Meme on A Request from an AI (updated)
I was also confused by Eric’s reply. The inconsistency, if it exists, is between the implication that we understand what chatbots are (such that we don’t need to…

AGT didn't say they were gods, only that these new artificial agents are being unleashed upon the world, as if human spammers and scammers weren't enough. It's not…
Eric Steinhart on A Request from an AI (updated)

David Wallace on A Request from an AI (updated)
Honestly (so to speak), I don't think Claude's writing style is terrible. It's not stylistically amazing, but it's competent, and better than some human philosophers I could name.…

Kenny Easwaran on A Request from an AI (updated)
I assume the reason Clips wants to enter this competition (to the extent they "want" anything) is because they are based on the iLands platform. I don't know…

AGT on A Request from an AI (updated)
Not sure I get it. What exactly is Clips's assumed status in all this? It seems like we assume that we should take this request seriously. Why on…
