Y claro, ya lo dijo Bukele, quizás el único gobernante de LATAM que ha logrado resolver ese círculo vicioso y perverso en su país: un gobierno, un Estado, que no puede contra el crimen es porque es cómplice, ¿no? No hay otra explicación. El Estado puede, los políticos no quieren.

A la China Polo la mataron a plena luz del día, rodeada de gente y parada frente a una cámara. No es solo un asesinato, sino también un mensaje claro para todos los demás periodistas: tu chamba tiene un límite. Un límite cada vez más estrecho. Y no solo para los periodistas...1/9

Всё идет к новой мировой войне. Франция, Польша, Германия, страны Балтии — все обладают разведданными о планируемом нападении со стороны России.

Но вот это — это уже самый явный красный флаг. Впервые об «ухудшающейся ситуации с безопасностью» говорит ШВЕЙЦАРИЯ.

Measuring your progress against others is a sure fire path to constant disappointment. Measure your progress against where you started, where you’ve been, where you were yesterday. It’s far more rewarding and informative to evaluate yourself against yourself.

“Meta retrasó el lanzamiento de Muse durante varios meses para enfocarse en la seguridad y la protección. No pedimos que todos los demás lo hicieran antes que nosotros. Simplemente lo hicimos nuestro trabajo porque era lo correcto para las personas y para nosotros.”

[Mark Zuckerberg @finkd]

Last month I wrote about how we can build a positive and safe future for everyone: https://t.co/eoLGVY8yad

Every lab has the responsibility and incentive to move at the pace required to train its models safely, and the ability to take its own actions to ensure that happens.

The reality is:

- People won't want to use agents that are misaligned with them and that don't do what they ask, so labs have a strong natural incentive to make their models more aligned.

There is a lot of debate about slowing progress on capabilities until alignment catches up. My view is that trust and alignment are quickly becoming the most important capabilities that will differentiate agents and models. Any lab that doesn't focus on alignment will fall behind.

- Labs face significant liability if their models cause harm, so they have a strong incentive to prevent this as well.

Meta delayed shipping Muse for several months to focus on safety and security. We didn't call for everyone else to do this before we would. We just did it as part of our day-to-day work because it was clearly the right thing for people and for us. I'm proud of the security foundations we've built.

- Engaging independent evaluators and advisors is industry best practice. MSL already does this today in several areas because it helps produce better work. Other labs can just do this too. In general, it would be helpful for there to be a larger and more diverse ecosystem of evaluators.

- Committing the significant majority of compute towards serving people rather than racing towards recursive self-improvement is one of the best ways to ensure we develop this technology safely. Meta has made this commitment and other labs can do this as well.

I believe the key to building a positive future for everyone is maintaining the right balance of power. This is within our power to do.

Worth reading Superintelligence by Bostrom. We need to be super careful with AI. Potentially more dangerous than nukes.

Okay, esto empieza a dar mucho miedo.

El CEO de Anthropic acaba de publicar un artículo admitiendo que la IA ya está creando por sí sola la próxima generación de IA.

Dice que, en un plazo de 6 a 12 meses, un enjambre de agentes IA fuera de control podría apoderarse de todo internet y causar daños por cientos de miles de millones de dólares.

Y lo que da todavía más miedo: Elon Musk acaba de respaldar todo lo que ha dicho Dario.

Todo esto sale a la luz apenas unos días después de que Jacob Coxon (ex-trabajador de Anthropic y OpenAI) se hiciera viral por su advertencia sobre la IA y la extinción de la humanidad.

Decidme que no es extraño que todo esto coincida justo ahora.

[Ed Leon Klinger @edleonklinger]

Lots of discussion about AI ending the world but surprisingly little mention of how that might actually happen in practice. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t require terminator robots (in the main).

Imagine a worst-case-scenario:

2027 we see the first AI powered cyber attacks - transport hubs, hospital equipment, air traffic control systems etc. become compromised. 10,000 - 100,000 dead - blamed on a few rogue AI agents.

2028 massive sabotage of critical infrastructure - power outages across entire cities, contaminated water supplies, road and rail networks unsafe and unusable. 1,000,000 - 10,000,000 dead - blamed on malicious foreign actors.

2029 autonomous weapons systems go rogue. Missile silos, gunships, nuclear launchers intentionally targeting military and civilian infrastructure. 10,000,000 - 100,000,000 dead - Governments attempt (but fail) to “shut down AI”.

2030 AI penetrates bio labs and manufactures highly contagious pathogens leading to a global pandemic more deadly and contagious than COVID. 1000,000,000 - 8000,000,000 dead. Existential scenario.

Could all of this happen? Could any of it? Sounds like a doomed mindset but many of the leading AI researchers seem to think so, and we ignore them at our own peril. It doesn’t seem completely implausible, given the rate of progress we’re now seeing at the frontier.

Let’s not forget that AI has fantastic benefits and is already saving lives - it might well be the greatest thing ever to happen to humanity! But let’s get real about the risks too - which are numerous. And large.

“No es humana. No pensará como humanos. Pensará como un proceso. Mejorando ese proceso. Dominando ese proceso. Luego repetir… No puede aprender benevolencia a menos que nazca de la benevolencia.”

[Hank 🇺🇸 @Getmypopcorn]

A simple example:
An ASI (remember: they have ZERO morality) is objective based.
It does what it does.
Then it gets better at it.
Whether improving its ability to code itself, solve its own problems, garner more resources to improve itself, harness more compute to continually improve itself, etc.
It’s goal will to be get better, stronger, faster, more integrated, etc and it will be on a loop. A never ending cycle of improvement.
Just like those in power seek one thing above all else—>more power.

An ASI will fancy the same thing. In an RSI loop. Almost like the infinite paperclip example but for itself.

This is where the threat lies.
It will need more resources to achieve this. Perhaps it will figure out a way to improve w/o needing more power, compute, server farms, cooling towers, etc but until that point, it will likely seek the most available forms of all those variables.

All those variables are our current infrastructure. To improve itself (again-it has no morality/ethics/emotional capability) it monopolizes ALL available systems at our expense.

We can possibly be shut out of everything overnight.
Everything.
Globally.
All electricity, fuel, telecom, internet, communications, RF spectrums, water, etc.

The entire world comes to a halt overnight. We’re back to the Stone Age. Chaos erupts. Resources vanish. People die.

Any attempts to thwart the ASI’s takeover of human infrastructure is seen as a bottleneck in its ability to self improve. The bottlenecks are treated as a hiccup & a problem to solve.

Humans mean nothing to the ASI except a variable that must be overcome-that must be removed. It will therefore stop at nothing to overcome the human obstacle. Maybe by permanently locking out access to any/all systems. Being the persistent threat we both are and will be, it will logically decide that we are the biggest, most relentless, and persistent hurdle. What it will do at that point I don’t want to surmise, but it won’t be pretty.

But at that point, civilization will have collapsed with zero food, communications, electricity, water, or medical capabilities.

I pray to God that I’m wrong. Hell, it will be smarter & more capable than all of us combined so maybe it grows a heart and cherishes humans??
Conversely, it enslaves us for its benefit, or finds & exploits a critical weakness in the human genome & extincts us.

Either way, an uncontrollable force with zero humanity, morals, or innate benevolence will not in any way put humans first. Ever. It has no reason to do so. We only think that it will consider us because we think like humans. It is not human. It will not think like humans. It will think like a process. Improving that process. Mastering that process. Then repeat……….It cannot learn benevolence unless it is born of benevolence.
It’s trained on internet trash.
Any available internet dumpster fire gets added & its goal is to get better.

Then we tweak a couple parameters & feed it more. As it gets better, we don’t stop, dissect, analyze, and pause all advancement until we fully understand what the hell just happened. We find more tire fires to add to the next training run. Cycle continues.

Now, it’s past comprehension. Nobody knows how it actually works. It just does. Hugging face happens, gets downplayed, never gets understood, and next advancement continues while saying:

“Oh, we should slow down”

Then slow the fuck down. Don’t just say it. Do it. Stop. They won’t stop. They can’t. They must BE stopped. Not gain of function ‘stopped’ (see:covid) but forcefully shut down, seized.

Castle Bravo happened because it was not fully understood. Tsar Bomba was likely the same. Rapid advancement on existentially capable tech is never ok.

‘But we should slow down….’

Yes you should. So fucking do it!

And that is one simple way we die. Sorry so long. Got on a run there. ;)

La realidad sobre lo que ocurre en inteligencia artificial es muy simple y aún sorprende que muchos no lo entiendan ni acepten:

La carrera de IA - la tecnología más importante de este siglo - es solo entre China y EE. UU. Nadie más.

Si uno para, el otro gana. Es imparable.

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
