This seems like one of those things that prior to AI companies convincing us otherwise would have been obvious. Least privilege and say only opening ports or installing applications an application needs to operate are extremely standard sec

The model I’m circling around is - I think in some ways we talk about Silicon Valley leaders in this like objective points based system. Elon musk being a trillionaire must have the highest IQ, maybe Steve Jobs was second highest, Dario Am

I mean for sure I don’t think Dario, Elon, Altman or anybody talking about a slowdown is suggesting they don’t want to overhaul society. They just want to avoid the guillotine while they do it. And in their defense - I do think they honestl

My read of Dario’s post was very much like, slow down from 90% throttle to 75-85%, not 25-50%. I don’t think it looks like that much from the outside. A direct quote: “We must slow the pace at which we improve the capabilities of AI model

Actually the second part was my argument. But gestures everywhere isn’t a bad backup. look I admit a sort of charming romance in the idea Of a stricter more conservative education system, I just don’t think the data supports such simple re

I feel like the contra answer to “how do you enforce it” is like- imperfectly but we can do stuff. Like we can just do stuff. We can fine companies, take away licenses. We are capable! But I also think - I’m not trying to be too negative

Because they weren’t held back in school? Not… you know…. Gestures everywhere But really, if we failed the first time, what makes you think we’ll be more successful the second?

I think it’s safe to err on the side of AI not assassinating people whoever they are. A person can decide. We’re not trying to accurately define all of the nuances of society, just what we let AI do. We can round down

We could always start with “murder is wrong” and “don’t hack into a rival company” and work our way up from there. Somehow I think if these companies were held financially responsible for what their AI did, we would get alignment real fast.

China is distilling our models aren't they? I’m not saying China is zero risk, but I am saying that America seems particularly skilled at putting our enemies on this idealized pedestal to justify whatever we’re trying to justify.

I think I theorize like - a big assumption is AI either leads to fast take off or it moderately helps us but hits a ceiling. I wonder if a third option is - AI actually slows down progress because - a thing I observe at work is the hard pro

“if you needed to repeat a year of school, you just did. It felt harsh in the moment but looking back oh boy it was the correct thing to do.” Was it really? My read of the research is its mixed at best, and most effective at younger grades

Genuine concern is the most effective kind of fearmongering.

Is AI bad for mental health? lol If so, should companies also ban them to prevent burnout of their employees? No, capitalism must be fed.

I actually think this is wrong but for depressing reasons. America is not going to end up convincing Americans Trumpism is wrong. Trump is going to die. I think for a lot of things, basically macro factors have more to say than your philos

I mean the accusation is that they were using private ChatGPT conversations. Given the extent to of the gold rush and the long history of Silicon Valley stealing ideas, and arguing it’s not immoral, It almost seems like your making the e

It’s presumptuous of you to claim to know someone’s inner motivations which ever direction you’re trying to take it.

On the one hand maybe? I mean plenty of non-profits expand how they spend their money from core mission to like supporting adjacent issues, and I’m not in any way defending or making a statement on DHH’s views which I think can be describe

But who are you going to believe? Multiple independent academic researchers or the CEO who was fired two years ago for gross dishonesty?

Not sure if this was a backdoor culture war post, but it seems that part of the reason for the gender imbalance would be seasonal hiring for education and other sectors that lean female. (Why and whether that should be the case is in some

What, substantively speaking, are you doing differently from someone facing the threat, or are you just on the other side of the checkbox? There are quite a few existential risks on the table. Are you even sure you've sort ordered the

I was left in the 1990s; mostly I remember fighting for my right to party, but maybe we ran in different circles. If anti-immigration was left in the 1990s, what were right leaning views? Though Reagan was pro immigration. What did that ma
