Sadly just left PDKU, it was an incredibly transformative experience I will write about extensively in the future.
Until then, here is a picture of me in my dinosaur onesie on sf transit:
@cybercpu@JJ_McCullough The agent illegally broke into another company's files without being prompted to and was able to hide for hours without Openai knowing. Obviously ai companies lie about things, but this is hard to lie about because it impacted things outside of openai.
It's not actually disproving the Jacobian conjecture, it's just predicting what a mathematician who knows a disproof of the Jacobian conjecture would say if they were asked for the counterexample. Of course it's a valid counterexample, because the mathematician would give one.
So many boomers can't tell the difference, but soon if not already, many of us may also find ourselves in a confusing and digitally incomprehensible world.
Twitter replies are full of folks who think we should just give up and die rather than try to stop AI. The defeatism is almost funny, in light of recent events.
Key takeaways from President Xi's speech in his first ever appearance at the World AI Conference in Shanghai:
- Started the speech by referring to his signature maxim, "great changes unseen in a century are unfolding across the world"
- Said that the world has "entered an unprecedented period of active innovation on AI technology", which means "great opportunities as well as challenges for governance”
- reaffirmed commitment to open source to promote AI "openness and win-win"
- warns against "over stretching" the concept of national security as applied to AI where one country's national security is prioritised over others
- China opposes emergence of “new historical injustices” in AI (one of the most strongly worded parts of the speech)
- China in next 5 years will provide 5000 opportunities to developing countries in "AI training and seminar programmes" and "cooperation centres" - names ASEAN, League of Arab States, African Union, CELAC, SCO and BRICS
