Yes, but that employee might use that increased productivity to do the stuff that's always advertised as the benefits of automation: Allocate more time to tasks that usually don't get it - or: go home earlier and spend more time w

I'd like to have some info what those independent evaluators are supposed to do exactly - or which risks Dario specifically sees as being "unaligned". Evidently, with "pacing" he doesn't mean stopping the produ

I don't see how the dual goals of "we have to make an agreement with China for mutual slowdown" but also "we have to ensure we will always stay ahead of China" would work. I imagine the first thing the chinese gover

Software can absolutely act goal-driven without having consciousness etc - every pathfinding or navigation system or chess engine does this. Lots of "old-school AI" algorithms have explicit modeling of goal or target states. (In f

They are token prediction engines. They're also very very complicated token prediction engines that pull in an enormous lot of additional information and relatively nebulous internal concepts to calculate that next token. That make

One "AI-ism" I noticed is that LLMs often just put sentences behind one another without using any connecting adverbs - and just leave it to the reader's imagination how the sentences are related to each other. E.g. in the rea

Exactly. But even if the model got access to its own weights, it would need to find a machine with a sufficiently capable GPU, transfer the weights and install itself there. Basically, the only machines powerful enough that AIs could se

In the method proposed in the paper, the signature is stored in the pixels and ostensibly even survives some compression. So if you made a screenshot of a signed image, the image would still have its signature inside the screenshot, but the

I'm pretty sure if signing images becomes the norm, because cameras will do it automatically then social media sites etc will start to care - or at least be thankful for the additional metadata.

by xg15 1mo ago
I think what got me worried is the GPs take that "I expect in the near future all digital cameras to digitally sign the images they take". Sure, if you have your special, verification-enhanced camera, go for it. But if this goes l

I understood the GP so that only some unique ID or hash of the original image would be included, not the image itself. Basically like the commit chain of Git but without the actual content blobs. You could use this data to prove that image

EXIF data is stripped for a good reason - because it can be a privacy hazard. Suddenly this plays no role anymore?

Yeah, this whole blog was repeating the old fairy tale narrative of automation "if we automate the work then workers will have sooo much more time!" I'm surprised they expect people to still believe that stuff.

I don't see what unions would have against automated emergency stop systems. Workplace safety is a core issue of unions, so if anything, shouldn't they demand those systems?

Maybe I'm out of the loop, but wasn't AGI the full-on scifi version of AI, where the AI is a persistent, conscious entity? I don't see how task benchmark scores are relevant for that.

Yeah, apparently they both (used to) offer unbounded registrations of 3LDs and unbounded registrations of 2LDs? So if I see j.doe.name, the only way to find out if "doe.name" is a public suffix or not, i.e. if I should (not) be
