A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Rob Miles has a Youtuber-style animation channel with a new video to communicate the importance of AI safety, and the execution is absolutely top notch.

Oh, I missed that part, clicked on the thumbnail directly to see what BS was this going to be... and was only mildly disappointed.

But indeed, this being Rob Miles, changes things. I guess most of the video can be seen educational in disguise. A sad moment for YouTube video titles though, when even minimally decent stuff needs to hide behind clickbait.

Haha yeah. He released all these videos just talking about how it's a problem, and I can sort of picture him trying to work out, okay I tried just explaining the problem clearly, now how can we make the videos reach a wider audience. I know! (a) sex is involved in the story (b) cute little animations of the computers in a glowy neon style (c) clickbait title. Okay, check, let's do a/b/c then, and see how it works.
