Free masonry is old school. The new illuminati is a polycule
if ur in software engineering, pivot to freemasonry
I'm begging the bugmen to defy their physiognomy
Yeah I do not want these EA weirdos overseeing the entire AI industry. Sorry. Nope.
"I like some of the Bengio stuff. What does he know about civil liberties?"
JUST IN: “Godfather of AI” Yoshua Bengio declares recursive self-improvement should be illegal.
I want to hear more from Goertzel, Lanier and Land
@SydSteyerhart He's the goat, but Ben Goertzel also seems to have fallen off the radar in these conversations, and he was the guy who got me schizophrenic about the Singularity like 10+ years ago.

You know that thing you talk to every day that does exactly what you ask it to do?
Might not...
I'll repeat: Understanding how things can be exploited is largely the same as understanding how things can be secured.
Any press release highlighting AI discovered vulnerabilities that doesn't also talk about how they're able to patch those vulnerabilities is propaganda.

The discourse on here has gotten so stupid that AI people are now arguing that cybersecurity people don’t think about weird ways computers can be exploited.
Knowing how a neuron works doesn't mean knowing how a brain works.
Knowing how an organism works doesn't mean knowing how an ecosystem works.
Knowing how a business works doesn't mean knowing how an economy works.

SITUATION DETECTED: More than 100 AI evaluators and researchers, including Geoffrey Hinton, have published a letter calling on frontier labs to embed independent third-party evaluators with employee-level access to models.

In 20th century Japan, there was no greater honor than to die as an extra in a Kurosawa film.
"why dont they make movies like this anymore" because akira kurosawa just killed that extra. hes dead. Akira Kurosawa killed over 12,000 people in his career as director. murder was outlawed in japan only in 1981

Bernie Sanders never gave quadrupligics telekinesis.
So, is this man thinking the words, and they're appearing on a computer?
And there are people out there who hate billionaires and would prefer to transfer all their money to be wasted by politicians.
OK so pi is super cool and all, but what number lines up? I feel I'd be way more into that number.
It never made sense to me how pi (π) can continue forever without ending until I watched this video.
Yes. If your work is primarily in red teaming - "OMG it hacked" and not security - "OMG we were able to patch a number of cybersecurity issues", you are performing gain of function research.
We're obligated to ask why.

@bitcloud the parallels with “we gave this secret model instructions to hack everything it could and then put it in an environment it hacked out of, this just shows how serious and dangerous the work is that we’re doing and you need to trust us to do it, you denialists. you simpletons”

Tall guys unite. The world is ours.
If you liked gain-of-function, you're gonna love this!
SITUATION DETECTED: Anthropic has set up a wet lab in the San Francisco Bay Area for physical biology work. It wants to unlock treatments for rare diseases, and its research has now gone beyond in silico evaluations, per Reuters.

"We cant let evidence free panic become the foundation for policy"
Pretty sure politicians tested this theory and know that you can infact do that.
Infosec it's time to act & it's important:
We need to collectively & unilaterally call this story and the rest that is going on as fake news attempting to manipulate the public
We cant let evidence free panic become the foundation for policy
Stop letting them sell fake fear

Jev seems to think Astra is the best choice for this task
The whole LLM larp is for the normies.
LLMs happen to be useful by virtue of the linguistic patterns of utility being pre-trained by the human internet.
They tell an "alive" story in a way that FSD or Jev doesnt.
No one is worried about FSD "escaping the box" because it's a useful tool developed to sell cars to consumers, not sell doom to investors.
If you made a car that occasionally went rogue, you wouldnt be hailed as a god emperor, but as an idiot who made bad tools that work poorly.

again. this is psyop for the normies. this is an absolutely ridiculous side channel to reliably use and like with what sensor would even do it? the cpu temp sensor? are the agents going to communicate with 1bit/hour?

Or a variable clock speed.
Insane defeatist nonsense. It’s almost like they want to surrender without even trying anything.
Underground vault, pitch black room, faraday cage, closed door, m-of-n keys to open. Seems like a start if it’s that scary. Not whatever fake nonsense they did for huggingface.

"Possible" doing the maximum amount of heavy lifting
everyone who understands the first thing about computer security or what superintelligence means understands this is possible and all the usual gang of idiots is calling this scifi hype
Millennials were raised on 'The power of one" "save the ethiopians", but also have Peter Pan syndrome so have so subsume to every genz hot issue like vampires drinking blood to stay young.
why is it about gen-z? macklemore has to be in like his mid 40s by now. and him and his fans started it.
It's hard to understand AI.
If you sell normies on the idea that they can act smart with phrases like "p(doom)" however...
Every day, I come across new well-funded efforts to stoke fear of AI
Doomers are giving people a religious movement that prays on their deepest fears - not just death but poverty/obsolesce - while the other side only offers just pragmatic arguments
