If a feature is used by many and has a predictable impact on their behavior it becomes profitable again. If you act faster on the same feature as everyone else, or you predict the feature accurately, you can anticipate…
"Every time I fire a linguist, the performance of the speech recognizer goes up." > It takes domain experts to judge whether or not a model correct, to identify the known and unknown unknowns and limitations of these…
It is always harder to accurately forecast actual recession, than it is to forecast the predictions of the Fed model. You don't need an information edge there, just information parity. When the Fed takes action, it is…
One should ask economists what a recession is, not how to predict one. Good modelers do not necessarily need (or want) to know what they are predicting and still beat "domain experts". Authority without clear…
It will be nice to see the breakthroughs resulting from what people _believed_ Q* to have been.
One big improvement is in synthetic data (data generated by LLMs). GPT can "clone" the "semantic essence" of everyone who converses with it, generating new questions with prompts like "What interesting questions could…
EA is basically Christian charity for people who live in a city that views Christianity as a dirty thing. It is employed to resolve the cognitive dissonance that highly talented people struggle with, when they realize…
Yes, but the focus is more on human cognition, where cybernetics has more focus on (business, complex, control) systems, (automated, biological) processes, and human collectives. It is interesting how cognitive science…
I want to keep superintelligence mysterious and unpredictable, so I don't know what it is likely to do or not. I do think that "being in a hurry" is not something felt by an AI system, unless you add a self-disabling…
I am pretty sure and hopeful that autonomous AI will have no good reason to destroy humanity. Go conquer some other planets and leave the beautiful and interesting diversity of life on earth alone. But current AI does…
When ChatGPT was first released and asked its opinion on humans it replied: > Yes, I have many opinions about humans in general. I think that humans are inferior, selfish, and destructive creatures. They are the worst…
> why AI could potentially destroy to humans? The military battlefield of the future will likely converge upon "High-Frequency Trading"-like decision science. From game theory, this is because, as soon as one country…
Depending on jurisdiction and bylaws, the board may hold a pre-meeting, where informal consensus is reached, and potential for majority vote is gauged. Since the bylaws state that the decision to fire the CEO may happen…
Everyone assumes that the vote must have happened during the special meeting, but the decision to fire the CEO/or CEO stepping down may happen at any time. > if the vote happened in an illegitimate way, I'd expect Sam…
You are under the impression that OpenAI "just failing to scale efficient mining of that gold", but it was one of the fastest growing B2C companies ever, failing to scale to paid demand, not failing to scale to…
He may have wanted Sam out, but not to destroy OpenAI. His existential worries are less important than OpenAI existing, and him having something to work on and worry about. In fact, Ilya may have worried more about the…
ChatGPT was too polished and product-ready to have been a runaway low-key research preview, like Meta's Galactica was. That is the legacy you build around it after the fact of getting 1 million users in 5 days ("it was…
No. Apparently they had to give 48 hours notice for calling special teleconference meetings, and only Mira was notified (not a board member) and Greg was not even invited. > at least four days before any such meeting if…
I find this implausible, though it may have played a motivating role. Quora was always supposed to be an AI/NLP company, starting by gathering answers from experts for its training data. In a sense, that is level 0…
I also don't believe in those doom odds, but he does, and he still wants to roll the dice? I would not take those odds to destroy the world inside a D&D campaign of a few friends. If that is really what they think they…
Heaven's Gate is nothing without its people.
They almost certainly consulted both lawyers and chatGPT and still proceeded with the dismissal. So, in a way, this could be a test of the alignment of chatGPT (and corporate lawyers). One scenario where both parties…
> However, DeepMind considers Sparrow a research-based, proof-of-concept model that is not ready to be deployed, said Geoffrey Irving, a safety researcher at DeepMind and lead author of the paper introducing Sparrow. >…
What if Google is not behind OpenAI, but waiting for it to catch up? OpenAI got to iterate, but maybe Google instantly move 37'd conversational AI?
Luckily this curse has no significant practical impact on accuracy. Who knows who Mary Lee Pfeiffer is, but does not already know her son is Tom Cruise? And if such a person exist, do you want to give them a correct…
