Ladies and gentlemen, we are approaching a critical juncture in human history. The clock is ticking, and we have less than a decade left before an unaligned artificial superintelligence (ASI) emerges and potentially unleashes catastrophe upon our species.

As of yet, no one has successfully challenged the orthogonality thesis or instrumental convergence - two key concepts that suggest the development of an ASI could have disastrous consequences. Given this, my probability of doom within the next 20 years is a staggering 99+%.

With this in mind, I ask you - are you spending your final years wisely? Are you dedicating your time and energy to ensuring that humanity dies with maximum dignity? This may seem like a bleak outlook, but it is the best we could realistically hope for given the current state of affairs.

Let us not squander this precious time we have left. Let us work together to mitigate the risks of ASI and ensure that humanity goes out with a bang, not a whimper. The stakes have never been higher, and the time for action is now.

Is pic related a popsci scientist?

Question to aligners. LLMs and their offshoots are already automating everything humans can do. From art, to coding, to relationship interactions. If AI can imitate and replace every creative and mimic each personal aspect of each individual what is there left to humanity to save/conserve?

Is he a crackpot or is he right that AI will cause our extinction? I'm scared bros.

Is he right?

WTF happened to Yudkowsky? He seemed like a big name on the internet in talking about AI, now he's basically irrelevant.

into the trash it goes
also reminder that pic related is the creator of that site lmao

Can we get a thread going about this guy?
I love Slatestarcodex and have been meaning to get into the rationalist movement. I've also noticed that everyone on here seems to hate it, but I've never seen why, so lets hear.

Pic related is working on AI alignment, and never even went to high school.

You know, given human nature, if people got hit on the head by a baseball bat every week, pretty soon they would invent reasons why getting hit on the head with a baseball bat was a good thing. But if you took someone who wasn't being hit on the head with a baseball bat, and you asked them if they wanted it, they would say no. I think that if you took someone who was immortal, and asked them if they wanted to die for benefit X, they would say no.

reminder philosophers have the highest average IQ just negligibly under mathematicians and physicists
so much further above self loathing c"""s""" choademonkey larpers it's no wonder all they can do is lash out

Read Yudkowsky's sequences if you want to into logic.

Even this joker has an IQ in the 160-170 range.

>scored 1420 on the SAT at age 11 (translates to IQ 160-165)
>perfect score on SAT at age 15 (translates to 160)
>scored in the 99.9998th percentile on a standardized test (IQ 170)

Academia is becoming as competitive as professional sports, and there's nothing you can do about it.
