Never eval() AI-generated text without a sandbox. This should one of the most obvious principles of AGI safety, especially to a company working towards building superintelligence. Yet, inexplicably, the OpenAI tutorial linked above includ

Yes you definitely can. Obviously you should buy the pins instead of CNCing pins, but for the complex geometry of the main connector body you can definitely CNC it. Example of the pins being sold on Amazon: https://www.amazon.

Agree. This point is a big concern and is explored in the stories (the protagonist creates a "mad scientist" character that can use the LLM to invent new equipment, and then uses a lot of trial and error to find prompts that gener

Something related is compellingly explored in an interesting trilogy of LitRPG comedy books called the Vaudevillain series, consisting of Top Hat Express, Black Tie Villainy, and Cane Whirling Lunacy. In the series, there is a VR video gam

Yes, from an economic standpoint that's the primary reason. Boeing primarily does spaceflight contracts on a "cost-plus" basis (i.e. their profit is a fixed %, such as 10%, of their their expenses), where they make more mone

Regarding enforcement: Semiconductor foundries are physically large and require extremely high-precision equipment and very pure materials. They can easily be detected and can be isolated via blockades. Once the global superpowers are on

On the contrary, all we have to do is educate business leaders to show them that the gains are illusory because AGI will wipe us out. Working on AGI is like the story of the recent DOOM games where the foolish Union Aerospace Corporation i

Agreed. I see this less as a matter of jingoism (though I do love the US as the "least bad" nation in a world where no nation is purely blameless) and more as a matter of pragmatism and embracing what power I can in order to help

Exactly correct. Eliezer Yudkowsky (one of the founders of the AGI Safety field) has conducted informal experiments which have unfortunately shown that a human roleplaying as an AI can talk its way out of a box three times out of five, i.e
