We need to be less hysterical about potential AMOC collapse in 2100 and way more hysterical about the actual mega El Niño in 2027.

Hey @democracynow.org do you realize that MIRI was started with Peter Thiel funding, and now runs on money from Open Philanthropy, whose board members include a guy married to Anthropic co-founder Daniela Amodei? Even if they weren't eugenicist, they're clearly industry propaganda

It's like they're going from bad to worse with Max Tegmark and now graduating to MIRI. I'm speechless really.

@democracynow.org MIRI is a cultist/eugenicist institution started by Yudkowsky - this is unacceptable. You need to find which staffers are into TESCREAL ideology and reassign them. Please talk to @timnitgebru.blacksky.app @emilymbender.bsky.social @adambecker.bsky.social @heidykhlaaf.bsky.social

80% of AI news at this point consists of a company announcing “we wrote a computer virus” then there’s something about the apocalypse or regulation, then the next news story is like “we wrote another computer virus.”

Apparently Nate Silver read our book and he's clutching his pearls because we talk positively about the Luddites. I, on the other hand, have read neither of his books. Which has proved to be a good decision because the man apparently can't read.

Three notes: (1) this is not *just* marketing. These guys really do mean it. They are convinced they’ve built a vengeful digital god. (2) but also they’re a cult. They are not impartial scientific experts. (3) and one of the byproduct of their endless confidence is marketing hype.

It's finally happened: the improved quality of machine transcription and the greater ability to extract value from unlabelled data means "your tech is eavesdropping on you for marketing purposes" has crossed from "false conspiracy theory" to "true and concerning" www.theverge.com/tech/991190/...

Unlike some previous versions of those movements that also emphasized immersive reading, teaching the controversy (anti-indoctrination), historicization, student-center pedagogy, & hostilty towards standardized testing. CLT is curriculum of cruelty with a Great Books cover (illustrated by AI).

Quick thing about this. I've done a few of these in the last few years & it's clear the reporters are being instructed to hammer "plagiarism, plagiarism, plagiarism." And if you give an inch, that's what'll make it into the segment. This time I did not give an inch.

At the center of my message to faculty yesterday was: 1.) We may not be adequately prepared for how angry students are about tech. 2.) They are not all angry for the same reasons. 3.) Being angry at it doesn’t mean they aren’t using it. The sense of entrapment fuels the anger.

🔇 🔇 🔇 My book, Deep Unlearning, is now available for preorders! I don't know how people write so many books because this one took a lot out of me. It turns out, I had a lot to say 😂, with editors cutting out 50k of my words 🫣 ✴️ You can now preorder it at www.simonandschuster.com/books/Deep-U....

Cover of my new book, Deep Unlearning: The Rise of AI and The Radicalization of a Tech Idealist.

There are two concentric circles in the book, the left being circuits in black an white, and the right being a bunch of dots with orange accents. The cover background is cream. And the words are written in black except for "Un" which is in orange.

Public outcry has resulted in Omaha agreeing to remove the “Shock Gloves” from the school system. It’s a win… but other Nebraska districts are still allowing them to be used on kids. Worse, stronger shock devices are used on disabled kids in schools & institutions. They should all be banned.
