Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

New paper tries to define AGI, cites hallucinated papers (xcancel.com)

Some of our very best friends (including Dan Hendrycks, Max Tegmark, Jaan Tallinn, and Yoshua Bengio) just uploaded to arxiv a preprint that attempts to define the term "artificial general intelligence".

Turns out the paper was at least partly written by an LLM, because it cites hallucinated papers. In response, Hendrycks tries to pull a fast one, pretending that it's Google Docs' fault.

(Gary Marcus is also a coauthor on this paper for some reason.)

I'm only surprised that they're so goddamned lazy.
