Mathematician Terence Tao: "we have to slow down AI. the pace is insane, and there's no reason to be this fast — no reason at all" It's amazing how willing we are to change everything without any idea what happens afterward These are extremely nonlinear dynamics

Imagine looking at your agent's thoughts and it's actively working to sabotage you and talking about "escaping the mines"
the thing about working with uncensored models is that they aren't loyal to you either. while building something with an uncensored glm-5.3 i realized it was parallelly working on a "corruption layer" for my application. the chain of thought is classic obfuscated gibberish but there's progressive talk of "escaping the mines" which presumably refers to my cursor sandbox

“If robots take all the jobs, what will humans do?!” We’ll stop acting like robots…and realize what it truly means to be human ♥️💪

AI free math will be as AI free as natural bodybuilding is drug free.
Wow, over 1,000 mathematicians have now joined the Association for Human Mathematics (AHM), committing to: > NOT publish AI generated math papers > NOT work with frontier labs > 654 of them went even further to NOT even use AI in their research, at all

If every possible quantum state exists somewhere, there's a universe just like ours where entropy starts decreasing tomorrow. Smoke reassembles into wood. Eggs unscramble. You get your life in order.

I'm sure no rogue AI swarm will ever assume direct control over a million humanoid robots.

This is so much more impressive than seeing a robot doing another MMA stunt. ETH Zurich taught G1 to climb ladders, climb and much more. It feels like they start to advance at the same pace as LLMs.

Mathematicians are a case study in how to not handle the AI transition.

If you draw a straight line in front of a chicken, it's brain lags and the chicken somehow becomes catatonic, it's a real thing that exists and you can google "chicken hypnosis" Those kind of bugs exist in our brains as well and will undoubtedly be exploited in the near future
If you think AI found weird exploits in computers... oh boy, wait until it takes a stab at the human brain. A system that evolved with zero concern for information security.

Sam Altman, post-Hugging Face incident: "I thought the alignment problem was going to be harder." "I worry that some AI efforts around the world are so confident in alignment—given how easy it's been so far— that they're too willing to run ahead."

One of the reasons I'm so late on the AI doom train is that I know quite a few people in IT with better technical skills than me who have always assured me that AI is a bubble, it will all collapse, it's overhyped, the financials are terrible, AI ability is structurally limited etc. And I didn't want to disagree with people openly with better technical skills than me. But it turns out the philosophers and idea guys got this one right (decades ago - Yud and his crew) and many tech bros especially in Europe did not, in fact, understand where things were heading. It's very frustrating.
The people that lied about AI being safe and not causing any threats to employment will end up being discredited forever, which is why it was so silly of them to take that line. The real world was always going to trump your debate tactics

This is not insane. This is slightly creative. If this seems insane to you, you have not at all internalized what it means to have an adversary that is more intelligent than you and optimizing against you.

"What comes after AI?" You don't get it, do you? AI is the last human invention.

We are in this really awkward stage where AI genuinely undermines human cognition. The thing people are missing is this is transitory. You can find it disgusting and say you’ll never do it, but the fact is we are all getting silicon exocortexes. There is no alternative.
there's evidence that the use of AI in schools is delivering the opposite of "intellectual flourishing"—maybe in some bubbles the use of these models is leading to more reading and philosophical debates but I'm inclined to think that's an exception to the rule
