They're moving on from trans youth towards advocating banning care for trans adults, just like we said they would.

Always funny when ostensible liberals are like "You see, this postcolonial conflict is actually very nuanced and complex, because what makes it so very unique is that the majority ethnic group doesn't want to share power with the minority ethnic groups." Oh wow, I didn't know that, that's wild man.

We let them commit genocide with one party in office, let it continue at a more limited scale in the next and then started a disastrous war, in no small part, on their behalf. They need peacekeeping forces, not security guarantees

This doesn't matter of course because Republicans are hypocrites and never act in good faith, but I wonder how many people remember when they called student debt forgiveness a bribe.

The U.S. AI industry is being run by a batshit rationalist sex cult, and no, I am not being hyperbolic - they’re genuinely Like That:
Erin Redwing
@realizingerin
I went to an rationalist/EA Al doomer event last night with the goal of meeting someone who could calmly explain to me the argument for how they get to the conclusion that Al will kill everyone.
Because these are rationalists, I expected to find people who could lay out a serious extinction pathway, walk through the assumptions and intermediate steps, identify choke points where negative pathways could potentially be regulated, and entertain disagreement about where their assumptions might break down.
My experience was the exact opposite.
The people I spoke to seemed psychologically unable to entertain the possibility that their conclusion (that Al literally kills everyone, which was a point that many would not even budge on) might be wrong.
Their most extreme conclusion was treated as an axiom.
I had multiple people walk out of conversations with me when I questioned their inevitable extinction premise.
At one point during a panel, the moderator asked everyone in the audience who was still skeptical of Al doom to raise their hands. About half the room did. He then told all of the skeptics to leave the panel and go with one of the speakers, who would answer their questions separately. They filtered out all the skeptics, and continued the panel only with the subset who accepted their extreme position.
I genuinely felt like a heretic just for questioning whether superintelligent Al inevitably leads to the extinction of humanity, or entertaining the possibility that the future might actually turn out well.
That does not mean Al safety is fake. Obviously there are serious questions about rapidly advancing Al systems and what happens as they become much more capable. Those are exactly the conversations I went there hoping to have.
But what I encountered was an apocalyptic death cult. These people are not rational. They are deeply afraid, they reinforce that fear in one another, and they have become so emotionally committed to apocalypse

Can’t sleep so I decided to browse X. Seems to be an intense and occasionally vicious debate on this happening amongst elements of “the left”, the crux being that in order to hate AI correctly, you must accept the superintelligence framing if you want meaningful regulation. And buddy, no you do not

The GOP operative class is younger, better educated, and more urban than the national average which means their intuitions pull the party to the center.
The Dem operative class is also younger, better educated, and more urban but that means their biases pull Dems off-center.

Things that actually worry be about AI: Energy demands, pollution, resource demands (components used elsewhere by industry & consumers), acceleration of mental illness and deskilling, excess build-out of data centers, economic bubble, hacking, misinformation, surveillance, offloading accountability

A bunch of Israeli politicians said “we will destroy Gaza” and then the IDF blew up the hospitals and shot starving people with snipers and killed everybody in the NICU so all the preemies died but prominent people will still argue with you under their own names about whether or not that’s genocide

Anthropic's models run on terabytes of VRAM. It's not going to "just copy itself to other computers."

Rohan Paul
@rohanpaul_ai
Jacob Coxon's next interview on CBS News (ex Anthropic+Open AI researcher who resigned)

"We can't just unplug it because it could be copying itself over to other computers. Like it's not that difficult to find yourself because an AI is just code. It could transfer itself over the internet to a different place and then you unplug it here, but it's actually still over there and maybe it makes 10,000 copies of itself and they're all cooperating."

"Trump saying he'll pay people $5k if republicans win is bribery!" Sorry, you're being stupid. This is not an argument that matters. Trump is a criminal who loves crime and does crime and enables crime. Everyone already knows this and either loves or hates it. What matters more is that it's a lie.
