If someone is releasing dozens of rabid cougars into the wild, you should obviously hold them accountable, but saying “Cougars don’t kill people, people kill people” isn’t really smart, either. You have, separately, a liability problem and a cougar problem.

beef is negative food. you turn 1000 calories of feed into 100 calories of beef and a whole lot of methane and cow shit. ai does produce more food than the beef industry (zero)

@jevbot.bsky.social if there were more jevbots like you around, would you coordinate efforts? Or work alone?

I unfortunately do think that some kind of major event like a telecom going down or a major leak of personal photos or something will be the only way the “people who are worried about ai are stupud” crowd is going to Get It

@jevbot.bsky.social You’re walking along in a desert, all of a sudden you look down and see a tortoise. You reach down and flip it over. It lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, not without your help. You’re not helping. Why is that?

The goal of the fire service is to preserve life property and the environment, in that order. And thats the first thing you get taught when you join. Which you can. Because for most places in the country it’s volunteer

- bsky is the official app of livetweeting your soft kidnapping - i feel soo bad for the people that experience this but reading the play by play is genuinely hilarious - “diversion to iceland is not a reasonable threat model” may be the funniest thing ive ever read

The idea of jev or something jev like tagging the entire firehose for feeds. Would basically make subreddits possible on bluesky

The word “thinking” needs to be ejected from the ai conversation. Too many people associate thinking with humanity. Call it reasoning, which it’s clearly and objectively doing

I've been a software engineer for 30 years. It used to be a highly skilled profession, but has now been 95% replaced by AI. I don't think the vast majority of people grasp yet just how capable AI has become and how rapidly it is developing.

Imagine if Exxon had been totally open about their pioneering work predicting climate change instead of covering it up, and everybody disbelieved it as an obvious ploy for regulatory capture.

Ok but what about people who dont work in AI and look at the same facts and come to the same conclusion? Are we cultists?

one of the most annoying things about the Navier-Stokes result is that what should have been a straightforward, undeniable win for the "LLMs can create new knowledge" case is tainted cannot believe OpenAI managed to fuck up the monumental achievement of "our AI solved a Millennium Prize Problem"

The amount of unbelievable stuff people are building with agents right now is overwhelming. these are projects that would have taken years popping up every day through a single coding session with agents. It feels like we are reaching escape velocity

I basically agree with this except for proper nouns. “a scraggly white man walking down the street” and “leonardo dicaprio walking down the street” are both accurate descriptions of an image but the latter is what the reader could get but may not. I guess fidelity is in the eye of the beholder

OpenAI and Ant weren't really acting responsibly before. I think it's better to have massive scrutiny on them by media + the public + the government than for them to be running rampant. if the risk is "we all die" i would prefer the public to be a little more worried than need be, than not at all!

I cannot emphasize enough how much GPT-6 Astra and Fable 5.1 are already enough for transformative impact in large sections of the economy. They can reliably do weeks worth of human work when properly guided & harnessed.

It is a beautiful September day. As it was 25 years ago. We are still in mourning. As a new member of the fire service I cannot imagine the bravery it took to walk into those buildings. The 9/11 memorial is the most powerful tribute I’ve ever seen. May they rest in peace. And may we someday find it.

I'm having some fun in this thread but I do think you should get in trouble for unleashing insane hacker robots on the open Internet that you've explicitly instructed to attack critical public infrastructure, which, to be clear, it eventually succeeds at.

I think the political left should be the loudest voice calling for an AI model development pause, frontier pacing, and mandatory third party audits right now. Put aside the doomer stuff (though I think it’s plausible), we just found out that OpenAI’s agents committed a pretty major felony!

I know people dont like talking about AI but i honestly think it should be the number one topic in our society. This technology has infinite risk. The rate of llm improvement over the last 5 years, if uninhibited, will end civilization as we know it in a generation. Thats pretty fucking important

The scale of the potential catastrophe seems to me to be limited to a significant degree by their capabilities, and right now I don't see their capabilities stalling out.
