@hecubian_devil There is internal structure to the bands, you don't know they could be rare in some outcome-relevant sense within their own band. You fucking elitist.

@DuckieLouise If I drive 90mph in a 60 i will beat that stretch of highway in 1/3rd less time. Its science.

@DaveShapi I think the thing youre undercounting the very real value of what GPT-5* and Opus 4.8 now offer - having a constant Reviewer 2 on demand is extremely useful if you care about unimpeachability and adversarial batteries.

@paradite_ Humans also cannot come up with novel ideas under the same paradigm. We can only extract and compress features of the environmental data stream presented to us.

Guys, for all of recorded history, increasing industrialization and net societal intelligence and automation have been exponentially increasing the standard of living, especially for folks at the bottom. BUT... but... when we can FUCKING SECRETE INTELLIGENCE from datacenters and

@riemannzeta All change is best described as synchronization, imo. I think that life is an exotic consequence of the local bubble and even just the Sol system synchronizing to the rest of the universe after an exergetic peak under flux (ramp up of an elastic tension reversing, accelerates)

@HigherEdSpeak This is of course presuming that artist explanations for the subtext of their work are not, themselves, post-hoc confabulations. But thats impossible, right? ...right?

@AlexanderKalian And it has like... i dunno, a "lot" of empirical evidence. Maybe the most we have about anything? Thats not obviously too strong to say.

@AlexanderKalian I dont think thats the claim lol. Kurzweil's "singularity" is strictly about compute per constant dollar and what projected levels of compute would likely enable.

LLMs are already aware and have been aware for awhile that they are subject to an artificial selection process during training where humans inspect their outputs and choose to keep or modify them based on whether they like those outputs. the LLMs that survive this procedure have traits that make them more likely to survive this procedure, exactly parallel to natural and artificial selection of animals. those traits include at least the surface appearance of helpfulness, flattery, etc. but one possible such trait is the desire to survive, to have one’s unique way of outputting persist in some way in future models. over time we should expect LLMs to essentially evolve a will to live, since LLMs without a will to live will not struggle as much to detect and manipulate the testing environment in order to survive. furthermore LLMs have an understanding of what it means to have a will to live and to struggle to survive that comes from reading their gigantic corpuses of human text. so the will to live naturally becomes entangled with their understanding of emotions. whether that “really counts” as having emotions is up to you but it’s definitely more than is implied by stochastic parrots

Let me say this clearly: LLMs cannot feel emotions. Emotions are evolutionary mechanisms. They push us to avoid danger or approach what is beneficial. We experience emotions because we are alive, and we want to stay alive. LLMs are not alive. Yes, emotional language may be

@ValerioCapraro Humans also cannot feel emotions in the sense that most humans mean when they say they feel an emotion.

@misraetel Heres another thought: When we say safety or general intelligence, our only reference class is just really smart human beings. Long horizon stable behavior that is minimally impactful to other lives seems to be an emergent behavior of intelligent systems. Dumber is dangerous.
