I heard something about a large competitive programming tournament (i.e. a commercial one) happening at a nearby time to AoC, I think it was that for at least one person. (I also don't think it's unimaginable; lives change, everyo

No worries, but I think we're still dancing around the same point. I think those people would say that they agree that nuclear war is very bad, and that it has many nth-order consequences which are all clearly catastrophic, but that (f

And the inverse: the VAD would wait longer than necessary after a person says e.g. "What do you think?", in case they were still in the middle of talking.

Would it be possible to reduce lag by streaming groups of ~6 tokens at a time to the TTS as they're generated, instead of waiting for the full LLM response before beginning to speak it?

So, Eliezer has "AI could kill us all surprisingly soon", and Yann LeCun has "AI is not dangerous but concentrating access to it is" (which feels self-contradictory as I write it) -- who is on the side of "AI could

(Neither nuclear war nor climate change are considered as this-century extinction risks by the singularity-minded side of the existential risk community, just because there would necessarily be pockets of unaffected people.)

Yes, agree with you that it's a conspicuous consumption kind of thing.

> an AI completely takes over, self-sustains by manufacturing killer robots and running power plants etc. You don't need any killer robots at all if you possess a superhuman level of persuasion. You can use killer humans instead.

Sorry to be the thread's unwanted armchair fake psychologist, but you might consider getting an ADHD screening if you haven't, just because some (possibly all) of the experiences you described seem compatible with unmanaged ADHD.

The paper it originates from predates ChatGPT (let alone GPT-4). So I think a charitable interpretation is that it was partly wrong (and definitely unimaginative) at the time, and partly it's the case that very few people were expecti

That attitude is how you get a double digit percentage of pilots suffering from untreated mental illness while attempting to continue to fly passenger planes, yes.

I don't see the system for pilots as being praiseworthy. European airlines do not allow pilots to take prescribed antidepressants. It leads to outcomes like a severely psychotic pilot refusing to get appropriate help because they wil

It's odd to call this a post-mortem without discussing anything about the circumstances of the creation, what their root cause was, and how that will be avoided in future.

I agree with you that we don't know! But my thesis is that we should still do our best, when considering how much risk the systems we maintain should be willing to keep operating through.

Great post. This part goes too far, I think: > Human lives were kept safe at all times > The consequence of all this was not that any human lives were put in danger, .. When you're arguing that cancelling 2000 flights cost £100M
