Saying the system learns to 'respond to its environment' is an overly generous description which muddles up what is actually happening.

In the Nordics, the welfare society was built during those decades. However, the system is steadily on the decline, though most don't see (or don't want to see) it yet. Perhaps there was something in the second world war which pus

I'd say the 20% fit comfortably in the Clueless zone. They're receiving a bad bargain and not actively maneuvering to actually improve it. But it's just a model anyway, models are never completely accurate.

Well, according to one theory, the Prince was supposed to be a Trojan Horse fooling the reader into acting against their best interests, since Machiavelli wrote it as a gift for his arch nemesis.

I think Musk is operating under his maxim that the survival of humanity trumps all. There is a tiny risk that the war in Ukraine escalates into a global nuclear war. Thus, from the point of view of the maxim, any and all sacrifices are vali

At least psychologically, there is a big difference between having an authority correct you versus having a number of minions each pushing their own opinion on you.

This is the best explanation I've seen for this.

Can you provide a link to the claim? Interesting if true.

Interesting. I've come to believe there are no such creatures as geniuses. Certainly some proportion of individuals have a different understanding of maths and physics which allows them to see solutions that others don't and gener

When they receive admittance of cheating, they are able to confirm their cheating detection works as intended. It's a two-way street.

It's difficult not to get cynical about such articles when cancer breakthroughs seem to emerge every other week. Quick Google search reveals that age-corrected cancer death rates have reduced 15% from 1990s. ( https://ourworl

Interesting. Is it limited to Twitter? I can see the company fearing a backlash in social medias where you're operating under your own name (and thus can be traced back to Google) but what about anonymous and semi-anonymous forums like

IMO no need for a disclosure if you're just stating a single fact.

The mistakes the AI makes are too numerous and hard-to-define for this to work I think. They could perhaps be addressed by having two different models trained differently, each fixing the errors of the other. When humans draw a realistic ar

It's certainly possible. I find it somewhat unlikely though, despite the fast-paced progress.

It may be that it's the deep learning tech which will never quite get there. GPT-3 has similar shortcomings in its mimicry. We're 95% there, I guess, but may never quite reach 100%.

Not only is that ugly, it's even more disturbing that users need to discover this themselves.

Restricting AI to the lower end of human intelligence (e.g. around IQ of 70) makes it a useful resource which is guaranteed to be safe. A 70 IQ human couldn't take over the world nor disarm any safety features built into their bodies.

I wouldn't make too restricted assumptions on the form of a future AGI though. I find theoretical projections from a more axiomatic level quite important. It's like making rules for nukes before they were invented by assuming an a

I see that the reason for climate change denial is two-fold; on one hand, climate change wrecking chaos is mainly restricted to projections, and on the other, climate change activists as a group express many qualities which make people not

Hypothetically, using AlphaGo as your cheating engine could produce moves which are undetectable to originate from an engine.

That we can agree on.

I think the only thing where we differ is that I consider elite university faculty (and the institution as a whole) to be part of the elite and you don't. I'm not saying either is correct, it's just where you draw the line.

by mach1ne 4y ago
Whether the origin of social justice in universities comes from students or the faculty is irrelative. Fact is that elite universities in the US stand strongly for social justice, and expressing those values in your essay and interview does

It is when the reason for deeming an idea foolish is the fact that a specific person said it. Most evident case of this is the lab leak theory, which became a complete taboo after Trump advocated it (though there obviously were other forces

This was where I got the idea, must have seen this in HN some time ago: https://twitter.com/mark_lynas/status/1545345583262695424 At least that source seems to claim exactly what I referred above.
