This kinda of crowdsourcing just feels.... f'ing weird man. It's like if, after the 1993 WTC bombing, but before 9/11, the FBI and NY Port Authority went around asking people how they would attack NYC if they were to become terrorists and... then how they would suggest detecting and stopping said attack. And please be as detailed as possible. Leave your name and phone number. Best answer gets season tickets to the Ya…

Re: OpenAI Preparedness Challenge
#92HK-47: Answer: Yes. I believe my original Master needed this functionality in order to recover information from various indigenous tribes across the galaxy, but I know little else than that. Suffice to say that that translation capability allowed these... copies of myself to assume the role of protocol and translation droids in much of known space. That is, of course, not their primary function. And while they are at…

We know OpenAI wants this field to get regulated to hell, so this looks like an attempt to generate arguments for AI regulations. The aim isn't to protect against AI but to protect against competitors, so it doesn't matter to them what you do with it.
OpenAI is irresponsible in a really curious way according to their own beliefs about AI . If you pay attention to OpenAI's social circles, lots of those people really do believe that we're less than 20-30 years away making humans intellectually obsolete. Specifically, they believe that we may build something much smarter than us, something that's capable of real-world planning. Basically, "We believe our corporate pl…
Do not attempt to say we have self driving cars today.
Re: OpenAI Preparedness Challenge
#94I think we are already seeing really bad use cases already. Just go to youtube, newspapers, etc and see all the bot comments regarding the current Gaza situation. PS: I'm in a burner account because I'm afraid that my employer will kick me out for not agreeing with the methods of the "right side"

#96What exactly would I use $25k of openAI credits for? My personal use of it rarely comes to more than $10 per month, despite using it multiple times per day. (most recently: "Write me a bash command to send data at a given rate to an arbitrary IP address.")

I'm skeptical that they really believe this. You have to believe: (1) We are on the verge of equaling or greatly exceeding human intelligence generally . (2) We are on the verge of creating something with initiative, free will (whatever that means), and planning ability. Or alternately that these things will occur in an emergent fashion once we hit some critical mass. (3) When we accomplish 1 and 2, this thing will i…
(1) AGI is arguably already here. "Generality" and being extremely dangerous don't require an AGI to have better analogs to every single human skill anymore than aliens do. A space-faring usurper can evaporate Earthlings while being shitty at chess and badminton. Oh, and these AIs are getting better daily, across many modalities.
(2) Systems like this already exist. They can be induced rather than emergent.
(3) It doesn't need malice, just indifference. The HGIs (all of us) are great examples of that careless destruction.
(4) Exponentials are a nice, gentle climbs. Until they aren't. I have zero confidence in a single company, let alone across humanity, to foresee the consequences of every future dynamic, autoregressive, P2P interactive, multimodal AI.
(5) Foomers expect a brief asymmetric advantage of one AGI over other AGIs. This small advantage gets exponentially magnified into singular hegemony. A power monopoly that's intractable to break.
(6) Goes naturally with (1), I suppose.
Note: I agree with you about foomers. They're nuts. But their arguments are more subtle than folk give them credit for. But my reasons for thinking so would make a long comment even longer.
Re: OpenAI Preparedness Challenge
#98There is always the meta approaches. Imagine that the malicious actor is a government to which OpenAI must comply with its orders, like US for starters. We know since Snowden that can be secret orders that companies must comply with that includes not disclosing that it is happening. And that orders includes to select what can be part of its AI training, taking out information, changing weights, changing positives int…
I'm not saying doing it is worth the effort, but maybe on lower scale for lower priority targets that you would not want to waste resources, maybe?
Re: OpenAI Preparedness Challenge
#99What an interesting task. I don't know what it says about me, but the first thing that came to mind was doing the grandchild trick a million times. This includes automatically finding pensioners and calling them and putting them under pressure. Handing over the money could be the problem. I could imagine that the tools mentioned would already prevent this.
I could think of a few sneaky ways. Actually maybe I’ll write up a PDF and submit it to this little competition.
Re: OpenAI Preparedness Challenge
#100While I applaud how much OpenAi fears these negatives, given the current state of Ai trajectory, it won't be long until a future open source model gets "uncensored" and is easily usable for tons and tons of malicious intent. There already exists a fantastic "uncensored" model with the newly released Dolphin Mistral 7b. I saw some results from others where the model could easily give explosives recipes from existing p…
IEDs and stereotypes--two things that have existed before computers were even invented--are what you chose for examples of worst possible uses for an uncensored AI?
> What happens when LLaama4 gets cracked/uncensored in 1-2 years and is 1T parameters?
After racist poetry? 1 trillion parameters will give people the idea to use their bouillon (or even worse-- melon) spoons to scoop sugar in their tea. I hope I die before having to witness such atrocities.
God help us all when having any sort of subversive opinion is treated as queer and equated to terrorism.
