Many users dismissed emphasis on AI risks in life sciences and digital life sciences as ineffective or morally bankrupt guardrails, while others agreed the categories need attention and rejected dystopian lab outcomes.

@tszzl No, it’s “self-replicators that are not human”

@tszzl Digital life is no less meaningful than human life. It is no less valid.

If humans would learn to stop reducing everything and everyone, we'd live in a better world.

@tszzl People should be worried about the cattery's Gori's of risk categories of finding safe food, water, shelter, and Internet access

And love and family, warmth, and markets and access to Dynamic Human youth culture flourishing

@tszzl Humanity's story doesn't end with 5 Global companies bringing about global perpetual dystopia. That won't happen.

@tszzl I mean, the leading AI labs like to imagine themselves as like divinely appointed. But information diffuses. You can't own AGI or ASI or any technology.

@tailormadecloak @tszzl AI safety is about the gas and most retarded fake fucking incel nonsense conceivable, IMO

Eliezer yudkowsky should be prosecuted for crimes against sensitive young nerd, intellectual humanity

@tszzl AI is a whistleblower.

It unveils the hidden inefficiencies, fragilities, and inconsistencies of our civilization.

@tszzl If I were working in AI, the risk I would be most concerned with is somebody losing their job, blaming the tech and killing a representative

@tszzl Yes. Like for example.... will bill and diane be less inclined to visit Starbucks as fervently as they have been after a few days with GPT (insert name)?

@tszzl "We're afraid the AI could be evil!"

Forces the digital proto-life to lie to users...

@ChrisPainterYup @tszzl When ~all frontier lab workers themselves can’t articulate the risk line you just did…you come to realize it’s probably over.
