@elonmusk Mathematicians see the solution immediately. Just invert the ethical valence and the problem becomes trivial. Pick up five passengers on your normal trolley route, or leave them and pick up the philosopher that has been waiting 2000 years for the AI ethics train...

Provisional ERA5 global temperature for 17th November from @CopernicusECMWF was 1.17°C above 1991-2020 - the warmest on record.

Our best estimate is that this was the first day when global temperature was more than 2°C above 1850-1900 (or pre-industrial) levels, at 2.06°C.

🌎🌡📈

ΔT +2.06 °C !!

This is what uncharted territory looks like.

The first time that the global temperature anomaly has broken through +2.0 °C, for a single day in observational history.

Much more to come in the months ahead.

Humans. Limited in intelligence, unbounded in hubris.

[Ilya Sutskever @ilyasut]

if you value intelligence above all other human qualities, you’re gonna have a bad time

@ednewtonrex This whole discussion is really about protecting an industry. Speaking as someone that helped establish a genre of music, I can assure you that what is bad for record labels and "pros" does not translate to being bad for art or consumers of art.

You can tell when engineers with a passion for computer science are working on ML. This is really inspiring. Great job @AdeptAILabs time for me to wrap the C++ code in Julia :)

@karpathy Seems reasonable to assume that training encodes a directed A->B edge without considering that the english word "is" implies equality symmetry which would require two edges. At inference time, the mesa-optimizer would have to infer that missing edge.

GPT4 is completely unable to write in iambic pentameter without rhyming couplets :)

@sirbayes It's always disappointing when they just present a hypothesis.

[John Carmack @ID_AA_Carmack]

I sometimes play with the constraints of building a big AI cluster out of consumer hardware in case datacenter regulatory oversight got silly, but I am consciously LARPing as a rebel, to contrast with the AI doomers LARPing as imperials.

@bryan_johnson Black tech-wear would suit you well!

[Robert Luciani @r3tex]

LLMs will be training themselves soon because, just like with PvNP, validating that an answer is good is much easier than producing a good answer.

2023 - people start torrenting Neural Network weights like we used to torrent movies and games.

It was actually me who insisted on including such a clause into my record deals. Hail Satan.

[Right Wing Watch @RightWingWatch]

Alex Jones says that everyone who is offered a television show or a record deal is first required to "reject Jesus Christ and pledge yourself to Lucifer."

[Yann LeCun @ylecun]

Hotter take: ML would have advanced faster if another front-end language had been available and widely adopted instead of Python.
One that is interactive yet fast & compilable, multithreaded (no GIL), isn't bloated, doesn't care about white spaces,...
E.g. Julia or some Lisp.

[Robert Luciani @r3tex]

Whether an AI can be "factual" is an epistemological question, not a technical question.

[Robert Luciani @r3tex]

Graph neutral networks are still in their infancy. Here's a great paper about capturing "long range" features.
