DevOp exists when operation tools become easy enough for developers to use.

@paulg People might hit the like button because they are curious about this new feature. Should wait for a few day for this effect to cool down.

@elonmusk It's amazing how progress commoditizes what used to be privileged for emperors and the riches.

Much discussion of AI's future extrapolates from current approaches, but things like pre-training and RLHF can become archaic surprisingly fast. One day there will be no "pre" and no "prompt," and enduring weight-level updates will happen for as long as "life" continues, just like with humans. So you have to understand, the idea of "values" that are baked into such a continually plastic system means something different. Try to extrapolate too far from what we have today, and you risk being deceived.

By the way, such a genuinely plastic system would be quite intriguing. "Context length" would no longer be a thing and we would have for the first time in effect a kind of "immortal learner" that can keep on updating itself forever and that never dies. We're clearly not there today but there is a vast space of systems yet to be imagined. When these new paradigms are realized, much of what we think about today will be moot, regarding safety or otherwise.

@austinramzy It's not only about foolings. The more Zelensky has to prove his whereabouts, the likelier some mercenaries can succesfully assassinate him

@chipro This is gerrymandering the dataset

@hardmaru More like "... and you want to do something that does not align with those in power, then you should be careful"

[Duc Nguyen @thetrducng]

@fchollet Agree. Usually, what we talk about reflects ourselves more than what we talk about.

@hardmaru @yangyang_cheng This is classic authoritarian defense. "You are free within some boundary". But they never discuss where the boundary should be appropriately set with the people.

In neural networks, it is more important to have sensible representation, than to have correct prediction.

[Duc Nguyen @thetrducng]

Appropriate internal representations come not from a single task, but from a multitudes of similar tasks.

[Duc Nguyen @thetrducng]

It is important to realize that the brain is an active learning machine. It doesn't need constant external inputs to learn. Instead, it can learn in spite of lacking external supervision. Consolidation of memory and knowledge during sleeping is one example.

@hardmaru Wonder how those applying and improving the effectiveness of this technology feel in a day-to-day basis.
