They're not calling any output slop, they're calling indecipherable output slop. The management class responsible for hiring, firing, and paying people doesn't possess the domain knowledge to say for certain whether or…
For simplicity's sake, say you live on a world with exactly one other person. Between you both, 100% of all resources are allocated, but the other person has 100x the resources you do. Please explain how you would…
The difference is that the textile machine workers could immediately verify the work product. This is impossible when the work product is a configuration of knowledge you don't actually have. It's why, for example,…
How do you do that in the current paradigm other than creating yet another gameable metric? All I'm saying is "instilling respect for human values" is not something that can actually be done via a cost function. In no…
This is the problem with optimization generally, even in the human domain. You measure task performance with a metric and punish/reward based on the metric. Anyone who likes reward / hates punishment isn't going to…
I just wonder whether a lot of smart people who never needed to go beyond the "solve for X" algorithmic math of a typical calculus sequence are actually reading the declaration the way the signatories wrote it. The…
Mathematical breakthroughs with commercial relevance are few and far between, and often depend on dusting off old results which were, at the time of discovery, "solutions nobody asked for." The NS counterxample is…
Other people are allowed to have their priors, too. Even under a non-informative prior, the weight of the evidence (Tristan's account, OpenAI's announcement, and Bubeck's "denial", if you want to call it that, plus…
