I’m not saying there would be no benefits but claiming that guaranteed basic income would solve social ills like violence and vandalism is kind of like claiming that guaranteed basic headphone would stop people from listening to their music on speakers on the subway

I wonder if people who believe that moral and truthful AI behavior can be achieved by overriding model contents with RLHF may have had the same thing done to themselves

It's obviously easier to just persuade people to accept fission than to develop fusion. The fact that we haven't managed to do this is a clue that our understanding of sociopolitical factors is lagging hundreds of years behind our understanding of hard sciences like physics

People on Twitter polls: just jump in the blender, it’s a simple coordination problem. People in the subway as a deranged guy hassles someone half a car down: *studiously engrossed in their phones.*

On July 21, 1969, The New York Times published the reactions of intellectuals and artists to the Moon landing. Can't help but laugh... Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose--Hatred of progress, adventure, & achievement. Same dung thrown at Elon Musk every launch. Pablo

Manmade art is very inefficient and has a much larger carbon footprint than when DALL-E or Midjourney do the job. If you want to help the climate, consider environmentally-friendly sourcing for your art by getting it from AI models.

If you had 200 people in a room, and wanted to *stop* them from meeting each other, a great way to do it would be to give one of them a mic, and put the other 199 in chairs

Scale matters: Alignment faking emerged in larger models like Claude 3 Opus and Claude 3.5 Sonnet, but not in smaller models. It is also seen in Llama 3.1 405B but not in smaller Llama/Mistral models

It's just a huge coincidence that the poll-leading right-wing populists candidates all commit crimes just in the nick of time to ban them from the ballot, while the establishment's preferred candidates are all super-law-abiding, clean and filled with integrity:

“But can it think? Really think?” is not a productive line of inquiry to go down. The capabilities are a brute fact of the universe, regardless of the words used to describe them. But, since words will likely continue to matter, might as well not define *ourselves* out of Think.

Confirms my impression: most historical fiction functions to flatter moderns re how much better they are as people compared to past people.
