Google's arrogance here is astonishing. The police say no fault, and it's the subject of an NYT investigation, and they still won't restore the account. What hope do the rest of us have? I've been an Android user for a l

Completely agree. Some of the tools for interpretability can be useful (particularly for debugging), but I think the broader idea that we always need to be able to understand our own models is basically wrong. For example, if you want Alpha

What you're describing is called email. Seriously - it is exactly this, right?

If we a seriously believe AI is an extinction level risk, and getting there more slowly might improve our chances, then it seems like we should try anything with a good chance of working. I think this has a better chance of working than reg

I think @sama's plan isn't very likely to work. Once strong AI is possible, there's no regulatory structure that will keep the genie in the bottle for a meaningful amount of time. The only path I see with some prospect of suc
