Next Sunday when I go to my EA priest's group home, I will admit to having invoked the chain rule to compute a gradient 1 trillion times since my last confessional. For this I will do penance for the 8 trillion future lives I have snuffed out and whose utility has been consumed by the basilisk.
Me: Oh boy, I can't wait to see what my favorite thinkers of the EA movement will come up with this week :)
Text from Geoff: "Morally stigmatize AI developers so they considered as socially repulsive as Nazi pedophiles. A mass campaign of moral stigmatization would be more effective than any amount of regulation. "
Another rationalist W: don't gather empirical evidence that AI will soon usurp / exterminate humanity. Instead as the chief authorities of morality, engage in societal blackmail to anyone who's ever heard the words TensorFlow.

@self@awful.systems I can post images again! Behold: my wife’s dog in a silly hat
thinking about quitting my day job and following my dream of taking pictures of dogs with a fisheye lens
My father-in-law is a hoarder of both physical and digital things. His house is filled with hard drives where he has like stored copies of every movie ever made as mp4s and then he sends the drives to us because he has no physical space for them since he has junk from like 30 years ago piling up in the living room. So now my house is filled with random ass hard drives of (definitely not pirated) movies.
I knew there was a reason I couldnt part with my CD tower.
It's just pure grift, they’ve creating an experiment with an outcome that tells us no new information. Even if models stop 'improving' today, it's a static benchmark and by EOY worked solutions will be leaked into the training of any new models, so performance will saturate to 90%. At which point, the Dan and the AI Safety folks at his fake ass not-4-profit can clutch their pearls and claim humanity is obsolete so they need more billionaire funding to save us & Sam and Dario can get more investors to buy them gpus. If anything, I'm hoping the Frontier Math debacle would inoculate us all against this bullshit (at least I think it's stolen some of the thunder from their benchmark's attempt to hype the end of days🫠)
excuse me, what the fuck is this
