- aiedrionio 16d agoYou don't think it's relevant that people who wield such immense power are literally in bed with each other?
- alphawhisky 16d agoThis. Conflict of Interest. It's also happening in government.
- greekrich92 16d agoWhen the sex cult is built around the idea that they and everyone else should fear and respect the false, anthropomorphized God they've created in LLMs, then yes. That makes them stupid and stupid people should not be allowed so close to the wheels of power and history.
- wewtyflakes 16d agoCan we apply this standard generally, or is it just against the people who deify AI?
- ecshafer 16d ago> Should you care that your heart surgeon is a necrophiliac? Probably. Should you care that some AI researchers are in a sex cult? Umm Yes, yes you should. Immorality in one area has a tendency to bleed into other areas.
- tsimionescu 16d agoIt's not even about immorality. The problem is not so much the sex, it's the cult part. If a good deal of the people working in AI safety in the biggest AI lands are actually a cult, that has deep implications about what AIs are aligned to, and how (ironically) irrational they might really be trained to be, by the very people trying to control them. Imagine if you found out that most people working in AI safety were high level members of Scientology - wouldn't that give you some pause about where this field is going?
- Ericson2314 16d agoThe problem is not the sex, the problem is the cult. The sex is merely evidence for the cult.
