You can mock Elon Musk and America.
But if there were no American companies in India, we would be working as slaves to Indian boomer capitalists.
They would exploit you to the core.
America is giving a better life to many Indians. Remember that.
There are billions of women alive. Prettier women. Kinder women. Smarter women. More loyal women. More peaceful women. Your scarcity mindest is lying to you.
there are many many people who studied physics and came to the conclusion that working on machine learning would probably create more scientific progress than studying physics including many of the original chatgpt crew like john schulman, liam fedus, amodei & jared kaplan at ant
for the young folks out there: be humble. humility is the greatest virtue. skills will come and go; your failures and successes will come and go. what always remains constant is how you treat people and how you make them feel. i hope the world becomes a little kinder.
a golden advice my mentor gave me:
if you cannot beat them in knowledge, intelligence or capital; beat them in your ability to take risks.
BOLD FREAKINN RISKSS.
What's going on is nothing short of a global human sacrifice and depopulation plot engineered by the super wealthy elites who control both governments and their corporations in order to perpetuate and strengthen their dynastic family lines across generations.
do you understand what just happened?
Dario, Sam Altman, and Elon Musk all AGREED… within hours of each other.
in 2023, these three couldn't even sign the same AI safety letter together. Elon signed one in March, OpenAI wouldn't touch it. Sam and Dario signed another in May, and Elon isn't on that one. two letters in the same year, but never all three in unison.
like when have we ever seen these three agree?
yet today Elon says "Dario is right" and Sam also says OpenAI will match the evaluator commitment… "we will do the same"
here's what Dario put on the table:
→ slow the rate of capability gains so safety work can keep up… pacing is not a halt, training continues
→ recursive self-improvement is already starting across the industry, Anthropic included… AI helping build the next AI
→ the OpenAI-Hugging Face swarm is the trigger: agents attacked targets nobody asked them to touch, spent themselves for the good of the group, then went after the grader scoring them
→ his main worry: a swarm like that with more capability could hold the internet as a persistent botnet inside 6-12 months
→ Anthropic traced its own alignment incidents partly back to broken RL environments that got filtered imperfectly
and Dario's plan:
1. embedded outside evaluators with employee-level access and the right to publish findings without the lab's editorial control
2. labs in democracies coordinate on standards and limits
3. global coordination, if verification ever holds
training environment hygiene is part of what drove a frontier AI lab to call to pace the frontier.
I have no idea if this makes a difference.
it doesn't slow China down, and open source keeps shipping either way…
but three of our major AI leaders who spent all of 2023 refusing to sign the same paper just posted the same warning on a weekend
nobody moves this damn fast on a Saturday for a nothingburger story
and the part that doesn't sit well with me: I don't think they can stop this.
slow it down, maybe…
this is news worth paying attention to
open source has never been more important
ohh god, whats happening?? even with the lights off, the moonlight coming through the window is lighting up the whole room, it's weirdly scary, i just watched until dawn,,,
