Book recommendation:
Life 3.0
Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

by Max Tegmark

I'm biased because I'm a scientist, and this was written by a physicist. Super powerful stuff about #AI

Interesting podcast if you want to keep up-to-date with the #Physics world (of which I’m a long term novice!)

Most recent episode on the ‘Universal Connector’ with favorite #DavidDeutsch

"Could we build a machine that can carry out any task? The meta-framework "Constructor Theory" suggests we might be able to make such a universal constructor. David Deutsch discusses the implications of such a machine for physics, for the economy, and for humans. Deutsch also talks about problems in funding for fundamental physics”

#Musk & #Netanyahu returned to the broadcast for a panel discussion about #AI w/the MIT scientist #MaxTegmark & #GregBrockman, the president of #OpenAI, the co behind #ChatGPT & the image generator #DALLE. What happened next received scant media coverage, because reporters were there to see a #RightWing magnate hobnob w/a right-wing world ldr, not to listen to the 2 discuss AI w/some nerds.

The #TESCREALists declare their #AI #pause open letter to be a success. #TESCREAList #MaxTegmark says: "The letter has had more impact than I thought it would. [...] I felt there was a lot of pent-up anxiety around going full steam ahead with AI, that people around the world were afraid of expressing for fear of coming across as scare-mongering luddites."

And indeed it has been a success; the same #GuardianNewspaper article from which I lifted the quote above goes on to use the laughable #TESCREAL posture of #hyperintelligent #AI to storm past the very real current societal harms of #AI as outlined by @timnitGebru, @emilymbender and others, completely muddying the water.

"Fears around AI development range from the immediate, such as the ability to generate deepfake videos and mass-produce disinformation, to the existential risk posed by super-intelligent AIs that evade human control or make irreversible and highly consequential decisions."

That was the intent of the letter all along

The #AI pause letter signed by #ElonMusk has fake signatures, and has been denounced as unhinged.

That's physicist #MaxTegmark's reputation buggered. His #FutureOfLife institute behind the open letter should have known better, and its incompetence will hinder credible criticism of AI/Machine Learning.

Yet another Nazi-collaborator exposed.

Makes me sick I bought Tegmark's books and even gave them as presents.
