In light of all of the talk about AI, utility functions, value alignment etc. I decided to spend some time thinking about what my actual values are. I encourage you to do the same (yes both of you). Lower values on the list are less important to me but not...
Today is March 15th 2024 and marks the beginning of the WorldsEnd movement A movement that acknowledges the end of the human race before 2050 due to unaligned Superintelligence. As such this movement is about maximising utility over the remaining years on Earth instead of focusing on aligning AI, given...
Wait till you find out that qwen 2 is probably just llama 3 with a few changes and some training on benchmarks to inflate performance a bit
What are your thoughts on skills that the government has too much control over? For example If we get ASI in 2030 do you imagine that a doctor will be obsolete in 2032 or will the current regulatory environment still be relevant ?
And how much of this is determined by "labs have now concentrated so much power that governments are obsolete".
In light of all of the talk about AI, utility functions, value alignment etc. I decided to spend some time thinking about what my actual values are. I encourage you to do the same (yes both of you). Lower values on the list are less important to me but not qualitatively less important. For example some of value 2 is not worth an unbounded amount of value 3. The only exception to this is value 1 which is in fact infinitely more important to me than the others.
Daniel, your interpretation is literally contradicted by Eliezer's exact words. Eliezer defines dignity as that which increases our chance of survival.
""Wait, dignity points?" you ask. "What are those? In what units are they measured, exactly?"
And to this I reply: Obviously, the measuring units of dignity are over humanity's log odds of survival - the graph on which the logistic success curve is a straight line. A project that doubles humanity's chance of survival from 0% to 0% is helping humanity die with one additional information-theoretic bit of dignity."
So I'm one of the rate limited users. I suspect it's because I made a bad early April fools joke about a WorldsEnd movement that would encourage people to maximise utility over the next 25 years instead of pursuing long term goals for humanity like alignment. Made some people upset and it hit me that this site doesn't really have the right culture for those kinds of jokes. I apologise and don't contest being rate limited.
Just this once I promise
See my other comment on how this is just a shitpost.
Also humans dont base their decisions on raw expected value calculations. Almost everyone would take 1 million over a 0.1% chance of 10 billion though the expected value of the latter is higher (pascals mugging)
Early april fools joke. I dont seriously believe this.
It was originally intended as an april fools joke lol. This isnt a serious movement but it does reflect a little bit of my hopelessness of ai alignment working

A movement that acknowledges the end of the human race before 2050 due to unaligned Superintelligence. As such this movement is about maximising utility over the remaining years on Earth instead of focusing on aligning AI, given that it would require a miracle at this point. WorldsEnders borrow from the future. They do not have 401k accounts or meaningfully save for retirement. They try to avoid paying back debt (to institutions and not to people who may face hardship due to this). They care less about what people think of them because after all, who would care about what some... (read more)
AI + Humans would just eventually give rise to AGI anyway so I dont see the distinction people try to make here.
Entertaining as this post was, I think very few of us have ai timelines so long that iq eugenics actually matter. Long timelines are like 2040 ish these days so what use is a 16 yo high iq child going to be to secure humanities future ?
