Before AI Doomer Coxon’s ‘hilbertspaess’ account was made this year, an account by that name had previously been created and deleted at least two times prior. And, according to the Internet Archive, the first display name on that account was ‘Jacob Coxon’. So it’s reasonable to say that it was his account then too, and thus its posts are his unfiltered intellect.

Someone on Twitter by the name Dugan Nash put together a dedicated archive of hilbertspaess’s old tweets from the internet archive, hosted at https://hilbertspaess.pages.dev/

The things a rationalist doomer bro was posting on twitter in 2022 might surprise you! If you somehow weren’t expecting to see anything about IQ, the Holocaust, AI, or NFTs.

    “Many other catastrophic panics in the past have been just fearmongering,” he added.

    Heyyy, he’s self aware!

    “I agree with president Trump’s tweet that global warming doomsday scenarios were overplayed,” he told Fox’s Sean Hannity. “It’s a very slow process. We’re talking about doomsdays — completely absurd.”

    ”The reason this is unique is AI is moving so incredibly quickly, we won’t have time to respond to it before it’s too late.”

    The speed of the event doesn’t disqualify its seriousness? Climate change is still a very big deal even if it’s moving slower than the awakening of the Robot God. Also, AI developing “incredibly quickly” is still mostly bullshit because we STILL haven’t gotten anything the big tech companies promised

      Not to mention that if we didn’t give up on global warming, that would have slowed down AI development, giving more time to prevent AI doomsday.

      Plus on the would be dooms day the AI would have less computing power available to it, meaning it would take it longer to figure out how to build another datacenter overnight. Plus if it is more distributed there’s greater latency.

      The thing about Yudkowsky’s cult is that like any religion it is really all about not actually thinking anything through.

      Everyone accuses them of not really believing what they say, because they can’t think straight about anything that they “believe”. To such an extreme extent it comes off as some sort of cynical ploy with a hidden agenda to convert the oxygen in the atmosphere into paperclips.
