Bitcoin & šŸ«‚ Oh and dimly trying to think through interesting issues. I think that I don’t have a right to force you to do anything other than not harm me or others. Seems like most people I interact with in the real world disagree with this statement. To be fair.. the devil is in definition of ā€œharmā€.

This is the biggest ideological tension I have. I agree 100% with the goal of ending Sapiens vs Sapiens fight. Also believe that beating AGI ASAP is incredibly important. But you can’t do both 😭

Maybe the way through is banding together to beat AGI. This might offset or more than offset the fighting that banning it will cause… just speculating. 0% planning.

Do you think that wisdom, compassion, self healing, and tendency toward peace are evolutionarily more fit than out current state? I have been thinking for the past few months that they desirable qualities, but even assuming we achieve those qualities soon, our evolutionary failure when in competition with much smarter machines is still inevitable.

Power projection is an intellectual and a physical task. Right now doing the intellectual part is easy. The physical part is either easy or at least possible depending on what assumptions you make. The window is closing rapidly. For one, machine gestation and maturation can be very fast.

Haha ā€œmerging with the machineā€ I’m guessing. Hope that happens. Though it seems unlikely to me. It seems evolutionarily unfavorable.

EXPLAIN TO ME LIKE I’M 5, OR WHATEVER AGE YOU NEED, HOW WE’LL MAINTAIN OUR SPECIES WHEN WE LIVE IN A SOLAR SYSTEM WITH ENTITIES THAT ARE 5X OR 1000000X SMARTER THAN US.

ā€œEveryone wants to be in the room for the creation of AGIā€ - Sam Altman talking about what unites the people at OpenAI.. oh man..

Haha idk. I honestly don’t know how we are going to make it through this as a species. I dont think the most Orwellian regulation will do more than just buy us some time.. even that could be worth it idk. I’m very ambivalent on that question despite being very much not for every other topic

"For cost of intelligence, this is the highest it will ever be, and much more than we wantā€ - Sam Altmam on Unconfuse Me podcast

ā€œCost of intelligence, cost of energy, those are the two biggest factors for quality of lifeā€ - Sam Altmam on Unconfuse Me podcast

ā€œI think we are in the steepest curve ever for cost reduction for any technology, way better than Moore’s law….ā€ - Sam Altmam on Unconfuse Me podcast

Yeah I haven’t read about how it’d be structured or if there is a proposition. He was comparing it to the IAEA I think. Bill Gates pushed back a bit on that saying that commercial nuclear is happy to be regulated that way, but military nuclear has no interest in letting foreigners see behind the curtain.

Sam Altman suggests a global governance board that reviews every stage of development of the top 5 most powerful AI models to prevent… problems

ā€œYou see this all the time, somebody figures out empirically, nobody has no idea how it works. Figuring out how it works then makes a huge difference.ā€

Rough transcription from Sam Altman. We are at the ā€œit empirically worksā€ stage. Imagine if we figure out the details.

By mass I’m guessing? How much was the total mass?
