A key feature of copaganda is that police and the news media attempt to use crises to increase the size, power, and profit of the punishment and surveillance bureaucracies. This has long been one of the creepiest things about it. They don’t let a good crisis go to waste.

Ok, here's something I learned in high school humanities: As long as people believe that they have redress for injustice, either through courts or through political action (like voting), the people will choose nonviolent options. 🧵

Entropy is one of those formulas that many of us learn, swallow whole, and even use regularly without really understanding. (E.g., where does that “log” come from? Are there other possible formulas?) Yet there's an intuitive & almost inevitable way to arrive at this expression.

This is a great paper. It points out: 1. Humans do not even approximately behave according to rational choice theory 2. There is no reason to think advanced AI will "inevitably" maximize some utility function 3a. Human preferences are derivative / constructed, so aligning AI by…

Great thread. In a similar vein, I'm gonna take this opportunity to take this hot, controversial & incredibly politicised topic to make a couple of points about measurement theory (which usually makes people go to sleep). 1/

One reason I'm excited about the Llama 3 paper is we finally have a description of what you need to do to get an LLM to reason sort-of well (human supervision, symbolic methods in post-training). GPT-4 and co. do not show that reasoning "emerges from distributional learning".

Fellow researchers, just had a series of eye-opening emails with our grants/contracts/legal ppl about applying for OpenAI's Superalignment grant openai.com/blog/superalig… It appears @OpenAI 's terms are not aligned with the kind of contract public institutions can enter into.

“in 2022 the article total was 47% higher than in 2016. Thus, publication workload per scientist (writing, reviewing, editing) has increased dramatically. We define this problem as the strain on scientific publishing. Such exponential growth cannot be sustained”
