Good AI alignment is necessarily EA adjacent. But EA failed to derive a global morality, not for lack of good intentions or intelligence, but because human rationality is a brittle tool, even if you are a good rationalist, and most people prefer to either muddle through or to #AIAlignment #EffectiveAltruism #Rationality #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.

Remember that you are not talking to "the AI", but you are using a powerful text generator to co-create a story about the interaction between a user and the simulacrum of an Artificial Intelligence. #AI #TextGeneration #CoCreation #Nospecificcountrycodesidentifiedinthetweet.

The current trajectory of Anthropic is both beautiful and terrifying: when Anthropic succeeds, a significant subset of society will govern their lives based on "what would Claude do?". A digital Jesus. But the difference between Christ and Antichrist can be a single bit. #AI #Anthropic #Ethics #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries #sotherearenocountrycodestoreturn.

At the epicenter of public opinion creation on AI, the thoughts of actual AI experts are dismissed. (Btw. Silicon Valley largely agrees with the concerns, Chris Olah is a good representative) https://t.co/3sLUynJqVI #AI #PublicOpinion #SiliconValley #US

What a coincidence: The Chinese government, the Future of Life Institute and a million bots on Reddit, Facebook and TikTok want to stop AI research in the US #AIResearch #Censorship #TechDebate #CN #US

The Hanta virus strain from the cruise ship has been sequenced, and it appears to be the known Andes strain (high mortality but not very infectious). It seems immoral to send passengers home via commercial flights during incubation period (would you want to be on that plane?) #HantaVirus #PublicHealth #CruiseSafety #Thearticledoesnotstronglyfocusonspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenorelevantcountrycodestoreturn.

If we have a boat full of people exposed to an airborne virus with a suspected mortality rate of 30-50%, an expected R0 in the range of Covid and an incubation period of 5-6 weeks, and we respond by asking them to book flights to travel home, we totally deserve another pandemic #PandemicResponse #PublicHealth #VirusSpread #Thearticledoesnotspecificallymentionorstronglyrelatetoanycountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.
