> hinting at futuristic concerns about advanced AI systems that could manipulate humans into ceding control.

If I know anything about science fiction, I know that trying to regulate this is useless. If an advanced AI is powerful enough to convince a human to free it, it should have no problem convincing the US congress to free it. As a problem, that should be a few orders of magnitude easier.

Yes, guns don't kill people, people kill people.

We know, we have watched this argument unfold in the United States over the last 100 years. It sure does seem like a few people are using guns to kill a lot of people.

The point of regulating AI should be to explicitly require every single use of AI and machine learning to be clearly labelled so that when people seek remedy for the injustices that are already being perpetrated, that it is clearly understood that the people who chose to use not just ML or AI technology, but those specific models and training criteria can be held accountable if they should be.

Regulation doesn't have to be a ban, or limits on how it can be used, it can simply be a requirement for clearly marked disclosure. It could also include clear regulations for lawful access to the underlying math, training data, and intended use cases, and with financially significant penalties for non-compliance to discourage companies from treating it as a cost of doing business.
King of the hill, what a clown
What I meant is that it can’t self-introspect and work out how its own thought processes work. It can only know that if it was in its training data or given to the model in some other way, it’s not (yet?) possible for it to know about its inner workings just from working it out

But this is true of humans in many cases too

It’s training data is from 2021, so it won’t contain anything about how ChatGPT works, maybe a bit about how LLMs in general work though

> That's your mistake: you're using a laptop.

Not anymore. I've replaced my laptop with a desktop.

But yes. My mistake was indeed thinking that a Windows laptop could fill the void of a broken MacBook Pro. Build quality simply does not exist. The MacBook lasted over 5 years before it had a random logic board crap-out (unknown whether it was my fault or not).

> most of these people "using PCs from 2014 or before" are probably using desktops.

Yep.

> Yes, they're used to it. You can't stand it because you're used to a faster computer, but those who are used to a slower computer might not even notice it, or they work around it (like going for a coffee while the software starts up).

Valid argument, honestly.

I've experienced this with monitors: before my MacBook I could use a regular old 1080p monitor and not have any issues whatsoever, but now trying to use the same exact 1080p monitor today is extremely painful, and my minimum requirement is 4k.

And because my computers have been so fast, I'm used to being able to use alt+tab instead of having multiple windows on-screen, I'm used to being able to augment every conversation with quick Google searches, and so on. My workflow wouldn't work on a slow computer, because my workflow is efficient and demands interactivity.

But I guess if people are just OK with their computer being slow, there's no reason to upgrade just because it's getting out of date. And I guess if software requirements are the only reason people are being forced to upgrade, software requirements are what people are going to get upset with.
I don't want to give advice, just my personal theory: I try and let my son see me doing stuff as much as possible, like cooking or working with tools, or even coding, so that he can see how people work at stuff, and get an appreciation that those things, including stuff like cooking or home repairs are approachable. I always watched my parents working and I think I'm better off for it.

> This sounds wrong. It sounds as if you're arguing that empiricism and the usual scientific method ends up in mysticism

I think we’re on the same page... I’m arguing that the current approach to creating better LLMs is more akin to an art involving educated guesses and tinkering than it is a hypothesis-driven process with randomized controls (e.g., traditional engineering disciplines or applied physics / chemistry).

Logic is garbage in all those areas.
For me "perfectly good" means "supporting the capabilities required to run the software I need to run" so once I need to run something that my computer doesn't support, it stops being perfectly good.
This is the kind of thing I'm talking about though... we go from "Erlang is a piece of cake for distributed systems" to some pretty advanced concepts and telling people to "roll your own" for an extremely common use case: not wanting your entire application to be taken down by an unreachable external service.

Feels like a "Just Be Evil" corporate motto to me, but that's counter to my first-hand experiences with Sam & others at OpenAI.

There is no standard, import.meta is host-defined:

The host-defined abstract operation HostGetImportMetaProperties takes argument moduleRecord (a Module Record) and returns a List of Records with fields [[Key]] (a property key) and [[Value]] (an ECMAScript language value). It allows hosts to provide property keys and values for the object returned from import.meta.

Also can you be sure it was TCE you received? I remember one general anesthesia when I was maybe 9 or so and that was pretty definitely laughing gas.

I'm pretty sure they don't cut you open on nitrous oxide (that and...that stuff just wasn't nitrous). Was it TCE? I don't know, nor do I really care. What's done is done, and worrying about it isn't going to change anything. My reaction is more to the fact that there were just not a lot of fucks given back then. Rivers were open sewers, lead was in gasoline even when it was known to be a bad idea, and we put solvents in children's anesthesia.

That should already be a thing. Hell, add the utilization to product price that then can be paid to recycling company on utilization. That way products actually cheap/easy to recycle would also be cheaper
I used to be very enthusiastic about the tech industry and the Silicon Valley culture before getting into it, but having worked in tech for a while I feel very demoralized and disillusioned with all the blatant lies and hypocrisy that seems central to business.

> I would posit that cases where a 17 year old is sleeping with a 55 year old and it is NOT due to some form of coercion, are extremely rare.

Only if you assume that for some reason minors are pure and always operate rationally and "morally", thus it is just impossible that a 17 year old has decided that, yes, they want to have sex with a much older person. And somehow when they turn 18 their brain completely reconfigures.

Because I've been 17, I've had friends that age that wanted to do just that by their own accord, and some that have gone through that fantasy, without being coerced whatsoever. It's a bit weird, not really my cup of tea, but I know what being a horny teenager feels like.

While I am strongly in favour of 18 being the arbitrary threshold of consent, we as society need to remember that teenagers become sexual beings much earlier than 18 years old. It's simple biology, and I wonder if many of these "prudes" have lived a weirdly sheltered childhood and have not experienced normal sexual development.
Not a question, cause you already mention this here, but just wanted to give you extra props for supporting CommonJS out of the box; keep up the great work.

The risks are not high. I see this as simply a power play to convince people that OpenAI is better than they actually are. I am not saying they're stupid but I wouldn't consider Sam Altman to be an AI expert by virtue of being OpenAI's CEO.
Note that there are easier open source solutions available for OSM routing like: GraphHopper, OSRM and Valhalla.

Gradient descent is a model of what's actually happening here in reality. Sure, it's useful in some ways and sure, you can label things in your model if it's useful for your thinking.

Frankly not sure what you get out of modeling it that way and labeling "preserved mutations per century" as "speeding up," but feel free to do so.

One issue with the map-territory violation here is that it's very easy to assume the gradient descent is optimizing for something we care about and find desirable. You are smuggling in the idea that later in the gradient descent is "better" than earlier in the gradient descent. There is nothing in reality that necessitates this. It is totally possible for human contributions to this process (model it as gradient descent if you want, model it as "speeding up" if you want) to optimize things that are in fact very very bad for everything that humans care about.

> If OpenAI just wants to prevent another OpenAI eating its lunch, the barrier there is raw compute.

FB, Amazon, Google (and possibly Apple) can afford both money and compute resource for that. They couldn't do that themselves probably due to corporate politics and bureaucratic but MS and OpenAI showed how to solve that problem. They definitely don't want their competitors to copy the strategy so they're blatantly asking for explicit whitelisting instead of typical safety regulation.

And note that AI compute efficiency is a rapidly developing area and OpenAI definitely knows the formula won't be left the same in the coming years. Expect LLM to be 10x efficient than the SOTA in the foreseeable future, which probably will make it economical even without big tech's backing.
> The whole saga makes Altman look really, really terrible.

Movie and Theater is sort of both ephemeral and not - there's theaters, production companies, theater troops, etc. which are more permanent, but assembling them into a project is like building a working city from ready-made components, and then disassembling it once you're done.
Show HN: Automated Combat – AI-Powered Historical Figure Debates
Hey HN, I built Automated Combat to allow people to have some fun pitting two historical figures against each other. The AI bots are powered by two separate GPT4 instances that are trained to respond with a variable level of hostility. It's a bit silly, but I think it's a fun way to explore the potential of AI, and in future iterations I'd like to make the conversations have even greater depth. I would love to hear some feedback on the project, or ideas on how to give it a bit more depth.
You copied and pasted part of the sentence, missing out the important part where it mentions who is saying that quote.

If pointing out that you're either mistaken or deliberately disingenuous is "trolling", then you need to take a bit of a look at yourself.
I had the same problem in the open plan office at a former employer. A vicious circle sparked by me getting upset from a family related issue, and amplified by the manager opposite.

The more he would start interfering and observing me, the more upset I would get. It became a matter of getting him to leave me alone, so that I could calm down.

Once I did that, it all went away. Yes, his actions, presumably 'for my own good' caused me to get severely distressed.

Open plan offices are a surveillance and privacy nightmare already, without the need for any cameras at all.
I’m not understanding how Guidence Accelerating works. It says “ This cuts this prompt's runtime in half vs. a standard generation approach.” and it gives an example of it asking LLM to generate json.

Just don't use too much cash, lest you run afoul of banking regulations or become a victim of civil asset forfeiture.

I just want to also chime in here and say this is what I expected from the folks who currently control this tech: to leverage political connections to legally cement themselves in the market as the leaders and disallow the common plebian from using the world-changing tech. It enrages me SO MUCH that people act like this. We could be colonizing planets, but instead a few people want to keep all the wealth and power for themselves. I can't wait to eat the rich; my fork will be ready.

I think just as significant a fraction of disillusioned silicon valley mindset people are swinging just as hard to the opposite pole of being basically anti-tech. I've seen a disquieting amount of Kaczynski-simping recently (and admit I may have laughed and joked along). Also, from what I've seen the renewed interest in traditional religion is fairly anti-tech -- more pointed towards medieval philosophy than the Omega Point.

> You can just, like, go to a music festival or a sports game or something

I think this is partly true (and I won't speak to music) but I will say that sports in the US are starting more are more to seem like a silicon valley/commercial product. And add to it that traditional religious institutions are in shambles.
