The “how” is pretty hand wavy and rationalists/safety-ists usually say we probably don’t have the capacity to reason about that. But the “why” is pretty convincing imo. Long horizon alignment is obviously very hard and it’s not inconce

India thrives in high tech sectors that are ironically export controlled by the rest of the world. That’s the primary reason the talent in those domains stays back. As for the rest of India, you can largely find the root causes of problems

OpenAI will just put the employees involved under the bus. They can claim the information acquired wasn't used for OpenAI's benefit or authorization especially since the device isn't actually out yet.

Eh probably easier ways to do this. Just sanction all entities that release open weight models for "illegal distillation". Enough to cross the risk threshold for most businesses in the west, and reduce future monetization opportun

A lot of Anthropic’s moves make sense if you follow the LessWrong / rationalist community writings on AI safety. A lot of it is distilled in Ant’s blogs and leadership interviews and podcasts (Amanda Askell is particularly interesting)

You raise good points and these would make sense under normal circumstances. But none of this matters if AI offers infinite leverage and America hoards all the compute and talent. This explains what I mean in a much better articulated fashi

I humbly accept it's very difficult to game this out with any degree of confidence, especially as other countries deploy more resources. But the questions about viability of the labs because of export restrictions is not in my cone of

I'm assuming this is popular because of Fable restrictions. AFAIK, open source is not excluded from ITAR / EAR restrictions (or other export restriction in other countries). So the real solution you're looking for is technolo

To the rest of the world, US aggression is perceived as oppressive and unilateral primarily because it’s a political act meant to further domestic political goals. All US administrations act in their own self interest, as they should. But t

Brakes are being added to actuators but they're more useful for static holds / locking than dynamic balancing. Standing even in humans is a dynamic balancing activity.

You evaluate the merits of the content? From a high-level systems pov, the article is largely correct, even if some details might be missed / simplified

I feel the same until I’m reminded I’m paying Anthropic $100 every month for something that’s indispensable to me now and would probably pay a lot more. Very inelastic demand as long as competition is low at the frontier.

3/3.1 Pro appears to have knowledge about eccentric topics with no obvious sources that often turns out to be right. It does hallucinate a lot though, and is the most affected by context rot in multi-turn conversations

Acetaminophen (paracetamol) is the drug of first choice for addressing pain and fever, in India at least. To the extent that it's regularly abused, and I know people who have been hospitalized because of abuse. Even then, doctors are u

Yeah it's weird, almost like we're seeing two cults form in real-time. I imagine there's a benign explanation too - the intelligence of these models is very spiky and I have found tasks were one model was hilariously better t

They have several levers for demand destruction. From Anthropic's POV, I suspect this is least to worst bad - reducing the surface area of "acceptable use" (e.g., blocking third-party tools OpenClaw) - tighter usage limits an

I tried ls20 and it was surprisingly fun! Just from a game design POV, these are very well made. Nit: I didn't see a final score of how many actions I took to complete 7 levels. Also didn't see a place to sign in to see the leader

Gaming this out for peer adversaries is mostly moot, right? The post-Cold War strategic balance has mostly hung on MAD. And Russia, in particular, has responded to any attempt at building missile shields with more capable missiles. It'

Reflected inertia does scale as the square of the gear ratio but it's a bit misleading unless you also consider the change in rotor inertia, which scales as a cube of the rotor radius (as the article points out). The other side of the

You would hit electrical steel saturation limits way before you need to pump in enough current to justify super-conductance. Cooling in general is not a bad idea to allow you dissipate heat as you push motors to their saturation limits.

Very impressive. But it doesn’t solve the whole problem yet. The robot and ball pose is estimated by high speed mocap cameras, and is fed to the policy. I imagine estimating that with onboard cameras - how humans do it - is much harder. Alm

I think ChatGPT has a huge advantage here. They have been collecting realistic multi-turn conversational data at a much larger scale. And generally their models appear to be more coherent with larger contexts for general purpose stuff.
