Supreme Court chief justice warns of dangers of AI in judicial work, suggests it is “always a bad idea” to cite non-existent court cases
  • Crypto didn’t go anywhere? Sure it’s not completely eradicated but it’s way less in the mainstream now than it was at its height; and it basically has the rep of being a scam now.

    AI is currently used in far more real world use cases than crypto ever was. Maybe it doesn’t take off into infinity but it’s definitely going to be a lot more prevalent

  • The 'Effective Accelerationism' movement doesn't care if humans are replaced by AI as long as they're there to make money from it
  • Effective altruism is something that sounds good in principle, and I still think is good in general, though can kind of run out of control.

    Sam Bankman Fried was someone who at least claimed to follow this philosophy. The issue being that you can talk yourself into doing bad things (fraud) in the name or earning money that you would then donate much of.

    And more generally get into doing “long term” or “big picture” good while also doing a lot of harm. But hey the ends justify the means.

    Again, I think the principle of being a lot more calculated in how we do philanthropy is a huge good thing. But the EA movement has had some missteps and probably needs to be reigned in a bit.

    Funnily enough Wiki quotes Altman as one of the critics.

  • The 'Effective Accelerationism' movement doesn't care if humans are replaced by AI as long as they're there to make money from it
  • I don’t think it’s necessarily true that if we listen to “doomers” we get sensible policy. And it’s probably more likely we get regulatory capture.

    But there does exist a sensible middle ground.

    I actually think they are correct to bring up the potential upside as something we should consider more in the moral calculus. But the of course it’s taken to a silly extreme.

  • Driverless car startup Cruise's no good, terrible year
  • I mean, I think it’s a little different in that there’s tangible AI products that millions of people are already using?

    I have my own doubts about how the current architectures scale towards “general intelligence”, but seems like a very real breakthrough that is already producing at a significant level.

  • The 'Effective Accelerationism' movement doesn't care if humans are replaced by AI as long as they're there to make money from it
  • I’m not a proponent of this mindset but this seems like an obvious mischaracterization of the argument

    My biggest issues is that it seems to exist only in direct response to “doomers” as they love to say. And are maybe right to criticize, but having the whole thing just being a counter extreme doesn’t work either. And there’s lot of hand waving about technology and history and markets correcting themselves.

    But I’ve never gotten the impression that it’s just a cynical “I don’t care if AI fucks everyone as long as I make money.”

  • Transition in the same way it is for all software these days. The difference is the expectation of always on connections, constant telemetry, and continuous delivery of updates. That’s quite a bit different than the software model used for your 1981 Ranger. Though it’s not specific to cars.
