This is equivalent to building an LLM that is unjailbreakable. The human control can just pass jailbreaks to the examiner. I don’t think it’s solved.

Not really. The model for AGI is a human by definition. We have a lot of those.

I think you’re a bit confused—these models are trained by copying works, and the memorization is the incontrovertible proof. Imagine if you download a font and use it to make a logo without paying to license the font.

Appreciate the British perspective. I don’t think that would work in the US; the people at the top are the rainmakers for their parties, and the party will take care of them somehow. Rather I think it’s more interesting in a knowledge econo

A flat $1MM/yr for all 2.87 million federal employees is only 2.87 tn. Could produce some interesting results.

From FAA.gov: > We're responsible for the safety of civil aviation. https://www.faa.gov/about/mission/activities Maybe the people responsible are the people who say they’re responsible?

For the same reason I can’t operate an orbital rocketry program out of my backyard. Dangerous stuff in the sky is dangerous to everybody on the ground, too.

Members of the public should be encouraged to ask how this happened because they’re the ones who trust their lives to these planes. The airline industries in places where the public couldn’t ask questions did not make flying ridiculously sa

It’s divisive. Almost nobody involved in this kinda stuff is at all curious how actual slaves thought about language. People just want an in group and an out group. And there’s an endless parade of grifters willing to provide that.

Think the govs lost their vetoes a while ago. Airbus is now a play by American asset managers AFAIK. Since the market’s mature, it’s more attractive and profitable to buy up programs like the A220 and farm EU subsidies vs. betting on a Boei

Now that’s a dude who’d been around the block a few times. It’s just not worth it to do business with people who treat you like garbage. No matter how big you are or how small they are.

What you’re describing is an automated system for the government to control information shared between two private parties. We don’t have that here.

They’re basically what Soviet intelligence classified as “the shiteaters.” People with money and a good life who inexplicably want to eat shit.

That’s not true. There’s a whole history of legislation and publications, e.g. https://bjs.ojp.gov/library/publications/intellectual-proper... and https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/PLAW

Not really, it’s a bunch of slightly outdated cognitive psych/neural computation stuff. It’s looking plausible that neurons use transponsons etc and subtle timing effects to do an extreme amount of processing. I mean, what’s happening

I think you’re misunderstanding tying by getting it backwards. If you want to buy Windows, you have to install Internet Explorer and agree not to install Netscape Navigator. The issue is the economic interest in the product being sold. The

Isn’t iMessage a service, not a protocol? Should I be able to operate a business that sends bulk advertisements to iMessage users?

Questions of law are settled by the courts, not private lawyers and federal agencies. If police officers show up and arrest somebody, the public is allowed to have an opinion. We don’t just throw up our hands and say police officers know be

It was super obvious, which is why elections occurred in even more hyper-connected settings. Election day meant drinking in the pub with your fellow landowners. If you were going to vote for bullshit, you had to stand up in front of your ne

GDPR is about giving control to people by disallowing data controllers from just passing the buck to 3rd party data processors. But you can already just not work for Elon if you think he’s an asshole. What’s the compelling state interest he

I dunno, it more or less calls Elon an asshole. I dunno if blasting that to the whole company is protected. Seems like disruptive behavior which the employer may lawfully regulate.

The carbon comes from the ground. The car’s just the delivery mechanism. Why not phase out fossil fuel production à la the Montreal Protocol? If somebody somewhere someday can make money burning oil, they will. Buying an electric car isn’t

Gotta disagree. The President of Harvard should be stellar in front of Congress. Otherwise don’t go. I watched bits and pieces of President Gay’s remarks, and she was not stellar.

The problem here is we need solutions that work, not magical thinking. Otherwise credibility goes in the toilet. It’s self-evident in the face of an aerosol-generating respiratory pandemic that social distancing, surgical face masks, and im

Typically we’d need a compelling state interest before we violate people’s rights, no? I mean there’s plenty of authoritarian countries out there to move to if you’d like—we don’t need to become one of them.
