Among my first reactions upon hearing "artificial superintelligence" were "I can finally get answers to my favorite philosophical problems" followed by "How do I make sure the ASI actually answers them correctly?" Anyone else reacted like this?

Sometimes I despair for humanity. This is someone who understands quantum computing and cryptocurrency, yet this is how he thinks about the AI transition. How on Earth do we get through any crisis or opportunity that requires deep strategic thinking?

Me: Humanity should intensively study all approaches to the Singularity before pushing forward, to make sure we don't mess up this once in a lightcone opportunity. Ideally we'd spend a significant % of GWP on this. Others: Even $50 million per year is too much.

“Altman began approaching other board members, individually, about replacing her. When these members compared notes about the conversations, some felt that Altman had misrepresented them as supporting Toner's removal.” "Things like that had been happening for years."

So @norabelrose has launched an AI optimism movement. Nora knows a lot about AI controllability so I take it seriously when they say that AI (at least the kind that we have now) is easy to control. However even if we live in a fully panglossian world about controllability, the…

@RokoMijic @kanzure @perrymetzger Like, this isn't my first moral panic you guys. I remember a while back one of the cryonics mailing list regulars was outed as a "satanic" "vampire" cult leader.

@elonmuskADO X should be the holding company that owns Twitter and Twitter should be Twitter.
@elonmuskADO No. Awkward in conversation, impossible to search for, and has zero brand equity after two years of trying. Bring back Twitter as the brand, let X be the holding company.
@AISafetyMemes @sama Yeah in terms of general knowledge base AI can do it. Anything past that, such as abstract thoughts of diagnostics based on a large dataset, unless you have a specific ML model for the disease you are testing for, its too inaccurate. I also think USMLE is not a good metric for…
@AISafetyMemes @sama I can tell you that as someone who works in AI with healthcare, you can't yet. It turns out that creating AI for pictures and generic text or playing games with limited rules set is easier than complicated abstraction and synthesis.
@AISafetyMemes @sama You sure you did not forget to update your fact sheet? Midjourney v4 was already pretty good and it was default between Nov 2022 and May 2023. The left image is probably not v4, but something older, and if it is, it's not representative to it.
@AISafetyMemes @sama My tldr response is that there will always be an enormous gap in the ability to manipulate the world of bits versus ability to manipulate the world of atoms. AGI applied to this these abilities is of coursescaled upwards, but so too is the gap.

It's unfortunate how discourse about dangerous capability evals often centers threats from today's models. Alice goes "Look, GPT-4 can hack stuff / scam people / make weapons," Bob goes "Nah, it's really bad at it." Bob's right! The ~entire worry is scaled-up future systems.

A “surgical pause” won’t work because: 1) Politics doesn’t work that way 2) We don’t know when to pause For the politics argument, I think people are acting as if we could just go up to Sam or Dario and say “it’s too dangerous now. Please press pause”. Then the CEO would just…
Vernor Vinge seems to be the author that got the future most "right" to me by contrast, Charlie Stross's Accelerando is very rooted in a particularly 2000 view of the future of tech do others feel this way, or does VV speak to me because we share common ground?

All the dramatic claims have been about Twitter, but I feel like Facebook has already quietly become basically-not-a-functional-website. It is no longer a place with core functionality like 'in a discussion, there's a way for each person to get notified when the other responds'.
@shdu11546816 @weidai11 @RokoMijic @TolgaBilge_ Why not try for the best case scenario instead of submitting to weird ass polite AIs who would choose to build a different future from you? That's what we're getting by default.
My luck with AI continues. I tried what I thought was an easy one. Me: How much current would be required to charge a 80 kWh battery in 10 minutes at 480V? ChatGPT: 600,000A. Me: That's wrong, here why. CGPT: You're right! The answer is 600,000A. Me: That's the same answer.

This is a petty case, but I'm always fascinated by those who use the language of human rights to remove them. "I want to ban people from building things I dislike" becomes, with the wave of a hand, "My preference should be a human right." Neat trick if you can manage it.
