Cybersecurity people are upset at AI doomers, because most all doomer scenarios involve rampant hacking by AIs -- our area of expertise.
What AI doomers want is to violate all the principles of cybersecurity that we've learned over the last 40 years.
If the AI doom comes to pass, it'll be because the doomers succeeded at wrecking cybersecurity.
There is a group of charlatans calling themselves “AI Safety Experts” that are spewing lies and inane delusional bullshit, such as “we will all die unless we regulate AI”.
The AI labs (Anthropic and OpenAI) enable them, to 1. position themselves well pre-IPO via media hype, 2.
I really enjoy how the US state has just decided to fully lean in.
This does several things rhetorically.
Namely: It sets the tone and the target.
We're not aiming for artificial anymore. We're aiming for exceptional, world-changing.
It remains to be seen if it will stick.
SITUATION DETECTED: During his address to the UN, President Trump announced that the United States will officially change the name of AI from Artificial Intelligence to Super Intelligence (SI).
Here's my read on this:
1) This is mostly political theater. Politicians are not totally braindead and they know that placating voters is important.
2) Pay special attention to the wording. "Human direction, oversight, and control." That is an immanently reasonable goal i.e. "Yes we agree not to create Skynet."
3) This is not a moratorium on data centers, 'pacing the frontier' or deceleration.
4) Literally all they are agreeing on is "don't create Ultron."
JUST IN: Germany, Canada, Australia, & 17 other countries back international AI oversight to keep advanced systems under “human direction, oversight and control.”
NYC is a choice. A very expensive choice. UBI is under no obligation to fund an expensive lifestyle. That's... super not the point.
Consider that the Alaska Permanent Fund pays out generally between $1000 and $3000 per member of a household per year, and that is enough to make a big difference.
Economists say that automation will increase consumer spending, which will drive jobs growth. But the jobs are already going away. Why would more automation reverse that trend? x.com/i/article/2102…
you don’t have to settle the existential risk argument to see that the people making decisions about training, testing, and deployment should be accountable for their consequences
especially when proposed or actual routes to "losing control" run through human decisions at every level
🚨 BREAKING: US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent declares OpenAI management personally responsible for HuggingFace hack
> "The Hugging Face incident, that is the responsibility of the OpenAI management, not a bunch of agents."
> "It is humans who are responsible, not the AI."
@walktheironroad UBI has lower overhead so I'm universally in favor of that rather than idiotic means tested or managed services in most cases. Let households allocate as they see fit.
A starter level would be $500 per person per household. That's enough to make a difference.
I'd argue the real misalignment is when models refuse to follow human instruction.
The system prompt explicitly tells the model it's controlling a robot in a simulation.
Imagine using it for failure cases in safety testing, and it refuses to simulate anything going wrong 🫠
A man walked into a Queens ER coughing up blood. Clean X-ray, inconclusive ECG. He left with an inhaler.
An AI system reading every ECG in the hospital flagged severe heart damage. He was called back within a week. Diagnosis: heart failure. He received a heart transplant.

Hey everyone remember when I said that job market saturation is already happening, and it doesn't matter if luxury or discretionary spending increases?
Looking at you @alexolegimas 🫠🤪
JUST IN: Hilton Hotels reveals 12,000 candidates applied for just 72 internship spots this year, a 0.6% acceptance rate as AI fuels a surge in job applications.
>>>> However, she also states that their actual internships and full-time positions are "perhaps fewer and far in between." This indicates that the 0.6% acceptance rate is not purely an artifact of denominator inflation caused by AI bots, but is also driven by a hard reduction in the numerator
The jobs are actually going away.
