AI Doom: I would like to see super smart people like @pmarca and @ESYudkowsky going at this AI issue with @sama and others giving color commentary. I personally don’t understand either @pmarca or @ESYudkowsky’s positions yet enough to know whether I agree or disagree with them.

I will say one thing. I don’t understand how anyone is *simply* optimistic, except as a coping/profit strategy. I see the possibility of optimism…but it is a long shot. This is going to destabilize the world’s current economic system on a crowded planet with a lot of crazy toys.

What I don’t enjoy is one neurotypical person interviewing a neurodivergent person like @ESYudkowsky. They are so unused to the behavior patterns, that the whole interview can become “Wait! Did I hear you right?!?” Which is not what we need. It’s a bad use of very smart folks. 🙏
@LughSpear @ESYudkowsky Exactly. Let’s get neurodivergent interviewers for neurodivergent subjects with something to say. Let’s not burn it all on “Don’t you think that is a bit gloomy?” Or “Aren’t you being arrogant?” or “Ok. But back in the real world…” It’s so stupidly embarrassing for everyone.

We had no experience in having 4 planes simultaneously highjacked by suicidal jihadis. So it wasn’t worth worrying about. We hadn’t had a worldwide pandemic w/ lockdowns for ages so it wasn’t going to happen. We banished volatility in the Great Moderation so that wasn’t a risk.
@JaredBoone12 I’m sure there are voices at State and within the IC that are worried about nukes.

Putin has *never* used nukes (or other unconventional WMD weapons) in war before. In my estimation, that’s very important to remember when trying to figure out to whom we now should turn for our analyses. As per the above. #MSM
