For Sake of Argument lets say you pause US from doing anything on AI, how will you control China, Germany or other Countries.. This will only lead to US Lagging behind other countries.
"The Dark Forest" is a science fiction novel by Liu Cixin, which introduces a concept called "suspicion."(“猜疑链”) In this concept, the interaction between civilizations is viewed as an ongoing game of suspicion, where each civilization is worried that the other civilization may pose a threat to it. This kind of suspicion makes it difficult for civilizations to establish trust, thereby making the universe a dark forest…
Earlier quoted context omitted.
> The industrial revolution didn't make human lives miserable, it made it better. I think this is a point that is genuinely debatable. At least, it's pretty easy to argue both sides of that proposition.
And the comparison with the industrial revolution is a poor analogy because the industrial revolution never proposed as a goal to automate humanity in totality, merely to automate human drudgery . AI is an anti-industrial revolution, because it proposes to start with the most fulfilling aspects of human existence: writing, the arts, and to automate people engaged in those jobs, and to only later come to automate huma…
I think it’s a coincidence that it’s threatening some kinds of artists first - I don’t see that distinction lasting long with the advent of plugins, and art has a fundamental, semi- necessary human quality that is not present in knowledge work.
Cat may be out of the bag. I was wondering today whether the race should be on to be creating an benevolent AI to defend humanity from the less benevolent ones.
If you don't know how to make one already you will be racing towards the precipice, not steering away from it.
The virtue signal of all virtue signals. We do not live in a society where an article like this will have any impact. This is merely an attempt to buy time because they're behind and want to have a chance to catch up. Work will progress whether they like it or not. Finally someone other than Ol' Musky is in the news more than him. Don't get me wrong he's doing and leading great work, but for once in more recent times…
Doesn’t Elon Musk continue to hold stake at OpenAI?
93 points in 4 hours... Why did this go off of the front page?
GPT-4 might be close to the best we'll get on the general LLM model front for a while since they trained on a huge chunk of web text. Next real advances will probably be in tuning them for specific applications in medicine, law, accounting, marketing, coding and etc. As someone running a one man company I can't wait for the cost of accounting, legal and copywriting to approach 0. Cost of shipping products will also g…
How can a large language model achieve that?
>AI research and development should be refocused on making today's powerful, state-of-the-art systems more accurate, safe, interpretable, transparent, robust, aligned, trustworthy, and loyal. LMAO. “AI should have… waves at a laundry list of nice sounding adjectives that mean different things to every single signatory in order to accomplish… Humanity [can enjoy] a flourishing future with AI. This will take… six month…
All the nicknames for people on HN has this place feeling like Reddit lately. What happened to mature conversations on interesting topics?
Upon perusal of the gentleman's penned expressions, it is my solemn conviction that his faculties of intellect and comprehension are, regrettably, of the most inferior order. It is with utmost eloquence that I convey the supremacy of my discernment whilst maintaining a dignified and majestic reserve.
I understand that some people find this a hopeless gesture. But I think anybody who thinks "losing jobs" or "China" is a bad outcome from AI is hopelessly lost. The upside of AI if done right - nobody ever having to work again The downside of AI if done wrong - end of humanity It doesn't take a rocket scientist to determine we've made AIs go from thinking like an ant to thinking like a 6-year-old in a few years. Anyb…
Perhaps I'm kidding myself, but could you explain how you know this?

Forget countries? How will you stop me? I have models on my local computer. I can and will use them. They will get better. You don't put tech genie's back in their bottles, that's not how it works.
