Yeah I was chuckling
They called it Q* It’s not the first weird conspiracy I’ve heard of involving a cryptically named figure called Q…
AGI doomers can now be referred to as Q*Anon.

Remember, the people are only anonymous to you. Reuters knows who they are. Familiar with means the sources read it but did not provide it or quote from it. FTA - the letter was sent from researchers to the board. The researchers declined to comment. Who does that leave?
It strongly reminds me of the UFO stories that were all the rage a few months ago, and that military guy who testified before Congress about what he had heard from other people. Did any of that pan out? It seems not.
I follow the UFO community, that stuff is still going on. The military man, David Grusch was recently on the Joe Rogan podcast where he talked about steps moving forward.
The next big thing coming down the pipeline is ensuring that "The UAP Disclosure Act of 2023" proposed by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer passes the house. Yes this is the real name of the act, and has already passed through the Senate as part of the NDAA. The opposition in the House is coming from members from districts with entrenched military/military contracting interests.

GPT-4 doesn't pass the turing test, it's frequently wrong and nonsensical in an inhuman way. But I think this new "agi" probably does from the sound of it, and it would be the real deal.
Teachers use websites to try and detect if AI wrote essays (and often it gets it wrong, and they believe it) we've defacto passed it.
Turing test is not do AI sound like humans some of the time, but is it possible to tell an AI is AI just by speaking with it.
The answer is definitely yes, but it's not by casual conversation, but by asking weird logic problems it has tremendous problems solving and will give totally nonsensical inhuman answers to.

Every example on that web page is a trivial textbook problem. That shows memorization of training set and textual pattern matching.
No, that shows only that the dataset is comprised of common problem patterns. The paper explicitly investigates whether memorization has overly impacted performance. From page 10 [1]: > A central question in interpreting Minerva’s solutions is whether performance reflects genuine analytic capability or instead rote memorization. This is especially relevant as there has been much prior work indicating that language mo…
in Appendix j.2. they say that accuracy degraded after modification, figure 11 shows that accuracy degraded in 15 out of 20 examples after large modification.

#447Baseless speculation: they started testing an approach similar to VERSES AI and realized it has much more potential than LLMs. The free energy principle, knowledge graph approach just seems more likely to develop general intelligence without hallucinations imo.
Eh the free energy principle isn’t that magical and that comes from someone who likes it quite a bit. At the end of the day extremizing the free energy is a relaxation of constrained optimization. There are ways it’s used I find very appealing but not so appealing I’d expect it to become the dominant paradigm. Moreover, you can write a lot of standard ML problems free energy optimization in one way or another, but I…
The explicit world modelling is probably the thing that makes me more hopeful about their approach. I think integrating ML and their approach might end up being the new paradigm.

#448This almost feels like the confirmation bias that some religious people have where they see a “miracle” in everything. These AI researchers have bought into the belief that superhuman AGI is right around the corner. Thus, they will interpret everything in light of that. This also brings to mind the story of the Googler who was convinced that the internal Google AI had come alive. However, Bard doesn’t give the same v…
Apparently Ilya has been leading people in "feel the AGI" chants and "I can feel the AGI" is his catchphrase within OA. So yes, some people might have gone of the rocker a little bit.

God I love the imageboards. You can always just start a VPN and post anon to leak whatever you want about whatever you want.
> about whatever you want Almost. Nor VPN, nor Tor are sufficient to protect you against NSA with global traffic view.
Nonsense. I bet NSA is way less competent than your fantasy world
imagines.

By building quid pro quo or "revolving door" relationships. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolving_door_(politics) For example: Sam spent the last 4 years making controversial moves that benefited Microsoft a lot https://stratechery.com/2023/openais-misalignment-and-micros... at the cost of losing a huge amount of top talent (Dario Amodei and all those who walked out with him to found Anthropic). In November, Sam lo…
If anyone reading this feels like it, you could make an absolute shit-ton of money by hiring a whistleblower attorney such as https://www.zuckermanlaw.com/sec-whistleblower-lawyers/ and filing an SEC whistleblower complaint citing the various public-record elements of this improper behavior. Whistleblower cases take about 12-18 months to process, and the whistleblower eventually gets awarded 10-30% of the monetary sa…
Notes for the interested:
To try to understand how many people might be racing each other to file the first complaint, I've been tracking the number of points on the above comment.
So far, the parent comment has 3 upvotes (i.e. it peaked at 4 points recently) and 2 downvotes, bringing the current total to 2 points. Its 3 upvotes might be interpretable as 3 people in a sprint to file the first complaint. The two downvotes might even indicate an additional 2 people, having the clever idea to try to discourage others from participating (: ... if true, very clever lol.
Hiring an attorney doesn't actually even cost you anything upfront until you win, if you hire them via what's called a Contingency Fee Arrangement, which you should definitely ask for.
For those interested in a benchmark for how fast you should expect to have to move to be competitive, my guess is that an extremely fast-moving lawyer could sign a retainer agreement with you in 1 hour if you go in person to their office, and could file a complaint in an additional 3-4 hours.
In 18 months we will learn which lucky person was fastest. Stay tuned.
