   Here's the thing: you don't need AGI to have an alignment problem. It is predicting text, which is surprisingly closely aligned in most cases, but can fail spectacularly. As it becomes more capable and people give it more real-wor

   That has worked well for me too. I am a chronic procrastinator. When faced with a new task, I "trick" myself by saying I will just endure the tiny bit of pain to get started in some stupid, basic way (e.g. create a blank document

   Because, as a human, I can introspect my world model. I can explain it to myself and others. I can explain how it guides my decisions. I can directly update it without needing "training data". I don't have a map of my neurons

   I don't think ad hominems or the success of LOTR belittle the critics here at all. As someone who really enjoyed both the books and the movies, I read through this list nodding my head at each flaw. I think it's healthier to just

    > rhyming-philosophical-nonsense problems like “alignment” He takes this shot in passing and it is a great summary of how much he misunderstands AI safety. For many current researchers, alignment is a mathematical problem, not a philosop

    I am fully with you, but I regret to admit that given the multitudes of insects and arachnids in this world, the "usual amount of legs" is probably more than six.

    To replies about things never being anonymous: I'm the manager in this scenario, so I can tell you confidently that it is anonymous to the best of abilities. Perfect? No. Warranting of the fears in the article? Also no. But hey, ymmv.

    Is everyone really doing exit interviews this wrong? At my company the exit interview is with HR. All feedback is anonymous, rolled up with non-exit feedback, and delivered to managers/leads periodically so it can't be easily link

    Per the paper, 37.5% of the regularization regimes were Batch Norm + Weight Decay. According to other findings, Batch Norm and Weight decay have an interesting interaction that results in a learning rate adjustment, not regularization: htt

    Is the screen always on, or does it wake up on command? If so, how? If not, does it produce visible light in the room when not displaying? Amazing result, well done & thank you for sharing!

    I think there is a lot of truth here. I can't help but feel that you just diagnosed a great deal of the internet, far beyond javascript or dev. We need better communities and better communication. I wish I knew how to make that actiona

    I think the factual counter-argument is that child mortality has declined both from accidental drowning[1] and all causes[2]. I still think it is open to interpretation if helicopter parenting is causative or justified. [1] http:/&#x2

    Does anyone know of anything similar as a Sublime package? I already do my linting there, so this would be a great addition.

    Looks awesome so far! I wanted to give a thumbs up for adding the "seasonal" option. It is much appreciated and often overlooked.

    I do the same. I spend a lot of time sketching and mentally toying with it before I drop code. It gives me something to do on train rides and is a welcome luxury in comparison to agile.
