Let's swap it out for the AI cartel!

Exactly. Most results will stay "useless" in the sense of not having a direct application. But the process of having figured out those results is a necessary step on the way of figuring out those few things that eventually do have

Port mirroring is the network engineer's equivalent of using breakpoints in a debugger for a programmer. It allows you to inspect what happens on the wire to get a clue for what's wrong.

I disagree with the notion that any nature protection efforts are meaningless until we have achieved world peace. (That's what you are essentially implying.) Though I think that argument is not even applicable. "LLM's welfare

Consciousness is not restricted to a single animal species we call humans. The other animals don't have similar rights. (Arguably they should have more rights, but only few would desire for them to have just as many rights as humans ha

One of the key players is literally called "anthropic". How much more indication do you need that LLMs are anthropomorphized? > We will have created a synthetic species Doesn't the author kill their argument with this sent

How is it less beautiful? Honest question, curious to hear about what that means to you.

Oh boy, just what the world needs right now. Open source weapons APIs!

> a bunch of research What exactly is your "research"? Is it reading more bodybuilder forums (bro science) or is it physiological studies (actual science)?

by teiferer 12d ago
Ok, then let's go with that viewpoint and apply it to the original question: How much do you need to remove from the training data such that from what remains, nothing harmful can be "merely interpolated" (which you acknowled

It's not clear where the line between "interpolate" and "new" goes. They can infer that certain chemicals in combination create a boom and that boom is bad for health and finally those 1 and 1 make a 2 without havin

If there is an escalator that is known for killing every 1000's person using it then the operator who started it is more guilty than the folks using it for those deaths, don't you think?

What is your approach to create jailbreak incapable agents? I think the world is looking for a way right now, so if yours works you'll get very rich, or at least very famous.

The propaganda police are lying. There is nothing wrong with assembly, you are just too lazy to manage your own register allocations and stack layout, and you accepted that propaganda that "manage your own register allocations and stac

Depends on who started the escalator.

Just like you would expect from algebra. The empty sum is 0, the empty product is 1.

So, you are actually arguing against yourself and are agreeing with me?

I find that a weird argument for saying humanity has "ignored or abandoned" nuclear weapons.

I don't see how that is more dangerous than two crazy head of states deciding that it's time for armageddon. The outcome is the same (99% of humans dead), it's equally easy to technically not do it (don't press the butto
