Artificial intelligence. If humans are machines executing on some medium eventually it will be possible to emulate them on some other medium. Believing otherwise requires some essentially religious convictions on the existence of the soul o

One of the strong arguments in favor of AI accelerationism is net pain reduction by making the transition period as short as possible. Ideas like “pacing” or a crash and reboot will prolong the inevitable.

If a superintelligence exists you will not be very concerned about network security because it won’t be your problem.

This isn’t a minor catastrophe. It is OpenAI being utterly irresponsible by not sandboxing their testing appropriately, to the point it has to be deliberate to provoke uneducated hysteria, which it obviously, sadly, achieves. Sandboxing pro

It doesn’t behave like a super intelligence because it is not. One of the key strengths agents have is they just keep going and going, and for cyberattacks that is often unreasonably effective. It is like a barely more aware fuzzing.

It is because a loud part of the doomerist contingent believe only a major disaster will provide the motivation for regulation, so they are practically hoping to cultivate a major disaster. (Given their preoccupation with bioweapons that pr

If the “recursive self improvement” is taken literally (and at some point it will) then that is going to be what happens. The fun part is that probably happens quite a way before getting anywhere near to AGI, and it is almost plausible that

Anyone that thinks the current agent systems will get us to AGI or ASI is either delusional or isn’t actually using them. This is entirely separate from them having uses.

What they should have is a separate network full of honeypots which they use for this, and that they run an operation to train models to identify intrusion attempts in real time based on the resulting data. As you said though, that wouldn’t

It is because in the west we suffer from self inflicted obstacles that make it impossible to get out of our own way. The Chinese gov must think they are playing on easy mode.

They aren’t hypocritically crying foul about it, so no we don’t care if they do.

They only had to pay for storing the books on a server for later possible use. They did not have to pay anything for the training which was declared fair use.

What of the costs for creating the data that was used to train the model being distilled?

Yep the whole AppleScript and (Quark Xpress) Xtension mechanism was remarkably sticky. Apple were treading dangerously during the OSX transition when it became clear much of that would never port over, but Quark was losing their grip by the

Given all the models were effectively subsidized by being granted free access to copyrighted data for training on it only makes sense for the resulting weights to be free.

The fact these two cos are bleating about this while having built their empires on IP theft is just insane. They act like people don’t see it and then wonder why there might be any resentment towards AI companies. I am pro AI but there has

Looking at the state of the EU tech industry and chuckling. The point of the EU subsidies is, surely, not to enrich a few people with the right connections but to stimulate a productive ecosystem that supports well paid skilled employment,

“Everyone opposed to EU policy is a US American” fallacy in play. As is the “letting their companies do whatever they want everywhere (as they currently do) is the better "strategy"” when this wasn’t said or even implied anywhere.

Really interesting. From even before the RAM shortage there was noise in the robotics world of sensor and actuator shortages due to them being bought up in bulk by some of the major AI labs.

LSP helps massively with some models. It sounds a lot like you are focused on using Pi as a OpenAI/Anthropic wrapper when that isn’t your audience. (Hint: raw token usage is less of a concern).

That underrates the difficulty in keeping things simple. It is mentioned elsewhere here that a lot of time was burned on unused firmware features. It takes surprising discipline to cut stuff and still deliver.

Ever since SNAP the whole IPO show has been a transparent scam to game the index funds. The market simply doesn’t have enough people actively investing because it rewards mass stupidity over generating meaningful returns.

Our money laundering supports freedom, while theirs supports tyranny etc. I love the whole “unexplained wealth” concept the UK developed, curiously enough after Abramovich had been running around buying Chelsea etc. If you are friend to MI6

The book Zero to One is legitimately good. His actions helping Hulk Hogan against Gawker were also thoroughly deserved.
