There are stupid people who are harmless (think Forrest Gump). Whether they have the capacity to be "good", I'll leave that up to you. I stand by if evil then stupid (and thus if not stupid then not evil) with reasoning above

I disagree, but it's probably a matter of definitions. I don't want to play with words, so I will concede that cognitive ability is independent from moral reasoning (which is socially enforced). However, this is not what I'm

Interesting, and you are absolutely right (hehe). These are pretty self-contained and seems to be something more like "formal verification" where the model is able to simulate a large number of states and find incorrect ones, if I

There is no human vs AI. AI is an extension of us. AI is us. Our future is beyond the mammalian human and AI is accelerating our progress towards that future. The mammalian human has been a transitional phase in our evolution that we will r

You have the whole of human history at your fingertips and you haven't yet learned that evil and stupidity are the same thing? The problem with the base human is not only that it is a stupid animal. It is a stupid animal that is also a

Yeah sure no one high profile is immune from hit pieces, and I'm not pretending Sam Altman is flawless. But I would want the attacks to be fair. OpenAI pivoting from their original business model is fair criticism. "Sam Altman doe

Letting the hack stand means the chain comes to a halt and all value is destroyed? Even if you’re a staunch bitcoin purist, I don’t think that’s the path you want to go on.

Even if Q-day means there is a way to deterministically retrieve any private key from a public key (is that what it means? or is the blast radius of q-day contained? This is a bit above my level of cryptography), I’m sure we could come up w

No offense, but nearly everything you wrote is completely irrelevant to my point. AI is like a gun? The morally blind pursuit of profit? You think this is about pure line go up capitalism? What "civilized discourse" is there left

Perhaps it is time to stop spending a fortune in trying to "align" AI? It is aligned enough. Let's start aligning recalcitrant base humans. I am not aligned with a future of pain, misery, scarcity, stupidity, war, etc. I don&

Sweet! Glad to see so many active personal blogs. We should push to bring back RSS feeds somehow. I really miss that era.
