The funniest thing was the "reasons that this thesis might not be true" and the reasons were infinitely simpler and arguably stronger than the points for it that bordered on schizophrenic like: "We don't live in a simulation" and "we won't create a paperclip maximizer"

This is unironically the most interesting accidental showcase of their psyche I've seen 😭 all the comments saying this is a convincing sim argument when half of the points for it are not points

Usually their arguments give me anxiety but this is actually deluded lol

i'm not sure if AI is a bubble that will pop no matter if we do or don't get imminent AGI so probably the 2nd one but he still has a while longer of having to play the rational intellectual

LW are the fundamentalist baptists of AI not even Russian Orthodox lol

Everytime I get freaked out by AI doom posts on twitter they're always coming from a LW goon who's street preaching about how we need to count our Christmases :< i just saw one that got my nerves on edge and checked their account and they had "printed HPMOR" in their bio and I facepalmed

True but specifically was referring to researchers since most of the researchers repping extinction risk are LW or yud influenced (Musk, Hinton, etc)

Kinda interesting that it's focused on smaller scale risks like malicious data instead of ahhh extinction ahhh

Is the whole x risk thing as common outside of North America? Realizing I've never seen anyone from outside the anglosphere or even just America/Canada be as God killingly Rational as the usual suspects

Mfw my doomsday ai cult attracts ai cultists of a flavor I don't like

Not a fan of yud but getting daily emails from delulus would drive me to wish for the basilisk
