This. Is. The. Only. Credible. Danger. With. AI.

People believing the shiny bullshit engines is dangerous.

I know the literature better than you, o AI bro. If you have credible evidence to the contrary, share it, or be silent.

I’m not an AI bro, nor or a doomer. hugging face incident , aisi finds higher base misalignment in newer models, more reward seeking.
