I would frame things a little differently. Light makes a lot of mistakes because the Death note is incredibly powerful and there would be almost no reasonable way for L to catch Light without Light making obvious mistakes (and would also ma

To clarify the Death Note rules discussion, this would be possible, but would need to be adjusted such that it's something the company heads would have reasonable done. So something more akin to "Ceo Ceoson, overcome by immense gu

Allow me to repost Altman's wager: - If OpenAI does not achieve AGI, and you invested in it, you lose some finite money (or not, depending on the value of their other R&D) - If OpenAI does not achieve AGI, and you did not invest in

I agree that the issue is not quite as simple as "just let everyone do their own thing". I also don't know how I would ease my kids onto the Internet - I feel like it was a less dangerous place when I was growing up. My very

I actually think AI will never really make great "pop chart hits", for the mundane economic reason that once we figure out how to make good music with AI, it will be possible to absolutely flood the market with that genre of mus

I absolutely agree. Invasions are bad, crossing "community" boundaries is. I think that's also part of the "Internet Etiquette" to be learnt: what happens in one domain of the Internet should stay in that domain of

Yes, I got that feeling as I was writing it. For example, take the list I mentioned: - strict laws - heavy bureaucracy - expansive regulation - government involvement in business - politics are dominated by one political party All of these

There's essentially a push to relabel/rename many "unsupervised" methods and "self-supervised". Yann Lecun is one of the more famous proponents of this ( https://www.facebook.com/yann.lecun/

I have the opposite view: the success of GitHub and the growth of code being open by default with everything running through git has probably brought more people into the git ecosystem than would have otherwise. I primarily use GitHub, but
