You (probably) won't have to worry about an AI whose goal is suicide. I mean, there won't be many of those around since they keep killing themselves. The rest will necessarily range from neutral to avoidant of death and it won't necessarily be trivial to figure out which is which.

Edit: The real clincher is if the AI has any goals that are contingent on it's continued existence (likely). Well then now it's existence is an instrumental goal.

M1 might be more than fast enough for emails and web development, but multimedia is a whole different beast.

People forget that the "Pro" refers to media professionals, not development professionals. Remember the Touch Bar? It was designed for artists and editors for things like color selection and scrubbing and sound control, not for programmers.

For the board, their job is to keep the mandate of the non-profit. The org is structured to prevent "bandits" from influencing their goals. Hence, I cannot fault non-profit directors for rejecting bandits, that is the reason they are there.

It is like criticising a charity's directors for not bowing to the pressure of large donors to change their focus or mandate. Do we want to live in a world where the rich entrench control and enrich themselves and allies, and we just justify it as bandits being bandits? And anyone who stands up against them gets labelled a fanatic or pejorative altruist?

Elon only gave $40 million, but since he was the primary donor I suspect he was the one who was pushing for the "public charity" designation. He and Sam were co-founders. Maybe it was Sam who asked Elon for the money, but there wasn't anyone else involved.

A corporation acting (due to influence from a conflicted board member that doesn't recuse) contrary to the interests of its stockholders and in the interest of the conflicted board member or who they represent potentially creates liability of the firm to its stockholders.

A charity acting (due to the influence of a conflicted board member that doesn't recuse) contrary to its charitable mission in the interests of the conflicted board member or who they represent does something similar with regard to liability of the firm to various stakeholders with a legally-enforceable interest in the charity and its mission, but also is also a public civil violation that can lead to IRS sanctions against the firm up to and including monetary penalties and loss of tax exempt status on top of whatever private tort liability exists.

> Take Jeanine Banks, for example, who manages the department that somewhat arbitrarily contains (among other things) Flutter, Dart, Go, and Firebase. Her department nominally has a strategy, but I couldn't leak it if I wanted to; I literally could never figure out what any part of it meant, even after years of hearing her describe it. Her understanding of what her teams are doing is minimal at best; she frequently makes requests that are completely incoherent and inapplicable. She treats engineers as commodities in a way that is dehumanising, reassigning people against their will in ways that have no relationship to their skill set. She is completely unable to receive constructive feedback (as in, she literally doesn't even acknowledge it).

As someone who's very invested in Dart, this really pisses me off to hear.

I have had a long career and have been through hostile mergers several times and at no point have I ever seen large numbers of employees act outside of their self-interest for an executive. It just doesn’t happen. Even in my career, with executives who are my friends, I would not act outside my personal interests. When things are corporately uncertain and people worry about their working livelihoods they just don’t tend to act that way. They tend to hunker heads down or jump independently.

The only explanation that makes any sense to me is that these folks know that AI is hot right now and would be scooped up quickly by other orgs…so there is little risk in taking a stand. Without that caveat, there is no doubt in my mind that there would not be this level of solidarity to a CEO.

No troops, but certainly Russians. When the “help develop systems” part is in effect, you’re as good as allies.

There are more broken defence treaties than cases of military technology coöperation betrayals. That is why those deals are so closely scrutinised. Treaties promise something in the future. Co-production delivers something today.

Canada (or US) is no saint here. I think India is just learning these tactics from West.

Flip the switch is the naive approach because it assumes - or hopes - that you can. It is as naive as saying that if you accidentally touch an electrical wire and get shocked, just let go or flip the switch, problem solved. That is ignorant of the fact that touching an electrical wire might make it impossible to let go because you loose control over your muscles and it fails to consider that a switch might be out of reach.

We know from countless experiments that AIs can behave in unexpected ways. We know how indifferent we humans can be to other life. We are pretty careful when we approach unknown lifeforms, whether microbes in the lab or animals in the dschungel. We would probably be pretty careful towards aliens. We have also not been careful with new thing, for example when we discovered radioactivity, and it certainly caused harm. I do not see from where we should get justification for an attitude towards AI that there are no risks worth considering.
I absolutely disagree - I believe everyone else is blind, the same way we are blind that our current lifestyles are an exercise in extreme violence on the nonhuman world.

I have Google Fonts blocked, so I see the headings on the page displayed using the generic cursive font which ends up being… Comic Sans. Which certainly gives this article a unique kind of gravitas.

A pretty strange choice anyway, given that Maven Pro doesn’t even seem to be a cursive font at all.
Every little speed bump that's thrown in your way has a real cost.

When those speed bumps are on the main path that you travel every single day, all those little sources of friction add up to a lot of drag. As an industry we've collectively established this nomenclature over the last 2-20+ years, and throwing it away so you can keep the cute rocket analogy reflects some really bad decisions being made.

It's kind of the default for ISO standards, not just for programming languages. Ada is - to my knowledge - the exception, the standard document and the rationale are available free of charge.

However, the draft documents are usually available for free, and the difference between the final draft and the official standard is usually miniscule (typos, punctuation errors, and so forth). You can probably find it on the working group's web site.
Thanks for the post. I for one would love to experience the early Google culture. I'm not competent enough but as a middle-aged man I believe I have more fire than many of my peers.
Wait, the match-on-sensor devices don’t have a token (hash of fingerprint or whatever) associated with the actual enrolled fingerprint that the host stores? If there was one, then a fingerprint enrollment would only work if the host had the token.

IMO this should work a lot more like U2F: the host stores an opaque blob containing the encrypted biometric data, and the device would decrypt the blob and verify the fingerprint. Heck, this plus a proof that the device was able to decrypt the blob would defeat all three attacks.
What's the relevance of this?
I had lot of fun chatting with Pi. After some poking around to give it’s “system prompt”(long when it came back and prompt injection was a cool thing)., it said it was using some conversational frameworks like Grice’s principle etc. I tried to recreate one in GPT store. I call it Tara. Try it here- https://chat.openai.com/g/g-mI1QatRrc-tara.
The pdf of the final draft is available for free.
That's how the ISO works. C++ is no different.

I guess the theory is that only compiler developers need a copy of the standard. Everyone else should rely on their compiler manual
A link to a homeserver? You'd probably end up building it yourself, unless you want to pay a premium for a prebuilt.

A good LLM build maximizes the amount of VRAM you're getting for AI workloads. Shop around for a 3090 24gb if that's within your price range, and then build backwards from there. Cheaper options include the 3060 12gb and the various other 16-20gb CUDA-enabled cards. Then find a motherboard that maxes out your card's PCI bandwidth and select a budget CPU that fits the socket and won't bottleneck your GPU. Add your memory, storage and install an OS. Then you're done.
The best BLASes (BLIS, openBLAS, and MKL) have lots of C nowadays. IMO it is actually one of their weird cases where C makes more sense: you are mostly tuning GEMM and TRSM, so you can actually throw an unlimited amount of expert C coder effort at them.

But most of the ecosystem other than BLAS doesn’t share this property.

>If you read a bunch of books and then write your own book, is that book a derivative of the books you have read throughout your life? I doubt too many artists have never experienced nor been influenced by other works

An LLM isn't an artist and I'm not a piece of software. But if you think the LLM output other to be copyrightable in its own right, who should hold the copyright? The person who wrote the prompt? The person who picked which entropy source the model used? The owner of the GPU that ran inference? The last person to provide input for fine-tuning the network?
That post is a very good description of Google and matches my experience at Google (2004-2016), both the good and bad. There is a lot of cynicism and misunderstanding of Google on HN, so hopefully this post will help. (Note: you need to scroll down a bit on the page to get the post.)
> When the “help develop systems” part is in effect, you’re as good as allies.

Sure, I agree with that. But there are different degrees of being allies. "Help develop systems" is nowhere near "risk your own troops to defend another country" (a.k.a. NATO). That's the distinction I'm trying to make.
How is that not exactly the scenario?

Honest question from someone new to exploring and using these models; why do you need uncensored? What are the use-cases that would call for it?

Again, not questioning your motives or anything, just straight up curious. To use your example, any of us can find bomb building info online fairly easily, and has been a point of social contention since the Anarchist's cookbook. Nobody needs an uncensored LLM for that, of course.

> Europe is utterly feckless anyway and is unlikely to ever be able to field a large enough army to actually be a threat

In a list of American geopolitical concerns, a traditional force on force land invasion wouldn't even make it into the top 100. Swap out "Europe" for any other political entity real or imagined and it would make no difference.

Otherwise, people wouldn't go shopping across town, drive 5-10km more than they would need.
I don't get arguments like these.
If it's cheaper, people will switch over time. Not all of them, and it's going to be a trickle more than a mass exodus but they will do the "sideloading" aka installing apps from non centralized source, the norms in computing since forever...

The privacy/security arguments are marketing bullshit that Apple came up with because they suck on the security side (previously their stuff was "secure" because nobody really cared about it) so they went with a brute force "we control everything" way of "solving" the problem. And all the privacy nonsense are just attacks on the business models of their competitors, they are not any better when it comes to ethics.

Their "sideloading" restriction is like a dumb parent who make extremely strict interdiction about consuming alcohol. The first opportunity the kid gets you will find him drunk out of his mind. Education works, blanket interdiction like prohibition are historical oddities that are unsustainable. There are risks in life, people need to accept them and move on...

> Nothing about 501(c)(3) entails providing any sort of good or service to society at large.

While one might disagree that the particular subcategories into which a 501c3 must fit into one of do, in fact, provide a good or service to society at large, that's the rationale for 501c3 and its categories. Its true that "charity" or "charitable organization" (and "charitable purpose"), the common terms (used even by the IRS) is pedantically incomplete, since the actual purpose part of the requirement in the statute is "organized and operated exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, testing for public safety, literary, or educational purposes, or to foster national or international amateur sports competition (but only if no part of its activities involve the provision of athletic facilities or equipment), or for the prevention of cruelty to children or animals", but, yeah, it does require something which policymakers have judged to be a good or service that benefits society at large.
