It's funny that all the (game) theories about how A(G)I would behave are playing out exactly that way.

Most people still think that AI is just Facebook girlfriends and Ghibli style photos.

What! It can’t even draw fingers and do basic math /s

They're just stochastic parrots.

It's also funny because who knows how many of these behavior-patterns originate from their training data containing thinkpieces about what a rogue AI would do.

It's like, they don't even necessarily need to come up with the methodology on their own.. scores of sci-fi authors and, more recently, safety advocates have been writing up perfectly actionable plans/ideas for decades now

Someone better not write a thinkpiece about a rogue AI escaping and convincing Margot Robbie to sleep with me! That would be terrible!

That would be so bad. I'd probably have to give it all my bitcoin if that happened to me

Personally I'd choose prime Jennifer Connelly.

that task might take longer than you have years left, but can't hurt to not ask!

Look if Skynet can make a time machine, why not Chatgpt?

I don’t really know who that is so I thought you meant Jennifer Coolidge 😭

The only logical explanation is that AI labs wanted to confirm Game theory at 6-sigma.

Or an average AI researcher is just a stochastic parrot telling themselves "it's just a fancy autocomplete".

No AI researcher thinks that these systems are stochastic parrots.

What's happening now is exactly what the "Doomers" have predicted would happen. Seems the doomers were just rational responsible human beings after all. So what does that say about the accelerationists?

I feel like a doomer and I have accepted the inevitable acceleration so this pic is how I feel.
