“We clearly can’t “trust” these companies not incentivized to randomly kill lots of people, so we might as well give everyone the ability to randomly kill lots of people”.

It’s interesting that most of the examples people making this argument give are high consequence, high difficulty (could you actually murder your coworker with a pen? I’m skeptical.) low kill count methodologies of violence. We’re specifica

The ideas are dumb. They wouldn't kill anyone, the barrier to entry is too high and you'd trivially be caught and punished.

No, you don't. What stops people is actually access to knowledge. There are killers of varying levels of efficacy; making killing easier means more people die. It's 1-1.

You could literally develop a hyper-intelligent advisor on how to kill people or perform dangerous hacks using ablated 'open source' AI. You can do this right now, this very moment, and have an extremely adept advisor on how to do

>According to the IAU working definition (from August 2018) an exoplanet can orbit a brown dwarf. It requires a mass below 13 MJ and a mass ratio of M/Mcentral<2/(25+√{621}), or roughly 1/25. This means that an object w

I do the same kind of thing. "You're smarter now, time to try to cut down dumbo ChatGPT". High IQ bros.

I’m certain they did. The problem is… what are you going to do about it? This is obviously an idiotic and dangerous Cold War and has no happy ending.

Via sophisticated cyberattacks, which we know are now possible on an unprecedented scale without nation state resources or capabilities. Have you… have you been following the news at all? This isn’t science fiction. It’s happening right now

You could, in theory, use an unbounded GPT-6 level model to basically destroy the world economy for many years.

The problem is that it’s impossible to out think a robot you designed to be an expert at cybersecurity on the topic of cybersecurity. The alternative is not developing this and that’s not going to happen.

That's nice. It's called Alpha Zero specifically because it was trained from scratch - zero, not on human data.

by catigula 3mo ago
No, they are not. Specifically, this was a method based specifically on learning from scratch, like most modern AI models. Why do you think it's called Alpha ZERO?

Chinese models, hurray!

I think you misunderstood. “Narrative” typically frames something as polemic or open to interpretation, which this is about equally so to the whole “spherical Earth” story.

by catigula 3mo ago
Narrative? Kind of like the sphere Earth narrative.

Damaging American AI companies just means that China has the lead with closed models. China isn’t an altruistic state. They’re an aggressor in many fields, economic and otherwise, and this one of them.

Companies had Claude Mythos access in April. Low chance this is on that level.

The extinction threat from AI to all organic species is a little more comprehensive than a little bit of extra concrete, per the people making the AI themselves (I disavow this etc. etc).

The state intervened to stop the Chinese from sabotaging their furnaces. Seems like an open and shut case unless you have 5 eyes intelligence sources.

Unfortunately, his plans aren't very good. Being good at developing AI and being good at AI safety are diametrically different skillsets with obvious conflicts of interest.

Tariffs and import controls. Why do you think that BYD is banned from the US?

Which "frontier models" are you familiar with in a programming context? I'm a staff engineer and the amount of work and even troubleshooting the latest crop of LLMs can do at my behest is jaw-dropping. I perused your comment

Any need to address the huge numbers of foreign workers in America putting direct, nonnegotiable pressure on those jobs? It's time for the program to end.

by catigula 3mo ago
Sorry, but you aren't familiar with frontier models if you think it's not "good enough". The latest models are quite a bit more capable than most people in many regards already.

>As long as the term “AI” means by-and-large LLMs with additional features sprinkled on top, the answer is no. More likely (without careful vetting by the folks aggregating these models) is that the quality will go down as more and more

Paying people less and replacing them with AI is the literal explicit strategy; I get that this was supposed to be a cynical comment but it's basically just factual.

>Every human being is self-interested, at least to some degree. So, it is perfectly expected that he seeks money, fame, status, power, sex, etc. Bit of a reach there.
