This. Hoping we can control superintelligent AI when we have no experience controlling superintelligent AIs is like hoping you can invent automobiles and never ever have any wreck, not even once. Because if you wreck--if your super AI escapes long enough to establish itself--then it's game over for humanity.

I agree, but also: open source isn't really a viable concept for frontier AI models. You can't release the training data because it undoubtedly contains unsavory, politically-misaligned, copyrighted, and illegal content: you'd drown in p.r. and legal problems. And on the recipient side, nobody can afford billions of dollars of GPUs to make their own fork.

This reminds me of a case where a British court and an American court each ordered litigants not to litigate a case in the other's court.This was in law school decades ago and I'm too lazy to look it up, but it's the same kind of issue where if you want to do business in either country you can get easily screwed.

Comment Re:I can explain away Dark Matter/Energy in 4 word (Score 1) 87

There are corrections to gravity that include the current size of the Universe as s term that gives extremely small differences in calculations but explains most observations.

It has a certain allure from an Information Theory perspective and is extremely parsimonious in ask.

But funding is for finding wimps and axons and evidence of mysteries that use the old equations so you are called crazy if your simple theory threatens that gravy train.

Some people say useful physics is too dangerous to fund and we're better off wasting time and money.

Twenty years ago Dark Energy seemed like a good idea to me. So did Supersymmetry. Most new ideas that can be tested and used or disproved probably should be. That LHC found no Supersymmetric pairs is a good thing.

Comment Re:Jimmy should ask him who bankrolled Talarico. (Score 1) 267

According to a report I heard yesterday Talarico has 50x the cash of Paxton and it's the Bush politicial machine that is funding him.

The situation was similar in the primary but the base favored Paxton over Cornin by such a huge margin that the spend didn't matter.

The dual state people hate Paxton so much they have been after him for years.

It's populists vs. oligarchs in most races where party affiliation is a distant second to the money machine.

Since Trump ran on populism but then did a 180 with Judas knives out for his "former supporters" the odds of any Republican getting elected anywhere but an R+20 are extremely thin regardless of warchest.

DC's interference in free elections is gross but it probably won't matter on Election Day.

Impeachments of officials over FCC actions are quite likely at this point.

No, actually. The amount raised so far is $1.2 million. And the money hours to her parents for (purportedly) the living expenses they have incurred in relocating to Massachusetts to attend the legal proceedings, not to Lindsay herself.

This whole thing is being spun as if liberal women support the atrocious death of those three kids. They don't. Don't fall for rage bait.

"You're folding it wrong," obviously.

Perhaps Tim Apple had the sense to get out ahead of this.

Happy to be proven wrong! That would be amazing engineering and might actually allow the rollable Global to come to fruition.

But since everybody who has claimed to have perfected the engineering hasn't actually done so one should be cautious on such investments.

I call it a long cut (as in the opposite of a short cut)

I call it the indirector's cut. Not saying it's a good joke, but that's what I do.
For comparison, my Hyundai EV, when I plug it in at home, says "Charging started." So if I time it right I can say "Iiiii've plugged it in, so you'd better get this.." "charging started." It's a guaranteed groan if someone witnesses it.
