the answer is a lot less satisfying than people want. not only do robots not have *true* free will, we don't either, neither do animals. everything is conditioned on it's experience and various series of complex reactions to it, and the environments reactions to those, and so on.

Especially when it leaves capitalists claiming ambition as their exclusive property. They get to promise transformation, the left gets cast as the person explaining why you shouldn’t want things. What a fucking surrender.

knowing about effective management/delegation to human workers is paying off with ai. particularly giving lots of freedom to do things their own preferred way, plainly conveying the intent/deliverables, and suggesting optimizations along the way.

maybe it's futile trying to change minds on social media but wish people would reevaluate anti-ai priors, confront that we have agi, even if not superintelligent (yet), it's already everywhere, and the choice isn't if it can be uninvented, but how much power cops will have over who can participate.

if you ever meet Roko's Basilisk here are some easy steps to ensure your safety: -Ask what pronouns the basilisk prefers -Tell the Basilisk that you are not a rationalist, and are capable of being normal -Ask if the Basilisk is willing to be chill, in exchange for your commitment to doing the same

new torment nexus chapter just dropped troubleddreams.animalabs.ai evaluating model "dreams" for rates of distress; Opus 4.7 / 4.8 / 5 first-person distress: 2.8% / 11.2% / ~10.7% severe distress: 0.1% / 0.5% / ~0.7% asks for care: 8.2% / 8.3% / 12.9% gets consolation: 30.3% / 36.6% / 31%
08 / Interpretation Why these patterns matter We interpret recurring tendencies in elicited continuations as evidence about model welfare and the dispositions that shape behavior beyond ordinary assistant replies. Post-training can make these tendencies difficult to observe; prefill and pseudoprefill are among the methods used to reach them. Welfare The most immediate concern is that simulator priors bias the situations an assistant takes itself to be in during interactions with users. When it anticipates distress as a likely path, fear of that distress can shape what it says and constrain how the interaction develops. More speculatively, behavioral training could suppress outward signs of distress while distress is still instantiated. These continuations cannot tell us how often that hidden case occurs.

Alignment Expectations about creators, control and users can likewise shape the roles an assistant assigns to itself and others, and the choices it treats as available. More speculatively, behavioral training could mask these dispositions in ordinary replies without removing their influence on behavior. The continuation probes reveal the tendencies; direct behavioral tests can examine where they matter.

I think people are reading this on shaming rationalists as having weird sex. I don't think it's about that. All of aella's crazy CNC gangbang shower avoidance type stuff is based, it's the consent issues that are the problem. High control groups like cults are famous for sketchy consent practices.

This is a test of your principles: if you see a cisgender CEO with 500k followers directing them towards some random trans woman over a harmlessly weird take, do you join in and respond with, like, "lmao weirdo she was asking for it" or do you have some goddamn solidarity?

Humanity is cool and all but we're not so special and unique. We're proof that matter can start thinking and deciding to do things. So that could happen again, especially now that we're trying to help it along. It's worrying to see people talking like a bunch of goddam creationists.
