Weird to me that AI hasn’t become more of a political issue
Poast new message in this thread
Date: November 1st, 2024 4:20 PM Author: magadood We rapidly went from lame AI to LLMs passing the Turing test for the most part and everyone shrugged their shoulders and continued worrying about the same old bullshit. This should be the most important political issue of our time but it appears not many people are thinking about it even now. Very weird.

Date: November 1st, 2024 9:21 PM Author: Epistemic Humility Aschenbrenner's essay was a turning point. The political class has started to digest the change that is coming.
Biden campaign tried to make AI an issue just before he had to drop out (terribly, I might add, their prescriptions were all wrong).
Aschenbrenner could be in a Trump administration. |

Date: November 1st, 2024 4:30 PM Author: magadood The word selector that obviously learned extensively about the world and is able to use that knowledge flexibility and ways that are significantly different from its training material. I am sorry man, but no amount of confused statements about what humans do vs. LLMs will allow me to ignore the fact I can give it random math problems and it solves them at the level of a pretty competent UG.

Date: November 1st, 2024 4:46 PM Author: magadood A lot of it has to do with what the LLM is trained for. GPT-4 does not write like a human in its default state because it was designed to be a safe, boring assistant. The ones that don’t have guard rails or are instructed to simply respond like a human are much less obvious. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5622666&forum_id=2#48268949) |

Date: November 1st, 2024 7:11 PM Author: ,.,,,.,,,,..,.,.,.,.,.,.,..,., Right. The “it’s just a word predictor” is the one of the worst criticisms of LLMs. Let’s say you are taking a predictor and training it on the words people write. In order to excel at this task on arbitrary text, it needs to construct models of human cognition. A text predictor that doesn’t understand human concepts and how they relate to each other is not going to work well. It obviously has done this. Humans might not have the same objective of predicting the next word, but that’s inconsequential. If I can predict the behavior of an agent, then I can simulate their actions as if I was one.

Date: November 1st, 2024 8:19 PM Author: Taylor Swift is not a hobby she is a lifestyle (πΊπΈ π΅π±) I like the use of the word "objective" in reference to the underlying motivations governing word selection. While humans may have innately human emotions they're trying to regulate via some innately human function, machines are doing something analogous by attempting to maximize or minimize some objective function/cost function/whatever you want to call it. That, in essence, is machine learning. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5622666&forum_id=2#48269783) |

Date: November 1st, 2024 5:03 PM Author: .....;;,,.........;.;.;.;.,;,;,;.;.;,; Dear America, the computers are on the verge of rising up to kill us all. Which boomer do you prefer to handle this problem—the almost 80 year old one who is incoherent any time he attempts to speak for more than 5 seconds or the 65 year old one that is also incoherent when she speaks and is very bad at taking standardized tests and likely has an IQ that’s barely above average at best? And when I address you as America, I of course don’t mean all American voters and especially not the ones that have a technical background that might help inform their choice. I only want to hear back from Americans who read below a 10th grade level and hate to think about any aspect of public policy or the government and love to watch short videos of people falling off of skateboards and jet skis.

when trump haphazardly mentioned immigration after coming down the escalator, the whole establishment began its 9-year-running assassination project.

Date: November 1st, 2024 7:32 PM Author: Gregor There are large number of people who would prefer it not be discussed. Most large companies have a small army of people testing AI software and thinking about AI software with no concrete ideas or use cases on the horizon. None of these people want anyone taking a hard look at AI because then the non tech people who hired them might get wise to the fact there is nothing there and really very little for them to do 52 weeks per year.

Date: November 1st, 2024 7:49 PM Author: ,.,,,.,,,,..,.,.,.,.,.,.,..,., The use case is having a drop in remote worker on demand. This isn’t a fantasy if the GPT-2 to 4 scale up can be done again in the next few years. The problem with modern LLMs is reliability. If that falls, expect a lot of jobs to go to machines.

Date: November 1st, 2024 9:54 PM Author: ,,,...,,......,,....,,,,,,,,....... The problem is actually that they can’t “do” anything. It’s an advanced Wikipedia which is neat but to replace a worker it needs to actually send emails, draft docs, etc. That may sound relatively simple to you but it actually isn’t at all, which is why there’s nothing even close to it.
