@TylerAlterman @0x49fa98 idk mang, maybe "doom" is bad for some reasons, but I really do want to be very clear that I am worried about existential risk and not like... water usage or something. Open to other ways of phrasing it.
I am the moderator in question and I feel misunderstood by this. This was during a multiple hundred person Q&A. I invited folks who were skeptical of x-risk to have a smaller conversation with Oliver so that they could get more of a back and forth. I did not ask anyone to leave.
while i felt wildly misrepresented by erin's tweet about my moderation style, i must admit, i do often wake up in a sweat from nightmares/memories of atlantis's fall. maybe i should take her criticisms of my shadow motivations more seriously
AI safety people are souls reincarnated from Atlantis who carry soul-level trauma from its collapse. Their cult-like need to simultaneously build and control AI is a trauma response - they are trying to resolve their karma, to prevent us from repeating the past, to prevent the
@hilbertspaess @edzitron Most rationalists are not vegans or naive consequentialists ime fyi
@TylerAlterman This is just the doomer position?
@realizingerin @itme_brain That is not what happened! Jesus christ, dude. I did not ask anyone to leave.
If anyone happens to have a recording of this part of the panel, I would very much appreciate you posting it!
Also, it was like 20 people out of 200+, not even close to half.

I went to an rationalist/EA AI doomer event last night with the goal of meeting someone who could calmly explain to me the argument for how they get to the conclusion that AI will kill everyone. Because these are rationalists, I expected to find people who could lay out a
I can, I am the moderator who is mentioned in the text who feels extremely misrepresented by this. It was actually like 20 people who raised their hands out of 200, and I invited them to talk with oliver habryka in a smaller discussion so that they could have a more focused discussion. The event was this: x.com/Aella_Girl/sta…

@TaylorLorenz What sort of strange unknown force could be causing EA psychosis? x.com/TaylorLorenz/s…
Are there any people who are concerned about AI existential risk who are *not* connected in any way with EA? I am genuinely curious bc so far it seems like something that has solely emerged from that religion/belief system. Who are the non EA-related ppl engaged on this issue?
@realizingerin Also, it was like 20 people, less than 10% of people there, not half!
@marshallmixing @realizingerin Also, it was not half of the room! It was like 20 people.
I invited you all to be able to talk to Oliver more directly with fewer people there so that you could have more of a back and forth because I wanted you all to get more air time, in large part because that conversation seemed far more interesting to me. I did not ask you to leave, I invited you to get more time in a more concentrated and less scattered discussion.
Many many people have reached out with questions and concerns over the last few days. I haven’t been able to respond as much as I’d like. AMA! Drop questions below.
@NathanpmYoung Also wrong about their heuristics for changing ther views and the norms by which a view spreads and becomes popular among ideology hosts
Here is a very good video on one such scenario: x.com/chanamessinger… If you prefer text: ai-2027.com However, fwiw, it was not a concrete scenario that convinced me, and I don’t think you should require one either. The basic argument that convinces me is something like: 1) If there are things that are much smarter than me or any of my allies around and they have very different preferences for what the world should be like than me or my allies, this is very bad news for us. 2) There will be things around that are much smarter than me or any of my allies. 3) They will have very different preferences for what the world is like than me or my allies. Conclusion) That is very bad news for us.
This is a timely reminder that the heuristic of paying attention to who is making arguments vs who is explaining why you shouldn’t listen to the bad people making arguments has served me well.
