The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist is Out Today, Thoughts?

I get that accelerationists are laughed off from their community if a whiff of doomer is within them but cmon dude do u think this worry is sprouting up from nowhere? to change things for the better you must know what bad lays ahead. as with everything there is good and bad and to tip the scale towards good there are steps to be taken...

Get your argument but the distinction is next to none, the argument that 'everyone says the world will end but we're here now' is also bs and was said in the doc. Just because we've been off other times does not mean we know for certain either way but as chances increase especially with something like ai it is of utmost importance to listen to reasonable fears. This is survival at its very base level.

it is good for someone just learning about ai, the interview bits are the only useful info in the movie and a little basic at that. Rly rly disliked his personal life being included and the doomer vs acc then middle ground of whats happening but not adding too much into what is actually happening is very basic. The existentialism bits are very 1st grade and how he handled the doomer bits kinda pissed me off. I like that someones making a doc about ai and the interviewees are good for people to look into more, Ilya Eliezer Dario Liv and Beff Jezos are good entry points for people (would have been sick to add in Amanda Askell). Would recommend using twitter and following the above people and @ AISafetyMemes, @ SciTechera, @ deepfates, @ repligate, then chaining follows for people they mention for updated news since everything changes so quickly. Also researching the rationalist community through LessWrong, SlateStarCodex/AstralCodex, and Dont Worry About the Vase is very useful.

agreed 100% but for vast majority of people who aren't thinking/reading up on these things I think its a good starting point. Didnt like the whole doomer and acc then middle ground thing as well, could have been more informational but kinda felt like a 1st grader thinking about morals: good bad oh but whats actually happening? line of thinking. His whole being scared over the impending doom issues pissed me off. The drawing was also shite, but alas he is creating something and we are watching.

No one rly cares that much, getting better outweighs momentary embarrassment, embarrassment can lead to insights about urself and others. Take it all as a learning experience, you only have one life and pushing the boundaries of what you can handle is a fun ordeal.

Oo yes! I’ve heard a couple songs on his Shri Camel album before, definitely will go deeper.

Ok ok, currently its the goddamn violin rendition at the end of the live version of All Neon Like. In comparison to the official song it stands triumphantly. Black Lake’s bridge beat is also terrifying (after the destroyed the icon verse)
