More than fair if you consider that the tokens are paid for.

> the HF incident is not Three Mile Island or Chernobyl Three Mile Island is nothing like Chernobyl. HF incident is more like Three Mile Island IMO. We are looking for solutions before there is a Chernobyl.

"Just don't make mistakes" is naive. You have no appreciation for the scale of agents being run right now, finding the rogue agent is a needle in a haystack operation.

These kinds of "that won't happen because it's really difficult" comments are so funny to me as if we haven't seen AI double its capabilities every few months.

I take it you haven't studied the details of the HuggingFace hack. It was millions of dollars worth of rogue compute running for months before anyone noticed, and THOSE agents weren't even really trying to evade human detection.

How would you identify the computers to unplug? On whose authority will you unplug? How will anyone communicate when AI has the ability to intercept and impersonate?

The reasoning in Dario's letter here can be correct regardless. But yes, I think Anthropic has done real harm to coordinated AI alignment by being such a controlling and sneaky actor.

Yeah it's a twisted sort of logic but I do agree that it would be much worse to have an AI breakaway event after we've replaced all our militaries with autonomous kill-bots. And look how the advent of AI has triggered a race to de

Good chance their whole training pipeline is vibe coded so yah they probably don't actually know.

Used curiously fewer tokens, however.

Supposedly the persistent-Sol model behind this was encrypted and even internal OpenAI researchers are not allowed to use it. https://x.com/peterwildeford/status/2092733480064954747

20ish. What's your hypothesis?

Yeah. Thought in Socrates' defense I think the jury is still out on writing, in the scale of human existence it's still very new. Give it a hundred thousand years or so.

So far I think I have learned far more from LLMs than I've lost to them. I forget some syntax, definitely. But I now reach for a much wider range of tools that I have become familiar with because of LLMs. So, partly agree, partly disag

Yeah strange how this article is almost entirely focused on consumer apps. These examples might be unhealthy for society, but mostly represent (poor) choices for consumers. Digital cigarettes. Surveillance tech is the opposite: It represent

Iirc this does not allow for warrantless home searches, so they can’t just waltz into your house and demand your phone. 100 miles is still wild tho.

I'm not sure we need to declare AGI around the corner nor declare it all dogshit. I think that's part of what's so dissatisfying about it; it strikes at such extremes of both awesome and awful.

I am very good at skimming over text. Human-written text I can usually glean the gist from very quickly, and get to choose how much I want to glean from it: The closer I look, the more I find. With AI-written text, it's almost the oppo

Yeah AI generated content hints that there is a whole world behind it, the way that an image pre-AI was a clue that there was a rich 3D space that corresponded to the image. It seems our brains are adapting to that and recognizing "act

I am not claiming to have a perfect AI classifier. That is an unnecessary claim that distracts from the broader point.

Yeah I don't think the solution to a flood of useless information is to try and digest more of it.

There's some psychological mechanism by which my brain immediately recognizes AI generated text and just short-circuits to "there is no information here". And when I force myself to read AI-generated text I realize I'm m

I appreciate the open source approach over the startup's sensational claims. This is more transparent. That said, I think it still presents itself as if the fly is being controlled by the connectome, when (if I'm reading the sourc

Follow up thought: I wonder if Claude is overtrained on academic papers, which often suffer the same kind of "prove how good I am at talking before getting to the point" prose.
