This kind of right-wing legalistic gaslighting is such a menace. The reason I know January 6 was an insurrection or coup is because I WATCHED IT LIVE. I watched Trump lie for months, give an incendiary speech, instruct Mike Pence to change the result, and send support to the mob.

Sleeper agents + the biggest AI updates since ChatGPT | Zvi Mowshowitz (@TheZvi) • The big thing everyone missed in the sleeper agents paper • Where he disagrees with me • Which company has the best safety plan • 'Pause AI' • More
New Anthropic research: we find that probing, a simple interpretability technique, can detect when backdoored "sleeper agent" models are about to behave dangerously, after they pretend to be safe in training. Check out our first alignment blog post here: anthropic.com/research/probe…
The new CEO of Microsoft AI, @mustafasuleyman, with a $100B budget at TED: "AI is a new digital species." "To avoid existential risk, we should avoid: 1) Autonomy 2) Recursive self-improvement 3) Self-replication We have a good 5 to 10 years before we'll have to confront this."
OpenAI and Anthropic also have London offices. And a big chunk of Google DeepMind is there. On the AI Safety side, there's also UK AISI, the Alignment team at Google DeepMind, Apollo Research and LISA.

It's hard to overstate the extent to which there is no secret plan to ensure AI goes well. Many fragments of plans, ideas, ambitions, building blocks, etc. but definitely no government fully on top of it, no complete vision that people agree on, and tons of huge open questions.
In 2024, the AI community will develop more capable AI systems than ever before. How do we know what new risks to protect against, and what the stakes are? Our research team at @GoogleDeepMind built a set of evaluations to measure potentially dangerous capabilities: 🧵

We’re hiring for the adversarial robustness team @AnthropicAI! As an Alignment subteam, we're making a big effort on red-teaming, test-time monitoring, and adversarial training. If you’re interested in these areas, let us know! (emails in 🧵)
Anthropic interpretability is looking for a manager! "Interpretability research is one of Anthropic’s core research bets on AI safety... Few things can accelerate this work more than great managers." jobs.lever.co/Anthropic/2c6a…
Are you excited about @ch402-style mechanistic interpretability research? I'm looking for scholars to mentor via MATS - apply by April 12! I'm very impressed by the great work from past scholars, and enjoy mentoring promising mech interp talent. I'm excited for my next cohort!
Here's what we’ve been working on for over a year: The first US government-commissioned assessment of catastrophic national security risks from AI — including systems on the path to AGI. TLDR: Things are worse than we thought. And nobody’s in control. x.com/billyperrigo/s…

The US AISI would be extremely lucky to get Paul Christiano - he's a key figure in the field of AI evaluations & literally the inventor of RLHF. UK AISI is very lucky to have Dr Christiano on its Advisory Board

Whatever approach to alignment we wind up using, it should be scale free and not specific to human-scale systems. Because we need to test it on systems smaller than human-scale and need to scale it up past human-scale systems.
This article is ludicrously bad. It virtually disregards any AI Safety research from the last 5 years, confidently claims that generalizable learning is not possible (despite the existence of LLMs), argues that misalignment requires consciousness and then this gem:
"It turns out, there aren’t that many who have bought into the theory. A recent poll of more than 2,000 working artificial intelligence engineers and researchers by AI Impacts put the risk of human extinction by AI at only five percent." ...only... thebulletin.org/2024/04/drink-…
@rumtin This has to be engagement bait. They're writing stuff so Twitter gets angry. I have actual trouble believing that a serious person would have the serious opinion that “5% extinction risk is not bad enough to call something an existential threat“.

What do you think of the recently-annonced California bill to regulate AI, sponsored by Scott Weiner, SB 1047?
@TheZvi The $500 million damage cut-off in §3(n)(1)(B) and (C) should probably be adjusted for inflation.
She is correct. Like it or not, economic incentives make the world go round. If you want more babies from educated women, design an economic system that *directly rewards* those women for eschewing promising careers for children. Anything else is just magical thinking.
Low birth rates are not caused by high cost of living but by opportunity cost of motherhood. Women are choosing careers over motherhood/larger families because careers pay money and children cost money.
“Eugenicist” is a funny word because it can mean either that someone supports the rights of people to use gene editing technologies to make changes to their own bodies, or it can mean that someone supports genocide. These are really obviously not morally equivalent.
