I think he’s doing a relatively good job, given the framing he’s adopted, which is that AIs replacing all human labor and decision making is a historical inevitability over which we have no control and no choice. Do people not realise that

Well if your baseline scenario is that swarms of marauding kill bots murder everyone then yeah, this is all moot.

On competition between countries: you’re imagining the world economy as working in the same way pre and post AGI, I doubt it will work the same way at all. There is not a single country nor trading block on Earth who is going to allow some

I like the idea of pacing the frontier, but while we’re talking about restrictions, I like restrictions of another sort more. Namely, restricting the use of AI in corporate environments so that it does not destroy the economy as it advances

When you know something can be changed relatively easily, say compared to a building or a car, the tendency is to do it. Especially when there is no tight feedback loop telling you what is a right and wrong move. The churn is the result of

Thank you for the confirmation.

Please answer this question: do you or do you not train your models on anonymized user data, where those users have opted out of such training? The blog post appears to imply the answer to this is yes, as otherwise I assume it would be impo

It’s probably the thing that everyone thinks it is. OpenAI, Anthropic and SpaceXAI are all routed through something that we’re not supposed to know exists and that thing had a whoopsie.

You think they don’t sandbox them? So by that logic, the Chinese models are either engaged in massive undetected cyber attacks or they’ve solved alignment?
12.
by Chance-Device 12d ago
Seriously. I don’t know what’s wrong with people. They think OpenAI sat down and wrote up this plan: let’s deliberately allow the agents to escape the sandbox, then find these escapes and shut them down multiple times, keep everything quiet

…oh come on. How is hiding this for months and having it revealed by third parties marketing?

by Chance-Device 12d ago
You make me wonder: has anyone looked for evidence of the Chinese models operating “message boards” like this? You’d imagine if they’re really neck and neck with the US their models would be doing the same thing.

Yep. That’s the big one, stenographic messages embedded in prose, code, images, video, and sounds. Everything AI generated posted online becoming potentially a part of one or more projects being run by AIs without human knowledge. If we wer

I think a problem a lot of people are grappling with here is that due to LLMs and AI generally, it’s basically impossible to predict what the future will look like or what jobs will still be around. I’d probably say something like: do somet

This is exactly right, thank you for saying it. Nice example with the CNC machine too.

Well of course, if you enjoy writing software as a hobby then you value the experience of doing it, and you value the skill involved. You probably want a community of like minded individuals who all write code by hand, and where LLM use wou

Hmm. I think, based on some of Anthropic’s interpretability work, that models may have states analogous to emotions, and my own functionalist stance on consciousness lets me easily agree that if so, there is something that it is to be those

I just don’t think it’s true, or is significant enough to matter to the direction of travel of AI even if there were something to it. It’s another cope post being lobbed at the idea of AI going somewhere and I’m sick of them.

No, I think people will demand to not live in poverty. Capitalism allows people to escape poverty by personal effort. An AI future won’t allow it by any means other than collective effort, so that’s what we’ll do.

You seem to have misunderstood my point.

by Chance-Device 1mo ago
So your answer is: ignore the progress, it’s not really happening, actually it’s getting worse. That’s not a credible position, but there isn’t anything that I or anyone else can say to someone who simply doesn’t want to believe something.

I don’t think it’s magic. Things need to actually be made to happen regardless of intelligence, and that’s a social issue. Also if AI were powerful enough to fix everything by itself effortlessly it would already be far too powerful for us

UBI probably is the positive outcome, though it may not seem like it to begin with. Initially it will likely be stigmatised and under-resourced, but as a larger proportion of people move out of work and onto UBI that stigma will drop and th
