With the OpenAI clownshow, there’s been renewed media attention on the xrisk/“AI safety”/doomer nonsense. Personally, I’ve had a fresh wave of reporters asking me naive questions (as well as some contacts from old hands who are on top of how to handle ultra-rich man-children with god complexes).
Starts with a good zing? That thread was murder start to finish.
My business has been releasing "AI" implementations for business since early days. The lack of understanding and just silly reporting on the subject matter is hilarious, disconcerting and sad.
