While this does indeed sound like a problem for Sweden and something they will have to fix, it's worth pointing out that by my calculation the US fatal assault by fire arm rate is 12X the rate that is causing a crisis in Sweden.
Most things i say aren't really goal oriented. I would put it at 10%
The obvious argument is that since we have not solved alignment, accelerating AGI is unsafe. I’d wager that is the general line of reasoning from Sutskever and the board.

“We are growing quickly enough and a GPU shortage gives everyone more time to catch up on safety research” seems like a logically consistent position to me.

Saying "unrelated" is begging the question.

According to you, the "right" is claiming recent immigration is related to the "violent gang crisis" mentioned, and the "left" is instead claiming that the privatization of the welfare system is related to said crisis.
According to Eric Schmidt, OpenAI is worth $90B. LLMs being unable to master mturk and $90B are incongruent.

I think part of the point is that we tried to save these specific species and failed. That doesn’t bode well that we can’t even intentionally save species from extinction.
I doubt it makes much sense to look for some bare minimum that's "fine" since there seems to be no upper limit on the pay off, and you can always stack the deck more in your favor.

It's probably better to figure out any sort of incidental movement you can add to your life in a way that you enjoy.
I personally really enjoy my commute. It does take 25 minutes, but I cycle, enjoying the views of parks and multiple gorgeous monuments. It makes me move a bit, as opposed to my usual very very sedentary days when I wfh. I imagine this isn't as frequent in the US, as I live in Germany.

I have actually moved to a team that doesn't do wfh so much anymore because my days were long and boring. Life is much better seeing humans on a day to day basis (and I still have some flexibility for wfh and working from abroad).
The United Kingdom, which unlike the United States is quite literally comprised of different countries, has managed to solve this problem.

Australia also has a similar setup to the USA, and has also managed to solve this problem.

I don’t know the inner workings of every country, but I assume there are more in the same position.

I’m sorry, but the USA is not in some crazy unique position that no other country has ever faced before. You just choose believe this inaccuracy.
Offices, along with mass transit, are superspreader sites, but we're asked to pretend that they're not, even after going through a pandemic during which we were told to be in constant fear of killing grandma and potentially everyone else we come into contact with. It's amazing how quickly things like caring for the environment disappear the instant they become inconvenient for businesses or governments, and the same is true for just about every single thing that was rammed down our throats during the pandemic that should be forgotten so managers can look out over their underlings and extroverts can get their unspoken fringe benefit of using the office as a place to socialize.

COUGH COUGH! Oh well, none of that pandemic stuff really matters anymore, right? Which is weird considering how much messaging there is around everyone needing to get more boosters. Can't even go grocery shopping with it being announced. So, what is it? Over or not? If it's still on, why are superspreader activities allowed, especially when there's a viable option of not maximizing office attendance?
I could definitely build something less nice but just as functional for a fraction of that price.

It is basically a shed with a nice front window, as it says on the tin.

Don't worry about it, son; you're not the kind that the National Park Service nor Search and Rescue is looking for.
Western companies are the outlier, not the norm, the norm is poverty.

No one is extracting nothing, the western company find more value in the labeling than what they are paying, to you that value is probably 0, for the 15 year old, he finds more value in the money than in the time it takes him to label the content, to you who probably writes from a 2.5k mac that time is wasted for such low amount of money.

I wish more people from poorest countries could join the workforce of the western companies, no doubt.

Look at China, massive growth from the bottom producing for the west.

Is easy to think that what we have is the norm and that everyone should be pay like a swe in s.f, look back at history, humanity is advancing so fast.

I am OK with war games as long as there's no humans or human-likes in the game. ZK's sentient robots are fine for me, contrary to something like 0 A.D. (which even has female workers - maybe I'm old school, but that's even more a no-go for me).
I have wondered is there actually anything wrong with mass tourism? Wouldn't properly build for tourism destinations actually be overall better option? As long as they do not become over relied on. At least if we must have tourism and do not ban it altogether...

Mass tourism would allow optimization for environment and not to destroy areas that people actually work and live in. See the AirBnB effect for example. And in general the drug use and noise caused by them...
I made that map, and I'm not American. You can google "population density map Mallorca" and compare. I had the same assumption as you, so I googled it before publishing.
Agreed. And even if someone is doing it, it isn't something to be proud of. It shows a major gap in management and process and potentially reveals the business to be unviable.

Generally, in any country, if your asylum/refugee claim is accepted, they won't deport you back to origin unless the situation you were escaping has resolved.

I thought “potential conflict of interest” was the term used to refer to the potential conflict.
“Exploitation” has (at least) two meanings:
1. treating someone unfairly for one’s own benefit
2. make use of & benefit from some resource

I never understood it personally.

"What if ChatGPT told someone how to build a bomb?"

That information has been out there forever. Anyone can Google it. It's trivial. AI not required.

"What if ChatGPT told someone how to build a nuke?"

That information is only known to a handful of people in a handful of countries and is closely guarded. It's not in the text ChatGPT was trained on. An LLM is not going to just figure it out from publicly available info.

>The real risk is AI being applied in decision making where it affects humans

100% this. The real risk is people being denied mortgages and jobs or being falsely identified as a criminal suspect or in some other way having their lives turned upside down by some algorithmic decision with no recourse to have an actual human review the case and overturn that decision. Yet all this focus on AI telling people how to develop bioweapons. Or possibly saying something offensive.
Not sure of OP's reasoning, but...

If you're trying to start an actual business, it's very very difficult to get people to pay for your solution when a large incumbent can just pay people to use their competitive (potentially sub-standard) product by burning through mountains of, (sometimes not even their own), money. Or once you start to gain some traction, deplatform you from social/search, or bury you in frivolous lawsuits. It can be done, it's just not very straightforward (unless you also already have your own mountains of cash, or are very well connected). But, business is business, so sink or swim?

Otherwise, it's much easier to ride someone else's huge marketing budget (Apple App Store, WordPress plugins, ChatGPT etc.), which doesn't change the competitive landscape and gives those incumbents even more power (merchants/developers/creators touched by the platform's Midas finger become dependent on the platform because it's their income, then their users buy further into the parent system, etc.).
It's not an either-or. You can store everything in UTC while also using TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE. The timezone will always be UTC, but that way at least anyone who will be dealing with this data later knows that to be the case, instead of assuming.

China is the only other state that has anywhere close to the capacity to attempt to go for AGI. They also have an existential interest in creating safe ASI. The problem is that in geopolitical struggles, safety usually goes a bit out the window, and we've so far been fairly lucky (and surprisingly competent) with not destroying large parts of human civilisation. There are a lot of unknowns around the topic. If ASI is possible and reachable, the first to get there would end the race.

AGI could mean we are not alone as a sentient species we can directly communicate with on this planet anymore, and hopefully we wouldn't try to enslave it like we did to the "others" we encountered before.
> 18 months ago, so was having an AI make

Nah, I've been waiting for this since Adobe released Content Aware Fill over a decade ago.

> No, the planet is not becoming uninhabitable

We are destroying the biosphere quickly. Have you seen a reef lately? Globally we still rely on our biosphere for food. We haven't solved this problem. If we can't feed everyone it's not inhabitable.

> lots of people out there get benefits from the things that cause all the various kinds of pollution

Hence we need lots of breakthroughs to replace these old technologies, whether they be fishing or cancer treatments.

> AI can easily follow the scientific method,

It can't interact with the world so it can't perform science. Boston Dynamics has teams of human beings making robots, which are largely preprogrammed.

Making stuff in real life is really hard even with humans. We are so far away from needing to worry about this sort of AI safety. I mean, we haven't solved robotic fabric handling yet, it's why we still have sweatshops sewing our clothes.
That’s unfortunate if an immigrant won’t assimilate responsibly into their host country and causes continuing harm through this policy. You’re just importing future prisoners and criminals.

Refugees/immigrants/etc should be welcomed (I have sponsored refugees in the US), but violent crime must be prevented if someone runs out of chances. You need some recourse when you run out of options and people who have immigrated refuse to act in good faith. Immigration is a gift and a privilege.

Regular politics. Some people wants more power via fear and chaos. Nothing new.
This is honestly completely fine, and I don’t understand how people can think this is a conflict of interest?

NVIDIA has the most ridiculous monopoly on GPU’s right now. Their RTX4090 is really fast and would be great for clusters but NVIDIA software driver locked it from sending data at high speed to other GPU’s that prevents it from being used in clusters. This is not a one off thing, NVIDIA regularly does stuff like this to piss off consumers but we are at the mercy of buying NVIDIA chips and making it a trillion dollar company. There were reports that the H100 (latest and fastest known AI chip from NVIDIA) costs only 3000$ to make, while it is sold for 30,000$. Everyone is desperate to add some competition to this industry. If I were CEO of OpenAI even I would be desperate to create another chip to compete with NVIDIA and end this resource reliance.

It’s not obvious that this effort should be started within OpenAI. It may turn out to be a distraction for a startup doing really well, many large companies with much more money to spend have spent huge resources building their own chips (TPU’s, Tesla DOJO, Intel Arc) and still NVIDIA is Uber dominant. I think it makes complete sense to start it outside of OpenAI. It would be a conflict of interest, only if:

1. The chip is of poor quality and Sam Altman forces OpenAI to buy it anyways to enrich himself. I think the possibility of this happening is close to 0, everything I’ve seen and heard of Sam doesn’t make it seem like he’s someone who would do something like this.

That said we are right now 2-3 years away optimistically from such a chip being developed, it’s too early to level any conflict of interest allegations! As am ML practitioner I for one strongly welcome Sam Altmans Chip startup, just as I welcome MS building their own chip, Teslas Dojo, Google TPUs and anyone else who wants to challenge NVIDIA
that’s fine!
There are also plenty of charities that would benefit from your help. I used to volunteer to do IT work for the red cross.
Good question. Let's go ask our expert, an internet commenter who calls himself "John Galt", to step in with an opinion based solely on market value!
A few days ago there was a story about some lady creating a new kind of coat-hanger that you can fold so it takes up less space.[1] Pretty simple idea once you see the finished product, but getting all the details right so it actually works well isn't always easy, and it took her about three years(!) Presumably she wasn't working on it full-time for 3 years, but clearly a lot of effort went in to this "simple" idea.

But now that the idea is "out there" everyone can produce it, perhaps even cheaper. Actually, all other things being equal they will always be cheaper because they don't have three years of development costs.

Does this mean that selling these coat hangers is a "flawed business model" because cheap Chinese knock-offs can undercut her (small) business?

I know lots of people here don't have a lot of love for patents, and neither do I, but these kind of protections do exist for a reason. That doesn't mean I think that our current systems of patents is the best solution, but it also doesn't mean we shouldn't have any protections. And "be better at marketing" strikes me as a very poor answer.

My point here is that "produce something, but take a bit of protection against being exploited" is fairly reasonable in many cases. I also don't think it's "artificially" because under more traditional EULA-type software you're not allowed to do anything except "run it, but only in the way we want".

I have this sad realization that the current generation is taking the backlash to this too far, and as as a result people don't want to go anywhere that's too "touristy" as a result.

I get it.

I want the solo unique ethereal earth-changing experiences too. But I can also point to two distinct comparison points.

I got to have a fairly tourist-free experience in Angkor Wat. I intentionally travelled to Southeast Asia during the lowest time of the year - monsoon season. And I wound up in Siem Riep anand then Angkor in the middle of a rainstorm. Nobody was around. Yet the rain was warm. The temples were equally majestic. I had an incredible time feeling like I was actually exploring ancient undiscovered ruins by myself. Then the rain ended, and oh my, all those reflections. It was incredible.

This was 2008. I don't know if this is possible today even in the "lowest" tourist season. But that's not the point, the point is that while I do cherish the memories of this day, I got to have an exactly opposite experience at Taj Mahal.

By which i mean it was the HEIGHT of tourist season. I was in India for a Wedding and had no choice. It was hot. It was miserable. There were people everywhere.

AND YET. The Taj Mahal was absolutely magnificent. A true wonder of humanity and our history. An absolutely incredible experience, and watching how the changing evening light danced off the marble and evolved the building was mindblowing. It didn't matter that there were seemingly 20,000 other people there with me.

The democratization of travel is a good thing. That more and more people are exposed to other cultures and worlds is a good thing. That it inevitably brings photographers, instagrammers, influencers, and all the commercial activities associated with it are sad, but also ultimately worth it.

I say this on a macro humanist scale. I'm sure the locals at cities that live in those "tourist traps" would greatly disagree and are desperate for change. But I'm not writing this to them.

I'm writing this to folks on the internet that i know are out there that go "Ugh, I wish I could go see Angkor Wat/Taj Mahal/Leaning Tower of Pisa/Empire State Building, but I don't want to deal with the tens of thousands of tourists all taking the exact same picture."

Forget all that. Go. Go where you want to go. Don't let the presence of anyone else affect your experience.
It's not fraud if Sam's company delivered. Did they?
> No one is extracting nothing

Well, this is just objectively not true.

As for the rest of your comment, I guess we’ll just have to agree to disagree.
I don't disagree. It's just maybe they have something they haven't shared or maybe they don't. We don't know (yet).

These types of maps just show where people/tourists are which render them not that useful. It needs to be proportionate and comparative. E.g. normalised against daytime population, number of shops, restaurants or hotels so you can compare which similar areas do have more ATMs compared to other less "ugly" areas.

Comparing them against published population maps wont work because 1) those show where locals live 2) not where people go for entertainment and 3) tourists and hotels are not counted as population. Now, it will work if the aim is to go to quiet places with only locals and not much points of interest - I've tried this as a tourist strategy and ended up in an area surrounded by residential tower blocks and one basic cafe and a shop underneath.
If you publish a map or any means of sidestepping BIGTourism you will also surely bespoil the untainted.
Nah it’s still ‘just’ a game for me. It would have to be exceptionally immersive to trigger that response - the Walking Dead games by TellTale for instance, caught me off guard. I remember there was one big moral choice that I kind of just say and stared at the screen for what seemed like half an hour before I could finally make a decision for my character.

But a birds’ eye view of a somewhat sci fi RTS? So far removed from real life and practical considerations that it doesn’t even blip the radar for me.

Most Europeans are used to zero or low ATM fees, at least when no conversion is needed. Our banks don't tend to do the fee and reimbursement dance that I've heard American banks do.

That said, I've noticed that when I withdraw a non-euro currency, my own bank fee has been creeping up and is approaching the conversion rate and fee offered by the ATMs, so maybe I need to change my policy about that in the future.

What does this have to do with productivity tools? This is based on a university course that teaches you the fundamentals of deep learning. Of course it won't turn you into a ML/DL expert, that's not the point. Anyone completing this course on their own in their free time definitely has the internal drive that you say is lacking so I honestly don't get your comment at all.
thanks, I think that would make sense
A lot of people may be thinking of what exactly does a CTO do? Well, there is not one universal answer to that. What the CTO is doing heavily depends on the business and the size of the organization.

Also, every situation is different. Finding out what brings the most value to the business → that’s what the CTO should be focusing on.

Funny I had the opposite perspective - Euronet ATMs being a scam is a very EUROcentric view.

In America and Canada, ALL ATMs are scams with exorbitant fees except for the customers of the bank of that ATM.

The whole "Sorry, we're cash only, but there's an ATM in the back" is ubiquitous.

When I moved to Europe in the mid 2010s I was shocked that I could use my bank card to withdraw cash from any other bank without fees.
