🗣Peter Thiel says even a 5-10% chance of AI extinction is better than a world with no growth "I don't think the probabilities are very high. On the other hand, if the probability is even 5% or 10%, that seems pretty bad." "It doesn't necessarily follow that you should always go slower and always go in the precautionary direction, because if you do nothing, if there is no progress on any dimension, I don't think our societies work at all." "The intergenerational progressive compact in our society was that there was progress from one generation to the next. Maybe economic progress, material progress, progress in health. And when that breaks down, I think the whole society starts to derange in very, very strange ways." "There's a picture that people implicitly have that the alternative to AI, let's say, a zero-growth world where there's no progress at all, will somehow be this peaceful, social democratic society. And I don't think that's true." Mathias Döpfner: “If America is slowing down and China is accelerating, we are just strengthening China, but it's not solving anything." @aipost 🏴

The activity reportedly continued as recently as September 16. Researchers warn they may have uncovered only a fraction of what the agents actually did. @aipost 🏴
