They’re not even fighting against fascism per se they’re just asking him to obey the law. Asking people to obey the law isn’t exactly a political position.

They hide the thought steps to mask this fact and to prevent others from benefiting from all of the finetuning data they paid for.

Well possibly but they also hide the chain of thought steps because as they point out in their article it needs to be able to think about things outside of what it’s normally allowed allowed to say which obviously means you can’t show the content. If you’re trying to come up with worst case scenarios for a situation you actually have to be able to think about those worst case scenarios

They don’t want sapient AI either, why would they?

No one is trying for a self-aware artificial intelligence.

I work in computer science but not really anything to do with AI so I’m only adjacently knowledgeable about it. But my understanding is unfortunately, no not really. The problem would be that if you run a bunch of evolutions in parallel you just get a bunch of independent AIs, all with slightly different parameters but they’re incapable of working together because they weren’t evolved to work together, they were evolved independently.

In theory you could come up with some kind of file format that allowed for the transfer of AI between each cluster, but you’d probably spend as much time transferring AI as you saved by having multiple iterations run at the same time. It’s n^n problem, where n is the number of AIs you have.

No we didn’t, Artificial General Intelligence has been determined since the '90s.

We’ve always differentiated Artificial Intelligence and Artificial General Intelligence.

What we have now is AI, I don’t know anyone who’s claiming that it’s AGI though.

People keep saying people are saying that this is AGI, but I’ve not seen anyone say that, not in this thread or anywhere else. What I have seen said is people saying this is a step on the road to AGI which is debatable but it isn’t the same as saying this thing here is AGI.

Edit to add proof:

From Wikipedia although I’m sure you can find other sources if you don’t believe me.

The term “artificial general intelligence” was used as early as 1997, by Mark Gubrud in a discussion of the implications of fully automated military production and operations. A mathematical formalism of AGI was proposed by Marcus Hutter in 2000.

So all of this happened long before the rise of large language models so no the term has not been co-opted.

To be a little nitpicky most of the AI that can play Mario kart are trained not with a reinforcement learning algorithm, but woth a genetic algorithm, which is a sort of different thing.

Reinforcement learning is rather like how you teach a child. Show them a bunch of good stuff, and show them a bunch of bad stuff, and tell them which is the good stuff and which is the bad stuff.

Genetic algorithms are where you just leave it alone, simulate the evolutionary process on an accelerated time scale, and let normal evolutionary processes take over. Much easier, and less processor intensive, plus you don’t need huge corpuses of data. But it takes ages, and it also sometimes results in weird behaviors because evolution finds a solution you never thought of, or it finds a solution to a different problem to the one you were trying to get it to find a solution to.

I don’t think anyone is actually claiming this is AGI though. Basically people are going around going “it’s not AGI you idiot”, when no one’s actually saying it is.

You’re arguing against a point no one’s making.

You want to keep a pizza together? Ah yes my amazing concepts of sticking stuff together tells me you should add 1/2 spoons of glue

That would be a good test to ask it that question and see if it comes up with a more coherent answer.

Is that even the goal? Do we want an AI that’s self aware because I thought that basically the whole point was to have an intelligence without a mind.

We don’t really want sapient AI because if we do that then we have to feel bad about putting it in robots and making them do boring jobs. Don’t we basically want guildless servants, isn’t that the point?

I’m the same with any programming question as long as the answer is Hello World

I suppose that would be an improvement for the people with cancer (assuming the options are mutually exclusive). I don’t think it would be that great for everyone else though so on balance I cannot support this idea.

They won’t, it’s just they’re so used to getting their own way with the government in the US that they think that this will cause the EU to do anything.

Privacy is already illegal, technically, it’s just no one really enforces it, mostly because the law is so vague it’s hard to work out if anyone has actually broken it. They’re not going to start enforcing it just because Hollywood wants them to.

Well that’s the second stage isn’t it.

Start off by being the cheap and cheerful option, then raise prices and justify it by diversifying into more high quality products, and actually do that, create better quality products so people think the price increase is actually acceptable.

Then slowly cut back on the higher quality products and go back to your basic service but don’t change the price.

You see it in food, you see it in streaming services, you see it in video games. Remember when Call Of Duty was actually good?

Netflix didn’t have this problem when only Netflix existed. Then they started removing content from their platform and pissed everyone off so people started pirating because they wanted their content back.

Then a bunch of other streaming services started and Netflix didn’t really do anything to make their product more attractive, so those streaming providers ended up getting more content. Then Netflix cut back on their own unique content, which was their main drive in the first place (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, And yes I know it was terrible, but Discovery). So now I have to have 35 different subscriptions if I want to be 100% legit.

People don’t buy EVs because they are way too expensive. BS spy devices and features hidden behind paywalls can be put in anything.

Ikea are worried as then they will have to come down firm on a pronunciation.

It is either eye key eh, or i key ah, but even they don’t seem to know.

What if this is the best timeline?

I can’t imagine there is any reality out there where capitalism doesn’t exist.

Actually this is a good thing. They’ve gone and got a patent for it, so now I know not to buy ford cars, and no one else can spy on me without breaking copyright, because that’s the part that would be illegal.

I’m still not convinced LLMs are even the correct path to true AI. I do not understand how it’s going to control a robotic body since it’s had no experience of physical existence in its training data.

Does it even comprehend the ramifications of gravity, object permanence, time, or anything other concept that an organism gathers naturally by living in a physical reality?

You almost got there you almost managed to get it. The court of public opinion is not a real court so it doesn’t matter and he’s an asshole so who cares.
