I made a specific point, you didn’t like it. I’m not saying this from some sort of inferiority complex, it is literally a product category that is probably going to be announced in an OpenAI blog post in the next 12-24 months or at the next

I don’t know or particularly care what “anti-AI” thought leaders think. I don’t get my views from a camp. The person above believes that in a year, or 3 years, or 10 years that they will remain an “operator” of the AI, and that their creati

It’s odd because so many researchers and so many people who are far better engineers than me, can’t see it. I don’t even think it’s the salary for most- it’s just techno-optimist horse blinders, reading assured utopia at the top of an expon

This comment seems to commit the same fallacy I’m accusing anthropic of, which is equating alignment as a binary: the good ending, where humans are not extinct, and the bad ending, where they are. The argument, I think, is that an “aligned”
