Had Astra design me a pinball table based on the ideas of Nikolai Fyodorov with the "saints" proposed by @eudoxia.bsky.social and am going to see if it can turn it into a playable game.

New from me: why ASI is not inevitable. borretti.me/article/on-i...

A screenshot of this text: Ok, so maybe we replace “inevitable” with “n-inevitable” where n is some number of years. This is a bit better. So you might say: “AGI is 5-inevitable and ASI is 10-inevitable”. Now, is this true?

No. We are not in the “seed AI in a basement” timeline, where a lone genius who finds the right algorithm can build and run an ASI on a single-core laptop. There are de facto two frontier AI companies, both in the same city, and they have to spend astronomical quantities of money, hundreds of billions of dollars, to push the frontier of AI slightly forward. And the set of people who can push the frontier is so small that they constantly jump ship from one company to the other: from DeepMind to OpenAI to Anthropic, and back again. The timeline of methods is the same: in 2020-2023, everyone was scaling pretraining; in 2022-2023, everyone was doing instruction finetuning and RLHF; then in 2023-2024, synthetic data started working and later reasoning models; since then the focus has been on RL. The same companies, people, ideas, methods, and paradigm. And these companies have little political power with which to oppose regulation.

How can the inevitable be so centralized?

I disagree with calling with Promethean. Building AGIs to become our descendants is like Prometheus stealing fire from humanity and giving it to the gods.

I don't care about meaning. The problem is disempowerment. And it matters when you go from "some people understand things" to "nobody understands anything" because the people who understand things are humans you can negotiate with.

The point is not to show off I've accepted the inevitable but rather to convince people the implications of this technology will be bad for the world. The more people are awake, the more they will demand political change.
