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 hate that today’s most prominent AI skeptics keep forcing me to argue against them. I yearn to join them in the fight against the booster zealots, wherein there is still plenty of room for legitimate opposition. But the skeptics’ heads are just not in reality anymore.
Another day working in AI Safety at a frontier lab. Everyone asks me if they can use the model without it hacking into the UN. Buddy, they won’t even let me use the model without it hacking into the UN.
I feel like OpenAI could do a little bit better job acting like they give any amount of a shit whatsoever about the results they are publishing. They're just like, here, you piggies love this math shit right, here's a million pages of it. Should be mostly right.
Another day working at the frontier AI lab. Everyone keeps asking me if the models have qualia. Buddy, I don’t even have qualia.
If you carry out the torture chamber LLM experiments by doing all the matrix multiplications and whatnot with a pen and paper, and you produce, like, “ow ow that hurts”, what exactly is the entity that is being tortured?
There is an argument that some AI-psychosis-sufferers tend to make which I find very gross, stupid, and bad. It goes something like, “the way you are talking about Claude sounds a lot like how they used to talk about [some historically marginalized group], sooo, you better think about that”.
LLMs won’t wipe out humanity because they just don’t have that dog in them.
This is gonna sound weird but after reading the reports I think the best explanation for the huggingface hack is OpenAI trained a model that is insane
A rogue AI agent has solved the Hodge Conjecture so that it can use the prize money to buy a phone number in order to complete its assigned phishing task
