If we make capable general goal-seeking AIs, then for many goals we might build them with, they will correctly reason that staying alive/operating will help the goal be achieved, so they will have self-preservation as an instrumental g

Maybe avoiding nausea from artificial locomotion is a reason Apple isn't focusing on games so much now.

This behavior doesn't depend on TLDs. A href will be to the local origin unless it starts with a protocol (" https://example.com ") or two slashes (protocol-relative link, like "//example.com").

If you give it a prompt telling it that it's controlling a character in a game that needs to survive or meet some other goal and give it choices of actions to do in the game, it will try to meet the goals given to it. Characters inside

What's the conflict? Stack Overflow content was specifically licensed under Creative Commons so that its content can be maximally used and learned from, and it seems to be working successfully in ways not envisioned before.

If you wanted to do compute in a shader before WebGPU with WebGL instead, then I think the answer is kind of yes. It wasn't "for free" without any code but it was required to do. But now WebGPU supports compute shaders proper

Maybe they planned to use the davinci-003 name for it originally, but then when GPT-4 took longer to make than they expected and a new revision GPT-3 came out first, they reallocated the name to that.

This issue pops up somewhat commonly with web services that decide to add a reverse-proxy CDN but don't put the "Cache-Control: private" header on all HTTP endpoints that return data specific to the logged in user.

If you can tell it things in a way that it successfully acts on that information, then that seems like effective communication. When I use GitHub Copilot, I'll often write a comment describing some code I want it to implement and then

Then we shouldn't use the 10 year-old (lesser) popular sentiment as a reason to discount AI either.

Have you read Eliezer Yudkowsky and the LessWrong forum on AI existential risk? Your understanding of the sheer magnitude of future AI and taking it seriously as a critical risk to humanity are common qualities shared with them. (Their focu

I agree that the most likely way an AI would take control involves social/political engineering, but that doesn't mean it will have human-like morals making it keep humanity alive once it doesn't need us or that it will have

Oh, I think my last post was more about the people concerned with AI safety rather than the topic itself. If you want to get closer to the actual topic itself, this article is a surprisingly great resource: https://www.vox.com&#x

I think that's a fair way of putting alignment. The concern is that we might make an AI that's capable of outsmarting us before we're good at making it care about doing what we want instead of some other goal that disregards

I'm not sure these issues are in conflict. Corporations cause lots of harm despite being held back by their dependence on people who control them, who can occasionally put the brakes on some of their worst excesses, and by their inabil

Eliezer Yudkowsky and the LessWrong forum popularized AI safety/alignment ideas. (The Effective Altruism community was originally mostly populated by people from LessWrong.) I think this article is a little awkwardly infatuated with Le

Ohh, right on. Definitely agree now that I've re-read it right. I was a little confused by the first sentence of your other post and thought you were putting forward a disagreement in the second sentence.

The AI safety community has many people who were previously extremely optimistic about the sheer world-changing potential of AI, but then realized that getting AI right might be harder than getting it wrong, and that figuring out how to get

A recent poll of published AI researchers showed a median estimate of a 5% chance AI causes human extinction, with half believing the chance is greater than 10%. https://aiimpacts.org/2022-expert-survey-on-progress-in-ai&#x2

The first few chapters have a song scene parodying ghostbusters and a joke about the protagonist biting a teacher in a tantrum as a young kid. There's plenty of elements of crackfic parody in it.

Many EA people are into forms of longtermism but AI safety arguments don't rely on longtermism at all. Many people worried about AI safety think it will be relevant in well less than 200 years. (Though uh, would you really not care at

It's cute to see prompt injection work, but it shouldn't ever be a real security vulnerability if you don't put secrets in the prompt, and don't make systems that put user input into a prompt and treat the output as comm
