The real alignment problem they are trying to solve is: how can I make this super smart AI follow my orders.

The "nested reality" twist was already used by the "13th floor" movie so perhaps they intentionally choose a different direction.

Many companies put LLM chatbots on their websites and let them hallucinate at will. General recklessness is very much in spirit of this tech.

Interesting, if ultrasound effects the brain, then maybe specific pattern could be used to non-destructively stimulate it?

Oh, the irony of writing an angry post about benefits of anger.

Many open source efforts seem to belong to this category as well.

Some time ago I stumbled onto a bizzare "Peter Thiel on Political Theology" Tyler Cowen episode. Of Course Cowen is on this list.

If this argument was as solid as you say, then all routine checks would be pointless. I don't know about traditional blood testing, but a permanent implant which checks HR, pressure, glucose, temperature & oxidation would be pretty

Coal margarine, this protein powder and some vitamins, I wonder how long human could survive on such "diet".

Not to mention that you can also ask LLM to summarize any of his books, and get the gist. Reading an entire book may be more beneficient for habit forming, but most readers probably don't care about this.

What makes us conscious anyway? As I write this sentence, my brain generates words and contracts specific muscles in my hands to type, but I don't really understand how. I'm just aware that it happens. Apparently I'm no aware

I agree about definition confusion. I like to define consciousness as "capability to suffer". Can cow/dog/spider suffer? - very important question, even if not answerable.

Yeah, it's not immediately obvious, but if we created perfect utopia where conditions are ideal, perfectly matched for given individual, heritability would be 0%.

It's intriguing that some parts of brains are conscious, some are not. What's the difference?

by krzat 5mo ago
Sounds right. I wonder why it is so hard to notice in regular everyday consciousness.

DMN starts when you are doing something trivial and start thinking about something completely unrelated. It's kinda like falling asleep, except more coherent.

When I read the title I expected some kind of satire. I wonder if author considered giving the AI a penance. Maybe if it wrote "I will not delete production database again" a million times, it would prevent such situations in futu

Cool, maybe we could make CRISPR elves?

Humans tend to confabulate when asked "why you did X", funny how LLMs are pretty much the same.

I guess it's a matter of time until TVs include GSM modem for ads and DRM.

The end game is Zuckerberg sitting alone in his bunker and vibe-ceo'ing all of facebook.

Imagine ideal future, and consider if it's achievable without AI. Being forced to work is not much different from slavery, I would rather roll the dice than keep the status quo.

IMO, if we had enough brain scans paired with descriptions of subjective experience, we could create a decent bridge between objective and subjective.

Do you celebrate people who persevere despite despite their hardships? Ability to persevere is also wired in. If you pull this thread to it's conclusion, then nothing is worth celebrating. Just law of physics doing their thing.

Frequent music chills were an unexpected side effect of my meditation practice. It matches with their "openness to experience" conclusion. I also found out that you can encourage chills with meditative techniques: 1. Play your son

The assumption that neuron activity == consciousness is incorrect. A lot of neurons in our brain are doing visual processing. How much of it is conscious? Writing this comment, I have very little insight into how I am able to create this se

> The most pronounced associated differences were observed with intake of approximately 2 to 3 cups per day of caffeinated coffee or 1 to 2 cups per day of tea. Weird, tea is supposed to have half the caffeine of coffee.

I find the anthropic principle fascinating. I was born to this world at a certain point in time. I look around, and I see environment compatible with me: air, water, food, gravity, time, space. How deep does this go? Why I am not an ant or

Imagine if we could turn our bodies into perfect spheres, and then adjust genetic beauty preferences to match it.
