Good story. I never heard of the bizarre Yudkowsky.
“Yudkowsky does not support Altman’s actions in any way. He is deeply opposed to how OpenAI do everything. Because Yudkowsky is a sincere believer in the threat of an AI superintelligence — and Altman just isn’t.”
I haven’t liked Altman just on the vibes of what I’ve read about him. But apparently OpenAI is filled with grifter crazies who think LLM, a spell checker on steroids, is going to attain super intelligent consciousness and kill humanity.
Whatever you do, do not look up terms like “TESCREAL” or “Less Wrong” or “Roko’s Basilisk” or “Effective Altruism” or “Longtermism” or …
Well, basically, don’t look up anything related to Silly Con Valley techbrodude CEOs. It is literally insane.
How is the basilisk related to tech bros more than just being an AI?
Roko’s Basilisk is all part of the “Less Wrong” cult that permeates Silly Con Valley.
As I was reading, then scanning, I felt my brain turning to tapioca. I quit halfway through. Oh well.
