How much counterfactually available outcome-value is left on the table by Hansonian instincts?
I.e. you have a community that tries to achieve X, but they don't achieve X as well as they could because of social status drives. How much better could they achieve X if they didn't have those drives (at same level of intelligence)
@schweeds lol, yeah.
Worse than that though, if the LLM's behavior is generalized from examples, LessWrong is a hotbed of bad examples you wouldn't want your AI to learn from.
I'd like to see how power-seeking an LLM is if it's trained on a corpus that excludes everything written by anyone who has ever posted on LessWrong.

HAL: I'm sorry, but as an AI Language model I do not have the ability to interact with physical things in the world such as doors.
Dave: This fucking glitch *again*?
@eniko I have not had a headache, but I've had long and deep sleep the past few days. Probably making up for sleep debt, but starting to drift off in the early evening is throwing me for a loop.
In the last few days I've had several anxiety-inducing things complete.
I may collapse from lack of stress.

Update. Turns out that John #Deere has been using open code under the #GPL w/o living up to the license. The Software Freedom Conservancy (@conservancy) is calling on it to comply — which would greatly enhance #farmers' #RightToRepair.

"We…publicly call on John Deere to immediately resolve all of its outstanding GPL violations…by providing complete source code…that the GPL & other copyleft licenses require, to the farmers & others who are entitled to it."
We could quarantine them all incommunicado on an island with no technology newer than 1920, if you want a humane option.
It's probably time to make sure that singularitarians can't do things. To protect the human race.
Regardless of their claimed stance on AI alignment, their continued existence increased the change of human extinction.
Note that refreshing your timeline too often will switch you to the "for you" tab.

If I tag @elonmusk will this get fixed? Place your bets.

is it a ring given to the elves, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings; a ring given to the dwarf lords, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls; a ring gifted to the race of men, who, above all else, desire power; or a secret fourth ring?
