AI is an incredible tool, and yes I am disappointed that every leader in this field is acting unethically and irresponsibly because they want to "win" a race that would make them slightly richer than the loser.

See DDOS. That's exactly how humans access a web page. Why is it okay for humans to access a webpage, but when a bot swarm does it, it's irresponsible?

That's an analogy among many others, but the point is that OpenAI should use their tools responsibly. If they have 700 potential ground-breaking but unproven results, they should share it in a way that they do not get free (possibly unwarranted) publicity for it.

The "irresponsible" part is about how orange buffoons in power will read this, and immediately defund all universities, and mathematicians will lose their jobs, leaving us with nothing but an AI tool that no one can keep in check anymore.

This is extremely disappointing. It means they are sharing unproven work for PR, forcing the mathematicians community to do the verification job for them, while so-called "accelerationists" surf on the hype and help with the pro-AI propaganda.

If your AI tool can help advance mathematical research, share the tool with mathematicians. Using it like this is irresponsible.

"AI will kill us all": no. Greedy humans will kill us all. With AI.

> they wouldn't even bother to sandbox their agentic harnesses properly

Exactly. AI safety should be about the packaging software itself. Those AI breakouts should really be about their companies acting recklessly because they're trying to be the top players.

It's like a weapons dealer working on an open air market saying they can't do anything better

That's not happiness, that's just a fleeting pleasurable moment.

Hold on. I had given up on Google almost 10 years ago, and I thought that the AI garbage on DDG was the new norm on the web. At least Google doesn't fare any better. You make it sound like there's another option?

Runaway warming leading to a hot "supergreenhouse" climate was theorized. Alterbatively a snowpiercer scenario creating a snowball earth.

Or, once billions of people die from climate change, planetary wars will start on the last hospitable areas, leading to the end of humanity.

In contrast, AI ending "humanity" is limited by our own material power, would likely be stoppable, and would not easily reach areas isolated from technology

At the very least stop burning 3x more fossil fuels than the world average. Or stop your president from buying out renewable energy projects in order to prop up coal and gas. Or stop blocking public transportation developments. Why does it look like no one is trying?

No one cares about West Texas, it's about the 33 million tons of carbon dioxide going into the atmosphere and warming the world.

Reminder that the USA are the country that historically burned the most fossil fuels, the world's largest extractor of oil, the only country trying to do a 180 on coal power.

Half of the world has experienced unprecedented heatwaves that will become the norm in 2050.

Stop burning fossil fuels.

How do you think you will change culture or politics? In the US, money IS the culture. Politics go where the money goes.

Divest all your stocks from all this AI data-center race bullshit, invest into renewable projects. Worst case, the orange buffoon will bail you out with taxpayer money to prevent the US grid from being too clean or something. Only money talks in the US.

Divest from any kind of S&P500 or cool tech stocks. Invest in renewable energy projects. The US government is failing you, only money talks.

> people who truly believe in the economically transformative power of AI

People who truly care about becoming rich*

DeepMind made enormous transformative discoveries, for instance in the world of protein folding. But that will just save human lives, not let CEOs fire their people to grab a larger piece of cake for themselves.
