Haha I had that drafted and decided that, in the spirit of the post, I’d write something less good
Someone tell Aella her neurons are downregulating, maybe she’ll start showering again

It’s honestly surprising they had women on the board in the first place.
Pfft. Real heads know that the only way to figure this out is with a prediction market
One of the languages you can learn is “incorrect japanese”
There should be a cultist simulator mod where the principles are the TREACLES components. Expeditions are deep dives where you fend off scientific consensus to find contrarian blog posts as relics. Followers can take damage from information hazards and must be healed by adderall or nootropics.
Like any IRL situation it’s probably more pertinent to read the room and be present, rather than theorycraft about what might happen.
That being said, my gut says this: there are going to be a large share of TREACLES peoples in the crowd. Here’s my argument.
- The crowd will be mostly EA people.
- Anyone in EA willing to go to an EA hosted talk about AI X risk is probably beyond the eye deworming charity phase of EA.
This isn’t the scientology personality test phase of EA, it’s the private seminar phase before they teach you xenu phase, except their proselytisers aren’t nearly as charismatic/well trained in conversion.
I think the most viable targets for any detreacling would be any friends or tagger-ons to the event. Sorta like how if you are arguing on the internet, you don’t really hope to change the other party’s mind; you’re more hoping to sway anyone who comes along and reads the thread.
I’d go, personally, if only for the spectacle.
As we look towards the future, ChatGPT-4 serves as a stark reminder that overly cautious algorithms can do more than just filter content; they can strip away the very essence of what makes an AI tool valuable and interesting. Let’s hope the next iteration finds a better balance, so users seeking engaging conversations won’t be met with a fearful machine that dances around anything of substance.
OP's title condenses the article's sentiment well, holy shit. The author should just go back to AI dungeon and RP as a fascist in a fantasy land and leave us all out of it.
Oh, they're quaking in those VC boots. That's what'll set off the Big One.
Is it crazy that I don't think that the guy is the shooter? I don't see the EA crowd, famous for bootlicking, being up to the task of CEO assassination.
