I thought it was Futurama's Bender take on AI. Was disappointed.

I thought it would be Bender's deepfake take on AI!

I really don't get why people take Bender seriously as a source for information about AI. She's been consistently wrong about model capabilities for years now, and seems to have nothing but contempt for the computer scientists, technologists, and machine learning experts that are driving this technology. Look at her bluesky with its screeds against "mathy maths" "tech bros" etc

I do not know that person, but her views in the linked video seem great and vastly underrepresented in the current media landscape.

She lists many valid AI risks, discounts the doomsday PR and instead talks about the accountability gap that current AI frontier companies profit from.

I'm sure her Twitter timeline is awful, as you noted. But do you have thoughts on the arguments she presents in the linked video?

Contrarians gonna contrarian. Zitron is the same way. The only thing that will convince these people is if an incident actually happens - and even this is questionable, because clearly they don't understand the OpenAI incident well enough to take it seriously.

Am I the only one that thought this would be an AI-generated video with Bender, the alcoholic robot from Futurama? Could somebody please make that?
