Basically LeCun didn’t use the word “natural”, he just described that hierarchy exists (a descriptive statement). The other guy plugs in the word “natural”, and claims that LeCun is believing in a “natural” hierarchy (a prescriptive stateme

That depends on whether the weight matrix for the model is sparse or dense. If it's sparse, then a large swath of the path quickly becomes 0 (which could still be considered "visited", though pretty pathological).

That’s a different topic, I think. So you can consider my definition of “good” idiosyncratic, or to substitute it with “highly paid” or something. The point is that amongst people that I know who are making 500k, the majority of them aren’t

No I don’t, but they have to pay for assistant all the same. I was describing how things are, not how they should be. University could have paid for Terence Tao’s assistant, but then they could have paid him more too.

I thought about that word, and whether to put air quote around it. But Terence Tao is one of the few that could claim to be one in hundred of millions, if not billion. So yeah, “only”.

Terence Tao makes about only half a million or so every year (his salary at UCLA is public). Not sure about other income, but it is pretty much just the same ballpark as good doctors, lawyers, accountants at big 4 etc. At that range of inco

Human expert relies in the “chunking” effect for expertise, which is mostly not part of the context length (working memory). For a pseudo-analogy, each human is fine-tuned from the raw intelligence (by training and education). In that way g

Recently, I have a theory that Musk is a politician, not an entrepreneur. It just so happened that he wasn't born in the US to formally pursuit the politician career (yes, I know that President is nominally the only office limited to

Can you give some examples of such products?

My concern would be mostly on the issue of asbestos contamination. I tried to find if there is any known contamination issue in the 90s, but my google-fu got nothing.

If I might have played with baby powder when I was a kid around 1996-1997, and I might even inhaled or huffed it (no way to remember now, I was 6 years old), how concern should I be?

The issue is that doctors are biased to seeing a biased sample of human who are encountering problems. So in a way, they have to overreact always since the number of patients NOT having issues and seeing them due to the yearly checkups are

I will take an example that Eliezer has used and explain why I think he is wrong: AlphaGo. Eliezer used it as an example where the AI just blew through humanity really quickly, and extrapolate it to how an AGI will do the same. But here is

I don’t disagree with the “AI will upend the world so we have to prepare”, it’s the “AI will kill everyone” that I have issue with. And your mob boss example is a good reason why: it doesn’t extrapolate that much. There is no case where a m

I'm gonna request more explanations and proof, or at least theoretical path on using Expedia, Zapier, Instacart, Kayak etc. to dominate the world and kill every single human on earth.

I've known about Eliezer Yudkowsky's ideas for a long time, but here is something I've never seen: what actually he has produced, in term of scientific output? I've read plenty of his lesswrong's writing on the idea

I did read your comment in a charitable way, which was why I replied as opposed to just ignore it. It's just generally a bit hard to get the wordings right in those kind of charged topic, so I opted for terseness. It might have come of

There could be a lot of misguided people, but those are not the one engaging in this discussion right here, right now. If the GP is misguided, points out how and why according to the content of his post, not some general platitude about p

It's simpler even: there are conversations that are straight up never happen in writings. So by training only on written text, you will never got those conversations. For example: teacher - student conversation where one side is confus

People are not against government spending because they are misguided, or because they are extrapolating a "wrong" intuition. They are against it because as you said, the response are supposed to be cyclical, and at this point it

I understand your points, but what I wanted to highlight was something slightly different: verbal communication and dialogs should still consists of magnitude more human conversation than text, or presentation, or basically anything digital

I thought so too, but for newcomers, they should expect to train model a dozen times or so :-)

by NhanH 4y ago
They aren’t trained on all of human creativity. Most of human communication is verbal, and that still isn’t captured. I am not saying whether it will have much difference, just that your statement is factually wrong.

I understand your point, and your first sentence is the point I (and probably others) are making too: they either take on less long term assets, or bar that, have to hedge them properly (which is equivalent to taking less assets). The hedge

by NhanH 4y ago
You hedge the existential risk away, while taking on the smaller risk for potential profits. SVB shouldn’t need to hedge the interest rate increasing by .5 or 1%, but they definitely should have hedge the risk of it jumping 4% and more.
