky #fascism #rationalism

for anyone who has ever been tempted to take #SamAltman seriously about anything except his tech-infused misanthropy & nihilism, yesterday--YESTERDAY--he wrote that incoherent fabulist & alt-right grifter Eliezer #Yudkowsky may "at some point deserve the Nobel Peace Prize" for his tireless work fantasizing about robot gods coming to life (during breaks from his very peaceful polycule) #AI #GenerativeAI #rationalism #fascism

Eliezer weighs in with some RATIONAL GENIUS FUNNY that we muggles are too stupid to find funny, about either the Bostrom apology for doing #racism or the Tegmark apology for doing Nazism
