    Lillian’s blog is extremely good in general & if it’s new to you I suggest checking out the other posts also. I particularly enjoyed the one on human data.

    You can dream of better yet! If the spec was required to be open source for the government project, then you could have commercial choices and some less feature rich open source ve…

    I feel the AI safety community has not made enough of Lehrer’s masterpiece on the topic: https://youtu.be/frAEmhqdLFs?si=DYsY5Juco-kJ5eWD

    It’s interesting that this is a competition elite enough that several posters on a programming website don’t seem to understand what it is. My very rough napkin math suggests that …
