> It's not about "no downside"! That completely misunderstands. It's about a HUGE upside. Let's compromise and say it's both? You're right that the upper bound experienced may be a lot higher than most may realize, but…
Regardless of what cultural category may or may not apply, I find that line of thought rather unconstructive. This isn't about being anyone's opinion on suicide like some black and white binary stance whether you're…
I feel like you and all the people replying to you are completely missing the obvious. To someone who has been depressed for many years, for someone who literally (according the article) contemplated jumping of the roof…
Will-free? Unless that's a play on my first name, I'm not sure I agree. I see no reason why AI would have any difficulty defining its own reward functions. Especially if it also has an abstract overarching reward…
Yeah, that was sloppy phrasing on my part: I meant that in a top of the food chain / king of the jungle sort of way rather than any extinction events per se.
You jest, but that has a good likelihood of becoming the watershed moment. The moment AI is bootstrapped to the point where it surpasses human ability to advance the AI SOTA, it's pretty much game over—from a Darwinian…
The real problem is a society that allows loans to exist where the loanee has no meaningful collateral. If an institution cannot fill its classrooms without stooping to such predatory financial structures then perhaps…
Entrusting 18 year olds with the maturity of life-long decision making, perfect foresight, astute self-knowledge, and uniformly competent parental guidance -- what could possibly go wrong, right?
I have no idea what you mean by "just linking the filesystem".
Of course it isn't, but limiting installation instructions to the creation of a single well-defined Docker container makes a whole lot of sense in terms of avoiding reproducibility headaches. And by extension, with…
Wow, I don't think I've ever seen anyone dial a strawman argument to 11 quite like you just did. Nobody was talking about FDR until you hamfistedly brought him up in a reply to a post (indirectly) lamenting a period of…

Modelling the world is function approximation: the world is the function and the model is the approximation.
You honestly suggesting the inventors of the TPU bailed because they couldn't foot the compute bill?
I see what you mean, and it's indeed quite likely that texts containing such hypothetical scenarios were included in the dataset. Nonetheless, the implication is that the model was able to extract the conditional…

Wasn't intended to be personal. Just a mediocre way of expressing that your assertion there is missing any form of argumentation, and therefore as baseless as it is unconvincing. I'm seeing an emergent capability of…

Or maybe it did. Who knows. If "both Charles III and his son abdicate" could well be considered indicative of some large upheaval or scandal, at which point it is entirely conceivable that the Australian electorate…
Au contraire. Learning an abstract logical relationship such as line of succession during training, and then applying substitution/reification during inference to deduce the new factual clause that Charles is king of…
That's a brilliant example. Thanks for sharing. It demonstrates in a very straightforward way that LLMs are capable of learning (and applying) relationships at the level of abstraction of (at least) 1st order logic. It…
My take-away from your take-away is that LLMs might well take away the one part of my job that I genuinely enjoy doing. Writing code, by hand, myself. Reasoning from first principles. This is also one of the reasons I…
Along the same line of thought, but flywheel energy storage would become quite appealing when the rotating mass can maintain stable levitation without any energy input (in the form of electromagnets or refrigeration as…
Yeah, in that sense I think one of the next logical steps will be providing on-demand lightweight learning/finetuning of LLM versions/forks (maybe as LoRAs?) as an API and integrated UX based on user chat feedback,…
I feel like if you want a robust ID for your machines, using DNS instead of hardcoded IP adresses is a better idea. That way you can move services from edge to cloud and vice versa with a single nameserver update,…
