AIs with advanced biological knowledge could quickly end up being superpowers in the international arena. Compared with other forms of WMDs, the production of bioweapons doesn't need a huge amount of industrial capabilities. An AI that had the know-how to make bioweapons wouldn't necessarily need to use them -... show more

LOL these dummies are scared of their own shadows-one day viruses, another day AI. Bioweapons are FAKE, they cannot or do not exist. The creators risk their own annihilation. Using a software garble AI to make bioweapons-faker beats fake. All bullshxx of fake science.

AI systems with advanced scientific reasoning raise difficult questions around openness and access control. The challenge is balancing beneficial research acceleration with misuse prevention.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak stated that Netanyahu is lying about achieving the goals of the war with Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran, and doesn't know how to end the hostilities. "Israel, at the political level, doesn't know - either doesn't know or doesn't want to - put an end to the war. They don't know how to end wars. We have been in this situation for two and a half years; Hamas is still there, despite the fact that they promised us six times that we were on the verge of 'complete victory'. Hezbollah is still there, despite the fact that they told us we had pushed them back decades. And the Iranian nuclear program and missiles are still there, despite the fact that they assured us that he [Netanyahu] had eliminated the existential threat."

.Palmer Luckey: China would love to subsidize and wipe out the American auto industry. “If China could wipe out our industrial capacity, they’d never need to worry about war with the US again—because they’d know we wouldn’t be able to get back in the game fast enough to matter.”

Elon Musk: “You’d think that if you’re going to be appointed as a judge, you have to have proven that you have an excellent knowledge of the law and that you will make your decisions according to the law. That’s what we assume should be a requirement. You’ve got to know what the law is, and then you need to make decisions in accordance with the law. Not vibes. You can’t be just vibing as a judge.”

Trump's donors make a huge amount of money out of Britain being a vassal state. We are enmeshed in US policies and we need to free ourselves to make a new place in the world.

Ahead of a dinner with a US senator, AI researcher Nate Soares (Nate Soares ⏹️) was told: "Don't give them any of the crazy crap. You know, play it cool." His friends opened with the concern that someone could use AI to cause a pandemic. The senator: "Oh, that's what you're worried about? I'm worried about these companies making AIs that can make smarter AIs, that can make smarter AIs, leading to recursive self-improvement that could kill literally everybody on this planet. And I'm worried that this could happen inside of three years." Source: Peter McCormack 🏴‍☠️🇬🇧🇮🇪's show

ELON: HERE ARE TWO REASONS WHY LIFE SHOULD BECOME MULTIPLANETARY “One is the defensive reason, where I think we want the light of consciousness to not be extinguished if something were to happen to Earth. And you know, in the case of the dinosaurs, they only had to worry about meteors and super volcanoes and other things. But for us humans, we actually have the power to destroy ourselves with nuclear weapons or some sort of crazy bioterrorism thing. So there's some danger that is not zero that could cause the end of life on Earth as we know it. That's the defensive reason to protect the future of consciousness. Then the other big reason, I think, is that it's exciting and it's adventurous and it's inspiring. It makes you think positively about the future. There need to be reasons to be inspired, reasons that move your heart and say yes, the future is going to be great. And I think, humanity going to Mars, even if you don't yourself want to go to Mars—and most people don't, just watch it, it's a tough gig, frankly. I think it would just be incredibly inspiring to the world in the same way that the Apollo program was inspiring to the world. We need things that make us excited and inspired about the future. And that would be one of them.” Source: Elon Musk, Interview with Ron Baron, November 4, 2022

The 2nd half of my 7 hour conversation with Carl Shulman is out! My favorite part! And the one that had the biggest impact on my worldview. Here, Carl lays out how an AI takeover might happen: - AI can threaten mutually assured destruction from bioweapons, - use cyber attacks to take over physical infrastructure, - build mechanical armies, - spread seed AIs we can never exterminate, - offer tech and other advantages to collaborating countries, etc Plus we talk about a whole bunch of weird and interesting topics which Carl has thought about: - what is the far future best case scenario for humanity - what it would look like to have AI make thousands of years of intellectual progress in a month - how do we detect deception in superhuman models - does space warfare favor defense or offense - is a Malthusian state inevitable in the long run - why markets haven't priced in explosive economic growth - & much more Carl also explains how he developed such a rigorous, thoughtful, and interdisciplinary model of the biggest problems in the world.

ELON MUSK: "We're starting off with an advanced technology fab here in Austin, and I'd like to thank Greg Abbott and the state of Texas for the support. So in the advanced technology fab, we will have all of the equipment necessary to make a chip of any kind logical memory, and we will also have all of the equipment necessary to make the masks. So in a single building, we can create a mask, make the chip, test the chip, make another mask, and have an incredibly fast recursive loop for improving the chip design. To the best of my knowledge, this doesn't exist anywhere in the world. We're really going to push the limit of physics in compute, and we're going to try a bunch of wild and crazy things, which you can do if you've got that fast iteration loop that I can't emphasize enough the importance of being able to make it, to test it and and then make and then change the design, do another one, and have that in a single building."

I had no idea some of the training that they have to do. Even the idea of being in a pool with one's hands tied behind my back would be enough to make me tap out! Did you know that - Only about 20% to 25% of candidates who start Navy SEAL training (BUD/S) make it through to become SEALs?
