I showed the original tweet to my partner, Dominiq. In under five seconds, they said: "This is a clip from a real Monet painting, I'm pretty sure." And: "I'm pretty sure I know which painting that is." 1/

Introducing AI StopWatch. It’s easier to speak up when you know what’s going on. It’s easier to see what’s coming when you know what’s already here. (1/9)

Who should I add to this? Also, did I get anyone's view wrong? What's your own view about AI companies' attempts to build ever-larger data centers in the race to build superhuman AI?

Good thing it's only killing them off figuratively... for now. bsky.app/profile/robb...

Will AI become smarter than humans? If so, is humanity in danger? I went to Silicon Valley to ask some of the leading AI experts that question. Here’s what they had to say:

A tale of two warning shots, #1: COVID happened. Scientists are divided on whether it was a lab leak. The world did not rally against dangerous viral research in labs. The warning shot was squandered.

Hundreds of scientists, including 3/4 of the most cited living AI scientists, have said that AI poses a very real chance of killing us all. We're in uncharted waters, which makes the risk level hard to assess; but a pretty normal estimate is Jan Leike's "10-90%" of extinction-level outcomes.

Serious slate of endorsements here!

Senior White House officials, a retired three-star general, a Nobel laureate, and others come out to say that you should probably read Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nate Soares' "If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies".

We've been getting some pretty awesome blurbs for Eliezer and Nate's forthcoming book: If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies More details here: www.lesswrong.com/posts/khmpWJ... One of my favorite reactions, from someone who works on AI policy in DC:
