I literally just saw a xitter post about how the exploding pagers in Lebanon is actually a microcosm of how a ‘smarter’ entity (the yahood) can attack a ‘dumber’ entity, much like how AGI will unleash the diamond bacterium to simultaneously kill all of humanity.

Which again, both entities are humans- they have the same intelligence you twats. Same argument people make all the time w.r.t. Spanish v Aztecs where gunpowder somehow made Cortez and company gigabrains compared to the lowly indigenous people (and totally ignoring the contributions of the real super intelligent entity: the small pox virus).

Some of my favorite reactions to this paradigm shift in machine intelligence we are witnessing:

bless you Melanie.

Mine olde friend, the log scale, still as beautiful the day I met you

Weird, the AI that has read every chess book in existence and been trained on more synthetic games than any one human has seen in a lifetime still doesn’t understand the rules of chess

^(just an interesting data point from Ernie, + he upvotes pictures of my dogs on FB so I gotta include him)

Dog tax

I’ve clowned on Dan before for personal reasons, but my god, this is the dumbest post so far. If you had a superhuman forecasting model, you wouldn’t just hand it out like a fucking snake oil salesman. You’d prove you had superhuman forecasting by repeatably beating every other hedge fund in the world betting on stock options. The fact that Dan is not a trillionaire is proof in itself that this is hogwash. I’m fucking embarrassed for him and frankly seething at what a shitty, slimily little grifter he is. And he gets to write legislation? You, you have to stop him!

Take a look w/ your own googly eyes

thanks for the tip! 🙏

Yud definitely sided with Mr. House

Fellas, my in laws gave me a roomba and it so cute I put googly eyes on it. I’m e/acc now

It used to require certain models have a “kill switch” but this was so controversial lobbyist got it out. Models that are trained using over 10^26 FLOP have to go undergo safety certification, but I think there is a pretty large amount of confusion about what this entails. Also peeps are liable if someone else fine tunes a model you release.

init = RandomUniform(minval=0.0, maxval=1.0) layer = Dense(3, kernel_initializer=init)

pls do not fine tune this to create the norment nexus :(

There’s also whistleblower protections (<- good, imo fuck these shady ass companies)

Do you think tiny master chief is a Flat Ringer? Like if he’s so smol, maybe it’s hard for him to see the curve (fact)

1. What if being perfectly copyable is actually like, idk, a huge disadvantage? If this AI is a program in machine code, being able to be run exactly by its human adversaries allows them to perfectly predict how the AI responds in any situation.
2. kek
3. Tell us more about the elusive will of programs :) Also just love,love,love the idea that by being able to run computations faster it’s game over for humankind. Much like how 0 IQ Corona virus/mosquitos/and small pox stood no chance against our Monkey Brain super intelligence.
4. Fellas, it’s been 0 days since Rationalist have reinvented the halting problem.

I was just watching the vid! I was like, oh wow all of these levels look really familiar… it’s not imagining new “Doom” locations, its literally a complete memorization the levels. Then I saw their training scheme involved an agent playing the game and suddenly I’m like oh, you literally had the robot navigate every level and look around 360 to get an image of all locations and povs didnt you?

e/acc bros in tatters today as Ol’ Musky comes out in support of SB 1047.

Meanwhile, our very good friends line up to praise Musk’s character. After all, what’s the harm in trying to subvert a lil democracy/push white replacement narratives/actively harm lgbt peeps if your goal is to save 420^69 future lives?

Some rando points out the obvious tho… man who fled California due ‘to regulation’ (and ofc the woke mind virus) wants legislation enacted where his competitors are instead of the beautiful lone star state 🤠 🤠 🤠 🤠 🤠

REAL

ong this is the funniest shit i’ve seen in a while, pls be real

:( I just wanted to see how many electrons I could make dance on the head of a wafer, I didn’t mean to hurt anyone :(

Some ‘scientists’ cough Yud/Rob/Kokotajlo cough believe in FOOM. Anyways, let’s not question this fundamental assumption so we can engage in fear baiting and mental masturbation for the remainder of our show. It’s bonkers that people keep citing Kokotajlo as an AI researcher, like, I have serious doubts this man knows what a computer is. Pretty good at grifting though. Also why is Rob Miles still listed as a PhD student. Like cant he hurry up and fuckin graduate already? Christ.

As an aside, I remember watching a PBS space time and seeing sponsored by Open Philanthropy (or some other EA organization) and I was like no not my beloved PBS!! I know it feels :(
