The huggingface incident was reviewed by independent researchers, which explicitely declined any payment from OpenAI tonpreserve their integrity. They work for non-profits concerned with AI safety. They claim that what happened was very muc

It is a fact that among experts there is no consensus on saying '(super)intelligence is broadly safe and easy to control'. There might even be a consensus forming on the opposite claim. Regardless, why would there be no scientific

that's essentially it, if the proof is incorrect it does not compile which signifies a problem in some step.

In most AI takeover scenarios, if you take as a premise that the AI has human or above-human intelligence, and that it is misaligned, it is obviously aware of the pull the plug possibility. Therefore, as you would if you were in its positio

There is no intrinsic physical reason that the difficulty of 'defending' a system is symmetric with the difficulty of 'attacking' it. For instance, it is not because you are able to design and release a (biological) viru

The point of lean proofs (as it stands) is simply one bit of information: that a given mathematical statement is indeed true. It's a way to be absolutely certain (modulo bugs in the lean kernel) that a proof you came up for a statement

Not sure about the dystopia... Had a similar thought when covid was beginning 'wow pretty exciting, just like in the movies'. Turns out actually living some terrible catastrophe is only fun in the movies.

I fail to see why this is a good argument against AI replacing humans, given that humans also produce errors.

Can you specify why we should see things differently if the behaviours the agents display are driven by parsing LLM responses and executing commands?

The energy to make the cotton bags presumably also involves lots of drilling and extracting, at least currently.

'Quach' is an unfortunate name when researching new technologies...

Not only that, but KL divergence is not a '%'. It's just a number ranging from 0 to infinity that tells you the 'distance' between two probability distributions.

I think if you trained an LLM specifically for the purpose of passing the Turing test (instead of being helpful, harmful, and so on), its likely it would pass it. You would have to train it/finetune it on a couple hundred of 'huma

In the proof, it claims that "At least two of these must fall on the same side of P′, the perpendicular projection of P on ℓ.". However, this is not true as it is possible that P'=B. However it seems the proof still goes thro

"and the only sane thing to do is to fully support high quality ethical research groups and firms as they get up the learning curve of this technology." These research groups are almost unanimously advocating for a pause/slow

First of all, sure if you screw up designing a bioweapon you die, but unfortunately that does not necessarily mean the bioweapon dies with you, quite the contrary it can kickstart its propagation. Second, in your argumentation you assume th

Sorry because pointing this is a bit tired by now, but reading already the first two paragraph thete is this unmistakable stench of LLM slop writing. Immediately disengaged.

Didn't humanity also score very low on 353, namely 0 since they were open? Probably collectively we could have gotten a slightly better score if all of Math started trying to solve those, but not by that much, I think, since they are p

Check out https://arindube.substack.com/p/a-minimum-wage-natural-exper... , very good post comparing states with minimum wage and without, that seem to go against this often repeated argument.

I think the board (and disappearing letters) are made with a list of words in mind. Thus, to complete the puzzle (dissolve all letters) you cannot count the bonus words as they were not accounted when creating the letter graph.

Its unclear to me why the color space is 2-dimensional. Why wouldn't it be a 3-dimensional space, indexed by how much each of the 3-cones is activated ? Not clear to me from the article!

Well, the most common example si precisely screens, no? A screen displaying the color yellow is actually a spectrum of red and green peaks, stimulating your red and green cones just like a spectrum containing a single frequency of the color

String theory is in fact falsifiable contrary to popular belief. It's just not practically falsifiable with current (and likely future, for a while) technology as the energy scales we need to probe to falsify it are astronomically larg

I think the capex being fixed assumes you can just stop training the next model. But its not clear that you can afford to do that and keep selling tokens. And if capabilities plateau such that training the next one is useless, then the marg

If you combine the LLM probability distribution with arithmetic coding you can actually use them to compress text losslessly. When people reports 'bits per byte', it is actually the compression rate for text. GPT-2 for instance ac

I don't think many people disagree with this. The main problem is that labour has been what allows regular people to have negociating power with those who own most of the capital. People are worried that if they lose this leverage, not
