@theodoraward@wandering.shop @davidgerard@circumstances.run can we be sure that these people aren't running a game? whether it's accidentally or by design, Yudkowsky's crowd ("Lighthaven" huh? gawd almighty) is serving to make opposition to the current tech-sector fanaticism about selling pseudo-intelligent "AI" look unhinged and easy to dismiss. There's genuine dangers that get shushed and scoffed at, because The Discourse™ has been trained to focus only upon catastrophic alternatives: either AI is gonna save the world or destroy it, as if that wasn't already true about nukes.
