Perhaps the best way to stop people from engaging in magical thinking about AI behavior is to stop them from engaging in magical thinking about human behavior. It's hard to have a serious, productive conversation if we insist on pretending any of this is magic.
People feel very threatened if you try to take away the thing they use to differentiate themselves from rocks.
People feel very threatened if you try to take away the thing they use to differentiate themselves from rocks.
A big bunch of nails in the coffin of the idea that open source AI models are more dangerous than closed ones. And a huge warning to regulators who are on the way to throw the AI baby with the regulatory bath water. What has been happening since the release of Llama-2 is an…

That swing-catch in the beginning is nuts.
I've seen a few claims along the lines of "AI safety orgs haven't ever tried to ban *current* open-source LLMs, just hypothetical super-dangerous future ones." As far as I can tell this claim is totally false. I provide evidence in this post. 1a3orn.com/sub/machine-le…

the ultimate artistic freedom to make fool of yourself
There appears to be a mismatch between publishing criteria in AI conferences and "what actually works". It is easy to publish new mathematical constructs (e.g. new models, new layers, new modules, new losses), but as Apple's MM1 paper concludes: 1. Encoder Lesson: Image…
"Is this behavior emergent or does it come from the data?" is not a debate we should be having. All emergent behavior comes from the data. It's true of humans and it's true of AI. None of us has ever magically pulled anything out of the ether.
We do care about useful, novel insights. But these aren't divorced from the data - they extend the data using information that exists within it. I don't think AI will ever do anything that can't be learned from its training data. But then again, neither did Einstein or Mozart.
Perhaps the best way to stop people from engaging in magical thinking about AI behavior is to stop them from engaging in magical thinking about human behavior. It's hard to have a serious, productive conversation if we insist on pretending any of this is magic.
@Dorialexander And steering vectors. People are starting to wake up on them, but many just don't get how powerful they are - isolate and augment the specific activations for your tasks, or suppress unwanted ones. And then there's memit, still being slept on. There's SO much you can do local

We also made a similar transition to ROS-free. The non-obvious thing is that modern NN models (BC policies, VLMs, LLMs) breaks the abstraction of ROS modules. Raw sensory stream instead of state estimation, actions instead of plans, etc. Need new ROS for the next-gen modules.
Interesting (and sad) result here; I really had hoped more people would be able to just run with ROS2. But it seems like it's not quite there, if this is in any way worth doing for a small company/fast-moving startup that should be the target audience.
