If the rest of the world follows them on regulations they've thought through before anyone else, then I don't know what you would call that other than leading? Like, definitionally that's what leading is. It's interestin

Turns out the EU was right all along with the AI act. They've been adopting a well-deserved "told you so" stance lately: > "In my view, the EU has already legislated for exactly this scenario: it is called the AI Act

You see, it's not a circle, it's a pyramid! Just buy in right now and you'll get unprecedented returns! Nothing could possibly go wrong! My name is Charles Ponzi and I approve of this message.

I wasn't talking about the literal key files, I was talking about the metaphorical keys to the kingdom. No matter how you set it up, you're giving a cloud service the ability to SSH into your private network. Surely you must see t

So in trying to get one big corp from spying on you, you gave another the keys to the castle? I really don't understand how people give models run on somebody else's server these wide-reaching permissions. Do you really trust Anth

This almost gets the point, but then doesn't quite make it. Alignment is shorthand for ideological alignment. There's always people judging whether an answer was right and the answer for that will be different in Silicon Valle

Hmm what about the murder of a tyrant? If so, who gets to define who a tyrant is? Everything is ideological.

My point is maybe we don't let some of the world's richest people with some very... interesting ideas pick which ideology we digitalize? Maybe we figure out a way to give people a say in this?

There is no "right". Alignment is shorthand for ideological alignment. There's always people judging whether an answer was right and the answer for that will be different in Silicon Valley than it'll be in China or in

Who are you to define what is humane? Is the treatment of the homeless and the drug addicts in the capitalist US humane? Why don't you prioritize the humane treatment in your own backyard before lecturing a country on the other end of

Why should anyone honor an agreement with the drug dealer that attacked you so they could keep selling drugs and stole some of your property in the process? If you were mugged and then the perp finally left you alone if you swore to do hi

by vrganj 6d ago
That sounds like something you could do via Zoom and save yourself the hassle. Nobody claimed we could do a systemic change without, y'know, change .
