"@defendtheworld Yes its true that you cant actually factor significant size numbers without quantum error correction but thats sort of the point"

"Just a reminder: Dario and Daniela Amodei who started and run Anthropic literally lived in a rationalist group house with Holden Karnofsky who started the first formal EA organization. Daniela is now married to Karnofsky. Anthropic was started with EA money and was scaled with money that Sam Bankman-Fried stole from his investors to fund EA projects. Anthropic is not a normal company it is an EA front. The EA cult has started telling its members to distance themselves from EA but that doesnt mean you have to believe them. Anytime you see Dario Daniela Amanda Askell (Anthropic executive and ex"

"Anthropic was started with money from the Effective Altruism cult including a large amount of money stolen by Sam Bankman-Fried. It is run by central figures from the cult and exists to promote the cults ends. The central obsession of the cult is to gain complete control over the development of AI"

"Not really when your goal is to destroy your own industry. Anthropic is not a normal AI company. They were founded by the Effective Altruism cult funded by the Effective Altruism cult (including a ton of money from Sam Bankman-Fried that he embezzled from his own investors) and are run by Effective Altruists"

"This is a company that was started specifically to advance the interests of the cult. It was financed first with internally raised EA money and then with money that Sam Bankman-Fried embezzled for him his customers. It exists to be a tool of the cult it is not a normal company. That is completely different from a few people at Heritage deciding to open a machine shop or something not that Ive ever heard of such a thing happening"

"Last year I was having some health problems my doctors couldnt figure out. o1 which was then OpenAIs flagship model found a correct diagnosis and it was enormous practical help. Im not an isolated instance either. A number of studies including one by Britains NHS have verified that these things are far better at diagnostics than human doctors alone"

"The problem isnt vagueness. The problem is that the claim pushed by the Effective Altruism cult that AI is about to kill everyone on earth and that there is an urgent need to stop it is false. If Max Tegmark likes I will happily debate him on this topic. And I will win"

"Maybe Just because you can do quantum error correction sufficient for ten or twenty qubits or what have you doesnt mean being able to immediately do it for 8000 qubits. Theres still a lot of practical scaling to do. This is only vaguely indicative but even with no technical challenges other than scaling in place going from very small semiconductor based memories (a few bits) up to (say) 8kbits took quite a long time and that scaling problem was dramatically easier. So Im not particularly sanguine about the prospects of a quantum error correction breakthrough leading to immediate factoring of"

"@defendtheworld So anyway again: Ill start believing when I see the technology move on from factoring XX. And yes that means that an enormous amount of work will have already been done but it also will leave an enormous amount of work still to do"

"AI is not a weapons system. Last year for example o1 successfully diagnosed an illness I had that eluded my doctors. Furthermore Weizenbaum was wrong. For example if the US had declined to have nuclear weapons the Soviet Union would not only have still gained them but would have used them to blackmail the West. Just because a famous person said something doesn't mean we should agree with them"

"Yudkowsky claimed it was difficult to impossible to get an intelligent system to do anything you wanted. Current systems trained via ML do essentially everything we ask that they're capable of. If this does not merit an update in one's beliefs I don't know what could ever inspire such an update but none the less Yudkowsky and others have not changed their minds in spite of the overwhelming evidence"

"As for your invocation of "labs" all those "labs" are continuing to do AI research thus demonstrating through revealed preference that they don't believe it's too dangerous to work on. Many of them paid lip service to Yudkowskyian scenarios early on especially when those were dominating political discussion. None of the do now not even really Anthropic which is an embedded part of the EA cult"

"I've seen a lot more hype about quantum computers on X recently so I thought I'd do a long post about them. Executive summary: I don't believe quantum computing is coming any time soon. I think this because no progress has been made in many years on the most straightforward problem quantum computers can be used for which is factoring. The quantum factoring record has been around the number XX (yes XX X x 5) for a decade now and no obvious progress has happened lately. My reasoning is below. I'm going to break things down for people who don't know much math or computer science but this might"

"The American people dont really have much of a position on AI. In free response polling it isnt mentioned by a statistically significant fraction of the population. It does get mentioned a lot in push polls commissioned by the Effective Altruism movement but thats the expected"

"The cult imagines that they're going to get a worldwide treaty enforcing their desires to control all AI research and development. They will not get even a single country to stop AI research and development. What they might succeed in doing is getting R&D slowed down sufficiently that the West finds itself politically and militarily dominated by countries that do not share Western values or respect human rights. That would be tragic"
