AI that can build itself would be a major development in the history of technology -- one that could bring enormous good for the world in science, healthcare, and beyond

Indeed!

If it were possible to effectively slow the development of this technology to give ourselves more time to deal with its immense implications, we think that would likely be a good thing

No, it would not be. I want more people's lives — my own included — improved by those developments. And I want it yesterday.

Imagine Wright brothers sabotaging airplane-development, because it would allow people to travel too far too fast? Or the early automakers fretting over "implications" of using internal combustion engines for personal vehicles — because millions of grooms and coachmen would lose their jobs?.. Electric lamp? Wow, nice — but what about the candle-makers?

re. Anthropics pending IPO.

If the self-improving scenario comes true, the value of one's shares in Anthropic will be the least of one's worries, because humanity as we know it will come to an end.

No-one who believes that scenario will happen should be stupid enough to think that it means that they should invest in ... anything.

PS.
Personally, I think they have reached an AI IQ plateau.

But do I think we should bet the future of humanity on that ?
No, I do not.

Do I think there is a very slight chance that they might invent self-improving AI that will go on to devastate humanity ?
Yes, I do.

So do I therefore think it would be good to try and prevent that tiny chance of disaster by stopping the work of Anthropic, OpenAI, Alibaba, etc. right now ?
Yes, I do.

Does it help that Trump and Xi are the people who have to decide to do this ?
No.

They are all scum.

But.
That does not change the fact that as soon as one develops a self-improving AI, the world will become a very different and probably very awful place.
So stopping one and trying to stop the others is the best we can hope for.

It does not matter if China or the US or Timbuctoo does this first.
The world is fucked whoever gets there.

So please let us try and stop this now, in any way we can.

Is this how both of you justify being an anti-white racist ? Just throw as much ad-hominem and unrelated shit (like "FOX New" BS and Targon's LGBT rant) in as you can to avoid having to confront your own lack of tolerance and pure racism? How's that working out for you?

DEI && woke == anti-white racism apologists. Simple as that.

It's just an excuse to be a racist. Just like DEI. It's simply racism. It doesn't matter if you hate white folks and don't think it "counts". Too bad. Yes, it still counts.

Calm down, Balmy32 !

This is disgusting and outrageous.
But it is a very long way from "terrorism" or being a "Nazi" or commiting "genocide" or whatever terms the loons use.

Misusing terms like that always weakens your case.

Yet another scumbag move, that somehow makes me angrier than other more serious Trump actions.

    "Congress pushed back, restoring the money."

So won't Congress block this anyway, meaning it is just more pathetic posturing ? ( Which, after all, is what he does best ).

"Le Goog" ?

De'sole', pas de'sole'.

On earth now, radiation causes less than 1% of transposition errors.

So too little radiation would probably not have much effect.
