I hope what happens in the original deus ex game happens here then, that the ASI does not want to merge with a human who wants it only for base desires

Reminds me of the METR blog post on the HF attach by OpenAI. At some point the agents believed a false fact (that the evaluator would try to figure out if they have cheated on a task) and spent a lot of time trying to find workarounds. At n

My specific contention is on trying to ascribe intention on what looks like gibberish. > Well... no, it won't be nothing - it will be something. And I'm all ears for a plausible explanation, so fire away. I'm just stating

It could be that or it could be nothing. And we have no way to prove one way or the other without access to the agent logs right? This reminds me of the plot of Hot Fuzz where the officer comes up with a grand narrative of what's was h

Were the agents truly independent? Like it could have been the case that one agent spun up different sub agents with the task to write some messages in a public wiki. The subagents wouldn't know about each other and was surprised to di

The problem with such statements is that it's unfalsifiable.

It's not just about it feeling like a 3rd party library but it's a library that's at risk of changing significantly after every 'update' without warning. Atleast with a well built library you know the contours and h

The problem is when humidity rises it makes it harder forbthe body to expel hear via evaporation. This is what is happening in places like UK this time around. An AC helps get rid of the humidity as it cools the air. I don't know about

How exactly does one go about "tinkering" with an LLM? Any architectural change you introduce needs fine tuning. That needs data and compute I tried to modify the embedding output of bert to make it generate box embeddings instead

Here is an article by Pat Walters on the usefulness of ML in drug discovery. This article is a response to another one making the case that utility of ML models are very limited in drug discovery https://patwalters.github.io&#x2F

These companies have spent billions of investor dollars and they will need to recoup that cost soon. And then show year over year growth on top of that. Unless they can massively scale down training and inference cost or implement AGI I don

Remember that 20$ is a subsidized rate openai is currently willing to provide. Once that goes down you think these guys would be willing to pay token based billing charges ?

That could just be selection bias. How about all the brilliant people we don't know about cause their theories did not match experimental data? Doesn't matter if their reasoning quality is top notch

Maybe ASI can do the things you claim. Like figuring out why we have an appendix just by looking at our DNA. Till then I don't think current crop of LLM will ever touch that capability. I'll believe it when I see it

They are already being trained in biology right now? What he is saying is that they are being trained on what we know about biology currently. AI is going to hit that limit. And there is no way for the AI to gain more knowledge without actu

Even if AI gets super smart, it will run into the limits of what we know about biology. Someone will have to do lab experiments to provide more knowledge to the AI. This is different from say building a computer virus or hacking since the A

It could have worked if they weren't leveraged to their necks on spending. All based on the assumption that they can make something like 10x or higher in a few years. Another point against your gym analogy. When people don't have

My favorite is the history of chili pepper. It's something so fundamental to indian cuisine that I assumed chillies were native to India for a long time. His video shows the true history of how that spice travelled from the Americas to
