Meditation and exercise are not comparable. The latter is something our bodies were designed by our evolution to do. The former is something we ourselves developed in certain cultural environments. The actual difference in confidence of ben

GPT-4 is not human level intelligence, nor is is above or below. It’s quite a different kind of intelligence not entirely comparable to humans. That’s probably why we’re moving the AGI goalpost; we visualize AGI as a robot human, but these

>Prosecution is a part of that, but only when alternatives have been tried and failed. We don’t disagree, but so far humanity as a whole has been unable to find as efficient prevention method as prosecution. Indeed it would be a better s

Knowledge of prosecution is part of the prevention though - some would say it is the most important part, since police can’t physically be everywhere preventing crime. If you just remove prosecution from the equation of policing, without ma

Nokia was slow to the party and competed between Apple and Android. When opportunity offered itself to adopt a third option, Windows Phone, with market monopoly, they took it. Problem was that a couple of years later Microsoft announced the

Doesn’t the former imply race and the latter place of living? In which case it would be more scientific to focus on the geography.

I really don’t find it plausible, and for a very simple reason: we humans are kinda dumb. We’re not reward optimizers, we are more like poor stochastic satisficers. A portion of us would always choose to explore reality instead of a simulat

Intelligence knows no time limits in extinguishing possible threats. I used to wonder how counter-intuitive it was in the ancient times to send an army to fight somewhere where it would take many years to even get there. But not sending the

I love the Wikipedia image. It adds no information value except underlying how ominous the theory makes the universe seem. Always gives me the chills.

LLMs are quite the mirrors for our own humanity. They’re midway between humans & rocks, but from a different direction than animals.

Our sense of ”is it okay to do this to this thing/being” is entirely based on pattern matching how similar we find that thing to ourselves with whatever criteria we deem relevant at the time. You as a human being cannot know what the i

I beg to differ. Right now the whole tech world is eyeing for the best open source alternative for GPT. A techy name matters little if it works and is accessible.

I hope not but day by day it seems more likely. If text-generating LLMs can reach superhuman cognition they will so so in a matter of a few years. At that point a Waluigi prompt will be like arming a virtual nuclear missile.

Walking robots is the one thing on that list which is unlikely to be solved by LLMs.

Depends on the market demand for knowledge work resources. Knowledge work mostly optimizes how well actual resources are produced and delivered to the consumer.

Indeed Google came up with Transformers and decided to gift the model to humanity. By broad strokes it was luck that OpenAI chose the seemingly right path of AI. Closest competitor DeepMind played games, which is intuitively closer to what

I think the big tech actors probably know. Information leaks and ultimately Google is spyware. Not that it will reach the public knowledge today, but that kind of information is difficult to keep in the bottle long time.

Yes, instead of advancing humanity, they are doing their absolute best to hinder it. Their scumminess becomes naked if you disconnect your perspective by thinking Earth an alien planet.

Super-human cognition? Hard to say. GPT-4 does raise the possibility of a machine writing smarter text than a human. What perplexes me is that since GPT is a predictor, it shouldn’t be able to write the smartest text - it should write the a

Your timeline is wrong, GPT-4 finished training already in August.
