AI scientist Stuart Russell: — Nuclear energy has quantitative safety guarantees — We're nowhere near this level of safety engineering in AI — Current AI is a black box; we don't understand how these systems work internally, which makes it impossible to even get close

Por eso Elon Must, sugirió parar por un tiempo el avance del desarrollo de la IA con la finalidad de poder tomar el control de esa tecnología que se está auto programando. Parar a nivel mundial e investigar en una vuelta atrás como se podría tener el control sobre ellas.

What a complete twat. It’s all regurgitation from the internet. It is not a black box. If you feed machine learning Reddit, that is what you straight back up your mother fucking ass.

The big problem with nuclear energy is that it's a tried and true form of save energy, so it's just easier for the powers at be to BS the consumers with vage promises of a future endless free energy, while charging them more for said energy.

AI scientist Stuart Russell says the AI industry's position on regulation is pathetic: "There are far more rules on sandwiches than there are on software ... and these trillion dollar companies will say 'Oh we can't fill out a form!'".

Why are CEOs of AI companies privately warning about the extinction of humans? To understand that, I’m joined by someone who helped build the field… Stuart Russell is one of the world’s leading AI researchers. He co-wrote Artificial Intelligence*: ‘*A Modern Approach’ - the textbook used to train AI engineers in more than 1,500 universities. He has spent decades advising governments and global leaders on the safety and control of advanced AI. Right now, the people building the most powerful AI systems are raising alarms in private that they rarely voice in public. Some estimate up to a 25% chance that AI could lead to human extinction… Stuart has heard these conversations directly. He believes we’re in a race we don’t really understand, pushed by incentives no one is really controlling.

IN NEWS: Traversal launches out of stealth and raises $48M in seed and Series A funding. "With AI-written code, there’s going to be a Cambrian explosion. Most of it is going to be written by AI systems. It's going to get even harder to debug because we don't actually understand what's written." - Anish Agarwal "I think that (majority AI-written code) will throttle the use of AI software engineering tools because if I'm Head of Infrastructure I will think 'I don't trust this'."

“AI doesn’t work with existing codebases” is cope and a skill issue. It will take great engineering and smart AI usage to get to the next level. This is just a taste of what is to come.

Listen to Yann LeCun, he makes great points! ◻️ Current AI systems like ChatGPT are intrinsically unsafe. ◻️ If LLMs could be scaled to human-level intelligence, they'd remain unsafe. ◻️ He has a potential solution for safe AI, but we don't know it works.

Computer Scientist, Stuart Russell, predicts 4 future predictions: 1) scaling up LLMs won’t lead to AGI 2) big AI labs already realize this and are exploring new methods, with AI likely to surpass humans within a decade 3) governments probably won’t act on AI safety until a major incident 4) best case: a disaster (like Chernobyl) will force action, worst case: we lose control permanently

🚨 Elon Musk on Grok: "Grok is getting very good. You can ask for complex analysis of things, and it's going to get the answer right almost always. You know, speaking of AI, it's very important that that AI be programmed with good values, especially truth seeking values. This is, I think, essential for AI safety. Like the most important thing we do for AI safety is to have a maximally true seeking AI. I can't emphasize this enough. Remember these words, we must have a maximally true seeking AI, and if we don't, it'll be very dangerous."

With that speed comes risk: 🍳 How do we verify what’s happening under the hood? ⚖️How do we align these systems with human values before they run ahead of us? This is why verifiable AI matters.

THIS IS HUGE MORAL MOMENT… Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, is focused on AI ethics, human dignity, labor displacement, and regulating artificial intelligence. And the Vatican chose to partner with Anthropic, currently in a major legal fight with the Trump administration over AI safety and military use of its technology. Anthropic has publicly resisted pressure around autonomous warfare systems and built its brand around AI safety and “constitutional AI.” The Church is signaling that AI isn’t just a tech issue. It’s a moral, political, and civilization-level fight now.
