I noticed this wonderful article spreading AI doomsday scenarios on Guardian today supported by grant from the Tarbell Center for AI Journalism: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2026/sep/01/if-you-build-something-vastly-smarter-than-you-it-better-be-on-your-side-can-we-stop-ai-from-deceiving-us
I wonder who is sponsoring them?
@davidgerard Isn't it amazing how so much AI 'charity' goes to non-profits, rather than charities obligated to, you know, do good, and those non-profits all promote AI in some way. It's almost as if it's a scammy way of using your advertising budget to get tax breaks rather than a drive to help humanity.
Yes.
I think you meant FLI, Future of Life Institute, though, not FHI. There is an FHI in the nonprofit sector doing pretty good work https://www.fhi360.org/who-we-are/
There is also another FHI, Family Health International, which seems to be kinda impersonating FHI 360. FHI 360 used to go by Family Health International, or just FHI.
@JMMaok FHI was also the Future of Humanity Institute, which like FLI was founded by *another* Swedish EA with a racism scandal
Why is everything such a mess? /rhetorical
