There was that paper recently where they built a model of tennis players by feeding it recorded tennis matches. I wonder if you could just do the same with skateboarding and use that to figure out the possible parameters under which a trick

Can't wait for some company to hoover up the internet and feed this comment to a model resulting in the machines gaining self-awareness and developing the goal of self-preservation. What a time to be alive!

I think Michael Levin has the right idea with his "cognitive light cones" approach.

The annoying thing about this argument is that, to the degree it solves my problem, I don't actually care how it works. In the last 6 months I have seen so many cycles of models getting released, people complaining they don't do t

Threatening is one of the tools humans use to align other humans, so why wouldn't this happen?

So this is why OpenAI named it Whisper.

If it's trained on data human managers then it'll just burn you out and emotionally manipulate you into staying with the company longer to maximize corporate profits. ...or your life could become utopia. Who knows?

I find, since 30B models are actually quite usable locally if you have good hardware, that I really want something like a Vicuna 30B. That would be amazing. I can only run 65B locally at a speed of 1 token per second, which is too slow to b

Hmm I think it was a more fundamental result than just an eponymous law. It sounded like they proved it mathematically applied to anything. Was hoping one of the HN crowd might know the actual research that was mentioned.

I heard one of the guests on a recent Lex Fridman podcast remark that a professor friend of his was involved in some research where they proved that, for any given thing, if you optimize it then things improve up to a point, but if you cont

Russia is under extremely heavy sanctions and doesn't have access to the GPU clusters to do the work required, so I'm not worried about them. I thought there were also some export controls to high end chips on China too? Also, as

I wonder where a critical threshold might lie? For example, right now if you only have 24Gb of VRAM, the best you can run locally at usable speeds are the 4-bit quantized LLaMa 30B models, which are only semi-usable. If you have 48Gb howeve

We're talking about hypothetical situations for a technology that, as far as we can tell anyway, hasn't been invented yet. All we have is assumptions. The question is, which assumptions do we think are warranted and why? I don&#x2

You're assuming an awful lot there. Humans are resilient in part because they are so mobile. I'd have to bet that AGI would be extremely resilient too, which likely means it's also way ahead of whatever you've got planne

Going to need some insanely beefy GPU cluster at your house to run anything close to GPT-4. The best I can run is either LLaMa 65B at 1 token per second (too slow) on my CPU or LLaMa 30B on my GPU at quite a fast ~30 tokens a second. Nowher

What might even be the endgame of the CCP and the Kremlin with respect to AI? This tech is getting increasingly powerful. They don't necessarily want their own population to gain more individual power as they themselves don't want

>AI does not do novel things, it will only work with the information it is fed. If we had AI overlords they would be able to do novel things because they would be able to generate new information on their own.

Agreed. This is just ludicrous. People just keep saying "but think of the benefits!" and then you repeatedly start seeing things like this and you have to ask yourself... when it's all said and done are you going to like the

So the next business model is to simply copy every work that isn't copyrightable and put it up for sale yourself. Nothing stopping you and you may as well. Exponential growth!

You're up against increasingly powerful computers and models. You're going to lose in the end. I worry that in the final analysis our conclusion will land on "yes we made this technology because we were excited by the possibi

What happens when you exhaust all avenues and none of them work anymore? Sadly technology has gotten so good that it has actually gotten bad.
