@JohnG1771738058@NickAintWhite@MMAJOEYC Reporter meaning one who reports something. Here, he is reporting something dishonestly, therefore he’s a dishonest reporter. It doesn’t mean he must wear a suit and tie and work for CBS news. Also, the “dishonest” part is more important than the “reporter” part, no?
@MasterC2222 While I agree with you, I don’t understand why you quote tweeted Sean Strickland—isn’t he agreeing with you here? Or am I misunderstanding his post? To me it sounded like Strickland was blaming the male pilot.
@Mine_196773@elonmusk@broudsov “Calculations, data, and evidence” are more so what we expect from scientists, since it is their job to produce these things. Ultimately, what we expect most from engineers are *results*—that the things they design work, reliably and well.
@int0x80h@liron@MalwareTechBlog Even if your underlying claim is correct, I don’t think “these people don’t understand ML” is a reasonable explanation, since many of the “just keep extrapolating” people are elite, world-class ML engineers and researchers who work at the top AI labs.
@EvanThomasLuke@liron@MalwareTechBlog You may be right about this, but I actually don’t think their issue is that they’re not able to extrapolate trends. I’m sure Marcus is very smart and has the ability to extrapolate—I just think ppl in this camp have emotional reasons to dismiss or deny claims such as Liron’s.
@pileofrocks3@Scopuli@liron@MalwareTechBlog He wasn’t talking in circles at all. He made linear arguments with a beginning, middle, and end, even if you disagree with those arguments and even if Liron is in fact wrong about everything.
@knowclarified@RokoMijic Because it’s a network, every single node doesn’t need to be compromised. The very thing that makes a network efficient and useful also makes it easier to compromise if you can attack highly connected, important nodes. Which does seem fairly realistic IMO.
@OneSmallVoice9@fem_mb That is all completely irrelevant. The question is a thought experiment w/ a very specific goal: to make someone decide whether the 1,000 rioters' lives are worth more or less than the artifacts inside the Louvre. You are simply not engaging w/ the thought experiment.
@TokenGremlin Always glad to hear that any AI lab is taking safety more seriously--but if I'm being honest, 10% of the company's compute doesn't sound like an "enormous investment." Given the direness of the situation, it'd be nice to see *at least* 50%, and at all the major labs.
@hopes_revenge@xav_moss He wasn’t joking at all, and it’s very clear that he wasn’t being serious—especially if you read the follow-up posts that he wrote, which explain and defend his position further, in totally serious terms.
@dankuntz@hopes_revenge@xav_moss He’s not making a joke. He wrote several more posts after that first one that very clearly lay out his position and seek to defend it.
@hhjacks@Shaughnessy119@arrington This is misunderstanding what “evil” means. An evil person can no more harness their evil for good than a good, benevolent person can harness their goodness for evil purposes. Evil is about intention, so I don’t really see how or why an evil person would harness it to do good.
@BicycleSocials@tenobrus “It’s not clear Brangys is not simply repeating the very error that prompted the realization in the first place” <— This is exactly what I thought was likely happening when I read Brangus’ post.
