hm- does the model that wrote this know that labs already pay for training data- that stuff scraped from the Internet is not particularly where today's capability gains come from?

Looks like this has nothing to do with the hypervisor, it's not a traditional VM escape

Thanks for the response! This helps me understand what you meant way better. I'm about to go to bed here, but I'll respond in the morning. Ty!

Definitely agree with that last paragraph - I don't think anybody involved thinks they're doing an RCT here!

tbc, I'm pretty sure that both an individual subatomic particle and a NAND gate or an adder are not conscious. (At least when I'm not in panpsychist moods!) But, in the same way that one particle not being conscious doesn't n

Is a single subatomic particle conscious? Unless you're a panpsychist then surely no, right? And yet humans, made of such particles, are! So it seems like reductionism doesn't work here.

I think you'd benefit from explaining why something being "just math" means it can't be intelligent, conscious, or have a personality- it seems like you're sort of assuming that implicitly, could you make an argumen

by XMPPwocky 1mo ago
Could you explain how this is related to "consciousness", "intelligence", or "personality"?

Ah, you think by "Luna would eventually get smarter" they meant that the model backing it would, without retraining, somehow improve? I figured they just meant they'd use newer models as they come out.

Why does the quoted statement you think they don't?

Why?

For what it's worth, this sounds a lot like something downstream from "reward hacking" in ML- in training, passing tests is often sufficient, and thus gets trained for. There are attempts to fix this (e.g. trying to detect su

Why is something being human or not relevant here?

Hm, say more about what your opinion's based on here?
19.
by XMPPwocky 5mo ago
Hm, it sounds like to you consciousness implies non-determinism, and so determinism implies a lack of consciousness - is that right? If so, why do you think so? And if not, what am I missing?
20.
by XMPPwocky 5mo ago
Yup- the question is "can math be conscious?" (If you've engaged w/ the literature here, it's quite hard to give a confident "yes". it's also quite hard to give a confident "no"! so then wha

Presumably the decryption key is in the firmware.

I also can't help but note that this blog post itself seems (first to my own intuition and heuristics, but also to both Pangram and GPTZero) to be clearly LLM-generated text.

nit: assuming you mean basis points, one basis point is 0.01%. 4.5bp would be 72.7% to 72.71%. this is 450bp!

How is it a black box? You can get the firmware trivially.

What makes you say that? Have you read serious arguments against this view (ideally from academic philosophers, not somebody like me on HN!)?

Could you be more specific? What underclass (and why don't they matter?), and what segregation?

Experts in any field are generally not the ones communicating with, and making recommendations to, the public.

" by the same people that believe whatever they're told by anyone in authority, and then feel the urge to pass it on to others without critical thought." respectfully, what the hell is this bit doing in your post?
