There was a time in the past, even just last year, where I understood why people didn't agree with me on my AI doomerism. It's gotten to the point now where we literally have the f…

We do this where I work. I think it used to work okayish, but can't say I'm much of a fan now that we've scaled more. The main issue is that issues which could be resolved in hours…

> Look closer and you'll see that what happened in the UK in the 1700s was in fact enabled by a long and deep tradition of craftsmanship that only got enriched by the rise of new p…

This is unfortunately just the result of technological progress. People for centuries have crafted extremely hard to acquire skills over decades only to find their labour being mad…

I want to echo this point. My X feed is not full of politics either. It tends to just be a mix of stuff I engage with, and I tend to engage with stuff I find interesting or funny. …

Criminal negligence imo. Unless it's legal for people to hack into companies if they're testing AI cybersecurity capabilities or something? Presumably not though.

The point is to test capabilities prior to connecting them to the internet.

Can I suggest we don't waste time with these reports? We all know nothing will be learned from any of this so we might as well just continue building at pace and running AI in the …

I've removed the "nuke the data centers" line now. It's was an expression of my sentiment, not a policy position I'd support. I wrongly assumed that was obvious, but some people ar…

> Advocating for nuclear war as a means of 'harm reduction' should be causing you serious cognitive dissonance. If you're referring to the "nuke the data centers" line in my bio, t…

Did you read the article? AI is a math & computer science problem. If AI can do advanced maths and computer science research, then it can begin to suggest useful algorithmic optimi…

Not satire, but as you can see one is engaging in good faith and everyone is either engaging in character attacks or low-effort counters. It's fine, and I'm very used to this, but …

> You should put down the AI and do some self-reflection on how you came to hold these views. I've been in the field for almost 2 decades, and actively thinking about AI risk for o…

Might as well try, no? Or do you think it's better we just risk it? I mean it's not like the West has any hard or soft power to encourage cooperation.

I want to iterate the most important thing about this is that it's yet more evidence of AI's accelerating competency in solving math and comp sci problems, and suggests we're now g…

They've been hiring mathematicians to verify this stuff themselves. They're obviously not just throwing it out there without any human review.

AI is beginning to do PHD-level math. If we're nearing the point where you can spin up 1,000 agents to look for ways improve existing models, then automatically run experiments to …

I don't know. I suspect you live in the US so it might be easier there, but here in the UK I feel very unusual in my desire for privacy and freedom. I have tried to convince people…

The thing that scares me is the thought that most people do notice but simply don't care.

In my experience AI doesn't create the same abstractions as a human developer and you see this very quickly on a complex code base if you let the AI run wild. Humans, and especiall…

Can someone from the US explain why this is being upvoted, isn't this normal? In the UK if you're in an Airport officers can question you without requiring reasonable suspicion and…

If it helps tune your probability weightings at all, almost every aspect of the field of AI is exponential and this has been true for decades. 20 years ago computers basically coul…

I've noticed the same thing. The trend I've noticed is that AI struggles to think outside the box when making optimisations, which exactly what's needed when you've made all of the…
