i'm 99% sure openai is still silent on image-gpt4 because being able to solve most captchas is freaking them out a bit if catcpha's don't work, we literally have no alternatives right now. what do?

added multi touch support to the string simulator

is anyone working on monitoring second-order effects of potential super-human autonomous AI systems? looking for shifts in patterns in any industry where knowledge can be physically realized: specifically biotech and manufacturing? #safeguard #aisafety #infosafeguard #infohazard

the creative power of the world is breathtaking to watch. each time our tools get a little better and a little bit more accessible, our creations improve more than we imagine possible.

here is an alternative path for society: ignore the culture war. ignore the attention war. make safe agi. make fusion. make people smarter and healthier. make 20 other things of that magnitude.   start radical growth, inclusivity, and optimism.   expand throughout the universe.

In this post Rob Bensinger ⏹️ neatly lays out the argument for a very high likelihood of AI doom. I probably disagree with premise 2b the most. It depends on what counts as "full value loading" but I've not been persuaded that it's "~impossibly difficult". lesswrong.com/posts/QzkTfj4H…

(I still think AI risk is a huge deal, by the way. I suspect some people think I'm a total AI risk skeptic, but I'm not. I just don't give human extinction from AI >50% chance.)

OpenAI the debate rates

new research from OpenAI used gpt4 to label all 307,200 neurons in gpt2, labeling each with plain english descriptions of the role each neuron plays in the model. this opens up a new direction in explainability and alignment in AI, helping make models more explainable and

Do you know what is going on inside the pupa?

If you grant social network apps access to “All Photos” ⚠️ … they can listen to the spoken Audio 💬 in your Live Photos! 🔊 … My friend was just chatting to me about how this is one way ad targeting software can “listen” 🔮 without showing the Mic indicator on your phone. 😱

Alignment should probably begin and end with "don't kill everyone", let it learn the rest Most would not appreciate an immortal super-entity aligned to 1720s human values Would 2200 appreciate one aligned to 2020s human values?
