don’t mind me… just hanging with my friends building this paper from 1968 tinyurl.com/unn5rh3x @openminedorg @GoogleDeepMind @OxfordUni

Embedded AI evaluators have a scale problem, because it's expensive, time-consuming, and risky to bring too many people into each AI company's office/infra. Here's a solution to that problem This solution is based on ~9 yrs of R&D and pilots with X, DeepMind, Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, LinkedIn, Reddit, DailyMotion, the United Nations and others.
Most external AI evaluation programs hit the same ceiling: the access model wasn't designed to scale. PySyft can split evaluation into three roles. An embedded evaluator writes a reusable job against real model assets. An internal reviewer approves it. External researchers receive filtered outputs without ever touching the underlying data or going through a new approval cycle. Our approach: openmined.org/blog/scale-emb…

heard a great talk on friday about AI consciousness from jaron lanier. his point was that it's impossible to prove that another person is conscious... it's not a scientifically verifiable fact that anyone other than yourself is conscious...

he finished by pointing out that it's become taboo to speak about AI in a direction that isn't putting faith in their imminent consciousness. and that this is a big problem, because it's not being driven by scientific inquiry, but by other forces which offer some negative externalities.

anyway, very thought provoking talk.

🚨 OBAMA ON AI: "If we are thinking about AI just in terms of how do we cure cancer or get better energy, you can do that without having agentic AI and having it just roaming free in the internet. The reason you are doing that is because you have to market a product that people will pay money for. That’s a misalignment between what our society needs and the commercial imperatives that these companies are facing, not because necessarily they’re trying to do bad things, but because they’ve got to justify these valuations. So, that’s one more reason why it is really important for us to have a competent government and a serious bipartisan conversation around this issue, and we have to do it fast. And I would encourage voters to pay attention to this. If somebody does not have a serious plan for how to deal with this, then they’re not meeting the moment, and you should probably look for somebody else."

it's pretty hard for any risk to be existential if there isn't first a concentration of power large enough to end humanity if you want to minimize existential risks, a pretty good strategy is to focus your efforts on mitigating any extreme concentration of power.

once you've looked closely enough at what's going on here (primer: attribution-based-control.ai), i think you might also develop this same deep sense of optimism... that maximal AI capability is actually at odds with centralization

and if you develop that deep sense of optimism... one's intuitions as to how to mitigate extreme AI risks change dramatically. they did for me anyway.

the AI safety community has probably made a mistake in avoiding a partnership with the pro-copyright crowd. i've asked many in the community why they don't pursue it... and i never get a good answer.

it's hard to speculate on why the AI safety community has avoided this strategy. my guess is that AI safety also has other strategies deployed which would conflict with this... namely trying to convince the AI companies to be pro safety. this requires them to play challenging status games and to pick their battles.

nevertheless, the same community can pursue multiple strategies which contradict each other. but it would require a group of folks to defect from the status game playing side (which has nice perks like salary and prestige) to join complex legal proceedings.
