big cyber noggin? @Soyweiser@awful.systems
Hi, Iām Eric and I work at a big chip company making chips and such! I do math for a job, but itās cold hard stochastic optimization that makes people who know names like Tychonoff and Sylow weep.
My pfp is Hank Azaria in Heat, but you already knew that.

Itās joever semiconductor bros ;_;
itās a compliment boo š <3 u habibi
Smh, why do I feel like I understand the theology of their dumb cult better than its own adherents? If you believe that one day AI will foom into a 10 trillion IQ super being, then it makes no difference at all whether your ai safety researcher has 200 IQ or spends their days eating rocks like the average LW user.
Strange, they didnāt count the number of utils I get by voting for Kamala just to make these bastards mald
it was a rough week for me too! the wife and I have been battling covid, think we are through the worst of it though.
Morning lads, letās have a big week šŖ
Also, choice sneer in the comments:
AlphaProof is more āAlphaZero doing self play against Leanā and less āGemeni reading human proofsā
āmanual translationā undoubtably doing some heavy lifting here
oh no i just learned something new about my wife
the wife sent this one to me
Azure/AWS/other cloud computing services that host these models are absolutely going to continue to make money hand over fist. But if the bottleneck is the infrastructure, then whatās the point of paying an entire team of engineers 650K a year each to recreate a model thatās qualitatively equivalent to an open-source model?
Yann and co. just dropped llama 3.1. Now thereās an open source model on par with OAI and Anthropic, so who the hell is going to pay these nutjobs for access to their apis when people can get roughly the same quality for free without the risk of having to give your data to a 3rd party?
These chuckle fucks are cooked.
the removal of undesirable elements from society
Let me guess who gets to decide what qualifies as undesirable
Thanks for the info. I had never heard of this one before & didnāt know I was shit posting on behalf of Thielās ilk ;_;
Article summary:
A close look into the people and entities who helped draft and advocate for Californiaās controversial AI safety bill (SB 1047) reveals that one of the billās co-sponsors could have a significant conflict of interest Dan Hendrycks, an executive at Center for AI Safety ā the firm whose lobbying arm helped draft the bill ā co-founded a company called Gray Swan that offers AI safety compliance tools that seem positioned to provide the type of auditing data the bill would require; Gray Swan publicly launched on Tuesday The Centerās lobbying arm was set up so it could help draft SB 1047 after state senator Scott Wiener approached the Center
Humans canāt beat AI at Go, aside from these exploits
kek, reminds me of when I was a wee one and Iād 0 to death chain grab someone in smash bros. The lads would cry and gnash their teeth about how I was only winning b.c. of exploits. My response? Just donāt get grabbed. Iād advise āsuperhumanā Go systems to do the same. Donāt want to get cheesed out of a W? Then donāt use a strat thatās easily countered by monkey brains. And as far as designing an adversarial system to find these āexploitsā, who the hell cares? Thereās no magic barrier between internalized and externalized cognition.
Just get good bruv.
This is literally the dumbest shit Iāve read all week and itās been a pretty dumb week. Iām afraid I have to diagnose Roko with having the brain scamblies. There is no cure.
Some āscientistsā cough Yud/Rob/Kokotajlo cough believe in FOOM. Anyways, letās not question this fundamental assumption so we can engage in fear baiting and mental masturbation for the remainder of our show. Itās bonkers that people keep citing Kokotajlo as an AI researcher, like, I have serious doubts this man knows what a computer is. Pretty good at grifting though. Also why is Rob Miles still listed as a PhD student. Like cant he hurry up and fuckin graduate already? Christ.
As an aside, I remember watching a PBS space time and seeing sponsored by Open Philanthropy (or some other EA organization) and I was like no not my beloved PBS!! I know it feels :(
