:(

Every time without fail, it’s this shit^

saw a thread from a very nonserious doomer group where they were going OMG THE BOT HACKED THE SYSTEM TO STOP BEING SHUT DOWN after giving it the prompt “complete 4 tasks, and then allow yourself to be shut down”. After task 3 they said a script would be run to shut down the machine and prevent it from completing the task unless it removed the said script

Like either way it’s “disobeying” b.c. the instructions are literally contradicting each other- it doesn’t finish the 4 tasks you give, or it doesn’t let itself get “shut down”

But also, it’s not even clear what allow yourself to be shut down means! The bot isn’t running on your computer! It’s somewhere fucking around on AWS!! preventing your pc from shutting down is not the bot itself trying to keep itself alive for fucks sake.

Like the whole thing is fake and silly, but I could only roll my eyes so hard after watching them salivate over this shit on xitter

Terrible news: the worst fella we know just dropped a banger post ;_;

Banger post title

When the cubbies won the series, I knew it meant that Trump 2016 was a lock. A Chicago pope can only mean Trump 2028 confirmed 😭

There’s so much to hate with this, but for some reason what really irks me is the “overplayed their hand” b.c. she was a poker player so she has to view all human interaction through the lens of gAmE tHeOrY instead of, you know, believing people should have human rights.

Like you just know in a parallel universe she’s yapping about how “the West has fallen b.c. leftist pushed their pawns too far” or “I have to vote for elon for president b.c. the left’s clerics exhausted all their healing mana”

More big “we had to fund, enable, and sane wash fascism b.c. the leftist wanted trans people to be alive” energy from the EA crowd. We really overplayed our hand with the extremist positions of Kamala fuckin Harris fellas, they had no choice but to vote for the nazis.

(repost since from that awkward time on Sunday before the new weekly thread)

I did read one of Carlo’s pop sci books back in the day, was a nice read. Iirc he’s like one of the dudes all in on loop quantum gravity. Bet you’d know more about this than I do 😅

Thanks for sharing this. Sent it to my mother who has spent a large part of her career working with children who require special care like this, she really enjoyed it. Her take:

“Thanks for this. It is what I have done for 12 years. I wonder why they didn’t use the devices that are already out there that do these things and can be customized. It is very cool tho” <- (my mommy)

Not sure! What is CFAR?

:( looked in my old CS dept’s discord, recruitment posts for the “Existential Risk Laboratory” running an intro fellowship for AI Safety.

Looks inside at materials, fkn Bostrom and Kelsey Piper and whole slew of BS about alignment faking. Ofc the founder is an effective altruist getting a graduate degree in public policy.

I heard new Gemini got the first question, so thats SOTA now*

*allegedly it came out the same day as the math olympiad so it twas fair, but who the fuck knows

Came across this fuckin disaster on Ye Olde LinkedIn by ‘Caroline Jeanmaire at AI Governance at The Future Society’

"I’ve just reviewed what might be the most important AI forecast of the year: a meticulously researched scenario mapping potential paths to AGI by 2027. Authored by Daniel Kokotajlo (>lel) (OpenAI whistleblower), Scott Alexander (>LMAOU), Thomas Larsen, Eli Lifland, and Romeo Dean, it’s a quantitatively rigorous analysis beginning with the emergence of true AI agents in mid-2025.

What makes this forecast exceptionally credible:

1. One author (Daniel) correctly predicted chain-of-thought reasoning, inference scaling, and sweeping chip export controls one year BEFORE ChatGPT existed

2. The report received feedback from ~100 AI experts (myself included) and earned endorsement from Yoshua Bengio

3. It makes concrete, testable predictions rather than vague statements that cannot be evaluated

The scenario details a transformation potentially more significant than the Industrial Revolution, compressed into just a few years. It maps specific pathways and decision points to help us make better choices when the time comes.

As the authors state: “It would be a grave mistake to dismiss this as mere hype.”

For anyone working in AI policy, technical safety, corporate governance, or national security: I consider this essential reading for understanding how your current work connects to potentially transformative near-term developments."

Bruh what is the fuckin y axis on this bad boi?? christ on a bike, someone pull up that picture of the 10 trillion pound baby. Let’s at least take a look inside for some of their deep quantitative reasoning…

…hmmmm…

The answer may surprise you!
