Well of course, if you enjoy writing software as a hobby then you value the experience of doing it, and you value the skill involved. You probably want a community of like minded i…

Hmm. I think, based on some of Anthropic’s interpretability work, that models may have states analogous to emotions, and my own functionalist stance on consciousness lets me easily…

You know, I think Dario should have kept the Richard Brautigan theme in his essay titles. I think that I was trying to describe you to someone is an absolutely perfect match for in…

I just don’t think it’s true, or is significant enough to matter to the direction of travel of AI even if there were something to it. It’s another cope post being lobbed at the ide…

> The pelicans are still not ok to this day. If I could take one out of context quote from this whole thread as a response to TFA, it would be this one.

No, I think people will demand to not live in poverty. Capitalism allows people to escape poverty by personal effort. An AI future won’t allow it by any means other than collective…

You seem to have misunderstood my point.

So your answer is: ignore the progress, it’s not really happening, actually it’s getting worse. That’s not a credible position, but there isn’t anything that I or anyone else can s…

I don’t think it’s magic. Things need to actually be made to happen regardless of intelligence, and that’s a social issue. Also if AI were powerful enough to fix everything by itse…

UBI probably is the positive outcome, though it may not seem like it to begin with. Initially it will likely be stigmatised and under-resourced, but as a larger proportion of peopl…

There is whatever pressure you bring to bear on it. As long as you are still living in a democracy your vote is the pressure you can apply. If the parties that exist won’t represen…

Asking questions about policy and values and pushing to have those resolved in positive ways is about as far away from denial as you can get. It’s possibly the only useful thing an…

In the near term handling the transition. Jobs will be lost, careers ended, people won’t be able to reskill quickly enough. At the same time AI is an enormous opportunity to uplift…

I understand your sentiment, but I think this really is something different. This isn’t a craft going away, or even an industry being replaced, it’s potentially everything we do. I…

Yes, this is exactly what is meant by “moving the goalposts”. And it’s a fairly well known expression applying wherever people retroactively change their requirements in reaction t…

> people that can't psychologically cope with the advances of AI Yes. And there are many of them. I wonder what would help them come to terms with it. Seriously, people are going t…

I can deal with apathy, that’s the norm. What bothers me are all the people who think they can suppress AI by talking it down. That’s what’s counterproductive, just pretend the pro…

Pretty cool. The impact of AI is getting undeniable, there aren’t many positions left to move the goalposts to at this stage, next they’ll have to be outside the stadium entirely. …

I tend to agree with this also. The idea that the impact of AI is being decided by private companies with no control either by governments or the public doesn’t sit well with me. Y…

As the sibling comment says, user actions are the main driver, but also the fact that the weights can be modified. If a model is released with safeguards, they can be ablated out o…

> What do you make of that? I don’t make anything of it. That’s only been reported because it came from OpenAI and was a frontier model, incidents involving open models are probabl…

No I didn’t, and I’ve been entirely civil. Even if you do choose to read it that way that the responses break the guidelines and go against the spirit of the site.

I think he probably didn’t go far enough to be honest, though I acknowledge that’s difficult to do in his position and with the amount of attacks being thrown at Anthropic at the m…

Well that’s more in the direction of unintended consequences, but sure these exist. At least you’re not being a jerk about it.
