The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist is Out Today, Thoughts?

it is good for someone just learning about ai, the interview bits are the only useful info in the movie and a little basic at that. Rly rly disliked his personal life being included and the doomer vs acc then middle ground of whats happening but not adding too much into what is actually happening is very basic. The existentialism bits are very 1st grade and how he handled the doomer bits kinda pissed me off. I like that someones making a doc about ai and the interviewees are good for people to look into more, Ilya Eliezer Dario Liv and Beff Jezos are good entry points for people (would have been sick to add in Amanda Askell). Would recommend using twitter and following the above people and @ AISafetyMemes, @ SciTechera, @ deepfates, @ repligate, then chaining follows for people they mention for updated news since everything changes so quickly. Also researching the rationalist community through LessWrong, SlateStarCodex/AstralCodex, and Dont Worry About the Vase is very useful.

The more they hype their product the more it generates investor interest. The more the public gets distracted by this doomsday c*** the more it shields CEOs from head count reductions. 

We just saw it and thought it was interesting. As someone else mentioned, I agree it was pretty informative for people who may not be as well informed and/or following the overall AI situation closely (such as myself). I enjoyed the pendulum of viewpoints and how it eventually met somewhere in the middle. But at the end of the day, no one knows how this is going to play out. The potential ripple effects and optional future realities are simply too complex or too vast to predict. The movie touched on some of those, but I feel like some that were highlighted were way too utopian in nature. It's like they blatantly ignored that greed, paywalls, and capitalism exist. Though, given the restricted amount of time, the amount of complex information they had to squeeze in, the caliber of the interviews/interviewees, and the overall way they kept you engaged through the creativeness of the filmmaker, I think it was well done and enjoyable. As a side note, we don't have kids, don't want kids, etc. We could have done without the whole "I'm having a baby" theme, but whatever, it's a reality for many, and it helped tie the chapters together.

I’m absolutely terrified great film but almost want you to never know anything about it lol it fucked me up these people are not human. And 30mg edible on top of that god

It is difficult to take any argument that claims "such and such will literally kill everyone" seriously
