And he'll probably use "so dangerous, I get attempted murders" as marketing

You know, I had let time blindness eat the context that Saltman has been saying the same doomer critihype about basically every product they've developed going back years. Like, I knew it but I hadn't really processed it.
I just... I have no words for how dumb literally everyone - apparently including myself - is that he keeps getting away with this shit.

"A few thousand days" reminds me of how Elon Musk liked to promise he would send someone to Mars in 5-to-10 years, until it was 5 years before his latest deadline of 2031 and he announced that Mars was old and dead and a Moon colony was the new cool.

Intentionally switching to a more trivial scale, while remaining purposefully vague and imprecise, is such a fascinating bafflegab tactic. It's a giant waving red flag that Altman is bullshitting, but many people (especially in the press!) still take it as profound.

Funny how I’ve heard more about Mythos than the fact that three people have tried to kill Sam Altman

After the first copycat maybe some calls got made /tinfoil
Rinn@awful.systems · 5 pts · 134d
Wait, three? What's the previous 2? I think I've only heard about this case (...and a lot about Mythos so that proves your point nicely).
