An anti-AI march of a couple hundred people just walked down my street! Signs included "This is fucked" and "stop building skynet".

@jwz That's a march I would join

@pl @jwz i've seen this group's posters around my neighborhood and while i think they're genuine, their objectives and rhetoric are very "criti-hype" - they talk about "superhuman AI" and existential risk, which makes them sound like rationalist doomers rather than skeptics. if that is indeed their orientation i don't think they'll make good allies.

@jplebreton @pl Well the extent of my research was looking out my window and feeling a rare and fleeting moment of joy...

[jplebreton@mastodon.social]

@jwz @pl definitely good that people are pissed enough to be out in the streets!
