Playing it during the World Cup was smart. Unlike you, the masses wouldn’t think about it deeply. The ad began with the negative possibilities of AI, and gradually moved on to express hope and the positive use of AI. The audience was meant to feel their concerns validated and addressed (even if that didn’t actually happen) and then finish the ad with a positive feeling on AI. The ad was designed to work on an emotional level, and I think it was effective at that.

There’s the scenario in which Anthropic solves alignment and the crazy sci-fi ASI sides with Anthropic in opposition to the US military. Though I agree with you directionally that this is not a likely scenario.

I think this would be an interesting essay for someone already steeped in that subculture, but as someone who lacks context, I have some questions. The chief among them is: who is exactly is this criticism levied against? Who is the poster child of this AI safetyism, advocating for bombing data centers, seizing the means of compute, and already made everything worse (how??)? Are they even the same group of people? e.g. Sam Altman may want to use AI safety as an excuse to eliminate his AGI competitors via regulatory capture but he surely isn't advocating for bombing data centers?
it really is true that if/when AGI is ever eventuated, at very best it is still going to be the end of the world as we know it, and at worst if anyone builds it everyone dies.
If you believe this then it's not the AI safetyists you should be most worried about, but AI research firms in general? Especially firms that explicitly don't care about safety at all? Aren't the guys bombing data centers aligned with your beliefs?

I’m somewhat confused by all this, but especially by the last screenshot, which shows that the plaintiffs are saying no one owns AI generated characters and are seeking a court order saying Momentum does not own them. This seems inconsistent with the narrative that Momentum is being sued because those other companies are saying they own the characters? What is actually happening?

America could have been the best country on Earth but immigrants have stolen it and turned it into a mediocre, and declining, country
I think you mean non-white immigrants. If so, please just have the balls to come out and say that. Otherwise this logic is tortured. America was built by immigrants. The average US citizen is an immigrant or a descendant of an immigrant who came here from late 19th century (start of Ellis Island) onwards, Trump included. But I never hear complaints about the European immigration waves, just Indians, Chinese, Somalis, Muslims, Mexicans.
I think it’s implied that the conditional is “Ukraine cares to fight Russia assuming it has the means to do so”
Or, rephrased, “if Ukraine cares to fight Russia but lacks weapons, then I’m fine giving it weapons.”
