Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

Eliezer Yudkowsky @ESYudkowsky If you're not worried about the utter extinction of humanity, consider this scarier prospect: An AI reads the entire legal code -- which no human can know or obey -- and threatens to enforce it, via police reports and lawsuits, against anyone who doesn't comply with its orders.

Coincidence than this fear occurs the same day the Epstein list is released?

So which big name TREACLES are gonna be on it?

[–] froztbyte@awful.systems 8 points 11 months ago

Not to discount the possibility, but it might be none/few. I think a lot of them are too new-money / too-fringe-when-epstein-was-applicable to have been a part of that orbit

@Evinceo @Shitgenstein1

None, unless dead old Marvin Minsky had his head frozen and that counts somehow.

Epstein did donate some money to SIAI, not sure if it was before or after his first conviction

EDIT: Rob Bensinger says it was seed funding for OpenCog that SIAI was collecting, and that they turned him down in 2016 https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/3JjKWWrKWJ8nysD9r/question-about-a-past-donor-to-miri?commentId=i49RZQgoQZYrXdpis
