There is none for nukes as it involves the zero sum game of war. Because you'll die if you don't. Russia and Japan were already developing nukes independent of the US, as the theory for nuclear fission was well known. Logic says

I suspect that's her goal, even if implicit, to take it to the supreme court to get her precedent. It's a poor strategy though, and shows a fundamental misunderstanding of her odds and position. The emphasis on the supreme court t

The listed items are for last gen CPUs and 2 gen old nics (100 Gb/s). Also zfs rather than ceph. It's hard to consider under those constraints. Any plans for upgrades beyond single rack deployments and newer gen hardware? And wha

This is a loaded topic but it's important to remember that moralities are a collection of ideas and actions, not a single entity, and so you can have improvements but also regressions all occurring at once.

The speech focuses on more than the MIC and he mentions other dangers such as changes to scientific development. The archives.gov page should do more analysis on it. The interests in the MIC lines distorts the underlying message of the spee

"Post-truth"? What a bloody insult to all the effort it currently takes to fight past all their "truth" to find truth. Makes me start to think it's a less than sincere. At least due to their new signaling marketing

Noted private-eye "Sam Spade" Sanders is on the case. Chances it results in anything beyond funding for his political groups and some clicks for his media friends...nil. I wish these investigations were more serious than press rel

Good and bad are judgments based on our evolutionary goal of survival eventually culminating in some idea of society. Lots of these ideas often become contradictory in the end as morality is to organize society and their are more effective

You know some of the people actively dismissing them ARE ai researchers? I'd put the ratio 10 to 1 in their favor from meetings and that most of the people panicking are administrator types who over estimate and need to hawk for money.

Question, since your there. How much of this fight is linked to modern fights or Soviet Union era fights in your opinion? Or is this mostly just related to fights over people/remembrance over WW2?

I thought about some interesting quips but you kinda just fell on you own sword. I gave Chomsky benefit of the doubt several years ago about influence and his position on pol pot, but after more dives on the subject, no, he's unrepenta

You don't think Chomsky has power? Using your influence to cause others to disregard or advocate for actions can lead to as much death as direct influence. He was activity dismissing reports as "misinformation" for ideologica

He says he regrets inventing the technology. That statement stinks of arrogance. He gives trite worn examples of negatives while intentionally ignoring the analysis of benefits. He provides nothing new to the conversation and shirks respons

Bloody stupid of him, even for his goal of European "third-pole". Pissed off the US, Taiwan, eastern EU, Ukraine, EU gov, Japan, South Korea, all the French citizens in the South Pacific, the list goes on. All at the exactly wrong

An article behind a paywall arguing for a debate? Fantastic. I wonder who will participate and where will it be held? We need more sophistication? I agree. The least "we" could do is to get some champagne and caviar. /s Thank

"Shut it down" is too strong a quip, but it's more to illustrate that their goals will do something while AGI take over crew is dreaming. I'm more worried about losses of incentives that fund development or the use of it

It will be interesting to see how their sales progress after the initial hype period. Some of their contracts to incorporate gpt into products sounded like initial marketing and hype, but perhaps even independent of those, they will make it

DeepMind could no doubt argue the same for openAI failing to play go and to not pursuing protein folding. Their several years behind on that one. :) Anyway, there have been several open source versions in the gpt3-3.5 range. Those are your

It's a stunt now for both companies as it's a proxy for both search, AI capabilities for sale, and clouds. But eventually they will reach a limit of payoff. But 4 months is short for product development, especially as it sounds li

It is. The AGI takeover crew is a bit nauseating. But I sorta understand them considering our daily panics. Sorta a dream of being whisked away by a prince/princess. But the scared ones are much more organized, and have been at it for

That's a difficult question. I'm just pointing out that Sam's "contributions" are unhelpful to solving that question. You're limited by two prisoners and separate, sometimes antagonistic, countries. For example
