The Human Watch vs AI
@HumanWatchVsAI
Exposing AI’s societal harms, such as job losses, erosion of freedoms, and ideological lies. Human dignity is not for sale.

i don't think we are ready for ASI
we all expect our models to be dumb in all the right ways

@WallStreetApes Soon the AI will take over these drones.
English
Michigan residents will now be under drone surveillance
Oakland County Board of Commissioners voted to APPROVE a very controversial new drone program for law enforcement
Residents speak out “We don't want to be watched — the infrastructure of mass surveillance. The very idea is an appalling invasion of our privacy and our civil liberties, and it is the exact opposite of public safety”

@VraserX Meaning does not require work, it requires freedom, which work can provide at least in principle. So take away work, then you depend in handouts and lose control over how much stuff you can have — which is your prerogative as a free agent.

One brutal possibility is that AI will not destroy meaning.
It will expose how much of what we called meaning was just pressure.
Deadlines
Bills
Competition
Fear
Survival
If those start fading, what part of you remains when the treadmill stops?

Steven Soderbergh says the backlash from his comments about AI in filmmaking is "mystifying to me":
"There are some people that I have absolute love and respect for that refuse to engage with it. That's their privilege. But I'm not built that way. You show me a new tool. I want to get my hands on it and see what's going on."

Dow Chemical CEO is firing 4500 Americans. Sad, but the harsh truth is every man is for himself. He doesn’t care if the lives he is ruining are American or Indian. He is simply taking money away from their families and giving it to his. Don’t be a fool and never buy into the corporate “We are one family” BS, which will blindside you and end up with you being walked out by Security when your and your family’s livelihood becomes too expensive and gets in the way of your CEO earning more bonuses for his family.

**DOW CHEMICAL JUST SLAUGHTERED 4,500 WORKERS WHILE PROMISING SHAREHOLDERS "AT LEAST $2 BILLION IN ADDITIONAL EARNINGS" FROM THE BLOOD** 13% of their entire workforce disappeared this week Not because they're losing money. Because killing jobs makes the stock price go up. CEO Jim Fitterling told analysts the cuts will "unlock significant value" while chemical engineers with 15 years experience got escorted out by security I'm hearing the severance packages are fucking brutal. 4 weeks for people who've been there a decade. Sources saying they're moving half the R&D operations to India where PhDs work for $18k annually Dow posted $45 billion in revenue last year but apparently paying American chemists is "inefficient resource allocation" The company that literally invented Agent Orange is now gassing their own workforce These are people who make the polymers in your phone. The chemicals in your water treatment. The compounds that keep airplanes from falling out of the sky. But Jim needs his $2 billion so shareholders can buy more boats Meanwhile every chemical engineering program in the country is telling kids "STEM is recession-proof" The math is simple: 4,500 families destroyed = $444,444 in "additional earnings" per severed head If you work anywhere that makes anything physical, you're next The entire manufacturing knowledge base of America is being sold to the lowest bidder while executives count their options

It may sound funny, but AI/robots will also threaten the job of sex workers. Nobody says their job is something to be encouraged, but for many it is the only job that they can go for because of their life circumstances. AI will close that door for them.

@MrEwanMorrison With or without AGI, AI still poses a significant risk to humanity.
English
There is no AGI. There is no known path to AGI.
All talk of AGI is hype. Talk of 'selling AGI' is BS.
Even criticism of companies who claim they are on the path to reaching AGI is hype & BS.
Anti-AI people have to learn this, or they will unwittingly take part in the hype.

OpenAI backing a bill to limit liability for catastrophic AI harm shows how weak self-governance really is. If responsibility goes down while capability goes up, that is not safety. It is deregulation by another name.

@rohanpaul_ai The race to be the most rambunctious marketer of AI is on, and it will land in bust (hopefully).

WSJ: OpenAI forecasting $121B in AI research hardware costs for 2028 by itself.
Even though sales are expected to double that year, losses would still hit $85B, and the company does not expect overall profits until the 2030s.
Anthropic’s outlook shows the same steep upward path in training costs, just at a lower scale, and both companies seem to reach early profitability only if compute spending is ignored.

Have some cash handy for emergencies. Cyberattacks powered by AI are making banking and ATM disruptions more likely. That is not what "crazy" doomers are saying. In a CBS interview to air tomorrow, IMF chief Kristalina Georgieva said, "The risks have been growing exponentially. Yes, we are concerned. We are very keen to see more attention to the guardrails that are necessary to protect financial stability in the world of AI."

You do understand that you can hire someone to do stuff for you?
People in the AI age think they need to do it all on their own.
Super retarded if you ask me.
It's not how society works.
If you keep going on like that it's you destroying yourself, our culture and society as a whole.

James Cameron says in this video that AI is going in a direction scarier than what he depicted in his move The Terminator 40 years ago … reality vs sci-fi.

@cb_doge Not big fans of ChatGPT here. But let’s also be fair. In a sense, even a pen manufacturer can be similarly accused of aiding in a crime (eg, a killer writes down his plan on paper with a pen!)

@MarioNawfal Maybe we should heed the warnings instead. It is comforting to think that they are exaggerating the threat — that way we don’t have to do anything.

David Sacks: Anthropic Is Great at Two Things, Releasing Products and Scaring People
“Anthropic has proven that it's very good at two things. One is product releases.
The second is scaring people.
And we've seen a pattern in their previous releases where, at the same time they roll out a new model or a new model card, something like that, they also roll out some study showing really the worst possible implications of where the technology could lead.”

🚨LEAKED: ANTHROPIC BUILT AN AI SO GOOD AT HACKING THEY'RE AFRAID TO RELEASE IT... A data leak just revealed Anthropic is testing a new model called "Claude Mythos" that they say is "by far the most powerful AI model we've ever developed." The leak happened when draft blog posts and internal documents were left in a publicly accessible data cache. Fortune and cybersecurity researchers found nearly 3,000 unpublished assets before Anthropic locked it down. The model introduces a new tier called "Capybara," larger and more capable than Opus. According to the leaked draft: "Compared to our previous best model, Claude Opus 4.6, Capybara gets dramatically higher scores on tests of software coding, academic reasoning, and cybersecurity." Here's where it gets interesting. Anthropic says the model is "currently far ahead of any other AI model in cyber capabilities" and "presages an upcoming wave of models that can exploit vulnerabilities in ways that far outpace the efforts of defenders." In other words, it's so good at hacking that they're worried about releasing it... Their plan is to give cyber defenders early access first so they can harden their systems before the model goes wide. Anthropic blamed "human error" in their content management system for the leak. Also exposed: details of an invite-only CEO retreat at an 18th century English manor where Dario Amodei will showcase unreleased Claude capabilities. Source: Fortune

Sam Altman, per this extract from his essay below, is subtly playing a scaremongering tactic … Let us develop AGI first before China does. Not clear how China won’t be able to develop AGI anyways, even as #2.

The best argument (if there is any) as to why humanity deserves to be dethroned by AI is the humanity’s development of AI, a tech that we knew could undo us and yet we stupidly developed full-throttle anyways.
