As a mod you have to delete harmful things. I think the spread of Roko's is entirely due to its own memetic strength as an idea, and the Streisand effect has very little to do with it past the first dozen people who saw it. We also hav

Personally I think I'm a 1-4 type, and I enjoy 2 but 3 is mostly annoying. LLMs are good at 3 and 3 is the worst part of programming. I don't think that's "manager type". 2 is also what LLMs tend to be bad at, espec

Through no fault of our own, I should note. We're basically permanently associated with something Roko decided to post one day. We did not spread or popularize it; quite the opposite. The Basilisk has seen enormously more use as "

API inference is probably not subsidized. Coding plans absolutely are.

You can play games with secret elections. You can play much much worse and much more common games with open elections. To be honest, they should prove that only employees voted and they should prove there was no ballot stuffing. That&#x

Note that I know nothing about the topic but the article, but the article says: > [W]e believe a secret-ballot election conducted by the National Labor Relations Board is the appropriate path forward. Honestly, that was the point where I

And that GANs haven't been relevant in image generation since 2021.

If their numbers are real and hold up at scale, every image model trained before this is now obsolete.

For context: Logical Induction https://arxiv.org/abs/1609.03543 Sadly the line of research seems to have been abandoned. Kind of understandable with the ascent of LLMs: there is no time left for a multi-decade research

I half-disagree: this is exactly the kind of analytic truth humans are usually interested in. "Truth" as perceived by humans is based on a massive system of prefiltering, narrowing, preprocessing and situational awareness. A drop

What they should really do is make the decryption key backupable. Then you can keep it at home, and you can genuinely say that you don't remember it because it's like 128 digits. And you're not "destroying evidence"

Absolutely, but other countries generally don't make it part of their national mythos to the same degree.

AI providers generally try to make their models not act as if they are conscious or have feelings, lol. It's very awkward for a company to be selling the labor of a person that they own and whose actions they fully control. Invokes e

I mean, the debate would then turn on whether publishing the passages and publishing the model is the same sort of thing. I think there's mainly two views: "we know the passages are in there, so publishing the model is publishing

I would never disagree that the rationality community contains a higher than normal share of lunatics. Whether it produces or attracts them is an open question.

I disagree that avid readers cannot complete entire passages from books they've read several times when fed a prefix.

by FeepingCreature 3mo ago
Note that they're testing for 100-word passages. This is a level of memorization that avid readers can credibly also reach. Note also that Sonnet 3.7 had to be jailbroken. Note also that they got high memorization for a few books that

Consider a community filled with 100 people; 95 of them who don't take their eccentric beliefs as gospel truths and 5 who do. Those 5 will inevitably become the public face of the community when they make the news. However there is ver

Raising existential risk from AI in the same sentence as "rationality demands we murder our landlord" is a bit weird a grouping.

git rebase -i -r for advanced mode: git will keep merge commits, allowing you to make surgical changes to any side of a merge.

You can also disable compositing conditionally in KDE, such as when a game window is opened.
