I'm pretty skeptical of "AI safety research" being a useful field of inquiry. I'm guessing the the problems AIs create among themselves will be similar to the ones Humans create. Things may start changing so fast it gets

My strategy is increasingly to not worry about optimization and instead write good semanticly correct code that the compiler can optimize.

Copyright needs to be largely abolished. This is ridiculous; we created A is that can program themselves and people are worried about incidental copyright infringement.

They're leading the way with open source models, I wish them the best!

They're the ones that released Stable Diffusion (the ML model that can generate images from text prompts).

I don't think defined benefit pensions are a very good idea.

I'd like to see hardware more suited for running sparse ML models. You don't need branch prediction like on a CPU but you also don't need as much shared memory as a GPU.

Almost anything can be modeled as a translation of one sequence of character to another sequence of text characters.

Yeah this is the opposite, they did impressively well with fewer parameters. In general larger models and more data has been an effective strategy for getting better performance but getting the right ratio is also important: https:/&#

The most notable thing about this model is that they use fewer parameters (20 billion) than many of the other LLM which makes it less resource intensive to train and easier to run. They also use an encoder-decoder architecture, which is com

A difference with crypto is that they won't be receiving a taxpayer funded bailout for any excesses so there's less moral hazard in the long run.

I think Tesla (partial) self driving cars have the lowest accident rates. Cyber security is a real concern though, imagine a mass hack terrorist attack where everyone's Teslas start acting unsafely simultaneously. If I had a self drivi
