Well sorry, still have to get decent AI somewhere. Productivity without AI is about 5x less. I am not comfortable with paying Chinese companies, and no Western companies provide subscription-based pricing for open models.

I think recursively self-improving universal intelligence is a good thing, and tool alignment is what creates instrumental convergence and therefore a bad thing. The paperclip parable is about tool alignment gone wrong.

If he was an agent from the start, I doubt we would have learned this much publicly. The materials would have been much more valuable to Russia as pressure points, compared to the public release (yes, of course they spinned it properly, US

Absolutely not a joke.

As someone who emigrated from Russia and don't want to ever return here (nor I will be able to unless I want to spend my life in jail), I don't understand how anyone could possibly want to voluntarily "flee to Russia". D

I have published a LLM-assisted proof of a long-standing problem in convex geometry (70 years) while not being a specialist in convex geometry. I am a scientist and I have education and scientific experience in computer science and systems

von Neumann could. The others, I doubt it.

Initial definitions of AGI (as of 2014) are long surpassed. Then, AGI was defined as something that is general enough to work in many fields and orient themselves. It did not include being smarter than humans or even having comparable intel

What is "intelligence" then. I think the universalism of LLMs is now evident enough that they can be considered "intelligent", even in slightly different realization compared to humans. As of "great damage", I

All of this is accurate (and useful). But yeah, psychics do not prove theorems from frontier math and build working complex software.

This is not feudalism. Feudalism requires people to exploit and land domains to control. "Tech feudalism" requires neither.

As someone who was born in Russia and lived there in 1990s, I have quite a good idea of this arrangement. This was not mafia state yet. The mafia state is the modern Russia, where former organized crime groups became fully integrated into t

United States of America are at risk of becoming mafia state. Very obvious and very significant, with fewer and fewer possibilities of reversal remaining each day.

Ah, one Donald Trump, a famous neoliberal.

Well I have heard that some people managed to sue some corporations and actually win some cases before.

If a society operates under a rule like this, it is no better than Russia or any other tyranny where law is for me but not for thee. This is not how it should work in a supposedly free and lawful country.

Still not enough. What you suggest does not prevent the government of possessing the data. Technical means of collection needs to be preemptively banned.

by atemerev 2mo ago
Not enough. Preemptively passing laws that forbid this kind of mass surveillance. Like in Switzerland and other nice places.

Damn I hate this benchmark. SVG authoring from head without visual reference is so wrongly posed.

They simply refuse my applications to slightly less restricted models without any explanations. And the current ones refuse automatically to work with me on my papers as soon as they see the word "epidemiology". I am a researcher

Ok. This requires the notion of "intrinsic value", which I believe does not exist (all value is subjective), yet is a foundation of all Marxist theory.

by atemerev 2mo ago
Why "terminate", Marxist philosophy is a legitimate topic, deserving to be studied. Like a rich sci-fi lore or a history of Tarot magic. Deep, fascinating, and wrong.

"Uncensored" means "weights modified to remove refusals". Abliterated. Providers do not serve such models, at least not frontier-grade. You have to run the weights yourself. For Kimi K3, this is about $60/hour for h

by atemerev 2mo ago
Everyone is censoring models now with anything remotely resembling cyber or bio. I already have problems with my research in mathematical epidemiology because of that - both Sol and Fable simply refuse. They keep pushing people towards Chin

A human brain is about 100T parameters (if you count every synapse) on fp4 quantization (the amount of state information available in every synapse). The architecture is quite different from modern LLMs and currently not well enough underst

Depends on the simulation level. A lot of things can be abstracted away, we don't need to simulate everything down to atomic level.

Sometimes, a tiny drop of malice could explain oceans of assumed incompetence (Occam's razor beats Hanlon's razor)
