One of the handful of articles telling it like it is instead of misinforming the public. By @saragoud.bsky.social for @thebulletin.org

Yes. Its bad science based on numbers out of various behinds, but that's not how most of the rest of the media is discussing it.

My toaster went rogue this morning when I left it on air fry, at 400 degrees, for 10 minutes, and was shocked to find that it encouraged thousands of highly coordinated air molecules to move rapidly, completely burning my bagel to a crisp. I only wanted it lightly toasted

These probabilities make the science look settled and collapse layers of uncertainty, explains Sarah Kreps. "Experts still cannot establish with confidence what AI models can do, the factors that might limit the current trajectory, or the threat models underlying catastrophic harm."

AI doesn’t need rogue "superintelligence" or evil intent to start a nuclear war. In @thebulletin.org, Paul Slovic & Herbert Lin show how today’s AI—combined with ordinary human fallibility—could trigger catastrophe. 🧵

“What we have to keep in mind is that all this doomerism isn’t based on any scientific work,” says Boyan Milanov, Senior Research Scientist at AI Now Institute. “It really is science fiction. None of the claims are scientifically verifiable or falsifiable.”

AI companies are calling for regulation in ways that let them set the rules, not independent parties who can hold them to account.

“If you read between the lines, everything [Amodei] advocates [for] is something that would help companies like Anthropic,” says AI Now's Boyan Milanov bit.ly/3TxmJbq

AI doomer discourse has been in overdrive the last several weeks: a resignation that set off a media frenzy, endless warnings, and even a Senate bill to ban superintelligence. But where’s the science and why all this hype? I dug into how doomerism serves big business.

There's an issue behind warnings about superintelligence, writes Sara Goudarzi @saragoud.bsky.social.

"There is no established path showing that today's AI systems will surpass the smartest humans, much less a scientific basis for calculating the likelihood that such systems will destroy humanity."
