this is exactly my opinion. there may be a superstrate of extremely difficult and unique safety problems around AI, but the substrate is simply that no one takes basic precautions seriously becasue they imagine (or pretend to imaigne) that it is futile, and basic precautions slow down launches.

I'm starting a new YouTube channel to host video explainers for concepts related to AI that I'm using AI to create, tweaking with my specific style and what I like in explainer videos. This first one is on the math you need to understand AI www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

A lot of it is "slop", or probably qualifies as such but ai video enables a whole genre of weird abstract art content that I really enjoy for some reason. It's also impossible to find on youtube for some reason.

One of my goals is to incorporate terms like mens rea into my ordinary lexicon because they're rad and that would occasionally confuse a lawyer which is the greatest joy in life

To the credit of the nyt, although their AI takes are not always completely informed, they at least aren't catering too much to the antis on the daily / esra Klein, etc. like, at least some of them say this is serious and don't pay much lip service to the stupid arguments.

It makes me sad, and something I fought with for a long time but I had to cut them off. The fact that it's happening a lot, makes me wonder more about what the effects of this will be in 50 years. Though, it will be hard to tell with everything else going on.

I spend a huge amount of time on AI coverage and analysis, and have access to lots of resources It's hard for me to use a fraction of these resources (actually) well or really know what to do with it despite that Hard to imagine where the typical citizen is at, given everything.

yes.
A five-panel meme showing a progression of black-and-white portraits labeled "Opus 4.6" through "Opus 5.5". "Opus 4.6" features a detailed pencil sketch of a smiling man with curly hair and glasses. "Opus 4.7" is a slightly simpler sketch, "Opus 4.8" is a clean cartoon line drawing, and "Opus 5" devolves into a crude, messy child-like scribble with big buck teeth. The final panel, "Opus 5.5", displays an exaggerated, hyper-masculine "gigachad" version of the man with a massively chiseled jawline and confident smile.

Excited for a future where machines are better than humans at everything, we can finally stop pretending like some activities are inherently more meaningful to spend your time on than others, finally everything can be art.

A lot of people I follow are knee deep (or more) in the philosophical discussion and ecosystem that eventually produced good ideas about AI (and other things). It's impressive, but as a guy who has a day job I appreciate observing from here and occasionally getting the insight from drive-by takes

Noam Brown is literally a working professional, but dwarkesh isn't exactly a layman! Also, it's an interesting interview. Also also, the most recent Ezra Klein interview with Matt Sheehan on China is actually really good. God I wish I could speak Chinese.
