LLMs and AI more broadly certainly seem to have upended (or have the potential to upend) a lot of white-collar work outside of technology and art. Translators are one obvious example. Lawyers might be on the chopping block if they don'

Yeah, I notice a lot of the optimism is from people who have been in the field for decades. I'm newish to the field, half a decade out of undergrad. It definitely feels like almost all of what I learned has been (or will soon be) compl

Given what I understand about the nature of competitive programming competitions, using an LLM seems kind of like using a calculator in an arithmetic competition (if such a thing existed) or a dictionary in a spelling bee.

This is also why I'm skeptical of claims that it would be impossible (or nearly so) for governments to meaningfully regulate AI R&D/deployment (regardless of whether or not they should ). The "you can't regulate m

I think you're overestimating how much real damage someone can cause with burpsuite and "a few youtube videos." I'd imagine if you pick a random person off the street, subject them to a full month's worth of cyberse

If they're truly Chinese state-sponsored actors, does it really matter if their actions/methods are exposed? What is Anthropic going to do, send the Anthropic Police Force to China to arrest them? I suppose I could see this argume

This definition makes sense, but in the context of LLMs it still feels misapplied. What the model providers call "guardrails" are supposed to prevent malicious uses of the LLMs, and anyone trying to maliciously use the LLM is &q

Are you saying this because you think that people should still try to learn things for personal interest in a world where AI makes learning things to make money pointless (I agree completely, though what I spend time learning would change),

Making all of those things cheaper is great, as long the automation isn't also making everyone poorer at an equal or faster rate. It doesn't really help if house prices and food prices are cut in half if most people lose their emp

I don't disagree. Social/economic stratification (to a certain degree) makes sense as long as there is a reasonable amount of social mobility. AGI paired with advanced robotics seems as though it would all but eliminate social mob

I think the problem is if/when AGI enables "someone else" to not need human employees for ~anything. The people that own physical capital (land, farms, mines, etc.) would have robots and GPT-N to extract value from it. The pe

Is the suggestion that AGI (or even current AI) lowers the barrier of entry to making a company so much that regular people can just create a company in order to make money (and then buy food/shelter)? If so, I think there's a lot

Lets say I have a robot or two with a genius-level intellect. In theory it could manufacture a car for me or cook my dinner or harvest the crops needed for my dinner. But I don't own the mine where the metals needed to make a car come

I don't see how owning a robot helps me with obtaining the essentials of life in this scenario. There's no reason for a corporation to hire my robot if it has its own robots and can make/power them more efficiently with econo

In terms of quality of life, much/most of the value of intelligence is in how it lets you affect the physical world. For most knowledge workers, that takes the form of using intelligence to increase how productively some physical asset

Their point still stands though? They said the 1 tok/hr example was illustrative only. 11,000 LoC could be generated line-by-line in one shot, taking not much more than 11,000 * avg_tokens_per_line tokens. Or the model could be embedde
