If we can't thinking of any better ideas, at least we know that "shutting it all down" would be effective.

I mean, I guess the answer there would be to build the usual kind of Haber-Brosch process plants that run continuously, and feed them with hydrogen derived from natural gas. But just build them in the US.

> they things they believe in are unlikely to happen. Sorry, but most times I've talked to someone who says this (about AI completely replacing humanity), they don't have anything to say about why it's unlikely to happen

Just a terminology note: Alignment does not mean the AI will help its owner kill people. (Indeed, an AI aligned to value human life would generally try to prevent murders.) The word for an AI that follows all instructions of its owner, as t

Or the AI companies could filter it from their training data. That would be another, probably easier, option.

Yes. I was not re-doing the original post, just describing an interesting consequence of the kinetic energy formula.

by c1ccccc1 3mo ago
A stationary but hot object has kinetic energy due the the motion of the individual atoms that make it up, even though its overall momentum is 0. I.e. ∑ⱼ mⱼ v⃗ⱼ = 0⃗ where the mⱼ are the masses of the parts of the object and the v⃗ⱼ are the

If you use the right formula for calculating it (which approximates p=mv at low speeds), momentum is actually conserved in special relativity, and so is energy. However: Energy and momentum are not invariant under changes of reference fra

by c1ccccc1 3mo ago
Energy is conserved in Galilean relativity. The thing you're trying to say is that it's not invariant across reference frames. The answer linked above actually takes advantage of the fact that energy is not the same in different r

This looks like good work. Unfortunately, this kind of thing always seems to attract midwits on social media who then exclaim "oh, the people worried about AI alignment have caused the very alignment issues they feared? How ironic!&quo

If you have a limited budget of tokens as a defender, maybe the best thing to spend them on is not red teaming, but formalizing proofs of your code's security. Then the number of tokens required roughly scales with the amount and compl

Kudos for giving a concrete example, but the square-cube law means that scaling area A results in A^(3/2) scaling for the mass of material used and also launch costs. If you make the pyramid hollow to avoid this, you're back to ha

Radiators can shadow each other, so that puts some kind of limit on the size of the individual satellite (which limits the size of training run it can be used for, but I guess the goal for these is mostly inference anyway). More seriously,

You're right, thanks!

Name some of the contradictory possibilities you have in mind? Also, do you actually think the core idea is wrong, or is this more of a complaint about how it was presented? Say we do an experiment where we train an alpha-zero-style RL agen

Oh, so just a probability density thing where we sample q and check if it's p^n (retrying if not) rather than sampling p and n separately and computing q=p^n? I guess that's probably what the they were going for, yeah.
21.
by c1ccccc1 10mo ago
Why is that? My guess would be that you could adjoin an i all the time to the p^n field and get the p^2n field, as long as you had p = 4k + 3. But that's admittedly based on approximately zero thinking. EDIT: Looking things up indicate

You should basically assume they are pulled from thin air. (Or more precisely, from the brain and world model of the people making the prediction.) The point of giving such estimates is mostly an exercise in getting better at understandin

Would you also get triggered if you saw people make a bet at, say, $24 : $87 odds? Would you shout: "No! That's too precise, you should bet $20 : $90!"? For that matter, should all prices in the stock market be multiples of $
