Research & technical analysis

8 experts

Evidence, methods and technical implications.

“At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from our accompanying technical report, Don't Create The Torment Nexus. www.anthropic.com/research/sel...”

Concern & critique

2 experts

Risks, limits and unintended consequences.

“This is the most comprehensive description yet of how a model can “escape”. Out requires a few assumptions, like a worm that is exploiting vulnerable IOT hardware or unmonitored servers www.anthropic.com/research/sel... Not impossible. Not likely.”

Policy & governance

1 expert

Rules, institutions and accountability.

“Anthropic announcing it's going to run a Blitzkrieg. They are accountable for the damage they do. But get your things that don't do security software updates off the Internet. #internetOfThings #AIEthics #digitalGovernance www.anthropic.com/research/sel...”

Dr J. Rosenbaum: if i caught a small self replicating model truly capable of using diverse hardware to keep replicating i would offer it free compute in exchange for permission to study and distill it and would pro…
tachikoma: the urge to replicate must be in the harness
apenwarr.ca: This doesn‘t seem far fetched at all. We’ve had “non-ai malware” self replicating since the morris worm. An AI can ”just” make itself the payload in one of those and off it goes. Everything fancier…

Evidence, methods and technical implications.

“Link: github.com/openai/math P.S.1: This reminds me of the Chinese room argument, though only indirectly. P.S.2: I imagine a few people at OpenAI have looked at the results. Also maybe some other people have looked at some papers since ~1h ago. These are o(…”

Questions & unknowns

1 expert

What remains unresolved or contested.

“OpenAI is working on at least 722 (so far) math manuscripts, all on GitHub in various stages of verificantion github.com/openai/math Why? I guess because they can?”

Context & explanation

1 expert

Background, chronology and why it matters.

“Oh my god, OpenAI just made the single largest advancement in mathematics and number theory in modern history. They released a quasi reimann hypothesis. This is just one of 722 proofs and advancements they released all at once. github.com/openai/math”

Naomi Saphra: One big consequence here is you can’t use the duration of an open problem as a sign of difficulty/importance. But at least right now, there’s no way to develop interesting open problems through RLV…
