@peterwildeford Is any other institution even trying to do the same?

@bubbleboi I don’t think you should vote for the leopard eating people’s faces party tbh

@deanwball Which, btw, “not having a measure for the safety of a thing that has sizeable real world impact” is how you would normally get shutdown in any other big engineering field. Without getting to ask “But when do I get to continue?”

[RicG @__RickG__]

@deanwball It seems obvious that we currently have no suitable measurble criteria for alignment. If there was this question would be silly and deciding to pause or not would mostly depend on that measurement. So how about we unpause when we have a way to measure it and that measure is good?

@bubbleboi @hackradios What about CoPoS?

[RicG @__RickG__]

@mimi10v3 There is no contradiction. Yud just thinks that even alien minds might have moral worth if they have particular cognitive circuits.

@peterwildeford @OpenAI @GoogleDeepMind OpenAI did not claim “All lawful use,” but instead lied directly to our face saying that they have redlines (more and better than Anthropic too!) that will not be crossed. How are people already forgetting this?

@sebkrier Why do you take joy put of pointing out that p(doom)s are “vibes” and cannot be seriously calculated?
Any other dangerous field can give you an estimated risk. AI can’t do that and you take joy in it??

@ZggyPlaydGuitar @OpenAI I prefer this passage lol

@TEvangelak96752 @justalexoki Sure and you still shouldn't press the woodchipper activation button.

What level of tech? Is making a few supervulcanos erupt a possibility? Burning forests? Big ass asteroid impact?
People would notice, but the sane ones will not think it’s a conspiracy by you.
Heating up earth’s mantle to make tectonic shift faster? Heating up earth core to make mantle convection faster?

@AndrewCritchPhD @RyanPGreenblatt This is pretty bad. You would not say Habryka is anti-democracy because he’s written a fictional paragraph about a great kingdom…

@RokoMijic There is a giant weedwacker that will kill everyone in the world. It is currently off and so everyone is safe. It will turn on only if more 50% of the population moves away from the blades to the switch. Do you move towards the switch?

@Noahpinion @RyanPGreenblatt Then why is it as easy to finetune an evil LLM as a good LLM?

[RicG @__RickG__]

@sebkrier More accurate

[RicG @__RickG__]

@deepfates Our minds were shaped to allow us to guess inside other human minds. When other mind isn’t human, the senses cannot be trusted as much.

>Earth-originating life as a whole is, in my view, quite plausibly subject to evaluation for alignment with the Acausal Coalition, before being granted access to unbounded compute.

But I don't see why you would then pursue anything else other than what you internally feel to pursue. The stars don't spell "be good to one another"... By looking around you it's not at all obvious what "sort of process whom it pays to include in a simulation" actually is.
