“Many other catastrophic panics in the past have been just fearmongering,” he added.

Heyyy, he’s self aware!

“I agree with president Trump’s tweet that global warming doomsday scenarios were overplayed,” he told Fox’s Sean Hannity. “It’s a very slow process. We’re talking about doomsdays — completely absurd.”

”The reason this is unique is AI is moving so incredibly quickly, we won’t have time to respond to it before it’s too late.”

The speed of the event doesn’t disqualify its seriousness? Climate change is still a very big deal even if it’s moving slower than the awakening of the Robot God. Also, AI developing “incredibly quickly” is still mostly bullshit because we STILL haven’t gotten anything the big tech companies promised

Gotta say, the climate change denier/AI doomer combo never ceases to baffle me

Update 2: AI 2027 tracker updated again, we are still going slower than the predicted pace also the graph is basically unreadable unless confidence intervals are turned off

Looked at AI 2027 tracker again and the way they grade the predictions is weird 80% accuracy is somehow both confirmed accurate and only partially accurate? huh?? why??

The same authors did publish AI 2040 yes

They started backpedalling a fair bit earlier (at the beginning of 2026)

AI 2027 and AI 2040 both had it so I guess

100% perfect summary

Great. Space colonialism. Nick Bostrom yapped about it too. Ughhhh why can’t we just focus on the planet we already damn have

things that should be taken seriously (e.g. space property rights)

I don’t know man, I think there are bigger fish to fry then who owns what in outer space

He revealed that he and his friend had written a musical based on Harry Potter and the methods of rationality.

Dear God

Telling people that the guy AI superintelligence guy also posted a Harry Potter self-insert fanfic to push his beliefs and recruit people to his ideology is a huge bombshell to drop on someone

Believe it or not this is meant to spread their message and make people take them seriously

Completely unsurprised. They always had that vibe

Bostrom’s conclusion is that we should colonize the universe as soon as possible

because colonialism has never caused any damage to any kind of ethnic group or environment whatsoever and has never resulted in any kind of horrific crime such as genocide and slavery. no sirree!

Ah, that one AI2027 blog post where they tried to convince people not to commit terrorism by opening the article by talking about how man’s fate may be sealed in two years time. Incredibly smart idea.

This new effort follows President Donald Trump’s National Security Presidential Memo 7, which instructs the Department of Justice to target anyone holding “anti-American,” “anti-Christian,” and "anti-capitalism” beliefs.

well this whole read was a reminder about how much of an AI bootlicker Trump is.

So apparently using the allegedly world-ending machine to tell you who to vote for is perfectly fine and dandy?

This guy was the main writer of AI 2027 mind you, how can he be so stupid? (don’t answer that, we all know already)

Huh, interesting. Those slogans are also rather “interesting”

”we need better messengers”

Is he realising that showing up to a debate in a sparkly fedora and goggles is not going to make people take him seriously?

The marketing mentions “a sprinkling of AI experts” even though Yud’s position on Twitter is that he is not an AI expert.

wait really? He actually said he’s not an expert?

Jeez, I hope you’re okay. Do you have any thoughts on the uptick in rationalism and its influence (thanks to AI)?
