Abundance just be repackaged free-market libertarian shit. The liberals that are pushing it are participating in the storied liberal tradition of courting reactionaries and fascists, thinking they are immune to the effects of intero-abyssal staring.

The comments are fun. Here's the pinned comment, authored by the video's author:

I'm not the best at thinking on the fly, so here are two key points I tried to make that got a little lost in the discussion:
1. I think our entire disagreement rests on Eliezer seeing increasingly refined AI conclusively making the jump to actual intelligence, whereas I do not see that. I only see software that mimics many observable characteristics of intelligence and gets better at it the more it's refined.
2. My main point of the stuff about real v. fake + biological v. machine evolution was only to say that just because a process shares some characteristics with another one, other emergent properties aren't necessarily shared also. In many cases, they aren't. This strikes me as the case for human intelligence v. machine learning.

MY CONCLUSION
By the end, I honestly couldn't tell if he was making a faith-based argument that increasingly refined AI will lead to true intelligence, despite being unsubstantiated OR if he did substantiate it and I was just too dumb to connect the dots. Maybe some of you can figure it out!

Here's my favourite:

"Ooh Ross making an interview!"

"Ooh Ross is making an interview Neil Breen of AI".

“It’s really hard to think about alignment. Maybe we need to redesign thinking” type shit

That’s like watching CPU vs CPU in a fighting or sports game. It’s pointless.

Iyo? Io? Ive? Nah, fuck all those guys. Give me Ivo, give me Amazo.

Ah, right. That. Reminds me of that old adage about monsters and abysses. "Fighting monsters and abyss staring is good and cool, actually. France is bacon." Something like that, don't fact check me.

My AllTrails told me bears keep eating his promptfondlers so I asked how many promptfondlers he has and he said he just goes to AllTrails and gets a new promptfondler afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding promptfondlers to bears and then his parks service started crying.
