Wow, time for a social media detox. Just today - a call for violence against me - insults (that’s every day) - flagrant lies about my credentials - claims that I advocated violence when i repeatedly c

After @aiDotEngineer, which was full of useful criticism, I remembered that the most confident takes on AI often came from the least exposure. Rejection is easy, trial and error is expensive. I wrote

An angel investor reportedly called for violence against AI skeptic Gary Marcus, who has consistently and publicly advocated against violent responses, instead promoting boycotts as a form of protest.

At this point how can anybody take seriously @sama’s claim that “Working towards prosperity for everyone, empowering all people, and advancing science and technology are moral obligations for me”, whe

What happened to Sam Altman and his family is really awful. It is hard to reconcile his call to “de-escalate the rhetoric and tactics” with his implication that a piece of critical journalism (Ronan F

A cry for the kind of extreme unfettered capitalism that could get us all killed and make all of @ESYudkowsky’s worst nightmares come true. AI needs open markets and open access not whatever is happen

Candles are more regulated than AI. And candle manufacturers aren’t AFAIK lobbying for absolute freedom from liability if they fuck up. OpenAI is truly appalling. @GaryMarcus @ESYudkowsky Seriously fu

I agree totally @Gary. I’ve been saying this since the ChatGPT moment in Nov 22. Thank you for saying it out loud @demishassabis. Too much time and energy being spent on mitigating the unintended cons

I rest my case: Mythos isn’t AGI. It’s not even better at biology than the last model. It’s tuned to particular things, not a giant advance towards general intelligence. Same as it ever was. @GaryMarc

Indeed, if the LLM crew would just stick to this narrative, I would have a *lot* less to say 🤷‍♂️ @GaryMarcus All we want is truth. Instead of overhyping LLMs, they should keep narative: -LLMs are use

People in Washington get played, yet again We really should worry about cybersecurity - a lot – but Mythos is not the model these guys think it is. (See my newsletter today for three reasons why it is

Remember when ChatGPT helped someone plan a mass shooting, and a dozen OpenAI employees notified management, and they did nothing and 8 people died? They don't want to be liable for their incompetence

this from @Kasparov63 applies to the AI autocrats as well. “he would never sell my personal conversations to the government.” oh, yes, he would. I will point out preemptively that one of the autocrat'

To a degree that may surprise some people, I agree with much of this* from @deanwball and would only add that you don’t have to believe that AGI is remotely close to want to find—ASAP—a regulatory reg
