Any time somebody proposes an alignment solution that says "train an LLM to output..." I suggest substituting the phrase "hire an actress to pretend..." and check if the alignment plan would still make sense.

are you in molecular biology and which do you thing is heavier- mRNA or the protein it codes for?

RT @nearcyan
so, Microsoft rushed a ship of the most powerful AI model ever exposed to end-users,

having done very little red-teaming or testing,

which was blatantly and aggressively misaligned and manipulative,

and for the openly-stated purpose of forcing competitors to speed up AI 1/N

Was hanging out with me bro SK last night. He made a video of the funny crap I said after telling my advisor I quit.

Now what I'm terrified of is, the medium crazy only lasting a few months before the total insanity ensues

To be clear, we can't rule out a fast takeoff yet. But it sure seems like the evidence has been pushing against it.

But crucial to remember that when people say "slow takeoff" they usually mean "you get a few years of the world being medium crazy before it gets totally crazy".

Just told my PhD advisor I'm going to need a break / quit. Don't have anybody to blame now if the problems I work on aren't interesting / important.

Lmao "Welcome to the Arts District! Do not enter the arts district without a warband! Maintain constant threat awareness! Plan your extraction prior to entering the arts zone & anticipate hostile infiltration of exfil vehicles! Arts district ROE prohibit contact with locals!"

It's super awkward and weird at first but sometimes it really does work. I made quite a few friends who are women and learned a bunch about their perspectives by just projecting "I am listening and I don't want to fuck" HARD.

Oh boy it's time to go to some event with women participating and hang on to every word a woman says while conspicuously not hitting on her

@seconds_0 definitely useful, but just like ordinary pornography, if it’s the only source of your ideas about how things work, you’ll be in for a rude awakening

the best way to understand women is and always will be to become friends with them and talk to them about their lives
