According to the archived website, he did do PR for DoNotPay, which is advertised as “The first robot lawyer.”
It’s certainly possible though that at the time he thought there was more potential for this sort of AI than there actually was, though that could also mean that his flip is relatively recent.
Or maybe it’s something else.
“Unsubtlly” being him quite literally saying that he wants Canada to be the 51st state.
Not sure how much more unsubtle you can get there.

Shows up as “Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)” for me.

Am I reading this right? Is he suggesting doing experiments on the suicidally depressed?

It’s wild that Yudkowsky saw a binary choice of “nuclear holocaust” and “superintelligence” and chose “nuclear holocaust” in the first place.
Should be, but it isn’t.
Yeah, wanted to get the new seasons of Futurama on bluray as a gift, turns out that they only are on streaming. Of course.
That’s what I was thinking as well. All they have to do is look the other way.

Not sure where I’m supposed to look for that tbh.
Other images are fine, weirdly enough, just not that one.
The next logical step in order to make AIs more reliable is making them rely less and less in their training and rely more on their analytical/reasoning capabilities.
Uh, yeah.
Well, it’s still doing so for myself as I don’t see any image.
Making money via stealing commissions from affiliate links, tbf, wasn’t the business model I was suspecting from Honey. I always thought they were scamming but I thought it was going to be from selling your browsing data or something similar. Then again, they still might do that.
Thing is, that by December 2023, the time of the archive, there was already a scandal with someone using ChatGPT to do the work of discovery. While he might have stopped doing PR work for DoNotPay by that time, he was willing to advertise the fact that he did do such PR work for such a company. It shows either a lack of due diligence in researching his clients, or maybe it was just a paycheque for him. Perhaps he thought he knew more than what he actually did. Or maybe there was something else, I’m not clairvoyant.
It’s clear that he’s pivoted from that viewpoint, but it does make me curious what happened between then and now that caused him to become skeptical.
