    The language in this post is disinformation. AI does not “scheme,” but that’s the wording the post uses for its duration.

    Upon looking a little closer, this is a fearmonger website devoted to overinflating claims of AI power while ignoring real-life present-day harms. They claim to be inspired by Sam Bankman-Fried’s Effective Altruism scam.

      thanks for this reply to the post and the clarification! The name of the website contains “longterm”, possibly in reference to “longtermism”, another framing of the effective altruism scam used to justify killing people today for some nebulous and flimsy “longterm minimising of deaths” because they assume their shitty text-predict machine will be a superior intelligence somehow.

      Anyways, it’s important to know their language to detect their bullshit quickly.
