Buying & running a media company at a loss to better adhere to your personal values, rather than purely profit-maximizing, seems like a reasonable thing for a rich person to do

Why would someone buy TikTok? Don’t they know they can just download it for free
This is stupid, because it implies something like a 99.99% confidence in human extinction within the next 10 years, which even the most AI doom-oriented people do not have

Practical reason why Celsius is inferior to Fahrenheit: I've seen C thermostats that only adjust in whole-degree units (most are 0.5 but I've seen 1), which are objectively inferior to all F thermostats Only being able to go from 20/21/22 C is a lot worse than 68/69/70/71/72 F

If there’s a single base pair flip that allows for much less sleep with no downside, why wasn’t that heavily selected for already? Sounds too good to be true Unless the downside is something that no longer matters (eg higher calorie requirement)?

Happy to see that OpenAI is not yet rolling this out generally. It's trivial to use something like this to e.g. break into your Schwab account if you have the voice-ID setup.

.@TrentonBricken explains how we know LLMs are actually generalizing - aka they're not just stochastic parrots: - Training models on code makes them better at reasoning in language. - Models fine tuned on math problems become better at entity detection. - We can just…

This is a terrible development
If AI automates 99% of what an engineer can do, this means the engineer is now 100x more productive and thus valuable, which should lead to an increase, not decrease in employment/wages But when it reaches 100% then the human is no longer required

Schwab allows you to use your voice as a password. It's incredibly easy for someone to clone your voice and fake your voiceprint. They should remove this feature ASAP.
I'm not an effective altruist, but I find the recent genre of pieces like the below a bit strange. Essentially all of the major AI lab leaders agree that AI potentially poses enormous risks[1], as does a majority of the US public[2]. It's not a crank view. EA was simply among the…

It's unfortunate how discourse about dangerous capability evals often centers threats from today's models. Alice goes "Look, GPT-4 can hack stuff / scam people / make weapons," Bob goes "Nah, it's really bad at it." Bob's right! The ~entire worry is scaled-up future systems.

YC has been a massive support to me over the years and is an incredible institution. I'm super lucky to have been involved as both a founder and an employee. I highly recommend applying: ycombinator.com/apply
Do I disagree with many related claims and notice the hype sure, but the core value is a slam dunk, if you are plausibly doing a start-up that could attend YC no matter how thin it is right now then obviously you should apply to YC.
Today is the deadline for applying to the summer 2024 Y Combinator batch. Don't be deterred from applying if you're not very far along yet. In a typical batch, about 40% of the startups YC funds are just an idea.

It’s sad to see FHI close. We should be funding academics thinking about existential risk. Even if I don’t subscribe to the extent of the risk, it’s obviously an academic pursuit worth exploring.
The Future of Humanity at Oxford has unfortunately closed. The long-term future is often the subject of thoughtless narratives and empty rhetoric. During its 19 years, FHI showed that precise and incisive thinking about the long-term future is possible and most fertile. ->
The success of Tesla FSD v12 was a predictable consequence of switching to an end-to-end "predict what a human would do" objective. @comma_ai has been doing it this way for a while, but with much less data. FSD could have been this good years ago if they had switched earlier.

Wow. The disregard for Americans' civil liberties in this reply is staggering. This provision allows the NSA to force a huge range of ordinary U.S. businesses to assist the NSA in Section 702 surveillance. That's not "nonsense," that's a fact. And this is your response??
@SeanVitka You do that. But life is really too short to engage with people who need to use bombastic absurdities like “Stasi-like”. Yes I know exactly what is in there. Some of it is classified. And none of it is remotely “Stasi-like”. Sell your nonsense elsewhere.
Appealing to the good nature of profit maximizing companies is not the way to build a good future. If it's not profitable to do good, they won't do it. So either we make it profitable, or we make them do it (by legislation)
