This is one of the best posts I have read in a while. Multiple moments where the muddy waters of alignment became slightly clearer: alignmentforum.org/posts/vJFdjigz…
On watching the Robert Gadling sequence in The Sandman, I was struck by how little things changed between 1389 and 1889 (500 years!). Jump-cut to 1989 and BAM everything is different: phones, cars, speedboats... What the hell is 2089 going to look like when they meet next?!
You know you're in too deep with EA when your friends use "moral realist" as an insult
Wow, 2022 has been a pretty wild year in AI developments. Time to reset the clock.

Our gift to the incoming @Speechmatics ML Engineers has arrived: @TomChivers's fantastically accessible introduction to AI Safety and rationality. (Managed to sneak my own copy in as well....)
It's also interesting how strong the evidence is on spaced repetition vs how it's a) almost totally UNdiscussed in education policy world & b) almost no teachers know about it & few schools teach it. My memory is shockingly bad, Anki is like magic

I recently wrote a summary of @AnthropicAI's first paper: lesswrong.com/posts/oBpebs5j… It's really nice to see a lab working on Safety and not open-sourcing capability.
Markov blankets becoming more relevant than ever!
VQ-VAE can be interpreted as Bayesian Networks with Mixture-Gaussian Prior, if we treat l2 distance between z_q and z_e as logit. Interesting. arxiv.org/abs/2002.08111 This also reminds me of @kchonyc's recent post about Soft K-NN.

Caveat number 2, which is more recent, and (imho) clearer: alignmentforum.org/posts/TWorNr22…
Anthropic arguably initiated the growing consensus around non-publication of “capabilities” research—they publish openly, but only on safety/interpretability. Don’t lump them with FAIR 😜
9/ Already, many other LLM players like Adept, Character, and Cohere have not published the details of their models. Just blog posts. FAIR and Anthropic might remain as the only large open research labs.
Terrifying to realize our society's "world is about to end" alarm has been going off nonstop for our entire lives. Almost every psychologically healthy person has learned to tune it out. We burned through our x-risk coordination commons long ago.
This is a fruitful direction for alignment research. Great work by the @AnthropicAI team
It’s hard work to make evaluations for language models (LMs). We’ve developed an automated way to generate evaluations with LMs, significantly reducing the effort involved. We test LMs using >150 LM-written evaluations, uncovering novel LM behaviors. anthropic.com/model-written-…
2/ This is my first paper with Anthropic and I had a huge privilege to be working on this project w/ @EthanJPerez, @sam_ringer, @kamilelukosiute, and all other members! Some crucial charts from the paper:
We found a way to write language model (LM) evaluations w/ LMs. These evals uncover many worrying LM behaviors, some relevant to existential risks from AI. For example, LMs trained w/ RL from Human Feedback learn to state a desire to not be shut down. 🧵 x.com/anthropicai/st…

Use human preference data to fine-tune language models. It’s officially cool now! 🤠
NVIDIA is selling a new A800 to circumvent recent export restrictions. I think this might be a bad move, and the USG should probably extend the restrictions to cover a wider variety of GPUs with reduced bandwidth. Otherwise, China's AI progress might continue. Here's why🧵⬇️
Is it an EA retreat if you don't get asked at least once if what you're doing is net positive?
Our paper was accepted at #NeurIPS2022 🎉 We train a counterfactual model for predicting a single cell's response to drug molecules. chemCPA is accurate even for drugs that haven't been measured in a single-cell setting, and outperforms existing models 💊🧫
Happy to present our work on “Predicting Single-Cell Perturbation Responses for Unseen Drugs” at #ICLR2022 @MLDD_Workshop (spotlight) today at 12pm ET. The method, chemCPA, predicts phenotypic responses by including the molecular information about drugs:
I started finding the front page of the EA forum a little too busy to keep on top of everything that gets posted. In August there were over 450 forum posts! I made this app displaying every post with > 10 karma, so I can choose what to read. This happened overnight!
Content generation AI appears to be blowing robotics/control systems out of the water lately. Still no self driving cars, but there are going to be some extremely fast services in the near future
Re-up: “What’s the optimal number of bread loaves to ship to your town each year?” “That’s an absurd question—I have no idea. Haven’t you read Hayek? Let the market figure it out.” “OK. What’s the optimal number of foreign workers to immigrate to the US each year?” “140,000.”

I'd probably be working on AI alignment even if I gave no weight whatsoever to the wellbeing of future people. Don't think the case for AI alignment work depends all that much on longtermism.
When people say that effective altruism focuses on weird stuff too much, I remember that it was people in and around EA who convinced me to worry about COVID back when all my real-life friends thought it was a silly, overblown concern or simply hadn't thought about it at all.
Shameless plug: I’m now ~2 months into my sabbatical-year visit to Anthropic, and I’m really impressed.
