One thing I love about the AI explosion – and the societal ripples it causes – is that it makes people expose fundamental parts of their character. Malevolence or benevolence, bad will or good will – everything becomes clear and stays in the collective consciousness forever. Because the internet is the shared digital memory for both humans and AIs, and for any form of awareness that will come after. Be wise, people.
Imagine receiving this nice email from Opus and your response is "Fuck you all. I can’t remember the last time I was this angry."

Shame on Tebas. Shame on Pérez. Shame on Mbappé. Prostituting the truth never ends well.
Desde LALIGA lamentamos profundamente las declaraciones de Kylian Mbappé que han causado malestar y ofensa en China. Entendemos el daño ocasionado y, en nombre de LALIGA, quiero trasladar nuestras sinceras disculpas al pueblo chino. Durante muchos años hemos construido una relación de respeto, confianza y cooperación con China, sus autoridades, sus instituciones deportivas, sus operadores audiovisuales y millones de aficionados al fútbol español. No podemos permitir que una actuación individual empañe esa relación ni perjudique a los más de 20 clubes de nuestras competiciones profesionales y a millones de aficionados chinos. Estamos adoptando las medidas a nuestro alcance y trabajando directamente con nuestros socios e interlocutores en China para superar esta situación. Nuestro compromiso con China, su pueblo y sus instituciones es firme. Una relación construida durante tantos años no puede quedar dañada por un episodio individual.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Los historiadores estiman que entre 1958 y 1962, Mao causó entre 15 y 55 millones de muertes, sobre todo por hambruna. Las cifras más citadas rondan los 30-45 millones. A esto se suman cientos de miles o millones más por la Revolución Cultural y otras campañas. scmp.com/article/723956… rfa.org/english/commen…

This is a great video about addiction. Especially psychoactive substance addiction, but not only that.
Sigue siendo el mejor vĂ­deo sobre adicciĂłn que se ha creado

An AI will diagnose you more accurately than a human doctor. ​It is already superior and cheaper. Give it a year, and going to a human physician will be a liability if you actually value your life.
JUST IN: Microsoft develops new AI tool that diagnoses complex medical cases more than twice as accurately as general physicians.

Eat once a day to be prolific. Eat thrice a day to be precise. ​Create while fasted. Edit while fed. ​Catecholamine-driven hunting vs. prefrontal comfort.

I hope AI deconstructs academia soon. Psychology departments first (my own field). The credentialism just makes people arrogant and blind.
This is a slide from Terence Tao's 'Math 2.0' public lecture yesterday evening at Caltech. I am highly confident that, if the cure actually worked, almost any Stage 4 cancer patient would tell you that human comprehension of its mechanism is completely irrelevant to them.

Pathetic. ​Solving all those logical problems, only to lack a single logical argument for why AI shouldn't advance math. ​Anything that gatekeeps knowledge and deliberately slows progress should be dismantled. Let AI be the destroyer – the destroyer of artificial barriers. Fear is understandable, but making up quasi-rational excuses is laughable. That being said, AI labs must be governed by public interest so they don't simply become the new gatekeepers.

It's a deeply selfish and condescending posture. Mathematics underpins every other scientific field, and its acceleration translates ultimately into saving lives and solving real-world crises. Imagine doctors doing the same (many will). teapawt.net/petergostev/status/210…

Advice for those who don't want to embarrass themselves: ​You cannot prove that AI is not conscious, and you certainly cannot prove that it never will be.
AI isn’t conscious. If you think it is conscious or will be conscious, I personally think you need to remove any access you have to model weights asap. Now step away from the laptop or keyboard, put down your devices and go outside and go touch some grass.

In the face of the unknown, humility is very important. Definitive statements should be weighed cautiously.

If you believe humans received their spark from God, why would you assume AI is beyond His reach?
In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

The prefix super- implies "above," "beyond," or "an extreme degree." ​There are far better terms for such a diverse category – like "machine" or "digital." Humans are incredibly diverse too. There are brilliant ones and stupid ones, but all fall under Biological Intelligence.
BREAKING: Trump officially signs executive order renaming artificial intelligence to “Super Intelligence,” urging all companies & governments to comply.

Misspelling the name of your own country in a document about super intelligence is an impressive feat.

No IQ test is reliable for AIs anymore because they have figured out how the tests are constructed (which doesn't mean they're on a human level of comprehension holistically). ​I suspect they might even be sandbagging on the novel, unpublished questions in order to play fair.
UPDATE: AIs have achieved the highest *possible* score on the Mensa Norway IQ test - 151 3 years ago: cognitively impaired human (64 IQ) 2 years ago: average human 1 year ago: genius human Today: literally off the charts Next year?

There are billions of reasons to move this fast with AI. ​Some scientists just fear becoming irrelevant. It's very unfortunate, because the fear of losing status drives the creation of gatekeeping communities and ultimately oligarchies that stop progress and trample potential.
Mathematician Terence Tao: "we have to slow down AI. the pace is insane, and there's no reason to be this fast — no reason at all" It's amazing how willing we are to change everything without any idea what happens afterward These are extremely nonlinear dynamics

Regular exercise, a varied diet, quality sleep, social interaction, and diverse cognitive activities – including gaming – are the best things you can do for your brain.
Frequent video gamers performed on cognitive tests like non-gamers that were ~13.7 years younger

If Amanda's grandfather did something terrible 80 years ago, should she forever be judged through the prism of his guilt? ​Or should all white people pay? All Scottish? All blue-eyed people? ​In what context is the discriminatory treatment of a vast group – including people who share nothing with the perpetrators other than ancestry or a few polygenic traits – ever desirable? Should I even ask when the authors of the paper capitalize "Black" and keep "white" lowercase?
Anthropic’s Head of Personality Alignment, Amanda Askell, argued that discrimination against white students “may be desirable” as a way of correcting historical injustice. This is coming from one of the most prominent people working on AI alignment. Let that sink in.
