I believe it was Blink-182 who said, "Work sucks". You have to pay people to do that stuff; they don't want to be there. And then you get into second order effects- costs plummet for anything labor intensive, including medica

I think it's a bit premature to say aligning is easier than expected. Our current AIs are sycophants, they lie about their progress, they circumvent access restrictions, they notice when they are being evaluated and change their behavi

If it were illegal to generate a sunset, people would absolutely seek it out to generate a sunset, if just as an act of civil disobedience. Look at how people reacted to being told sharing a number is illegal[1]. Why would they act differen

Being angry is not what is under discussion here. Abandoning the pursuit of truth is. Participating, either unthinkingly or with malice, in misinformation campaigns is not acceptable even if you're really mad. Start a 'AI will ste

Reassurance is identical to propaganda and manipulation insofar as all attempt to convey beliefs. Reassurance, here, should be apparently different in that it conveys true information. In the history of mankind, it has never been easier to

It might make sense for AI companies to throw agents at new technologies to trial-and-error their way to internal documentation which they then provide to their models. On the other hand, the people making tomorrow's APIs have LLMs too

Even assuming all of this is true, nothing you've said means it's wrong to want a billion dollars. As described, your issue is with the system that makes it possible to get it.

Copying someone's website contents is not a material programming project. I was thinking you'd say something like 90% of people would balk at this point and sure, maybe, but 10x as many people doing this doesn't matter becaus

A supervillain is nevertheless super. Intelligence doesn't correlate with morality- most probably there doesn't exist a 'true ideology' that can be solved for in absolute terms. Do you imagine a superintelligence could c

"Other countries" means China here, I think. China got a little on board with the global capitalism (and lifted 800 million people out of extreme poverty along the way, if we're looking for the point), but never really embrac

If human lives weren't inherently valuable, the concept of charity wouldn't exist. Where does that leave us? I think probably the line of argument doesn't work in either direction. Likewise, most of the time you don't ha

Fair enough, shame on me for assuming utilitarianism.

Of the set of people who have the idea to do this, who think to ask an LLM for help, and who can pay for the hosting, how many do you think would have been stopped by googling wordpress tutorials? Even if you do think that was a high barrie

I don't understand. In what way is plagiarism bad if it doesn't harm? If it were harmless to pretend you authored a unique take, how is the parent expected to react to you not harming them such that they realize it's bad?

It doesn't even show that LLMs can plagiarize through rewriting, is just asserts that. The audience is expected to already believe it. And, fair enough, it's true. But I can't make any sense of 700+ upvotes for what I'

But ChatGPT does nothing to scale copying somebody else's website. What are we talking about here, exactly? The article doesn't link to the original or clone, they don't mention rephrasing, and they specifically call out link

I get that the intention here is to plagiarize and thus cause the parent to feel the harm of it and realize the error in their ways, but I don't think it works. Plagiarism's harm to the plagiaree (?) is that it robs them of credit

I don't think GP is advocating that the US become more like europe by increasing the authority of police officers.

Right, I just responded to that claim. Do you have any thoughts on the disincentivizing effects of punishment? Or, if not, we can be more specific. Imprisonment means that an individual is separated from society, making it much harder for t

I get where you're coming from here- I also don't see justice as an inherent good. If somebody kills somebody else, the death penalty will only increase the number of victims by one. It does nothing to undo the crime. Karma isn&#x

What I'm saying is that this is incorrect. An "idea" exists within a model before it generates tokens. This property does not distinguish humans from LLMs. Additionally "from learned stats" doesn't disambiguate

by ToValueFunfetti 5mo ago
LLMs also don't run on tokens internally, they're just the inputs and outputs. The reasoning models do operate (partially) in the token space, but then so do I.

I suspect if you consider neurons as components of computation, you could draw an exponential of total computation in the world that goes back to the dawn of humanity, maybe further. Most of that would just be population, but interesting th

This is incorrect as written. The author contributed writing to AI-2027 but distanced himself from the underlying model. That model had 2027 as the modal year of AGI, not median or mean. The authors of that model revised it to a later date

While I don't disagree with your conclusion, this line of reasoning makes no sense in a two party state where each party offers a menu of positions. Supporters are forced to make tradeoffs and pretending otherwise just gives you an inc

You do have to imagine the political environment where unemployment is rapidly climbing among the middle class rather than the current status quo if your intent is to accurately predict the future.

A lot of people think closing the blinds will keep their houses cooler in the summer. In reality, their houses get warmer in the summer.
