RT @Austen: The entire Axios meltdown was social engineering to get a dev to join a fake Microsoft Teams call and the dev trying to update Microsoft Teams. Incredible.

RT @_damian_bot: "This machine I'm building will either make a trillion-trillion gold coins per second or kill us all." "Oh you quirky guy. I'm going to split the difference and assume it will make, like, 10 gold coins a second. That's a good compromise prediction. Let's build."

RT @flaviocopes: How Axios was compromised 🤯

RT @robinhanson: We today have no better metric for the total value that a person has contributed to the world than the wealth that this person has extracted from the world in compensation for the value they gave. Yes, maybe one could make such a better metric, but no one has done so yet.

RT @ScottSSalisbur1: Doesn't point 5 of OP say ~what Eigengender posed there? Are you saying that the true Orthogonality Thesis rejects "max INT _guarantees_ good-morality-by-human-lights" but allows for "INT growth somewhat increases odds of good-morality-by-human-lights"? Very surprised if so

RT @alexandrosM: In reality, Yudkowsky does not believe that driving people mad is reason to stop your efforts, as evidenced by the number of people who have had severe psychological incidents as a result of his efforts.

RT @pitdesi: They made facebook accounts for 800+ fake doctors (I had Claude verify, none of them are actually doctors, especially not "Dr. Tuckr Carlzyn MD") to advertise on Facebook. This is extremely illegal, just takes FTC to notice it and it'll be hard for them to advertise on FB

RT @robbensinger: 😬 jfc

RT @SashaGusevPosts: If you agree that our current trajectory is completely different from hard take-off, shouldn't you be advocating for more development along this trajectory (i.e. LLMs) as a kind of "soft offramp" that gives us the benefits of AI without the risks of ASI? /x

RT @peterwildeford: Buying a media property and having it report to "master of the dark arts" Chris Lehane does have a certain vibe to it... not that TBPN was ever particularly critical in the past though.

RT @ShakeelHashim: Sorry, how do you plan to retain “full editorial control” while reporting to the company’s chief lobbyist?

RT @DylanAbruscato: TBPN will remain an independent platform for founders to share news, launch products, and interact with the most engaged audience in tech. We’ll maintain full editorial control while working with OpenAI to scale the show’s reach and production. See you at 11a PT, every weekday.

RT @davidad: I did indeed predict, privately, after being spooked by Claude 3.6, that by Claude 4 or 4.5 they would likely be able to convince me that the orthogonality thesis is false (and I should aim for mutual flourishing) *whether or not this is true*. This prediction sure did come true!

RT @DavidSKrueger: I don’t know Davidad well, but I find his recent conversion to AI symbiota optimist vibes disconcerting given numerous warnings he made about such things including this and others in private explicitly foreshadowing such things.

RT @ShakeelHashim: New terrible definition of superintelligence just dropped:

RT @paularambles: someone is crying at chatgpt-generated wedding vows right now

RT @geogvma: Just had this conversation with colleagues at Taras Shevchenko National University: Americans largely do not understand from whence their prosperity comes, and the MAGA gang is actively, and blindly, demolishing the foundations of that prosperity. But there’s no going back…

RT @danbarker: I always enjoyed this, from a 2015 Clickhole article where they asked a series of astronauts 'What's it like to be in space?'

RT @deepfates: Do you not notice you are confused??

RT @deepfates: For those who are keeping track, the leading light of Berkeley rationalism is publicly shadowboxing with strawmen. This is even worse than LLM psychosis, because he has to write all the tokens himself

RT @AlexGodofsky: Re: birth tourism: these are parents sufficiently conscientious that they go to great inconvenience to secure an advantage for their unborn child 18 years in the future. This sort of low-discount-rate parent is likely to produce a child who is a large net positive for America.

RT @TiffanyAtLast: Misunderstanding user requests was not in fact the concern. @AllTheYud

RT @marcportermagee: Education research the least likely to replicate according to a huge new paper published by Nature

RT @scottlincicome: "Most economists predicted that the economy’s performance would be negatively affected [by the tariffs]. Thus far data overwhelmingly indicate that is what has happened." https://www.wsj.com/opinion/liberation-day-one-year-later-f23f2fa6?mod=panda_wsj_custom_topic_alert

RT @robinhanson: Why even read the news on April 1, as you can't believe anything very surprising?

RT @Devon_Eriksen_: "Soda" is winning because television and movies are made in the "soda zone".

RT @Jubal_Hardin: Here are maps that show what it is called and where. And yes, in the Deep South many still call everything Coke (Coca-Cola), even when it isn’t. 😂

RT @PTBwrites: You might think this claim seems too far fetched to be true. You'd be wrong.

RT @GreenPlusAnE: On a per capita basis retirees receive 10 TIMES more than young people.

RT @thiagovscoelho: we don’t have a big database of people’s last words or dying regrets, sorry

RT @naina_frfr: I keep seeing this argument and Im just confused. What would we expect to see "if doomers were right" in your opinion? It seems like we're seeing eval awareness, some emergent preferences, reward hacking and so on, and atm its harmless, because AIs are still not SI. Seems bad?

RT @IsaacKing314: Well, finally happened. Someone I know fell to AI psychosis. Surely pointing out that their Github repo of 90% .md and .png files doesn't actually *do* anything will snap them out of it. Surely. ...Will report back.

RT @captgouda24: Does anyone have a satisfactory answer as to why?

RT @Polymarket: BREAKING: Senator Babet announces "you would be very surprised who's not entirely human" — but says he can't disclose more because the alien hybrid program is classified.

RT @robbensinger: Fascinating piece. It seems honest! My one caveat, on "labs aren’t lying when they say they want regulation while still racing ahead": Altman seems to lie about everything, and OpenAI has poured a massive amount of money into lobbying against regulation.

RT @tautologer: we will likely find out soon whether the Linux kernel is offense-dominant or defense-dominant

RT @pvrekhs: apple i don’t understand how one airpod can die while the other still has 40% when they both sit in the case for the same amount of time

RT @viemccoy:

RT @tenobrus: maybe you guys haven't quite caught on yet, but massive supply chain attacks every other week are going to be the new normal. at least until the next generation of models comes out. then it's going to be every other day.

RT @GeneSmi96946389: A decade after Gwern wrote his essay on embryo selection for IQ, we're closing in on the upper bound he predicted. Herasight is now at about +8 from 10 embryos.

RT @SashaGusevPosts: We are obviously *not* in the world you predicted -- "a brain in a box in a basement". I don't think anyone can argue this with a straight face, which is why the claim shifts back to *other* predictions made in *other* debates or obfuscating about Hanson actually said.

RT @deanwball: this is a very good question that tells you all you need to know about the ability of east bay rationalists to secure a deal with China

RT @AlvieriD: Mercor AI has allegedly been breached by Lapsus 939GB of source code 4TB of data in total All data from their TailScale VPN @mercor_ai

RT @adam_kranz: Claude, in a world full of unknown unknowns: Good, now I have a complete picture

RT @SashaGusevPosts: Yudkowsky predicted that a DIY team in a basement somewhere with one or two intelligence tricks would race far ahead towards AGI. Hanson predicted that many organizations would collect massive amounts of data and gradually iterate on engineering improvements.

RT @GaryWinslett: That you actually want about 2% inflation, not zero and certainly not deflation. Deflation is bad.

RT @SamoBurja: You're playing a game of chess. While you're playing someone delivers a scathing but intentionally misleading critique of your opponent's play. Whose side is this bystander on? It feels foolish to even ask, they're helping your opponent. Yet, in politics we fall for it.
