Quasi-RH?!?!???! Are you kidding me? If a human did this, it would be an instant Fields Medal, no questions asked. RH says zeta has no zeros in Re(s)>1/2. The best we had until a second ago was a region that got thinner and thinner the higher up the imaginary axis you go. I thought maybe they’d fatten that up a bit, that’d be a massive breakthrough. But no. They got a zero free strip!!!! Insane

sorry, nytimes does't think ai can do math

A mind virus in three parts

I mean he was also “highly confident” of going to mars too

Arguing for the death penalty by appealing to the most famous case in world history of a guiltless man being wrongly executed is a titanic self-own

Don’t just take the Apostle’s word for it. Take Pilate’s word for it.

Then be quiet probably.

Human can invent Go and Chess.

The most inconvenient truth. I badly wish the EAs did not have an absolutely clouted recent predictive track record. BUT THEY DO GUYS

Some might call it kind of mixed

> called prediction markets > never seem to predict much

i don't mean everyone. i mean you discount that factor too much. too hard to understand?

oh you ignore herding behavior too much

Why pay 1 mil for a poll that leans a few extra points in your favor when you can just pump the volume on a prediction market with that same mil and people will trust it more

Enough to skew the data and result in herding

Paying people to shill on the comments.

Prediction markets were elite pre-2024. However once campaign staff realized they could manipulate them just like polls, they lost their luster

If future AIs become 'conscious', they should be capable of experiencing altered states of consciousness. Loosely analogous to human minds under the influence of alcohol, cannabis, ketamine, DMT, meth, anaesthetics, hypnosis, or mental illnesses. But do we really want agentic Artificial Superintelligences that can get drunk, high, spun out, dissociated, sedated, and/or insane? Do we really want them to invent their own digital versions of psychoactive drugs that they'll find intensely fun, rewarding, and addictive? There where 'AI consciousness' leads. You can't have 'ordinary, sober consciousness' -- whether in animals, humans, or AIs -- without the risk of dangerous altered states.

Surely someone had done this. Give an LLM access to mech interp tools that can force it to think of some concept and the like. And see where it ends up

Tucker is correct, btw. When adjusted for PPP*, Russia's economy is significantly larger than Britain's. *PPP is a better measure than nominal GDP for Russia, as Russia's economy is export-based and, as a result, having a weak currency is in its interest, so the Russian government periodically weakens the ruble. This makes nominal GDP a worthless measure of the Russian economy

Another one quits. I agree with what he says here: iterative deployment needs to be phased out asap, more costly and time consuming understanding and foresight and redundancy based safety practices need to arise instead. And that simply won't happen under anything like current race conditions.

I do not think we know how to answer this question scientifically. I don’t know what probability I put on the object level question but I think it’s certainly possible and i find this lack of humility and tolerance for other viewpoints to be quite distasteful. The OpenAI Model Spec acknowledges that this is a matter of research and debate.

I have found these recent conversations on models having "souls" (and attempts to get religious leaders to endorse that, to be extremely off-putting. Perhaps my verbiage was too strong or not communicated well, I deserve push back for that -- but I don't subscribe to a POV that pursuit of AGI or AGI leads to something that should be considered consciousness.

Russia can produce more haircuts, the UK produces more goods and services that global markets would pay more for in aggregate. That's the ~definition. In terms of how that translates to power, that's contentious. The banal mean of nominal GDP and PPP GDP is not a bad start.

You got it backwards. The uk has more has more turkish barbers and Russia has more hard industry factories

The anthropormophising of AI, the idea it has consciousness and agency - and can go 'rogue' - is an attempt to limit liability, optimise user engagement and maximise stock value

In the history of capitalism, I'm hard pressed to think of an example where a new technology was developed and promoted in a worse manner than AI.
