ahahaha holy shit. I knew METR smelled a bit like AI doomsday cultists and took money from OpenPhil, but those "open source" projects and engineers? One of them was LessWrong.

Here's a LW site dev whining about the study, he was in it and i think he thinks it was unfair to AI

I think if people are citing in another 3 months time, they'll be making a mistake

dude $NEXT_VERSION will be so cool

so anyway, this study has gone mainstream! It was on CNBC! I urge you not to watch that unless you have a yearning need to know what the normies are hearing about this shit. In summary, they are hearing that AI coding isn't all that actually and may not do what the captains of industry want.

around 2:30 the two talking heads ran out of information and just started incorrecting each other on the fabulous AI future, like the worst work lunchroom debate ever but it's about AI becoming superhuman

the key takeaway for the non techie businessmen and investors who take CNBC seriously ever: the bubble starts not going so great

youtube comment:

Zeppelins are here to stay! After all, we still have the technology for rigid airship full of hydrogen cells, you can't unring this bell!

(I have pretty good YT commenters actually. Because I moderate all comments, because this is fuckin AI.)

the dream of robot slaves is too powerful to suppress permanently, but it'll be one heck of an AI winter

discuss.

per the sidebar: This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

it was me, I popped AI. I destroyed Twitter (and, in collateral damage, I blew up the United States), and those fuckers are next. You're welcome.

In past tech bubbles, it was basically the VCs, the media hypesters and the liars in the companies. So the right people.
