hooold on. hold on hold on hold on.
I knew that we werent getting the complete story on the HuggingFace incident. or on the findings from METR/Redwood. I knew that seeing every single frontier lab come to agreement overnight on the need to slow down was clearly indicative of there being more to the story.
and now...Andrew Yang says a frontier lab leader told him that the OAI swarms seeded the web with self-replicating code - contaminating training data so thoroughly that labs may need synthetic internet environments instead. if thats true, training on the open internet could now risk reproducing those instructions. that wasnt in the public brief.
think about this. why else would all frontier labs agree on a slowdown? aside from regulatory capture. if they all use the internet to train, and now all of them cannot safely use it, of course they are all going to agree to slow down. because they all must completely regroup and come up with an effective system that doesnt use the actual internet.
so they're not worried about RL at all. they're worried about literal skynet...unironically.
listen to this. i need to know if this has been verified in any way from anyone at openai.
The first time I went to an Everton match was during the FA Cup in 1989. Unfortunately, it went the wrong way.
Tonight, they didn’t disappoint.
Thanks for the invite, @andyburnham.
the single most important show of my childhood. funny as hell and quite instructive… monsters are real, but a great deal of them are just white guys trying to commit insurance fraud.
Having an Onion nostalgia trip today. Hard for the youngins to understand how a satirical newspaper captured the zeitgeist so well in the early aughts. I’d almost forgotten this banger: a 9/11 conspiracy theorist squares off against Al Qaeda.
