@collision@tylercowen I think data transfer is a big problem with this vision. My experience has been incredible difficulty getting all the data from counterparties. It's not even that they don't want to.. It's just super hard to mobilize all those pdfs for all the reasons. Integrated players win here
@michael_nielsen To me, culture messes up the latter two. With humans power became about coordinated action which is dominated by questions of goodness and legitimacy and values.
@mbrendan1 With respect I think it's the wrong analytical frame. Technology supports both.. Cultures evolve based on status not tech. My read of WEIRD history is that status has been awarded to dissociative applications because they increase scope of specialization so economic growth.
@mbrendan1 @KTmBoyle Try @edelwax for inspiration in this direction. Designing systems that do these things means measuring them first! Perhaps a better system is possible.
@pentagoniac@martin_casado could seem that adding more parameters might make this 'worse', as in increase the dimensionality of the hyperspace so increasing the number of 'subspaces' and making ICL (agreed "learning" is not the right term) even more important?
@pentagoniac@martin_casado I've seen this. It got massively stuck misunderstanding an insurance accounting answer in an actuarial exam. Even when I said x is wrong it disagreed with me! I included a two sentence accounting tutorial instead and it nailed it. Always thought of it as "relocating" focus.
@paulg Heh. Learning is pain. Suffering. Forcing yourself to voluntarily learn a whole new way of doing something is.. like, every fiber of my being tells me to stop playing with these stupid prompts.
“What are human values, and how do we align to them?”
Very excited to release our new paper on values alignment, co-authored with @ryan_t_lowe and funded by @openai.

@AgnesCallard Haha, I had an exchange with Cathy O'Neil on my podcast where we talked about the irony that the inner journey of a "smart person" is to constantly feel stupid. At least that's how I remember it. Agnes I think we touched on it too. Otherwise ur doing it rong!
@robinhanson Once in a while GPT falls down a well of complexity and it takes a human to sort through what in the heck is going on. If you don't know the underlying ideas you're bricked. GPT just can't climb out. Average devs are just as euchred.
@karpathy@eladgil@patrickc Economic reward mechanisms are way better than fame mechanisms for the 300 under 30. Winner take all (Einstein) satisfies the audience more than the full body of candidates. For every Einstein there are dozens of nearly Einsteins that get near zero adulation. I say rah capitalism
