Y'all see why I can't stand these horrific men going off about the so-called "existential risks of AI" while simultaneously telling us everyone should be replaced by "AI"? One of the best grifts of the 21st century.

@timnitGebru
The point is: It WAS an existential risk for #musk company BEFORE his #grok was working and WHILE slowing down #competition by #regulations was helping him to improve his company's standing.

NOW, with his #attacks on federal administrations and institutions it's not a threat, but a tool for him to gain more #influence, extract more money from #tax payers and redirect it into his #purse.

@timnitGebru Musk wants to regulate AI to control it for himself

@timnitGebru I encountered a lot of this when I was younger and foolish and poking around on the Eleutherai Discord. People in the "AI ethics" channel would tell me point-blank that they believed that the existential risk was so great that saving a few billionaires' lives would be worth condemning the rest of humanity to death, and worrying about AI bias was beside that point.

@timnitGebru backhanded way of saying what they really mean because their tell is projection.

#Technofeudalists and the perceived #AI threat incongruence

(1/n)

I'm surprised that you as an #AI and #TESCREAL expert See a discrepancy in this. For the morbid and haughty minds of the #Longtermists line #Elon, there is no discrepancy, IMHO:

1) At least since Goebbels, fascists offen acuse others of what they have done or are about to do themselves; or they deflect, flood the zone, etc. That on a tactical/communications strategy level.

2) More...

@HistoPol I don't see a discrepancy and haven't said that, only that I can't stand the men who do this. I've written and said elsewhere about how these claims are two sides of the same coin though.

Thanks for the clarification.
I agree.
From a Technofeudalist/Longtermist perspective, it makes total sense...

(... as I had just explained in detail in a thread that had cost me 25 min. and that I seem to have just list as the #FUTO keyboard lost my 2nd last entry in the clipboard despite mine having turned on "Clipboard History." 🤬)

@timnitGebru he couldn't buy his AI so he is trying to control it through the government that he did buy?

@timnitGebru “saying that the technology is the biggest risk that we face as a civilization." I thought it was the number of people on earth and that’s why he keeps having kids?

@Palleas He wants to bless us with his superior genes as the world is having less people with superior genes like his.

A 𑐴𑐶𑐟𑐶 (hiti) is an ancient Newah urban water feature: a stepped, sunken courtyard with waterspouts and a central pool. These are fed through a remarkable network of pipes, reservoirs, and irrigation systems drawing water from mountain springs dozens of kilometres away. Every day, hundreds of people from the neighbourhood come to draw water, bathe, and exchange news. They are a unique and precious feature of Newa urban architecture through which neighbourhoods are created.
