AI safety is a completely separate question from the hard problem. Also a very tricky one, given these things are still black boxes.

Yeah, we're totally fucked, there is no scientific theory that can tell you what is and isn't conscious. For all we know, my laptop, not running any LLM is conscious and always has…

I can recommend Void Stranger. Real mystery box of a game. The first ending seriously hooked me into figuring out all its secrets.

What it says in the title. I don't think human extinction from AI is guaranteed, but it's too likely for my taste (I give it 20% odds, especially when you consider it could be some…

So the power grid is having experiences? Computers too?

Well, actually, probably not. If you say we're made out of meat, you end up with the hard problem of consciousness. I'm imagining a purple cube in this moment. Is the purple cube m…

A very good outcome for AI safety would be if when improved models get released, malicious actors use them to break society in very visible ways. Looks like we're getting close to …

How can human races not be a meaningful genetic category? Aside from the phentoypical differences, the prevalence of some diseases varies by race.

How can the service know that the users have really entered into a relationship?

If you have time to post on Hacker News, you definitely have time for proper grammar.

I think the contrived scenarios you come up with need to not have a trivial solution. Everything about my brain is optimized for KISS, it breaks everything to turn down simple solu…

Well, dethroning the 0.01% seems more feasible than starting and winning a civil war against the right. I think the right is not so pro 0.01% as you think, the killing of the Unite…

I wish AI written submissions were banned.

Man, talking to strangers in random places just feels socially uncalibrated to me, like I'm being retarded. The first time I across that idea was in the form of "cold approach", th…

"Anthropic wanted its product to not be used in ways that contradict its ethics". "Impose" makes it sound like Anthropic is being hostile here. And also, I don't think this is a si…

We don't really have input on how the change goes down, and it seems no one is capable of sensibly regulating AI.

Google Maps calls it Gulf of America, pretty difficult to ignore Google.

It's not virtous to make a show of one's virtue, virtue signaling is a baplutely a real thing, and a defect.

In the case of nuclear weapons, we had a theory that said they were possible. We don't have a theory that says AGI or ASI is possible. It's a big difference.

This is so weird, this feels like an incredibly stupid bug that any average developer would've noticed, but Google is so incredibly selective with their tech screen. What exactly i…

It's possible we actually never had good metrics on software productivity. That seems very difficult to measure. I definitely use AI at my job to work less, not to produce more, an…
