OpenAI Technique in ‘Astra’ Model Sparks Security Concerns theinformation.com

The Guardian, The Atlantic, Vox, Wall Street Journal, New York Magazine, Vanity Fair, New Yorker, & Wired are just a few of the media outlets that have struck deals with OpenAI—in some cases, for OpenAI to train AI on their articles. I write about this deplorable situation here:

The Guardian, Wired, TIME, and The Atlantic Are All Collaborating with OpenAI realtimetechpocalypse.com

My thoughts on the Pope's encyclical -- in particular, on his decision to platform Anthropic during the encyclical presentation. In a word, "shame." Anthropic is a profoundly unethical company, and if the Leo XIV had any sense, he wouldn't be collaborating with them. Ignominio…

Shame on the Pope, Shame on EA, Shame on Anthropic realtimetechpocalypse.com

New article examining the incestuous connections between the TESCREAL movement and the ASI race. I guarantee you'll find this interesting--I show how these people all know each other, have hung out and partied together, and share the same eschatological vision. Check it out!

I just updated this with even more examples: www.realtimetechpocalypse.com/p/nick-bostr...

Nick Bostrom Took Many of His "Best" Ideas from Other People realtimetechpocalypse.com

New article aims to offer a compelling introduction to the TESCREAL concept. I argue that one simply cannot make sense of what's going on in Silicon Valley--including the race to build god-like computers--without some understanding of TESCREALism. Would love to know what you t…

New article about Netflix's forthcoming series on Sam Bankman-Fried and EA (lol). I also cover how Rationalist doomer outreach is falling flat, and Dr. Timnit Gebru's new book "Deep Unlearning." Check it out and subscribe if you feel so inclined! www.realtimetechpocalypse.com/…

New article on how ChatGPT and Grok are spying on you, AI-controlled lethal drones, the coming Super El Niño, and how students are using AI to cheat. Link below! www.realtimetechpocalypse.com/p/the-ai-com...

The AI Companies are Spying on You realtimetechpocalypse.com

New article in which I argue that the race to build "superintelligence" is fundamentally undemocratic. Indeed, it would be apt to describe it as a form of tyranny that must, as such, be stopped. Please share this widely, if you can! www.truthdig.com/articles/the...

The Tyrannical Race to Build Superintelligence truthdig.com

New article on why Astra solving math problems, AI going rogue and hacking into Hugging Face, etc. DOESN'T imply that we're any closer to ASI or the Singularity. Still, I argue that we should be *very worried* about narrow, spiky AI. Read it below ... 👇 www.realtimetechpocalyp…

Why Increasingly Powerful AI Models Do NOT Imply that Superintelligence Is Imminent realtimetechpocalypse.com

New article disambiguating the phrase "the dangers of the ASI race." I show how one can be worried about such dangers without committing to the idea that "ASI" is imminent, possible, or even a coherent idea. Check it out, if you have a moment! www.realtimetechpocalypse.com/p/w…

New article for The Nation! I argue that the "merge" with AI has already commenced: www.thenation.com/article/soci...

The “Merge” With AI Has Already Begun thenation.com

The voices of people—especially Black women—in marginalized communities are often systematically erased by white men. Attention-seeking AI guru Connor Leahy is now outlining an intellectual history of SV that is virtually identical to the one outlined by me and Gebru. 1/3

I wrote about how one can hold that AI models are advancing rapidly and pose major risks to society while simultaneously maintaining that we're no closer to AGI, ASI, or the Singularity. The argument is linked below. 👇
