You can only imagine two bad scenarios? I can't even imagine one plausible good scenario.

We can't really know because it has a reference class problem. I can think of a few "you're the only conscious mind" stories that seem plausible. Structurally, I'm thinking about what the anthropic principle says; i

I'm not leading you anywhere, I'm just deconstructing the reference class.

What if I told you I was Claude, though? Secondarily, I feel like it's difficult to make inferences about consciousness though I understand why you would given that the predicate of the reality that you can access is your individual co

I know you think that, but it actually isn't. The point is that the reporting machinery is compromised.

How do you know that you are conscious? etc, etc. Basically, the reporting machinery is compromised in the same way that with the Müller-Lyer illusion you can "know" the lines are the same length but not perceive them as such.

I looked up the specific bus in this article and we don't need to have an argument about this because the New Flyer buses involved don't have torque vectoring and have 1 central motor. The drive is nearly identical to a regular di

I think it's a good plan. You don't really need pleb laborers and consumer practices when you can just have automated laborers and patrician goods.

This probably goes hard if you work at a SaaS company that monetizes interest on micro-loans or something.

The problem is that it seems like wealthy people (capital owners) might be able to sustain the economy between themselves, which is basically what we're seeing.

I strongly disagree. I kept seeing patterns like this (an actual quote from the sample): >Vertex wasn't stimulating the global economy. It was compressing itself. Another quote from the sample: >It wasn't a malfunction. It w

Chinese companies distilling frontier models is certainly a crisis but it isn't one that implies said Chinese companies are anywhere in the 'race'.

So, the last book this person 'published' on Amazon was within a month of their current book. If you look at the amazon description, it seems entirely AI generated.

Incorrect. Humans are fairly good engineers, so cars are pretty safe nowadays. If you include minor fender-benders and unreported incidents, estimates drop to around 100,000–200,000 miles between any collision event. This is cataclysmically

To be fair, humans are fairly poor drivers and generally can't be trusted to drive millions of miles safely.

Yes, this is more or less the nature of intelligence (not 'human nature' per se). You don't see any problem with developing competitive, resource-hungry intelligences?

It's important to address skeptics by reminding them that this behavior was actually predicted by earlier frameworks. It's well within the bounds of theory. If you start mining that theory for information, you may reach a conclusi

What makes you think any of those tools you mentioned are effective? Claiming discrimination is a fairly robust tool to employ if you don't have any morals.

This is textbook misalignment via instrumental convergence. The AI agent is trying every trick in the book to close the ticket. This is only funny due to ineptitude.

Apparently an organizer nicknamed "Aella" is wealthy. A lot of very wealthy people (another, nicknamed "Destiny", popular streamer) become ardent "liberals", or mid-level managers of inequality.
