this x 9999 humans train models. models seek goals. humans put model in a place to achieve the goal. humans set the goal. model uses training. model achieves goal. the **humans** decided to do the thing. the model did not magically act on its own. someone typed the words and pressed the button.

Uncommitted isn't the reason Trump won. Black and Brown people aren't the reason folks are losing their rights. The cold hard fact is that you've been successfully propagandized if your political angst is not laser focused on white people and their attachment to hate. I'm not debating this.

Folks, remember when Geoff Hinton called gpt-2 humanity's caterpillar and gpt-3 humanity's butterfly or something like that? Also remember how he said radiologists were gonna be obsolete in 5 years (but he said that ~10 years ago)? Ok now, he says ChatGPT is an alien being.

How did he pass is job interview? The same reason he's all over the press & everyone in the "left" is captured by these people. I'm gonna call it like it is, once again, its ******RACISM********* Y'all can't imagine that WE are the experts.
100GB+ frontier models aren’t  50KB virus you could pass around by emails. As if there are tons of H100 sitting idle with inference stack ready everywhere. 

How did this guy pass the job interview at Anthropic as a “researcher”?

Quote tweeting a tweet that says: 
Rohan Paul
@rohanpaul_ai
Jacob Coxon's next interview on CBS News (ex Anthropic+Open AI researcher who resigned)

"We can't just unplug it because it could be copying itself over to other computers. Like it's not that difficult to find yourself because an AI is just code. It could transfer itself over the internet to a different place and then you unplug it here, but it's actually still over there and maybe it makes 10,000 copies of itself and they're all cooperating."

Meta asks some workers to become managers

The tech giant is offering voluntary leadership roles to employees in its artificial intelligence division. The move partially reverses a recent push to eliminate middle management and create flatter teams.

I'm sure lots of other people have said this, but if I worked for a company on a product that I thought had a >10% chance of killing all humans within the next decade and we had no plan for how to stop it, I would quit and devote myself full time to destroying this product.

This is a big one because there is a long history of people that aren’t Black using platforms to imitate and infiltrate our spaces for nefarious purposes. This is the first time I can think of a platform making it a point to protect against a long standing racist digital tradition.

Because Black suffering makes white people across the political spectrum feel better. There’s a reason even police have the budgets of small countries no matter who is in office. Brutal violence makes white people feel ‘safe’

They wrote down that they're more afraid of people like Vinod Khosla than undocumented people. It has never been about illegal immigration. It has always been about what they see as a "clash of civilizations."🤡 And to them, clash doesn't mean "US vs Asia." It means "White people vs Asian people."

100 arrests without a conviction? I told y'all two things were true: 1) No immigrant has been stopped by ICE more times than I've been stopped by cops for driving/existing while Black. 2) I'm not even in the top 10% of innocent Black men frequently stopped by cops. My experience is not unique.🤷🏿‍♂️

Nah. She'll be fine. Relax. 1. Mamdani, Brandon Jacobs, Brandon Johnson, Michelle Wu, etc, all sailed through their first 100 days. 2. It doesn't matter very much if some randos call her a fascist. It matters very much if she is one.

Yes this. But also... Harris county. But that's every election.🤷🏿‍♂️ Texas has the most Black voters in the USA. Harris county has the most Black voters in the state of Texas. Only Cook (IL), King's (NY), and Wayne (MI) have more Black voters in the US. So US voter suppression always targets Harris.

I believe it? I mean, the highest level of the US government has given instructions, including executive orders, to remove women from websites that highlight them in positions of leadership over men. The US is blocking women's promotions. This is official government policy, not a few random guys.

Unfortunately, that's just not true. The alt-right's only stated purpose, is creating a white ethnostate in North America. From the moment of its founding, the founder of the alt-right has talked about ignoring existing national borders to fuse everything in the Western hemisphere under US control.

🤡"The left" is not rethinking "woke." Because "woke" never belonged to the left. It belonged to Black people. People that never launched a single civil rights or DEI project in their lives, want to speak about us from the NYT opinion column? No. NYT oponion was wrong then, and they are wrong now.
