It's not that AI necessarily means our doom, it's just that the potential is rapidly approaching.

I mean you can literally see AI going faster from one day to the next. Last night GPT-4 was like 50% faster than the day before. Obviously that doesn't happen every day but it will continue to accelerate over the next few years.

So say five years down the line how fast do you think the output will be? The reason hyperspeed AI could be dangerous is because it can be given instructions like "take over" and no human can possibly keep up. So then everything becomes a competition between these AIs. You just have to hope that your side has the fastest/smartest one and not some psychopath who may just decide to make his as life-like and self-centered as possible.

Some people may think that if it goes fast that's not a big deal because it still doesn't really "think" or something but that is just denial. The leading edge models have real problem solving ability and will continue to get better. And much, much faster, as the software, models and hardware are improved. In the near term, not decades away.
I'm curious about what happened too. Non custodial? Then how? Was the application FOSS? If not, I'd guess they were collecting some kind of data they shouldn't have been.

I wonder if this is the reason for philosophical/religious shifts in history. Eg axial age ideas of loving your neighbour/all being one reduced conflict which allowed the social cohesion needed for large complex societies to be stable enough to survive.

I think we will need a similar shift in the modern age. Some religious/philosophical movement with a morality which makes waste and pollution sinful/shameful for environmental protection. I also think a ‘liturgical’ epistemological system is needed to reframe ‘truth’ and the value in reason. In this way absurd situations like ignoring externalities could be considered sinful rather than the status quo where most people do not care that these things don’t make sense.

This is kind of a reaction to hyper-individualism and cynicism, which I think is the reason for most modern problems. When people do not see themselves as part of a whole, they become their own god and stop caring about the commons. Apathy becomes the default.

TLDR: we need a cultural shift where people have greater respect for the environmental/intellectual commons

Yes, many of these wells are under extremely high pressures and have more than oil in them (natural gas, methane, co2, etc). It's why you see the cliche scene of pil gushing out the top of a rig when they strike oil. It's not like a water well.
Because such a rule would be far too vague (is, easy to subvert by special interests). Sometimes you have to do things the hard way, with long and detailed laws passed by legislatures and updated to account for technological developments.
Most likely, the SARS-CoV-2 virus spread from the "Vector" laboratory in Novosibirsk, where research was being conducted on the "Sputnik V" vaccine.

Evidence:

* The name "Sputnik V" (Fifth Follower) suggests that the vaccine was developed following something, IMHO it was a biological weapon, and that it was the fifth attempt to create a vaccine. It is highly unlikely that Russia could have created and tested five vaccines within a month.

* After an explosion[2] occurred in the biosafety level 4 laboratory "Vector" on September 16, 2019, rapid response soldiers entered the facility and conducted floor-by-floor inspections for signs of fire. They forcibly entered the laboratory without proper protection and also stole equipment from the premises. One such incident was captured on video [0][1] (note the soldier pouring water from a bucket behind the laboratory director during an interview).

* Shortly thereafter, an epidemic of an unknown respiratory virus, causing severe complications, broke out in Siberia, leading to overwhelmed hospitals. SARS-CoV-2 has a high fatality rate when combined with swine flu (IFR 5.4%), but without it, the mortality rate is relatively low, and the symptoms are mild, making it difficult to detect.

* Russia has started deleting videos related to the laboratory explosion at the "Vector" facility and the subsequent epidemic. This suggests that they consider these videos as evidence that could harm Russia.

* It is highly likely that infected soldiers carried the virus into China when the World Military Games began in Wuhan in October 2019[3].

The only company that I felt actually stood by this was linkedin. On top of their whole week off for July 4th and Christmas I actually observed people taking 1-1.5 weeks each quarter on average as part of flex time. Plus with "in days" (1 Friday each month to do absolutely anything including staying home) it was almost 8 weeks of leave each year. Not sure if things are the same now (this was until 2 years ago in the US). I doubt any other company was this generous.

When is it going to be obvious? There is no chemical you can introduce to the world that does not impact the health of it's inhabitants.

I've been realizing it lately. A fish lives in the water it swims in; it is part of the water, it is just a much more opaque murkiness of the water. All living creatures live within a fluid and as part of a biome. If you produce chemicals they will necessarily interact with the biome. The tests our governments mandate for these chemicals, drugs and the like simply aren't enough, every single one of them will come hack with some unexpected (or secretly expected) impact. We have only succeeded when we know what these impacts will be and decided it was worth it.
To make it slightly more complex, some are true
The positive externalities far outweigh the negative ones. Society can't function without cheap energy. It isn't even close, the negative externalities might add up to a couple of years of QoL life lost; and cheap energy enables all the other years. If we taxed based on negative externalities and rewarded based on positive ones oil companies would own literally everything.

This cycloptic focus on downsides is also why we're still largely stuck on 1800s energy technology instead of moving to nuclear. People ought to be using cost-benefit logic to evaluate the power grid.
Sandboxing is also an orthogonal question from packaging. OpenBSD sandboxes applications using pledge; it doesn't require maintaining multiple parallel runtimes to do it.
It is really easy to tackle this problem. Do what the RBI (Reserve Bank of India) did and create a policy whereby PayPal has to payout funds to customers attached bank account in 1 day. RBI banned PayPal from holding funds. And not just PayPal but Stripe and every payment processor out there (unless you are using a MOR then this rule currently does not apply). Since implementation of this rule, PayPal and Stripe are forced payout funds every day for all funds collected from customers throughout the day. They cannot hold any funds. Once payout is initiated, it may take 3-5 working days for the funds to be realized in the account (which I blame SWIFT for being so damn slow).

I've worked on DriveDroid. There were indeed people who have done this.

Best example of such a use-case was someone who wanted to make an old printing press fetch files its files from the internet. The press only had an interface for floppy disks. He replaced the floppy disk controller with a floppy emulator that exposed an USB port. Connected a phone with DriveDroid. Synced usb image files from the internet to be exposed over usb mass storage. The image files were fat images that hold the printing job files. They were generated by the server automatically. It worked pretty well from what I heard.

For many phones it is possible to change the exposed protocol from mtp to mass storage. Mass storage does need an image file with fat filesystem to work on most devices. It nowadays is not possible to expose the phones internal storage.
I keep hoping this will get some commentary while it’s gradually bubbling up the ranking.

So, Fore is based on XForms, a W3C spec (with some widely used extensions, in the ODK XForms spec; disclaimer: I work with ODK) to declaratively define form-based MVC applications. XForms is largely based in the XML family of technologies (forms are XML documents, bindings and computations are XPath expressions), but it’s been adapted to form definitions in Excel (which AFIAK is the most common usage), and with Fore it’s been adapted to authoring and interop with arbitrary web tech (with a BYO-anything attitude that I find refreshing).

I maintain the (AFAIK only) other major web-based XForms implementation, and I was quite surprised that despite regular research I had overlooked Fore until just over a week ago. From what I can tell, it’s a younger but impressively mature and flexible implementation that does great service to the intent of XForms specifically as a web technology. (And if anyone on the team happens to notice this post, I’ll be in touch soon!)

I never knew this was part of the standard. No documentation I saw for calloc (manpages, or similar) ever said it checked for overflow.
They're "artificial neural networks" and it would seem to me it's recognizing stop signs by comparing them to images of stop signs. So I tend to lean toward "AI" is the latest "buzzword". I think in truth it's more akin to a search engine reacting to inputs, but from sensor data, than anything close to real "intelligence" of any kind.

I can see how it appears to intelligent, but it lacks reasoning, creativity, and critical thinking.
Great point. We use far more than just vision.

I just imagined myself driving without sound. That seems crazy to me. I need to hear cars, kids playing, etc.

From reading this article, it seems that the biggest reason AI sucks is that it won't actually destroy humanity.

This article seems more like a critique of AI doomerism.
Be careful with FT.com. They're notoriously anti-China.

I believe they're backed by the Japanese - who themselves feel threatened by China's economic rise. For example, China's EV industry threaten's a major part of Japan's economic, cars.

Therefore, FT has an intrinsic reason to sow China discord in the US so Americans buy less Chinese goods and more Japanese goods.

We need to be more aware of where biases in mainstream media can come from.

I'd agree about border control with a caveat: the real issue isn't entrance control (that's not really even noise in the overall picture) but the fact that the US doesn't track exits except for certain classes of non tourist visas.

Canada can tell you right now who entered on a tourist visa and hasn't left; the US lacks that ability because we refuse to implement universal exit controls.

> axial age ideas of loving your neighbour/all being one

Sounds like the 90s. The world coming together in a return to “nature” was the hip thing back then - from what I heard and experienced as a teen. It can be seen in media of the era like Return To Innocence by Enigma. It was mostly superficial though - there was no real deep engagement with other cultures; else they would have seen the incompatibilities and experience the “clashes” we see today.

> than the status quo where most people do not care that these things don’t make sense.

I don’t think people are “OK” with things not making sense. I think most people feel the world makes sense to them. However each person’s internal model of the world is probably very different from each other’s. We no longer share a “common reality” as much as in the past.
Ive been thinking along these lines as well. How do we get there?
It's difficult to accept Elon and Andrej's reasoning. I suspect that if one asks a team of engineer to research designing a self-driving car, the team wouldn't come back with the argument to use vision since "human could do it with eyes." I expect a list of options with the pros and cons of each approach, along with an estimated timeline and cost.
It's the same here - we just have more options and corporations tell us where to go and what to wear, watch and do.

The corporate world is much more efficient tho

11 millions were killed, and 25 millions were starved to death by Soviets prior to the war. ("Svoboda" (Liberty, Ukrainian outlet in the USA) Oct 04 1941 [0]). Numbers are matching the (hidden and then destroyed) 1926 census, where Ukrainians were listed at 81 million and Russians at 77 million. Russians increased losses in WWWII from 12 to 42 millions to hide about 30 million of kills by Soviets.

Why did you put the word "need" in quotes? I don't see it in the comment you're replying to.

Talos was a Greek automaton (having images dated to 400 BCE) whose creator, Hephaestus, has a name that may be traceable to the Proto-Indo-European word *h₁n̥gʷnís meaning an animate fire, which goes back to 1500 BCE.

Rather than argue with you, I'll agree with you.

As I am a writer, I not only think in language, but I act in language.

I would add a link to a conversation with neuroscientist Anil Seth about the nature of consciousness, and a quote from that, which posits maybe this isn't an either/or situation. There is much diversity in what constitutes "thought", even in humans.

"You know, some people might see colors differently. Other people might have more vivid mental imagery. We might experience the flow of time to be different from one person to another. Our expectations, our tendency to see faces in clouds, let’s say, that might differ from one person to another too. And very little is known about this hidden landscape of inner diversity."

Nobody said it was unique to an electric car. If you put a giant battery in the back of a gasoline powered truck and drove it to your friends house, you could say you were transporting energy. Or if you put a tank of gas for that matter. Seems very similar.

radar is not lidar and is present on lots of vehicles that do L2/L3 driving except newer Tesla. optical sensors do not inherently tell you distance as a function of their sensing, whereas radar does.

a vision only approach _may_ be possible at some time, but only with a strong computational model of the human brain and thought process.

also, most people drive poorly— i wouldn’t say vision is the be-all-end-all of autonomous driving. it’s also clear that waymo and cruise have taken a full sensor based approach and are successful, whereas tesla is not.
Remember the guy who asked ChatGPT to pretend to be a terminal, you could probably do something similar to mess with SSH intruders.
If we wanted to make roads as safe as possible why not equip every vehicle with a breathalyzer that blocks the vehicles ignition if the driver isn't sober?
