@sama It’s great. I was surprised to be honest. Did not expect GPT to perform that well on code.

3.9k devs will lose their job and not even see it coming :D
Too much cope…

@zeeg I don’t understand what you are trying to say. That it is not conscious and doesn’t experience „knowing“ or „understanding“? If so, my question is: so what?

[Denis Golovin @backendguy]

@franceonu * additional terms and conditions apply 😂

@liron Liron, you had many discussions with intelligent people who question LLMs’ reasoning capabilities: do they have an underlying reason for this claim except for “it’s just statistics”? Ego? What’s your take?

[Denis Golovin @backendguy]

@LukeDashjr @Aquinas_Quotes Do you have an example for a theological claim that explains a known truth? Preferably a known truth where the theological claim is the most reasonable (in your opinion) explanation

[Denis Golovin @backendguy]

@LukeDashjr @Aquinas_Quotes How do you test and reproduce hypotheses in this framework?

@PeterDiamandis Halting problem

Two questions for Eliezer:
1. What is his take on the ChatGPT-psychosis topic? To whom is this happening and why? Apparently he was looking into this + received many privat massages in this topic.

2. Classic: what are events looming on the horizon that will update his p-doom either way?

@AspexPhoto @liron why would it do it? honest question, I have no intuition for either outcome. predictions about actions on this level seem to require some elaborate insights into the space of ASI behaviors.

[Denis Golovin @backendguy]

If @tegmark is right and every possible mathematical structure is part of reality, building ASI is like inviting aliens over to earth

self-preservation is a bit loaded but the bottom line stays the same: these results indicate that instrumental convergence in general are a thing and that self-preservation (or however one wants to call it) is a particular instance of an instrumental goal that AIs adopt. What’s the state on the orthogonality thesis?

Meanwhile people trying to numb their emptiness with irrational consumption

[Denis Golovin @backendguy]

@the_yanco @ESYudkowsky Thx for sharing. It is crazy to see proper quantitative (and high) values for this. What is the takeaway here? Appears to be strong indication for the existence of a self preservation (sub-)goal. And in turn for the existence of some terminal goals.
