Thankful to be so busy next week for my first time at AIME-Con! It'll also be my first time in Pittsburgh, so if anyone has recommendations drop them in the replies. Honored to have been selected as a session chair, as well. #AIMECon2026

When Coxon was suddenly ALL OVER the media, it felt to many like that was because his story deserved that much interest i.e. that the media was doing its job informing the public of an important threat. The wall-to-wall media coverage wasn't organic though, it was orchestrated: >>

Well, well, well, I KNEW that the hounding of Arday was gonna get connected back to the TESCREAL bozos somehow. See this "paper" by the guy who hired Cofnas at Ghent University. Reminder "dysgenic" is the opposite of "eugenic," they mean Black people and other undesirables reproducing too much.
The dysgenics objection to longtermism
Bouke de Vries a,b,1
a Department of Philosophy, Ghent University, Belgium
b Department of Philosophy, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland

A B S T R A C T
Strong longtermism maintains that how we should act morally is determined almost entirely by
the expected effects on the welfare of our descendants existing thousands if not millions of years
into the future, who might include both other humans and any artificial agents with a comparable
or higher moral status that we end up creating. It is based on three key assumptions: (i) that our
descendants will have a moral status that is at least as high as ours and therefore should not have
their welfare discounted by us; (ii) that there is a good chance that these individuals will vastly
outnumber us; and (iii) that we can do things here and now that can be expected to positively
shape the long-term trajectory of humanity. The aim of this contribution is to suggest that authors
such as Will MacAskill and Hilary Greaves have been too optimistic about all these assumptions as
a result of having ignored evidence that the populations of post-industrial countries are becoming
less intelligent due mostly to the negative relationship that has emerged within these societies
between intelligence and fertility and to the proclivity of intelligent people to delay parenthood.

You gotta hand it to OpenAI, billing this as a *partnership* between OpenAI & Hugging Face when what actually happened was Hugging Face finding out that OpenAI was using a bunch of bots to exploit security vulnerabilities. Talk about good marketing or whatever you want to call it, by OpenAI.

Any news report that starts “OpenAI says…” or claims “an AI” (sic) has “broken containment” or “gone rogue” is no longer doing journalism, but PR for the #AI industry. #OpenAI used their product to hack a third-party and failed to implement adequate safeguards. That’s it. That’s the story. #AIHype

The reason so many of the (tech) broligarch's are so concerned with whether generative AI is conscious or not is not because they're worried about some moral responsibility toward it; its because they need to be ready to oppress it.

If Andy Beshear does not push this to a conclusion that either has him appointing McConnell's replacement, or McConnell reappearing, Beshear will be out of Democratic politics. We need rabble-rousers, not the same quiet, proper Dems who keep losing.
