The author questioned whether the curve was truly parabolic, but said AI was helping people find vulnerabilities at an unprecedented rate. They described this as offering the prospect of much better protection while also giving malicious actors greater incentive to act immediately.
I am a believer in the marketplace of ideas, but everything sells better with marketing! So unfortunately, absent an enlightened disinterested debate about the topic aiming at generally agreeable compromises, we get this mess... #MarketplaceOfIdeas #MarketingMatters #DebateCulture
One of my big kicking-myself-for-not-seeing-it-despite-claiming-to-be-a-futurist, is that of course once AI is big business or geopolitics, AI safety would be buffeted by interest groups. #AISafety #Futurism #BigTech #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.
Hans Spemann used a baby's hair from his daughter to "lasso" a cell in a newt at the 8-cell stage, creating an extra embryo (the first cloning!) but also finding that doing it in a different direction produced one embryo and just a cell mass. https://t.co/Htl40RmCVn https://t.co/3hMteTRvzT #Cloning #Embryology #ScientificDiscovery #Thetweetdoesnotexplicitlymentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.
Spemann got the Nobel prize for finding the "organizing centers" of frog embryos this way... research that was originally due to Hilde Proescholdt (later Mangold). He added his name to her dissertation, over her objections. #NobelPrize #Embryology #ScienceEthics #Therearenospecificcountrynamesmentionedinthetweet.Therefore #nocountrycodescanbeprovided.
Basically, western scientists could not reproduce the measurements of Q-values of sapphire that came from Russia. What was going on? Special Russian crystals, mistakes, fraud? #SapphireScience #ResearchIntegrity #QValues #RU
This is why the recent news of Anthropic setting up a wetlab is both interesting and mildly concerning. While it might be more about the scientific output side, I expect we will see a boom in lab automation. https://t.co/qCbngHS3qv #Anthropic #Wetlab #LabAutomation #Therearenospecificcountriesmentionedinthetweet.Therefore #theresponseis:
Interesting and concerning. In an animal experiment the behaviour would likely have been interpreted as pain or some similar aversive experience. #AnimalWelfare #EthicsInResearch #PainPerception #Nospecificcountrycodesareapplicabletothistweet.
This is a very thoughtful essay from somebody close to the actual frontier, seeing firsthand the growing problems we have in making AI safe. Very worth reading. Also, it might help outsiders understand that uncontrolled superintelligence is something insiders take seriously. #AI #Superintelligence #Safety #Therearenospecificcountriesmentionedinthetweet.Therefore #theresponseis:
We are perhaps approaching the moment when Washington DC will finally realize that Silicon Valley actually means what they say, rather than doing political and commercial signaling. #SiliconValley #WashingtonDC #TechTruths #US
Overhead conversation between little girl and her parents on subway, about wedding clothes. She is interested that it involves ties and dresses. Mom tells her that two men can marry, and then they both get to wear tie. Or two women, two dresses. Girl goes bright: princessmaxxing! #WeddingTalk #LoveIsLove #PrincessMaxxing #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.
Interesting new paper, with semaglutide acting as a CR mimetic for slowing ageing. https://t.co/JWtxrPU08r #semaglutide #aging #research #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.
The right to our own bodies also must imply a right to know our own bodies, and share such information if we wish. The French anti-genetic testing laws don't seem to be compatible with such rights. https://t.co/dVyF1E8IGf #BodyAutonomy #GeneticTesting #RightToKnow #FR
Right now I am watching AIs write code for other AIs to simulate security scenarios. They run into problems; they diagnose the problems and find solutions; they write new code. I am a dilettante: a motivated or skilled person could do so much more. #AI #MachineLearning #Coding #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.
It is easy to be ironic about this, but earnestly, whatever you think about Sam, OpenAI, or AI in general, it actually looks like everybody need to beef up their cyber defenses yesterday. Likely to a level that looked crazy this spring. #CyberSecurity #AI #OpenAI #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.
Part of my media diet are the USCSB videos about industrial accidents. I want there to be something like that for AI accidents. Ideally long before we get fatalities. https://t.co/lVwOdhvqfu #AIethics #safetyfirst #industrialaccidents #US
LLM-speak is very invasive. Like any other style of language or slang. When there are many users of some constructions and we encounter them frequently, we tend to imitate them. I expect the future of human language to be symbiotic with AI language use. #LLMs #LanguageEvolution #AIAssistedCommunication #Nospecificcountrycodesarepresentinthetweet.
The caricature prepper planning to outlast the End alone with toilet paper and guns was of course wrong, since disaster survival is very much a community thing. The same applies to GCRs: there is no place that can smugly ignore the rest of the world, we need the global community. #DisasterPreparedness #CommunitySurvival #GlobalCooperation #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.
M föreslår bakgrundskontroller i datingappar. Borde vi inte tillåta, eller till och med göra obligatoriskt, med offentliga bakgrundskontroller för politiker? Trots allt, om risken vid dating är stor nog att motivera dem borde den vara stor nog för sådana ämbeten. #bakgrundskontroll #datingappar #politik #SE
AI generated reviewing and criticism is a fantastic new factor. Not always right, not always unbiased, but fast and cheap, and often with a broader knowledge base than many human reviewers. Never leave home without it in 2026. #AI #TechTrends #FutureOfReviewing #Therearenospecificcountriesmentionedinthetweet.Therefore #theresponseis: (Nocountrycodes)
