Sharing a thoughtful LessWrong piece by my colleague @darin_tsui on AI as biology’s digital microscope: how mechanistic interpretability can help turn biological AI models from black boxes into tools for discovery:

Current AI models have been built around intelligence but are still not fully value aligned; deception and selfish non-cooperative behaviours in AI Agents can potentially be handled by training or aligning explicitly for values.

Intelligence without values can cause havoc;
Imagine intelligence as a hammer,
which when applied in correct directions builds, otherwise destroys.
In a week I'm flying to Berkeley for a #MachineConsciousness conference (´#MC0001´ by @CIMCAI), then stay a month in a Buddhist retreat there, attending also #LessWrong's LessOnline festival in Lightaven (also the Summer Camp and Manifest after).
Anyone around (even LA and such), if you want me to buy you coffee/lunch/beer, I'm happy to drop by and chat:) happy for any tips also!
@SpencrGreenberg For me the question is more the opposite: What interesting essays are from major media? I'm mostly reading independent authors eg @paulg, @slatestarcodex, @robinhanson, and #Lesswrong and my Anki deck has most insights from there. But there are a few mainstream - see thread.
On @ylecun saying who to listen to about #jobs - he and they / them imho are ALL more wrong than necessary. The less wrong blog folks are #lesswrong than most. That said, I too could be wronger than usual. And excuse my typos. Thank you. This concludes my two-bits-in on a difficult but fascinating topic.

By-hand posts fail #lesswrong moderation twice in a row. No constructive feedback, just “we don’t like llm content” without explanation. Seems like well-kept gardens either die by pacifism or live long enough to become an echochamber. Didn’t expect them being irrationally biased
Mükemmel olmak mümkün değil. Asıl mesele, düne göre daha az yanlış olmak. Hayatındaki küçük hataları bile elediğinde, daha iyiye doğru bir adım daha atmış olursun. #lesswrong
