somebody bought dot.com to confuse openai dots.com users by redirecting to Grok bot lmao

this is exactly why i worked on webtorrent ~13 years ago https://github.com/webtorrent/webtorrent

yeah, you're right bro. sorry for the glib response; you were engaging in good faith, i just didn't really take it that way

not anywhere close to my 50s, and this isn't "bad-faith" marketing game; everything i do is 100% free and open source and just genuinely trying to help advance convos around AI in a positive direction without caring about making money like most people

anyhow, sorry for the rude remark

curious who would you like to see added on here?

seems like the assessment was pretty accurate based on the demonstrated reasoning in this response..

definitely; what you're referring to is known as extreme concentration of power is an aspect of more doom-type outcomes. it's not necessarily as existential as the extinction of all humanity, but it is accounted for in the model

i go into this more in this project: https://cultural-alignment.com/concepts/power-concentration

glad you found it helpful :) and yes, i find ed zitron super painful to listen to in general

there are some more people here in the larger view of X users: https://www.doom-or-bloom.com/users

all of the pages include the public sources they're based on and a clear disclaimer. this is also spelled out in the methodology section. many of these folks are using direct quotes to answer the questions where available as well

that being said, i agree, the simulated personas could be better flagged

appreciate the feedback

hmmm the system's def not perfect. hopefully the process was still useful?

thanks for your feedback; if you publish your results, i'll look into it and try to figure out where things went wrong

here's the results of your 2 answers posted into this tool btw. your views are remarkably close to ed zitron's (no judgement; just an observation): https://www.doom-or-bloom.com/public/assessments/8c615299-46...

1. this is just a useful marketing framing. the actual assessment uses a much higher dimensional space to model your worldview in a more meaningful, nuanced way

2. by expected bias, i meant that your answer didn't seem to actually look past the name at the actual content of the project or else you would've realized there are plenty of people modeled on here who share similar views as your own

3. i agree this type of knee-jerk reaction to the name & featured framing is reasonable. always tradeoffs when trying to get an idea to catch hold

good call; will update the sign-in to be less prominent and a disclaimer. appreciate the feedback

which is why it's so important for people to answer this question.. your views are 100% supported by this project if you leave your expected bias at the door ;)

yeah, moloch will come for us all in the end

i don't have net worth data in there, but you can sort by X follower counts on this more detailed page: https://www.doom-or-bloom.com/users

i really spent a lot of time looking through results and trying to course-correct and fix the model where i found obvious issues, but it's definitely not perfect

if you find any particularly egregious results, they're likely due to not having good enough public sources for that user's viewpoints. def let me know and i'll try to improve them

thanks

i agree, but if you view the sources his answers are grounded in, he seems to have updated to being more moderate in light of recent progress. still def on the lower side of the predicted impact spectrum, but it seems he's taking the impacts more seriously now

that's why it's so important to show the sources used to derive these positions. like https://garymarcus.substack.com/p/why-my-pdoom-has-risen-dra...

def plan to follow up w/ some anonymized analysis of the results if i get enough submissions

really appreciate you taking the time to test it out && hope it was useful

yeah, it's purely optional. by default, your results stay private in your browser session

but i wanted a way for people to publish their results to share w/ others

had a lot of fun putting this Pluribus edit together. in the original scene, the hive explains to carol how they eat dead humans

made with gpt-6 astra, elevenlabs for the voice, and a lip sync model from fal

astra chose to just use ffmpeg directly for the video editing. i then manually added the captions using descript

AI risks are getting very real, very fast

the problem is they always feel so abstract, most of us just end up ignoring them

so i created a FOSS project to make AI risks more relatable using analogies from popular movies/shows/anime

i had a LOT of fun with this project.. sexy webgl goodness, lots of meme potential, and i learned a ton about AI safety along the way!

would love to hear your thoughts

reminds me of the advice of unpacking your dreams in https://www.experimental-history.com/p/face-it-youre-a-crazy...

great talk by ilya sutskever on how this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKMuA_TVz3A&t=2121s

the link should go to the base url, not an overloaded server: https://hop.earth

read this as "Cats are trying to spy on you" lol

https://github.com/markqvist/reticulum is the official mirror for reticulum

was expecting this page to be blank...

published dozens of TI-Basic and then C games (via tigcc) back in the day https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/authors/78/7869.html

this was such an amazing way to learn programming
