"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Oh, sorry, I misremembered the link as saying ACX, but you're right, it does say Scott Alexander.

Loved Unsong, I'm sorry you have had bad experiences with rationalists/EAs. :/ Yudkowsky is pretty weird and egotistical, still enjoyed his writing though. Here is a good essay defending EA, just basically reminding you that fundamentally EA is about convincing rich people to donate to life-saving charities; I don't really see why this would be harmful. The biggest criticisms of EA I see are "well there shouldn't be rich people!" -- like, I agree, but, how is that relevant?

Different essay, but I love this quote:

Something else happened that month. On November 11, FTX fell apart and was revealed as a giant scam. Suddenly everyone hated effective altruists. Publications that had been feting us a few months before pivoted to saying they knew we were evil all along. I practiced rehearsing the words “I have never donated to charity, and if I did, I certainly wouldn’t care whether it was effective or not”.
