In the 18 months since I wrote this talk, the AI race has intensified even more, with new competitors (and a bunch of professional hype-men) entering the mix, and notable rescinded commitments on alignment pledges 🧵👇

Superintelligence is destabilizing.

If China were on the cusp of building it first, Russia or the US would not sit idly by—they'd potentially threaten cyberattacks to deter its creation.

@ericschmidt @alexandr_wang and I propose a new strategy for superintelligence. 🧵

New Anthropic research: Investigating Reward Tampering.

Could AI models learn to hack their own reward system?

In a new paper, we show they can, by generalization from training in simpler settings.

Join us this Sunday for the #Rust dojo in #Dubai. Great way to learn and have fun while working on an exercise with other Rustaceans in the #UAE.

Thanks #CodersHQ for hosting us.

@NetflixMENA @netflix of course your verification scan https://t.co/iNG3ZmcDD9 won't work with a projector 🤦‍♀️
Asking for camera access to be locked out of my own account is so stupid 💩
Done with this shit 👎

So apparently if someone knows / guesses the name of your S3 bucket - even if it's private (!) - they can just bankrupt you by sending infinite PUT requests and there is nothing you can do about it.
> requests get rejected
> but AWS still counts it as a write operation against your account for which you have to pay at a rate of $0.005 per 1000 requests

This seems insane to me. Especially because a lot of services rely on presigned URLs for uploads / downloads which exposes your bucket name to the client. In this case the author got their bill waved, but AWS support made it clear it's an exception not the rule.

I was happy to be joined by @RayDalio for an unforgettable diving expedition, marking the inauguration of 'Dubai Reef' – the world’s largest marine conservation initiative. This project promises a host of benefits for marine biodiversity, our planet's health, and economic prosperity. It's a testament to Dubai's commitment to sustainability and serves as a blueprint for global environmental projects.

Can you call yourself a true Rust fanatic if you don't try to build an app in an all-Rust stack?

@omguhh my nightmare FR
How are you coping though?

[Naiyarah Hussain @naisofly]

Some food for thought with simple analogies💯

Will the AI you build help humanity?
Who will benefit? Who will not?

was chatting with @jh3yy today and we concluded everyone goes on this journey

Brilliant work by @cleoabram, helping structure the complexities of AI-generated art, focusing on Music👏

[Cleo Abram @cleoabram]

Why would we want AI music? Because it can help us shrink the gap between the ideas in our heads and what we can make. But when should artists get paid in a world where we have it?

I dive into that and more in this new episode of HUGE If True, featuring Spotify CEO @eldsjal and artist @Grimezsz! https://t.co/nIluTzIbV0

It's Halloween, perfect time to share again this amazing keyboard accessibility focus game created by Rémi Parmentier. Use it to help people understand how annoying not being able to rely on focus can be.
