    You mean for AI consciousness or existential risk? I think Anthropic downplay the existential risk (they might talk about it now and then, but they still build frontier models) but…

    I agree with this, but I don't think Anthropic would, they appear to be much more convinced than what I think would be reasonable.

    It seems like a simple solution but if Anthropic was actually to dedicate all its resources this way wouldn't the investors just demand a new CEO? I think Anthropic believe these r…

    My smoke detector has gone off three times now, where is the fire?

    I suppose you end up hating it either way, if you're a better developer than it you don't like it because it sucks, and if it's a better developer than you then you just feel obsol…

    You mean that self improving AI is very far away? I'm not sure how much I believe that now it's solving Erdos problems?

    I agree with all of these points, my view is just that open source doesn't really do much to prevent it. I also think it adds the additional danger of making dangerous capabilities…

    I can understand this for hacking tools, but I'm not really sure how we fix the security issues on the CBRN side? We can't patch the human body like we can with software, so if the…

    I would say I agree with Anthropic on open source for the reasons stated above like cyber crime, CBRN etc, but I'm interested to hear the other side of the argument. What would be …

    At the moment is the significant part, how long do we expect this to last now that AI is capable of generating novel ideas like solutions to Erdos conjectures?

    I don't think that's true, from what I've seen the people on here are pretty consistently anti surveillance

    Comment #48332172

    All of these discussions seem to assume there's a limit at human level intelligence beyond which AI can progress no further. What stops the AI companies taking their human level mo…

    Pdoom would be the most important for me, everything else depends on us being able to control the AI. But beyond that there's still problems like concentration of power and surveil…

    There's isn't even a solution for how to control highly capable systems at all, everyone wants to decide what to do with the AI before they've even solved the problem of controllin…

    I feel like these articles are just a reasurance for people who don't want to accept that AI will automate their jobs. It becomes easier to focus on a lesser group of AI users and …

    I haven't used stable diffusion enough to have a strong opinion on it. But my thinking is LLMs have only recently started contributing novel solutions to problems, so maybe there i…

    Comment #47907260

    Remember when people thought solving Erdos problems required intelligence? Is there anything an LLM could ever do that would cound as intelligence? Surely the trend has to break at…

    Comment #47907237

    Solving open math problems is strong evidence of intelligence so there's not really any need for rationalization? I don't understand why intelligence would require intent or motive…

    Comment #47907160

    There's probably a limit to how intelligent something can be with no long term memory, but solving Erdos problems in 80 minutes is clearly not above it, and I think the true limit …

    What your describing sounds more like the model is lacking awareness than lacking intelligence? Why does it need to know it solved the problem to be intelligent?
