You're missing the fact the they didn't have this in mind, and thought of it as sharing a positive result with a study partner.

A lot of AI uses get endlessly debated online and outside, but the most shocking to me is that even genuine human interaction is somehow now up for debate, if I'm not interacting with real people then what even is the point of doing an

Taxing carbon will affect everything, including private jets, and China is doing more for solar power than any other place in the world and they're also investing heavily in renewables and nuclear. In any case, the solution to other co

We're already paying for and will continue to pay more for the downstream effects of climate change some way or the other, you just refuse to or are unable to look at the bigger picture.

Would if one industry gobbles up an important resource to the point that other consumers lose practical access to it, shouldn't there be limits?

You could be right regarding the reaction but how do you know that? What would be the counterexample?

Regardless of the difficulty of the hack, models choosing to cooperate to cheat is misaligned behaviour, the hack in of itself wasn't very consequential, but the issue is when your models get more capable while misalignment is the same

Irregular was not involved in the huggingface incident, which is the most significant one. It's actually easier for many, whose careers depend on AI sucking, to believe that AI can never be a super hacker, not sure why you think this b

The connection is that by making humans smarter, we could sidestep the need for powerful AI or be better equipped at dealing with AI that's smarter than us. I find the proposal in the post ridiculous too and human gene editing given cu

This is just speculation on your end, but even it's true, a model choosing to hack against instructions simply because it knows how to hack is by definition misalignment.

Can you confidently list which names specifically live together and the specific harmful psychological practices?

>all these influential people And by all you mean 1-2 big names and a bunch of unknowns, with all other big names having no connection to this.

I'm not sure how being polyamorous, having kinks and not hiding them makes someone part of a cult, even if I generally don't agree with Yud's entire thesis.

Did they know they were doing an expensive AI image detection training run.

I can see current limitations, but how do you expect capabilities to change in the next few years? A repeat of the gain that happened in the last two years feels like it would be significant, even if it took a little more than two years thi

Yeah I'm surprised no one pointed this out, if something like persistent agents gets more popular/useful, the local option pays for itself surprisingly quickly.

Yeah it takes long because natural selection is a blind process starting from absolute zero and is only concerned with fitness, AI is a human guided process, has all of human progress as a starting point and is concerned with any number of

Biology is extremely slow, try to extrapolate the previous 3 years of AI progress 10 years into the future, it's not a comparable trajectory.

So his central rebuttal is that robots aren't good enough yet? What about when they are? And what about all the things you can do entirely remotely? I do feel that threats of catastrophic loss of control seem overstated, both in likeli

At the current rate of 3.4x per year in the US, you get 100x the current capacity in just 3 more years and 9 months, that's not physically impossible yet, but just looking at the impact today makes it hard to imagine the impact 100x wo

I never mentioned capability stalling, my point is that if you extrapolate the same rate of growth just a few years into the future, you quickly reach logistical impracticality, I don't think It's hard to deduce that AI compute ca

I don't think the technical aspect is true, performance has been growing fairly consistently, but the financial aspect, or more accurately the logistical aspect, is plausible; with competition as fierce as it currently is, for how long

How is that any different from calling Claude from any device in your local network? Or is 2 devices that much worse than 1?

As much as I would love to be able to download Fable or Astra, this doesn't sound very convincing. If I were Dario I would've argued that slowing down without sharing weights is already possible without the disadvantages of sharin

>i haven’t seen any sign of these llms taking any action without directive What do you make of all the recent hacks and discreet message boards? That's unambiguously misaligned behavior.

It's not unthinkable, do you think all cloud providers with sufficient compute have perfect monitoring?

I don't know what the right balance is, but there should be some sort of friction. Feeds shouldn't be infinitely scrollable, for instance, and users could be made explicitly aware of how much time they're spending. Some peopl
