"Social engineering" can be as simple as "pay people money to do things".

Of course you might answer "but we'd never be dumb enough to directly connect the AI to the internet", to which the answer is "we're doing it right now".
NO. we repeatedly deny what our neurons demand, E.G. lust, violence etc. Granted, we end up falling for these impulses many a times, but we also deny them many times. The former occurs more with those who identify themselves with their impulses (desires); as one evolves one's mind and intelligence, one is able to resist and have a much better control on these impulses.
AI as it stands only represents human brain; the mind is much bigger than brain with multitude of functions and don't get me started on consciousness, which is the chief ruler of all and beyond mind, space and time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S57DSgRWBRM
"Cries for attention"
They actually did, one of the approaches they tested included holding down combinations of keys for variable durations (the "Representation 4: Bitmask-Duration Sequence"), however they didn't get any viable runners using that approach. Their conclusion was that with the constraints they were operating under (ie. only 1,000 fitness evaluations etc), the solution space was too broad for that approach to find any viable strategies. Main takeaway for me was that this form of genetic algorithm works best & converges most quickly the simpler you can make the search space.
> And that, really, is the problem: the lack of due diligence means the rewards for bending or breaking the scientific rules tend to outweigh the incentives to observe them.

Well, change the reward:

> “publish or perish” culture that rates academics according to how often they are published and cited

Who is forcing the legions of supposedly very smart people to treat garbage volume like gold coins while overworking themselves into depression?
> I think the idea is that we willingly plug them in to critical systems, or everything really but including important infrastructure

Oh, OK. So an evil AI would conceal its capabilities and would play nice until it's put in charge of critical systems. I hadn't thought of that.

A more technical question for those of you working in AI: right now, are there any methods of - surveillance? - capable of monitoring/detecting emerging characteristic within an AI? how would you detect "evilness"? or "generosity"? or any other emotion/moral traits inside an AI?
Bluesky still has gated signups at this point so I don't think it will ever be a viable alternative.

Threads had a rushed rollout which resulted in major feature gaps that disincentivized users from doing anything beyond creating their profiles.

Notable figures and organizations have little reason to fully migrate off Twitter unless Musk irreversibly breaks the site and even he is not stupid enough to do that (yet?). So with most of its content creators still in place, Twitter has no risk of following the path of Digg.
That's why, when I need to be clear about it, I say spicy hot (because hot in itself is also rather ambiguous) and uses a lot of spices when describing something that is rather more flavorful.

English is just not very good at describing flavor. Looking at British food, there might never have been the necessity.

In German there's scharf (spicy) and pikant (slightly spicy). As well as würzig (spiced).
Meta Quest for Business now available
Ugh, I tried Bard too, but wasn't as impressed. Granted, I had a specific request with a stop-over for a couple of days, but it wasn't able to complete it, only the first leg. A follow-up question then prompted it a look-up a round trip flight for the 2nd leg.
The board couldn't even clearly articulate why they fired Sam in the first place. There was a departure from critical thinking but I don't think it was on the part of the employees.

One of the cool discoveries in Anthropic's approach to introspection by functional grouping of neural network nodes was that there was a series of nodes dedicated to firing when it was looking at a DNA sequence.
The kinds of mistakes an LLM makes aren’t nearly as bad as the kind of nonsense you can find humans saying, particularly in podcasts.
The core OS APIs still allow writing fast and snappy applications, but most apps nowadays are not written this way. Apps are using generic libraries that bring "the gorilla and the jungle" with them, browsers are relying on a JIT to draw their own UI, etc.
OpenAI Inc.'s mission in their filings:

"OpenAIs goal is to advance digital intelligence in the way that is most likely to benefit humanity as a whole, unconstrained by a need to generate financial return. We think that artificial intelligence technology will help shape the 21st century, and we want to help the world build safe AI technology and ensure that AI's benefits are as widely and evenly distributed as possible. Were trying to build AI as part of a larger community, and we want to openly share our plans and capabilities along the way."
Stupidity is defined as “having or showing a great lack of intelligence or common sense”. You can be extremely smart and still make up your own definitions for words.
I think it's important to be able to have a rough idea of how you'd be using this. If this drop in performance means I could use a cheaper drive, I'm all for it.

But some drives are truly awful. My work laptop came with a cheap Samsung drive that would quickly drop to around 200 MB/s. At first, I thought I had somehow badly configured Linux or something (I'm running zfs with native encryption).

Then I went and checked my desktop running quite worn-out SATA ssds from ~2012 (840 evo) and those drives would wipe the floor with the NVMe in write performance. They wouldn't go below 400 something MB/s until almost full. Same kernel version and zfs config.

It would seem that this is quite common behavior in cheap drives. But I guess that if all you do is browse the web, write mails in outlook and type the occasional word document, you're still ahead of spinning rust for the durability (it won't break if you drop your laptop) and for the latency.
Good, although D’Angelo shouldn’t be part of this. I bet he tries to get on the new board so he can cause more trouble.
>experience data corruption on crash / power loss

You mean on complete system crash, right? Your application crashing shouldn't lead to files being fulls of zeroes as long as you've already written everything out.
The more relevant part is probably "OpenAI’s mission is to ensure that AGI ... benefits all of humanity".

The statement "it would be consistent with the company mission to destroy the company" is correct. The word "would be" rather than "is" implies some condition, it doesn't have to apply to the current circumstances.

A hypothesis is that Sam was attempting to gain full control of the board by getting the majority, and therefore the current board would be unable to hold him accountable to follow the mission in the future. Therefore, the board may have considered it necessary to stop him in order to fulfill the mission. There's no hard evidence of that revealed yet though.
Really depends on where the car sells. In the EU, todays EVs probably have plenty of range. In the US, 300 miles is just not going to cut it for many people far too often.

Look at this comparison. And hour+ commutes are far from unheard of in the US. (Common within cities even due to traffic.)

Because we are 20 years away from fusion and 2 years away from Level 5 FSD for decades.

So far, "AI" writes better than some / most humans making stuff up in the process and creates digital art, and fakes, better and faster than humans. It still requires a human to trigger it to do so. And as long as glorified ML has no itent of its own, the risk to society through media and news and social media manipulation is far, far bigger than literal Skynet...
Won’t a superpowered rational machine be more “good” than us? Like, rational thinking and intelligence, in the limit, is fundamentally good. That’s what Spinoza argues in the Ethica

This has already happened. The human reaction to the spiritual successor to Dr Sbaitso has caused decision makers at multiple trillion dollar companies to radically alter their product roadmaps.
Quite often the person believes they are helping with their suggestions (or at least that's what I believe when I'm the one doing the suggesting). But there is certainly better and worse ways to make those sort of suggestions.

On the other hand, I quite often don't bother rounding the corners of boxes when working on a web UI until one of the last things. That way anyone who just wants to make their mark can just suggest rounding the corners :D
What lofty goals? The board was questioned repeatedly and never articulated clear reasoning for firing Altman and in the process lost the confidence of the employees hence the "rally". The lack of clarity was their undoing whether there would have been a bag for the employees to lose or not.
I guess there's an exception to every rule! Do you ever feel sleepy at all? I would wonder why someone would use melatonin if they didn't want to sleep, which suggests someone who isn't sleeping well, yet it had no effect. Extensive suggests it wasn't just one dodgy batch of melatonin either.

I hope you're sleeping well now regardless. Lack of good sleep is like slow torture.
I do not see an overwhelming groupthink. I see a perfectly rational (and not in any way evil) reaction to a complete mess created by the board.

Most are doing the work they love and four people almost destroy it and cannot even explain why they did it. If I were working at the company that did this I would sign, too. And follow through on the threat of leaving if it comes to that.
Or goes bankrupt.
Yes, I don't understand the modern trend towards utility classes. I wonder if many of the people who reinvent them were not around when HTML 4 was the markup language of the day and the <FONT> tag reigned supreme.
I would counter that it won’t see adoption in cars but will in heavy machinery. It’s a much better proposition for hauling huge loads than tonnes of batteries are (assuming you can’t use a train in the first place) or for things like large excavators. It also removes some of the need for regular filling stations along roads etc. if you can centre the infrastructure around where fleets are based and return to for more cargo.
Yes, especially as anyone who doesn't like the word penis definitely wouldn't want to read the article.
I have a high metabolism but a low desire to eat sometimes. I force myself to eat three meals a day. Could be a mental problem I don't know. But my point here was that I feel the complete opposite to this.
It doesn't even need to do that.

It's not saying "predictions, recommendations, and decisions". It's or.

So it just needs to recommend or decide based on any data (such as how many are left at this moment in a database) in a way that has real world outcomes (someone stocks a shelf).

A thermostat that turns on an HVAC unit after temperature drops below a reference point technically qualifies as AI based on this definition.

It's maybe a bit broad.
3.5 is a weak model that is only good at informal conversation. When people talk about using ChatGPT and its potential (programming, vision, etc.) they talk about GPT-4. If you don't want to pay, you should use Bing Chat for your comparison. 3.5 would not be worth $20 a month but GPT-4 is.
Then how did you determine it was fake?
In my opinion, MS will neuter this product too, there is no way they're just going to have the public accessing tools which make their own software and products obsolete.

They will take over the board, and then steer it in some weird dystopian direction.

Ilya knows that IMO, he was just more principled than Altman.
How do all the combustion-powered engines prevent their shutdown? Well, they were useful, so we adapted our society to rely on them -- anyone who didn't was outcompeted. Now we can't stop using them or the society falls apart.

This is not necessarily the mechanism most people consider, but it's a simple counterexample to "anything with an off switch can't be a threat to humanity".

So, according to what metric is Haskell "thriving"?
It was definitely LARP. The vast majority of anecdotes shared on Reddit originate as some form of creatice fiction writing exercise.
Yep, this ones going in my cringe compilation.
Would love to see a video of this ...
It's possible the big, chaotic blowup forced some conversations that were easier to avoid in the normal day-to-day, and those conversations led to some vital resolution of concerns.
I find the outcome very satisfying. The OpenAI API is here to stay and grow, and I can build software on top of it. Hopefully other players will open up their APIs soon as well, so that there is a reasonable choice.
Such a prediction requires a model of the underlying processes or at least distribution of values from observations.

The distribution of values in a dataset might suggest that the process producing these values does so in a manner consistent with e.g. a gaussian distribution with a given expectation value and standard variation.

Now if a particular value is observed, this model can be used to estimate the probability of that value occuring.

If it is also known how often these events happen per year then it's possible to say how many years of observation would be needed to observe such a value with probability of e.g. 50%, 95%, or whatever threshold you choose.
Think of corporations as analogue versions of digital AI. Instead of silicon the thinking is done by humans executing algorithms. How effective are humans at stopping the series of wars that are likely being triggered to the benefit of the US military industrial complex? The answer is not very. Disbanding a corporation is about as easy as turning off a computer; and yet here we are.

AI is the same, except there is less need for any human survivors on the other side of a conflict. It isn't the endgame yet, but if we don't need humans to do thinking jobs, humans are not so useful any more in wars any more (it seems to be missiles, drones and artillery that matter these days) and so it really comes down to the edge we have over machines in manual dexterity and labour tasks. Which is not nothing, but it is an edge that is plausibly overcome in a matter of decades. Then the future gets really difficult to predict.

Higher resolutions (and the accompanying resource sizes) would be hell for 32-bit OSes though.

Also, it’s kind of amazing that many web pages these days are larger than Doom shareware’s zip size.
In my use case I'm talking about arrays of them, think 8. RAID can parallelize platter really nicely in that configuration. But on modern ram/cpu (epyc 9654s), you'll still see the disk dragging you down. NVME drags me down more.

Maybe the key is a bunch of small ones. Like 20 512GB modules... That may be brilliant. It's way cheap
My 15-year old loves the Percy Jackson series, and he said that the audio conversation he had with ChatGPT was the first time he felt like like “someone” “got” Percy Jackson, in “real life.” Lots of airquotes there because there isn’t a someone, and ChatGPT doesn’t get it, and what is real even? But the conversation was so good that my 15-year is now totally creeped out by ChatGPT and refused to use it after that that 30 min conversation.

You take about low stakes but fiction is a massive industry. In making what is essentially Star Wars fanfic with ChatGPT, I’ve realized why AI was such a contentious point for the recent writers strikes.
> Fortunately, I think AGI isn't possible

"Fortunately"? That's a strange way to phrase that. Most people in 1928 thought that the repeat of the Great War isn't possible but it happened anyhow in just 10 years. Heck, nobody thought WWI, in the way it actually happened, could be possible! A world-wide war, in a globalized (yes, it was globalized about as much as in the 1990s) economy? A war where people would just keep dying on the field from both sides without any territorial advances, and keep doing this for years, and the involved countries mostly just waiting to see who will first run out of the resources (spoiler: Germany and Austria ran out first, because the US got involved), material and human? Nah, that's just un-scientific fantasy only some silly socialists like Wells could come up with.
There's no basis for models to be copyrightable that I can think of, licences on models are legal fictions for now until there's a new addition into copyright laws.

The thing that puzzles me is "why". What would be the purpose? How would "it" obtain a sense of "I" and a purpose to keep "I" alive and to do what? What would "it" be?
Don’t know the specifics but there is a lot of hostility in Venice towards boats that aren’t respectful of the canal system, where wake can cause a lot of annoyance / damage.
It just doesn't let you flip the switch, it takes over some military drone and sends a missile your way while you are running towards the switch. Or it bricks the access control mechanism on the doors to the data center it is running in. Or it makes a fake call to your phone, something happened to your child and you have to get to the hospital immediately and not flip some switch. IT blackmails you with something it learned about you by looking through your online activity. It threatens to fire a missile into some big crowed if it notices attempts to shut it down. Or maybe you actually manage to power down the data center only to find out that the AI copied itself to ten other data centers around the world.
Exactly this. Specialization is indeed a curse. We have seen it in lots of these folks especially engineers that flaunt their technical prowess but are extremely deficient in social skills and other basic soft skills or even understanding governance.

Engineer working at "INSERT BIG TECH COMPANY" is no guarantee or insight about critical thinking at another one. The control and power over OpenAI was always at Microsoft regardless of board seats and access. Sam was just a lieutenant of an AI division and the engineers were just following the money like a carrot on a stick.

Of course, the engineers don't care about power dynamics until their paper options are at risk. Then it becomes highly psychological and emotional for them and they feel powerless and can only follow the leader to safety.

The BOD (Board of Directors) with Adam D'Angelo (the one who likely instigated this) has shown to have taken unprecedented steps to remove board members and fire the CEO for very illogical and vague reasons. They already made their mark and the damage is already done.

Lets see if these engineers that signed up to this will learn from this theatrical lesson of how not to do governance and run an entire company into the ground with unspecified reasons.
Ads showing traffic jams could actually help promote large cars.

If it was a long crawl through a traffic jam every time I went to get groceries I'd be tempted to get a good sized garage ready freezer [1] and a larger car so I would only need to drive to the grocery store once or twice a month. There's a small grocery store within walking distance that is too expensive and doesn't have enough variety to be my main grocery store but would work for those things that won't keep for a month.

[1] A normal home freezer that is part of a fridge/freezer is typically is designed to work in a room around 55-110℉ (13-43℃) and a normal stand alone home freezer typically works down to 32℉ (0℃). A "garage ready" freezer is one designed to work when the room temperature is 0-110℉ (-18-43℃) so if you don't have room in the house you can put it in your garage.
If you're willing to accept text based output then Text adventure style games and even simulating bash was possible using chatgpt until openAI nerfed it.
It is difficult to all sides of the conflict to return to their homes while being dead.

This is why fuel should not be put in the fire of ethnic civil wars. By encouraging your party of preference to score a win you encourage the other party to stiffen their resistance, leading to massive casualties and no resolution. Because the only actual resolution would involve sides talking and making concessions, and you didn't want your preferred party to do that, because you decided they are right all around and so should just get what they want, in full.

What happened in Bosnia with Dayton agreements could still happen, just earlier and with way fewer deaths.
