what people call "rationalists" are like if you made a single religious category out of satanism, judaism, and mormonism and didn't include or know about christians

I imagine it would probably be different if the money was on the table for me in a real way but I really do think I'd walk away from a pretty large amount of money not to have to go along with something as fucking stupid as this renaming

“the person who is CEO at the time a company goes public will, until their death, have sole power over company decisions, regardless of how much investment they have taken from the public” was just never how any of this was intended to work and it is a catastrophe for corporate governance

In tech there are multiple professional titles you can hold for the job of essentially figuring out how to describe the work as a collection of discrete tasks. People get certificates and diplomas in this and put them in their LinkedIns bios.

I think if you meaningfully punish OpenAI & co for all of these cyberattacks then they will stop doing them. Whether or not you want to anthropomorphize the agents, you gotta just land there.

I see people putting AI in the same bucket as NFTs (speculative technology that will go away when the bubble pops), but I think the internet is the better comp. Sure there's some early bubble-y activity, but the underlying technology is real it's going to dramatically change things.
Hand-drawn Venn diagram titled "Bubbles," with four overlapping circles: Beanie Babies, AI, NFTs, and Dot-com.

Each alone: "Gamble on plushies!" / "Gamble on LLMs!" / "Gamble on JPEGs!" / "Gamble on HTML!"

Beanie Babies + AI: "The products tend to have cutesy first names."
Beanie Babies + NFTs: "Who will own the rarest fake monkey?"
AI + Dot-com: "Genuinely important underlying technology."
NFTs + Dot-com: "This URL could be worth millions!"

Every bubble but Dot-com: "Mostly in private markets."
Every bubble but NFTs: "Good people got hurt."
Every bubble but AI: "Never threatened life as we know it."
Every bubble but Beanie Babies: "Blame Silicon Valley."

All four: "Somebody got rich, but probably not you."

Jensen is probably the most Jobs-like CEO left in the industry, in that he has a completely monomaniacal focus on producing and selling more GPUs no matter what. Things which are not relevant to that goal, such as knowing where you live, are discarded to fit more GPU sales ideas in his brain.

It is no coincidence that rationalists and EAs tend to be straight white guys from well-off families, because for everybody else, the world usually conspires to knock some sense into you about your inherent god-emperor genius by the time you’re old enough to drink.

there are lots of plausible AI risks, I don't think any of them involve emergent machine gods, and the superintelligence bullshit mostly avoids talking about regulation and handling of the real problems.

Absolutely one of the most under-known facts about OpenAI was that chatgpt was like a weird little side project, a proof of concept for their LLM technology, and when it blew up, they made the debatable but probably (from a business PoV) correct decision to toss everything else and go all-in on that

one really important fact that I think a lot of people who aren't super close to this stuff don't realize is that transformers/LLMs were NOT what OpenAI et. seq. (taking Anthropic as an OpenAI spinoff) were founded to work on, and were developed elsewhere. Caught them largely by surprise.

humanity would be massively uplifted if every frontier llm was open weights. the labs do not do this because when their execs talk about wanting to uplift humanity they are ascribing themselves motives quite different from the ones that actually drive their choices

im increasingly an llm metaphor maximalist. anthropomorphization, spicy autocomplete, shoggoth with a smiley, stochastic parrot... it's all kinda right and kinda wrong. we dont have many good ways of understanding what these are and metaphoric (even exaggerated) comparisons help us grasp them!
