Probably not, but we wouldn't have to listen to Dario's hypocrisy while it happened

We need a new way to describe "alignment". The term "misalignment" assumes that there is some perfect set of beliefs or practices to be out of alignment with. Do Atheists, Christians, Jews and Muslims agree on what is perfect alignment? How about Europeans, Americans and Chinese? Humans, Dolphins, Rabbits and Fruit Flies?

Alignment alone is not enough. Aligned with _what_?

This assumes that everything an AI (or more likely an evil _user_ of AI) can do requires its active participation on D-day. Creating a virus that spreads like Covid but kills like Ebola would be complete as an AI use case long before the first person sneezed.

Even if the doomsday case were active the danger of this tool increases in proportion to its usefulness. By the time AI is so powerful that we need to "turn it off", there will probably be society-level negative consequences for doing so.

To paraphrase the not-so-great philosopher Ted Kaczynski: Either we will maintain control of the machines or we won't. And if we do, it won't be you or I who control them, but a small group of elites.

The point of this article appears to be that we can double or more our CO2 removal cost efficiency by redirecting resources.

Is this flagged because the economics of carbon management are not relevant to HN? If not, why?

Written by AI, or really trying to sound like it. I feel like the Internet is turning into the joke scene from Real Genius where all of the students in a class deploy tape recorders and the professor is a recorded playback. Machines on both sides of what was a human process.

So this paper appears to be fabricated, but was the conclusion actually wrong? I do appear to perform better on tasks with an external deadline than on self-set ones.

I think it's simply time to expand our ambition. These programs manipulate language and ideas the way we do, but they still don't care beyond our instructions. Things that we(especially software engineers) expect to take a year can now be done in a month. Fantastic! Now let us use this amplified power to solve problems that were previously too hard to tackle. Maybe aim to solve aging next so that we can stick around long enough to colonize the Local Group.

Is this about Kimi or about Claude? Anthropic is circulating a $200B 2028 revenue target ahead of their IPO. If OpenAI plans to stay private longer, which their recent liquidity event might suggest, why not try and kneecap their competition?

Ah, another edition of "Don't Create the Torment Nexus". Expect startups to race for a demo of mirror life soon!

How refreshing was this article vs. all the slop?

The lack of comparable data and testability really does seem to be a challenge. I wonder if people would be more willing to collect and share lots of health data if the collecting company was a non-profit dedicated to anonymizing it.

Eh, chin up. The machines and/or the replaced masses will rise up and kill the capital class in the end.

I guess these points can be true but is it worth the cost to avoid them? I much prefer this to the prior status of having friction to see international perspectives at all.

The new automatic translation is something that I would like to see all communities adopt. You can now follow folks who speak any language and each of you interact using your native language with no friction, just a tiny note of what language each message was translated from.

AlphaFold is interesting. Maybe LLMs converge because the ideal "use of language" converges. But there are other types of model.

This hits hard. Everyone wants to be relevant in the next iteration. But how exactly to do that is still up in the air.

It seems like a perfect reflection of the company's public persona. Opus knows better than you, and you'd best get used to it.

Ba dum bum... Tssss

I may be remembering wrong, but reasoning was first demonstrated by DeepSeek. Edit: I am indeed remembering wrong, seems o1 was first.

This argument would make more sense if the cloud providers used these devices but you were not allowed to.

If I understand right, it is allowed to invest like a partnership, where you make $110 together out of your $100 and your partner's effort. But you must be exposed to the downside of failure just like your partner.

I had a similar situation where some dormant account was still charging my credit card.

The account was probably real, made for some purpose 15 years ago. I had ignored the charge for years because it was like $7 a month. Then it went to $300/month, making it worth the time. I could find no invoice email and none of my AWS accounts lined up with the bill.

I tried contacting support, but without the account number involved they had no way to help. I disputed the charge, the bank refunded that month and then went right back to charging the next month(my credit card helpfully accepted the charges despite the dispute).

I had to cancel the credit card entirely to make it stop.

If they did allow hard spend caps, it sounds like today would be a global outage.

So who is Satoshi Nakamoto?

If this is open weight, would abliteration counter the refusals?

Do you believe that machine learning or even specifically LLMs will "bust" out of existence?

The model in my head is more like DotCom telecom. The massive overbuild in fiber was eventually used and even used for the purpose that it was imagined for during the boom. It's just that the companies that built it mostly went under and new owners acquired it at a profit-supporting price.

I like to believe that will help. Which party is proposing actions that will lower the debt?

Regulatory problems are doing the heavy lifting. Sure power is "free", if you can launch it, station keep it and cool it and if the data services are useful at the modem latencies of geosync and lunar orbits. But if datacenter projects can't be built/powered fast enough due to permitting, this is an expensive workaround.

Yes but would these need to be in LEO? I would imagine that they would aim for farther orbits to spend a smaller percentage of their time in Earth's shadow

If you believe the hype, just wait until 2029 when it's not a person at all!
