I mean maybe when tweets were 140 characters you could claim they
weren’t big enough to contain your proof, but now you have no excuse,
and no right to criticise Big Yud unless you can prove to his
satisfaction that he’s safe from bad robot and will live forever thanks
to good robot.
These systems leave no room for humanity, yet they define our daily
lives. When I began rebuilding my life this summer, I painfully
discovered that they have no time for people who have fallen off the
grid — such nuance eludes them. I came out publicly as transgender and
began hormone replacement therapy while in prison. When I was released,
however, there was no quantifiable history of me existing as a
transwoman. Credit and background checks automatically assumed I was
committing fraud. My bank accounts were still under my old name, which
legally no longer existed. For months I had to carry around a large
folder containing my old ID and a copy of the court order declaring my
name change. Even then, human clerks and bank tellers would sometimes
see the discrepancy, shrug and say “the computer says no” while denying
me access to my accounts.
>You're being too charitable, which is also a bias. This wasn't a neutral "of these two risks, here's what I think their relative probabilities are", it was an obvious putdown of people who visibly care about the second risk.
So, you know how when people are talking about climate change, and some conservative in the back chimes up with "the real problem is that liberals will use 2 degrees of heating as an excuse to push big government", and sure, more expensive fuel *is* bad, but it's like the guy doesn't even realise that climate change exists beyond another card to play for near-term political battles?
That, but for AGI risk.
Yeah, but now it's all automated so the people responsible for the administrative work of randomly fucking people over can leave their jobs to become Python coders with five years of experience and/or homeless (which is good because then we can sell them million dollar bachelor apartments).
It's the perfect system. If you disagree then you're probably a luddite and/or a socialist. Also the Nazis were socialists.
I’m beginning to think Yud doesn’t actually believe this shit, and
it’s just a way to get LessInformed people to donate to MIRI, thereby
enriching him and enabling him to spew more BS like this (the cycle
continues).

From Chelsea Manning’s op ed. But sure, Roko’s Basilisk is a much more pressing issue.
