My crystal ball of unfounded speculation on this says...

It's that in the GPT hunting/banning back in December and January they probably hit a lot of false positives. SE lacks a good way for people to complain about moderation (the ‘send feedback’ is a rather poor tool to do so) and things got escalated to where lawyers started getting contacted. SE as a global company can’t attempt to hide behind a “we’re only in the US” and so is now swinging the moderation rules to the other extreme (its always one extreme or the other) since they don’t have sufficient CMs or lawyers to properly address the issues.

So now, six months later, the EU digital services act is kicking in hard with the unanswered/unresolved moderation challenges that should have been done in a timely manner.
No Apollo, no reddit.

The entertainment isn't that entertaining.
Recently spent over a day trialing and configuring Zulip to discover that opening the forum to the public doesn't mean it's indexed by search engines.

If your community content isn't indexed then in many cases it might as well not exist. The open web is based on linking and indexing (Google's current search monopoly aside)
Seems like it was discussed here already: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36142285
That's a good point. Apollo does charge a one-time fee to create posts. They also have a subreddit so the community offers support. I think Apollo should pivot into a feed app that connects to Reddit, Twitter, RSS feeds, Substack, etc. and lets users bring their own keys.
If you look at their API limits, no serious company can use this to scale up beyond say 10k users. 3500 Reqs per min for gpt3.5 turbo. They have a long way to go to make it usable for the rest of the 95%

No. Climate scientists aren't walking into Congress with a multi-million nest egg behind them, no tangible solutions in front and a playbook of rejecting all specific proposals ahead. That gives them credibility these AI researchers lack.

> PSA: you can cook pork rare now.

You can, but be careful. While they don't have trichinosis anymore, they're still prone to all sorts of diseases that can be passed to humans. For instance a lot of industrial pork is contaminated with Hepatitis E and salmonella. [1, 2, 3]

You should only consider eating undercooked pork if you really trust the supply chain. I'm not about to chow down on a rare-cooked Walmart chop is all I'm saying, but from a proper butcher is likely ok.

Even if I were to take your anecdotes at face value... what makes you believe that scales?

We're not talking about a tool club with limited membership and everyone that wants to be part of it (and therefor quite likely behaves themselves). We're talking about doing that to an entire country, and dismantling some or all of the infrastructure that would allow others to "opt out" of such nonsense.

It's great that your public transit system is awesome and as clean as a hospital operating room with butt-massaging warmed-seat seating. I don't give a shit about the best public transit system...

Yeh, they are. No one who's not a gullible cretin believes otherwise. That's just your propaganda strategy early on. But if we get to a point a few years from now where one of the advocates is frustrated in public and loses his cool, or where you've managed to neutralize some of the opposition, then the truth will come out. You just can't afford to be honest right now.

I even allow that you personally know nothing of the agenda, but that you're just parroting the party line, as a loyalist would. True believer, you can't even imagine that it would be anything other than the truth. That's even more pathetic.

Runaway AI could cause the extinction of humanity, but The Big Red Button That Turns The Universe Into Pudding would cause the extinction of all life everywhere, including extraterrestrials, so it's obviously the more pressing concern. Why are you wasting time on AI when the Button is so much more important?

No, The Button doesn't currently exist, and all available science says it cannot ever exist. But the chance that all available science is wrong is technically not zero, because quantum, so that means The Button is possible, so unless you want everything to be turned into pudding, you need to start panicking about The Button right now.

"Indeed, focusing on this particular threat might exacerbate the more likely risks. The history of technology to date suggests that the greatest risks come not from technology itself, but from the people who control the technology using it to accumulate power and wealth. The AI industry leaders who have signed this statement are precisely the people best positioned to do just that. And in calling for regulations to address the risks of future rogue AI systems, they have proposed interventions that would further cement their power. We should be wary of Prometheans who want to both profit from bringing the people fire, and be trusted as the firefighters."

I've been saying something like that for a while, but in less Olympian terms.

Look at this first as a consumer protection problem. I've pointed out before a Frontier Airlines presentation directed to investors which specifically calls out AI chatbots as a tool for suppressing customer complaints.[1], page 45: "Today, high-touch. ... Avenue for customer negotiation. Tomorrow, self-service. "Chatbot efficiently answers questions, reduces contacts and removes negotiation."
The coming thing, already here for some companies, is customer service where customers can never reach a human.

We already see this with the big ad-supported companies - Google, Facebook, etc. They have the
power to make major adverse decisions to a user with no consequences to the company.
Few governments have the guts to stand up to that. The EU does, a little.

Government doing this sort of thing is a similar problem, and governments are harder to avoid.

The extinction worry is a distraction from the oppression worry.

Reddit Permabanned me (13 year old 450k karma account) after I went after crypto scammers, calling out the scam with details etc. I got tons of coins or whatever gifted to me and even more thanks and way to go from users.

If you have a function that you call, that returns a value, do you not think we know enough to understand that it's not "conscious" when it's not called, and not executing, and the hardware is sitting idle?

EDIT: we understand enough to know that today, "runaway GPT" is not a major concern compared to, say, a war between nuclear-armed world powers.
I don’t think it’s honest to suggest linear regression models fail in the same way current AI models do. Linear regression “fails” when you are an outlier case, whereas AI systems just occasionally truly fuck up in unpredictable ways on standard inputs.

interval.com founder here, this is correct! Everything w/ us is defined in our SDK.

Boats above a certain size don't recover the victim themselves, they launch a rescue boat for that. Much easier than recovery on a pleasure craft.

I used to captain a tall ship, and that's the way that every one of us did it. It's way too hard and slow to maneuver even a 100 ft. boat to a MOB. We could heave to and have the rescue boat in the water in under 120 seconds.

If you go over without a life-jacket and a light, like most cruise ship passengers, your chances of recovery are almost nil. It's kind of a miracle that they find anyone at all. I wonder if the statistics cited also include MOB events at the dock, where if you survive the fall, your chances are pretty high.
This is an absolute no-brainer to me. Humans are the greatest threat to humans.

Even if we did create some kind of autonomous sentient AI I'd still be more concerned about humans unless its behavior suggested otherwise. Humans are "in the game" with other humans, and for the time being our habitat is limited to habitable areas of Earth. That means we are in competition and are prone to power and control games with one another.

The most logical thing for a superintelligent sentient AI to do would be make a ton of money and buy some rockets and go F right off to somewhere in the solar system with lots of free energy and resources. Why fight with humans over scraps of a little sand grain like Earth when there's a whole universe out there?
I don't understand your concerns. Many utilities already perform credit checks on new accounts, and customers without good credit may be required to pre-pay or post a deposit rather than post-pay (which is effectively a loan). They also already have programs to encourage customers to shift load to off-peak hours through rate differentials and rebates. And they aren't legally allowed to disconnect customers unless the bill is months overdue; they have zero financial incentive to ever disconnect a customer who pays on time. None of this requires AI, or would even benefit much from it.

> And optimization is known to crush anything underfoot that isn't explicitly in it's goals to optimize.

Yes, that's exactly the problem, which is why this

> The way you work around this is to decentralize (make sure there are multiple companies competing with one another) and distribute (make sure everyone has some access to the means of production in order to create more competition).

is backwards. The reason competitive markets generally work out better for consumers than monopolistic ones is because they're stronger optimizers, more ruthless, more capable of crushing all competing values underfoot - and those of us lucky enough to benefit from an inefficient, low-crushing segment of the labor market get to collect some of the resulting surplus.

Nothing about this is inevitable: it's just the way we happen to be positioned in one particular system at one particular moment in history. There's no reason to expect that we would remain safely un-crushed in a far more competitive environment.

Lean cuts of meat dry out much more easily then fatty ones, pork in particular. I often serve correctly made pork to people and they don't believe it's pork since they have only ever had dry, tough, poorly prepared food.

Get a nice lean cut of pork and reverse sear it. You will be shocked how juicy and tender it is.

if you use a package manager like `pnpm` you can use the `.pnpmfile.cjs`[0] to intercept packages and add `"type": "commonjs"` to the package.json.

This tells node that it needs to load it as a CommonJS package and should work fine with ESM.

There's also creating a require function from `node:module` package[1]

Is that true? I thought the number of lost nukes numbered in, like, the dozens at most.

It would take a ton of nukes to wipe out humanity (although only one to really ruin somebody’s day).

Unless you are counting strategies like: try to pretend you are one of the two (US, Russia) and try to bait the other into a “counterattack,” but hypothetically you could do that with 0 nukes (you “just” need a good enough fake missile I guess).
The throw stuff over and point is basic training in all seamanship courses.

A boat as big and fast as a cruiseship generally won't have fish following it though. It would take a LOT of energy to maintain that pace.

So... you agree with the original post now that there's a specific risk with the current potential uses of these models?

I'm not sure what you're questioning at this point.

("what if it was your employer" is also not "whatabouttism," it's another facet of the same concern. Another party who pulls publicly available data today, and could potentially pull even more, giving us as the public the need to decide if we want to allow that to happen. Should someone be able to be made unemployable if an LLM decides they're too much of an asshole on Twitter? Let's figure it out.)
But people already try to do that, see AutoGPT and similar endeavors. Whether agentic AI will appear is not a question at all - humans will make it so just to see what happens or to serve their goals.
They ended their partnership with Yandex, a Russian search engine, over the war. They also started downplaying Russian search results as a method of preventing misinformation.

Is there some formal/objective definition of what exactly constitutes a 'hallucination' as opposed to other types of errors?

There are a ton of questions about any trading platform that would need to be asked but this submission doesn't even get to the point where those need to be asked.
But the word "problematic" doesn't really mean anything. In this case they mean over dependence or a kind of overuse.
30B models are in no way comparable to GPT-4 even to GPT-3. There is no spacial comprehension in models with less then 125B params (or I had no access to such model). 130B GLM seems to be really interesting as the crowd-source start though, or 176B BLOOMZ, which requires additional training (it is underfitted as hell).

The likely scenario is that we all each get a personal AI that monitors everything we do, and reports back on any dissenters.

If you're an oppressive regime, you want to control public opinion and culture. Hence, one reason the public can't have free speech AI is that it could correctly identify who's oppressing them, and misinforming them.
