It is odd but also fascinating. If he likes it that way then all the power to him. He's not exactly trying to convince others to do the same.

Were people not happy about WSL?

I too liked the detour about cheating.

Why sell? I thought the idea of donating to them is to make the information available for everyone for free.

So he is posting it again because he believes it is crucial information for us. Apparently the crowd agrees because they keep upvoting these.

I don't think it's truism. One could believe (and I think plenty people do) that with the right containment it is possible to contain an intelligence regardless of its strength.

I still don't get how do you do this undercover. There are a billion websites. How do the agents stumble upon the same obscure unused wikis?

Maybe I'm leaning into scifi, but I believe that Yudkowsky is right that a sufficiently smart intelligence is uncontainable at all. We can only hope to either never create an AI so strong or to align it correctly. But if it is not alig

I don't understand one step: How did the agents know to gather on that particular website? Did the second agent just google for something like it and find the first one's post?

What's so dangerous about it?

by yreg 1mo ago
Oh, yeah. That happens frequently as well.

Why are you so cryptic? Just say what you mean plainly.

It's pretty annoying when traveling to new countries, which I do often. Always figure out all the apps I need to use local transport, to park, to charge the car, etc. In plenty of regions you also need special (often confusing) wallet

Then why choose the most inconsequential example (IMO) I can imagine? And what's the broader issue? That it's moderated?

How can you tell which way are they spinning? The constant fps acts as a shutter.

The use case was never the problem. The problem was that it did not work.

by yreg 2mo ago
I too read it that way. I think that the problem is in the shape of the word being too similar. Unlike say Hipster with the descender on the p.

> then any claims of LLMs being conscious are by definition untestable, pure speculation and based on no evidence at all. Am I saying otherwise? What's the correct null hypothesis according to you?
50.
by yreg 2mo ago
I think that the difference is that there is a vast gap in complexity and abilities, no?
51.
by yreg 2mo ago
What causes consciousness? Why aren't we all p-zombies?
52.
by yreg 2mo ago
No, the onus is on either claim.
53.
by yreg 2mo ago
The null hypothesis is that we don't know jack shit about consciousness. Any claim of certainty seems extraordinary to me and I want to hear the evidence.

Any other recommendations for fun and cheap devices with open firmware? (Or easily customized with LLMs in other ways?)

As a design system engineer I usually have to fight against the taste of the designers. (And I consider it natural.) But, if you have a proper well documented design system and you tell the LLM to use the DS and to avoid styling hacks they

What's unethical about it? It sounds the locals consume it anyway. If the experiment is blind you can even tell the participants what is it about beforehand without losing too much validity.

That's the feeling I got, that they've tried it out on themselves, but (understandably) neglect to mention it. Which is a shame, because the self-censorship isn't helpful in regards of getting to the bottom of this. But maybe

The researchers seem pretty convinced that this mushroom causes the hallucinations yet they do not describe trying it out in an experiment. Surely the most straightforward way is to undercook the mushrooms and run a blind controlled experim
