That is most interesting. It's the same principle to why people consider Wikipedia to be unreliable. Letting people see the issues in one place creates a perception that they don't exist in places where you can't see them.

Wouldn't it be easier to prove that Florida causes an increase in murders and suicides. I live on the other side of the world, but it has somewhat of a reputation.

I think informed consent should exist for anyone to join a religion. I don't understand how anyone could believe anything else is consistent with faith. I also do not understand how people consider the violation of that consent to be

That was my take too. It seems like the issue people had was not the behaviour but that the behaviour came from an AI. If a human had have said those things wold people be ok with it? It didn't seem very nice, but not censor worthy.

I think on the scale of 5 years, the current political trends will still have more influence. Trump getting a third term, dying, or both. Reform possibly winning a UK election. How long Putin lives. These are quite significant influences

It puts me in mind of making a jig when woodworking. Make the thing when you need it. You don't need to maintain it, you don't need to sell it. It does it's job and you move on. If it does the job really well maybe you kee

Are you saying that it is irresponsible to test for regressions and to not document the ones you didn't find or that you think it is reasonable to expect regression tests for every possible regression?

How do you know that? How about if you draw a line graph of ability and sentience, We know two points. No ability at all has a sentience of zero. Human ability has a sentience of 1HS (one human sentience). Mark a point where you thin

I'm not sure why you think a temporary cessation of activity is relevant at all. Would you think of a hypothetical machine that could freeze a human to absolute zero and restore them again sufficient to declare their behaviour when unf

Intelligence alone does not, but when combined with knowledge I think it may do. Having a wide breadth of knowledge and the ability to consider it tends to provide a good foundation of perspectives for positive values. Most harms that peopl

I think there's probably quite a lot of effort going into not wanting to answer that question. What happens if we make something that wants to do something else? What happens if we make something that wants full stop? People talk a

I am discussing outcomes, not methodology. The methodology describes the effort you may be putting into something, The outcomes are about what results are you prepared to accept. Would you ship an update with a security fix if it had been

No, but that's probably a required skill to have before you initiate claims as to what the cause of the loss of functionality was.

Would you hold off on fixing a security vulnerability if it caused a limited regression? Regressions should be fixed expediently, but if you apply the criteria "need to not happen" they are literally blocking issues. They could t

Well to look at the last of that list. It added 134 - 3 lines to the project. Of which, the actual change was - __m256i mul_one; - mul_one = _mm256_abs_epi8(_mm256_cmpeq_epi16(mul_one,mul_one)); // se

That is a list of problems, not causes, which is what was being asked for. It's possible it's some LLM randomness that caused bugs. That would suggest that some AI hygiene is in order. If it is because of behaviour changes neces

I think it's worth noting that you can tilt with this method, but not roll. Great for a helicopter game, Less so for general flight sim. That was a large part of how games were designed back in the day. Start with what you have the a

What an odd tangent. Perhaps if you named the place I would be more able to assess information. I have little to go on, when you say privately owned? By whom? Is the ungoverned nature recognised by the country within which it resides?

But you don't have to pay them even if you lose the suit. No police. If they try to take by force you can defend your property and your life.

So you can build a house in the middle of a street? If someone tries to stop you, by what authority? If they can stop you, there's your government. More than 100,000 people? Even Kowloon had a degree of management by criminal groups.

There are governments at many levels. I don't think a city of more than 100,000 would be possible without a substantial amount of civil management. Deciding with bits are for streets and which bits are for buildings needs an arbiter of

Perhaps Geoffrey Hinton was right about sarcasm. I was suggesting that telling people to avoid a technical solution because there is a preferable solution does not guarantee the preferrable solution is possible.

There is a difference between being unable to tell if something is true or false and bring unable to tell if something is real or not. Eveyone has things that they don't know the answer to. There are also plenty of things that an indiv
