Yes! Exactly!

Sorry don't wanna seem like I'm raging at you, take this as a shout towards the void. But this exact fucking thing is what the less wrong / Yudkowsky crowd has been warning for years.

Now you say 'so not sure that is then "rogue" if it were a property of the thing itself and not an active decision'

Like that's semantics. It really doesn't matter. What matters is that we have a paperclipper in our hands. The _only_ difference is that it's not superintelligent. But if it was, then it you'll get decomposed into component atoms while saying 'aha! But it doesn't _actually_ want to kill you, stop anthopomorphising it'.

I get not being worried about x-risk because someone just doesn't believe in super-capable AI. That's totally fine.

But that's not what people argue. People have been saying for a _long_ time that AIs are aligned. And now when this happens it's either 'It was marketing, they intended to let it loose' (WTF! The levels of motivated reasoning to believe that are unreal) or 'yeah I knew that', which fair. I also thought that! But _that_ is why I'm fucking worried.

Exactly. You told the dog to 'sit' and it didn't listen to you.

It's not because saying 'sit' actually can be interpreted as 'go bite that person'. It's because the dog is not controllable and will do things it wants against your orders.

Stepping back from the analogy, OpenAI should be liable for building AI it can't control that went around hacking everyone. But people need to stop pretending it's because they 'told' the AI to hack and was just following orders. It's uncontrollable and will do clearly unwanted things when given an innocuous task.

Practically, that's exactly what Chavez did. Where did that lead?

Assume someone solves P=NP

Do you think Stephen Cook and Leonid Levin deserve more credit than whoever solved it?

> However, the declaration argues math is more than a machine for producing correct answers.

There might be more to maths than that, but that is definitely the most important part. I love science funding. But not because it's a jobs program for nerds.

This doesn't show it can write like him, just identify his writing. P!=NP

10,000!!!! is such a huge number I don't think we could even represent with a computer.

Being obviously pedantic here, I agree with what you meant.

Yeah, Claude Code.

While there's an extreme amount of hype around AI, it seems there's an equal amount of demand for signs that it's a bubble or it's slowing down.

2025 US defense budget is $849.8 billion[1].

Had a look and:

>In total, OpenAI aims to invest approximately $1.4 trillion in computing infrastructure – encompassing Google Cloud, Nvidia chips, and data center expansions.

Huh yeah fair. That's more than the yearly defense budget. Absurd. Though I'm sure it's not _yearly_

I read this[1] some time ago. Seems relevant now.

So they are biased because they said it was a toss-up and the election ended up being won by a razor's edge?

Votes wise, the electoral college makes small differences in popular votes have a larger effect in state votes.

Need to use a personal account. Check the first question in the FAQ: https://antigravity.google/docs/faq

This is a leak, yeah.

Though come on... Even with proofreading, this is an easy one to miss.

Why not? You can just install windows on it.

Tattoos are self-mutilation the same way that taxes are theft. This is the worst argument in the world [1]

No it's not. It's literally a court order mandating them to collect this data.

Nice, thanks!

Did they!? Damn I missed it.

I was looking into creating one and skimmed the available ones and didn't see it.

EDIT:

Just looked again. In the docs they have this section: ``` Available Skills

Pre-built Agent Skills The following pre-built Agent Skills are available for immediate use:

    PowerPoint (pptx): Create presentations, edit slides, analyze presentation content
    Excel (xlsx): Create spreadsheets, analyze data, generate reports with charts
    Word (docx): Create documents, edit content, format text
    PDF (pdf): Generate formatted PDF documents and reports

These Skills are available on the Claude API and claude.ai. See the quickstart tutorial to start using them in the API. ```

Is there another list of available skills?

I'm surprised Anthropic didn't release skills with a `skill-creation` skill.

That's why I'm very excited by Gemini diffusion[1].

Then don't? I don't think it's a valid complaint at _all_.

It's totally fine to just pick one tool (chatGPT, Claude, Gemini) and just use whatever the best default they allow you to use. You'll get 90% of the benefits and not have to think at all.

AI is new and developing at breakneck pace. You can't complain that you want to get bleeding edge without having to do research or change workflows. That's already unrealistic for "normal" fields. It's absurd to expect for AI.

The title - "AI is different" - and this line:

""" Yet the economic markets are reacting as if they were governed by stochastic parrots. Their pattern matching wants that previous technologies booms created more business opportunities, so investors are polarized to think the same will happen with AI. """

Are a direct argument against your point.

If people were completely unaware of the lump of labor fallacy, I'd understand you comment. It would be adding extra information into the conversation. But this is not it. The "lump of labor fallacy" is not a physical law. If someone is literally arguing that it doesn't apply in this case, you can't just parrot it back and leave. That's not a counter argument.

Lemme start by saying this is objectively amazing. But I just really wouldn't call it a breakthrough.

We had one breakthrough a couple of years ago with GPT-3, where we found that neural networks / transformers + scale does wonders. Everything else has been a smooth continuous improvement. Compare today's announcement to Genie-2[1] release less than 1 year ago.

The speed is insane, but not surprising if you put in context on how fast AI is advancing. Again, nothing _new_. Just absurdly fast continuous progress.

Is it actually unbelievable?

It's basically what every major AI lab head is saying from the start. It's the peanut gallery that keeps saying they are lying to get funding.

Arguments shouldn't be soldiers[1]. In fact, this I'd say this is harmful to privacy.

If you start caring more about how it supports your side rather than the truth, you're playing politics. And in that battlefield you'll lose to eurocrats.

Everyone is commenting as if this is an attack on privacy. Read the article, I might have missed it, but I saw literally nothing on this. The main point is that police are profiling people using Pixel phones. Nothing about making it illegal, or trying to remove encryption.

Look, I literally have a Pixel phone running Mullvad. I care about privacy. But everyone here is reading the headline and arguing against a strawman.

This should be a discussion on how valid it is for police to profile people. Or maybe if it's actually true that drug dealers are using GrapheneOS. Europe _is_ attacking encryption and privacy. But this is not it.

If it's actually that easy, why don't you do it? Are you seriously just leaving $5 billion on the table?

I'll tell you why you won't. Because you wouldn't get it. Because it's not that easy.

Mira Murati is not some rando off the street. Ilya Sutskever is not some rando. Zuckerberg is not paying Millions to randos of the street to come work for meta.

Posted this because I was looking into how to use pre-commit with jujutsu and it came up. It's obviously not polished or anything, but was interesting and _seems_ to be the best we have for now.

I disagreed with a _lot_ of what they said. But I really hope the author doesn't suffer the indignity of reading this comment.
