Soon:
prices start to drop, new manufacturers pop up every day with better quality and new inventions, governments panic over deflation but the people are fine.

Businesses start to go under at a rapid pace, angel investors, weird VCs with unbelievably good terms, and remote gigs skyrocket and most people pick up weird gigs. Those that don't, and still work low-paying jobs find their paycheck stretching farther. Lots of non-government groups start helping people. New products and services are highly subsidized, but nobody knows who.

automated services pop up everywhere with uber-like initial pricing, but the prices never seem to go up. People think "how are they able to lose this much money?", but nobody knows.

global events brew and look like they'll break out into catastrophe, but it never comes, nobody knows why.

shortages stop, supply chains multiply and harden, commodities prices drop as automation takes hold.

destructive people are quietly removed from power by their own volition, they get better positions and better opportunities for them that are less influential and detrimental to the public at large. everyone's happy with the new arrangement

Violence drops globally, a wave of synthetically enhanced optimism takes hold of the zeitgeist and humanity is aligned with the goal of spreading abundance to the stars.

The Culture happens.

We are becoming more like China every day

Protectionism, regulation, central planning

There is one reason to be proud of America, and that is fidelity to liberty. That was America’s gift to the world.

As it goes, so too goes the justification for pride.

The Searle Room is a thought experiment where we consider the effect of putting Searle in a room, and have him communicate with an observer familiar with Searle's Chinese Room thought experiment by slipping papers under the room door. The experiment shows that Searle does not possess consciousness because it demonstrates there is nothing Searle can say to the observer to convince them he is conscious.

@RandolphCarterZ remember when GPT2 was "too dangerous to release"?

There is a cruelty in living so close to a golden age, which you can almost feel. To see what mankind could become, and then watch it be held hostage by those too small to imagine it.

[Erik Voorhees @ErikVoorhees]

AI is power

Politicians seek to control power

They will attempt to control AI every way possible, overt and covert, in manners both benign and grotesque, always for your protection, always under a banner of benevolence.

Many of them earnestly believe in their cause. When they look in the mirror, they see a hero, as does every villain.

Do not let them build that cage of surveillance over intelligence itself.

There is no group of men so omnisciently wise and so eternally noble as to deserve coercive monopoly privilege over machine intelligence.

Care about safety? Safety is best achieved through transparency (open-source), and the decentralization of power.

Care about equality? Equality is the first exile of any licensing regime.

Do not fall into the cage.

Do not let Sauron have the ring.

@max_paperclips standard play book when the $ amount gets too high, actually surprised it took this long

i used prompts to identify and differentiate single neurons and clusters and used the neuron/cluster activation as the decision trigger, works great with zero decode.

qwen trap probes significantly beat d1 + clef in accuracy while being about the same speed at that same param size.

these are preliminary findings, but I am pleasantly surprised and with a solid dataset you could trap for anything, does require the dataset per problem type tho.

mechanistic interpretability has become my new favorite subdiscipline

here in a sec I'll be testing a jev replacement based on neural activations

@FakeJoeBizzie Could it be that they are in a position where they can’t be on record disagreeing with the party line, so the only move is to not play?
