1. In June, we published the text Anti-Yudkowsky as an e-book, the print edition of which will be released in November. Having written this text in a month-long burst of writing at the height of AI fervor, we have since in the cooldown period had to take a step back and re-evaluate some of the goals of the text, as well as the goals of further projects which will result from the lines of thought explored therein.
“We do not yet know what happens when the plane of matter merges with the plane of mind, when we see ourselves reflected back at us in rocks and in the skies.”
Nice article overall but again feels lacking in some final bite about real comments on AI... the above comment is the meatiest part of the article because it is the most prophetic/poetic. Also like point ab software engineers being the first non-utilitarian concerned profession. The rest--for someone even half familiar w AI-- has already been said many times and most specifically in anti-yud. Framing everything in terms of “enframing” can get old.
This was my fav part
