Its the “expert in one field = expert in all fields” stuff that I hate. There’s still plenty of jobs and areas of expertise that require humans: medicine, psychology/therapy (AI has arguably made the need for human therapists way more important), physical labour like construction work, linguistics etc. Hell human authors are definitely keeping their jobs since so many people hate slop

The part about the AI generated story about ancient Israelis tugging at his heartstrings made me dig up the post where he proudly proclaims himself a zionist and creates an insane trolley problem: https://awful.systems/post/5437903

Ah, that one AI2027 blog post where they tried to convince people not to commit terrorism by opening the article by talking about how man’s fate may be sealed in two years time. Incredibly smart idea.

new Scott Aaronson blog post just dropped it’s mostly him freaking out about those solved Erdos problems and AI mathematicians replacing human mathematicians, with a little bit of AI short storywriting and the Pope’s encyclical sprinkled in

This new effort follows President Donald Trump’s National Security Presidential Memo 7, which instructs the Department of Justice to target anyone holding “anti-American,” “anti-Christian,” and "anti-capitalism” beliefs.

well this whole read was a reminder about how much of an AI bootlicker Trump is.

So apparently using the allegedly world-ending machine to tell you who to vote for is perfectly fine and dandy?

This guy was the main writer of AI 2027 mind you, how can he be so stupid? (don’t answer that, we all know already)

The Pope has not charged Catholics worldwide to burn down the data centres. Cool as that would be.

If we just push a littleee bit harder we can get there. Never give up!

This was from last year but I forgot about, but this article allegedly about a survey conducted by MIRI and Stanford University on a bunch of AI experts about timelines, which is definitely entirely AI generated since said survey straight up doesn’t exist (I didn’t find anything like it when I did some searches) and it quotes a person who doesn’t work for MIRI

the website title being “ai blogs ai” kinda gives it away

Aella asks what type of sexist she is based off some poll results

I encountered this in the wild over on Reddit about the Pope and AI

I can’t decide if I hate hardcore atheist or hardcore christian claude more

what the fuck’s the Pope gonna do, convert Claude to Christianity?

It’s jawdropping how everyone in Silicon Valley is living in their own little world where AI is the greatest invention ever and everyone should be grateful for living in the year of the AI Gods

A lot of rationalists (again including Yudkowsky) endorse eugenics so that’s probably not a coincidence

Behold, one of Earth’s top scientists on sex and gender (according to Yud)

Honestly go China im sick of this shit

Can’t find the exact post rn but I remember an AI yt channel (im 90% sure it was the AISpecies guy) using this as proof that ASI is imminent, and conveniently left out the part at the end where they say this does not indicate that AI is now a general-purpose alignment scientist (and also left out the link to the sources in numerous posts iirc so no one could fact check him easily)

The myth that talking about bubbles prevents bubbles for when someone starts saying some “oh but everyone says AI is a bubble which must mean its not”

REALLY? LMFAOOOOO

Did it actually solve this one or did it just find a pre-existing solution like it did the last time?
