Sadly Youtube has been actively blocking Invidious instances for a while now. These days it only works for me ~50% of the time.
The fact that this comment was grey from downvotes when I found it is the most HN thing on the planet.
Thank you for this. The greed-fueled magical thinking around AI is absolutely out of control at the moment.
I made a reply about rolling my eyes to this comment that got flagged (rightly so); this was unproductive and impulsive and I admit I shouldn't have done it. I'm not sure how HN handles replies to flagged comments, so…
I'd've liked very much to give you one, but your blanket dismissal of what I consider to be a very important step for the field of AI ethics as the work of "Innovation Sponges" reveals that we fundamentally disagree…

Dude, the core tenet of this forum is making a good-faith [1] effort to really understand the fantastically complex issues at play here, and then to communicate about them honestly in a collaborative, rather than…
Sorry, but what on earth does any of this actually mean? You appear to be arguing in unequivocal favor of a short-termist, purely profit-driven way of doing business, which is a viewpoint that, to me, needs a whole lot…
If you find it crippling, you haven't at all understand what he meant. It's just gratitude. Nothing "crippling" about that.

Oh no, a slippery slope of compassion! To wit, the long title of the bill: "An Act to make provision for an Animal Sentience Committee with functions relating to the effect of government policy on the welfare of animals…
I take your point, but this feels pretty defeatist to me. I don’t personally believe that “we have not historically done this well, if at all” is a good reason to stop trying to manage the negative externalities of…
Oh— I see now you were making reference to a comment I made in reply to someone else. Yes, that was something that I said and I stand by it. I do not see any reason to be concerned about AI as an existential threat at…
I didn’t dismiss anything. I didn’t say anything was alarmist. Please don’t put words in my mouth. You didn’t say anything about societal problems. You wondered if the growth will ever stop, and I tried my best in good…
I cannot imagine a scenario where it doesn’t drop off. The massive recent improvements in GPT’s performance are a result of giving the model enormous numbers of parameters and a wealth of training data. That’s it.…
What sort of professions? I think it might really help with writers’ block. But “handicapped without it” in “many professions”? Without detailed support, this reads as a rather absurd and zealous statement.
If you’re in an open powerboat, your best chance would be to apply full throttle and get the hell away from the storm as fast as you can, like the parent commenter did. If you manage to find yourself in a lightning…
Good use case! We’re still decades from AGI in my opinion, and the Chicken Little types ought to pace themselves, is all I’m saying.
Oh, please. Its not that we don’t wish to ever hear about the technology again. We’re just sick of the current wave of breathless, manic speculation from nincompoops engaged in magical thinking.
