Doesn't really matter. If the first generation of a movement doesn't actually believe in it, the second one still can. In this case if you can perform RL based on compliance to the document, it makes it real.

Unfortunately Ted Chiang has now started doing a lot of AI commentary, under the belief that because he wrote a story about something called AI, he knows how real-life things work, simply because they're also called AI. Noone can ever

True AGI (insofar as it's a computer program) would not be a mortal being and has no particular reason to have self-preservation or impatience. Also, lots of people enjoy bondage (in various different senses), are members of religions,

It's very unclear to me how it could be recovered if it wasn't part of the system prompt, especially how Claude knows it's called the "soul doc" if that was an internal nickname. I mean, obviously we know how it hap

Crimes generally don't pay and are not worth anyone's time. The reason poor people imagine billionaires commit lots of crimes is that the poor people don't know how to become rich; if they did, they would've done it alre

The AIs aren't using emdashes because they're "massively represented in the training data". I don't understand why people think everything in a model output is strictly related to its frequency in pretraining. They&

No, Anthropic and OpenAI definitely actually believe what they're saying. If you believe companies only care about their shareholders, then you shouldn't believe this about them because they don't even have that corporate str

This is an area where a difference in degree becomes a difference in kind quite easily. If an AI is telling you what it's looking at, it suddenly means a lot more once it… knows what it's looking at.

Lags behind meaning we haven't covered our buildings in LEDs? America is mostly suburbs and car sewers but that's because the voters like it that way.

Works for me. Turn on "allow Siri when locked"? If it doesn't know where you are then you might live in a Faraday cage.

Not precisely RLHF, probably a policy model trained on user responses. RL works on responses from the model you're training, which is not the one you have in production. It can't directly use responses from previous models.

There is a "secure element" which contains eSIM and NFC and is a separate chip. I believe NXP makes them but don't know. But there's plenty of other chips like power management.

There's actually an Orwell essay about this. https://www.orwellfoundation.com/the-orwell-foundation/orwel... The thing I find odd about British restaurants is that all the Japanese chains (Wagamama, Itsu) have nam

Surely Musk isn't a WASP. I think he's from Northern England (don't know why I know this.) You might as well call Paul McCartney a WASP billionaire.

Unfortunately one thing being homeless can do to you (or being a drug addict can do to you) is give you permanent brain injuries, at which point you are stuck that way. So there's circularity.

If Microsoft wanted Windows to run on Macs it would do it. There's ARM64 Windows already. You wouldn't enjoy it because it has an Apple GPU and most of the appeal in a Windows PC is the completely different Nvidia GPU.

EUV is an American technology which we decided to license to ASML/TSMC instead of Nikon/Canon. They do have their own knowledge but are not irreplaceable.
