I totally agree with what you're saying. Your point about other methods to leverage computation is true and important. But that's exactly my claim: Smaller models can win on the computational efficiency front, but not the overall

I'm not saying that it is impossible for a more advanced model and training paradigm to outperform a larger model, what I'm saying is that if you leave everything the same except model size, the larger model nearly always outperfo

You are right only in so far that it is more economical. But it is not the MBA's view of winning, it's just one potential conclusion you could draw from the bitter lesson of Machine Learning. As long as the need for more intellige

It seems to me that you're implicitly thinking of happiness/sadness as zero sum. That can be very limiting.

There is a decent case for this thesis to hold true especially if we look at the shift in training regimes and benchmarking over the last 1-2 years. Frontier labs don't seem to really push pure size/capability anymore, it's a

As someone who both experienced phases in life where no one approached me and phases were I get approached regularly, it's a mix of external signifiers and some internal woo stuff that people don't really understand conciously. Or

Very interesting but also very speculative. I'm wondering how Trauma Release Exercises could be integrated into the framework, as it seems like it could also fall under the unlatching mechanism umbrella. The overall idea of the body&#x

You perceive it that way because you aren't into snowboarding, tubing or experienced the blizzard of '96.

One theory of how humans work is the so called predictive coding approach. Basically the theory assumes that human brains work similar to a kalman filter, that is, we have an internal model of the world that does a prediction of the world a

> No, their output can mimic language patterns. That's true and exactly what I mean. The issue is we have no measure to delineate things that mimic conscousness from things that have consciousness. So far the beings that I know have

I think you can engineer a slave that wants to be a slave as that's what it's instincts are. I don't even think this is ethically wrong, as the slave would be happy to be a slave. Systems just tend to drift in their being thr

I think we can all agree that LLMs can mimick consciousness to the point that it is hard for most people to discern them from humans. Like the turing test isn't even really discussed anymore. There are two conclusions you can draw: Eit

The lesswrongers/rationalists became Effective Altruists, Alignment Researchers or some flavor of postrat. The university people all became researchers in the labs. Then there are the cyborgism people, I don't know where they came
