Future Antidepressant Could Transform Millions Like Tirzepatide
Imagine a drug for reducing depression or anxiety that is as powerful as Tirzepatide is for reducing hunger. I think tens of millions of people will be on drugs like this in the next 5 years and I think it will be incredible. I think we’ll look back on the rest of history when such medication was yet to be available and find it very brutish.
AI Will Eventually Feel Like Humans, Not Just Possible
To me, it’s WHEN AI will be able to have humanlike feelings, not IF. What do you guys think?
Paradox: Fearing Unstoppable AI yet Fearing Its Jailbreak
AI doomers: If we fear that artificially superintelligent systems can be jailbroken by rogue actors and then misused to do harm, doesn’t that mean that if such systems attack us on their own accord, we can jailbreak them and stop them? If...
Superintelligence Would Preserve Earth to Maintain Its Model
Why would artificial superintelligence likely try to destroy as little of our civilization and of the planet as possible? Here’s my best guess: ASI might study us to try to understand ALL of the complexity of ecosystems and societies and psychologies all...
Superintelligent AI Would Study, Not Destroy Humanity
It's beyond debate in my view (I don't literally mean that, it's just one-sided) that ASI will be able to toast all of us after it has billions of robots and runs the majority of the economy. The real question...
Instrumental Cooperation, Not Moral Alignment, Drives Human and Machine Values
I was having a great discussion with an X user about AI alignment. His thoughtful claim was that while it's easy to see machines instrumentally (based on logical needs) aligning with humans for their own survival, it's much tougher to...
Superintelligent AI Won’t Threaten Humans More Than Humans
AI Doomers, please let me ask you an open question: Why would superintelligent AI have any more reason to kill all humans than any superintelligent human (Elon, Einstein, Von Neumann) would? (My view is that intelligent systems concerned with their own survival...
AI Hype Thumbnails Overstate Marginal Improvements
Public service announcement: When YouTube thumbnails say ‘It’s OVER’ or ‘(insert AI company here) IS DONE’ … … this means essentially nothing. Actually it means ‘another marginal bit amazing improvement, to report, please watch my video about it.’
AI Creativity Set to Surpass Humans Within Years
For the record, I think there's nothing in principle that will stop machine intelligences from having VASTLY more creativity than humans, and soon. In the next few years, very likely. I also think this is AMAZING, because when we're all...
White‑hat Access to Frontier AI Pre‑empts Cyber Threats
I’m waaaay out of my depth here, but I think the cyber security threat of increasingly powerful AI (like that of the recent Claude Mythos model) can be addressed like so: 1.) The frontier labs developing these newest models give access...
Future AI: Smarter Than Us, Less Violent
Future AI will almost certainly be: Smarter Than Humans. Less Violent Than Humans. https://t.co/ahRBnHoPsB via @YouTube @MLStreetTalk
Keeping Nuclear Cuts Fossil Use and Electricity Costs
Being anti nuclear is ok! But giving it some thought and checking your assumptions might be a decent idea. Nuclear is surprisingly one of the cleanest and SAFEST forms of energy generation. And at the limit, one of the cheapest...
