Related: What specific dangers arise when asking GPT-N to write an Alignment Forum post? I've been thinking about the AI safety implications of ultra powerful language models. I think it makes more sense to think of language models trained with internet text as containing a collective of agents that can...
Suppose I give it pairs of strings and ask it to output 1 if the the number of 1s in the string is even and zero if it's odd. e. g. 0 -> 0 1 -> 1 11 -> 0 101 -> 0 1101-> 1 10101001 -> 0 111000101110 ->...
This might be relevant to the AI safety crowd. Key quote: "Our key insight is that agents can assist humans without inferring their goals or limiting their autonomy by instead increasing the human’s controllability of their environment – in other words, their ability to affect the environment through actions. We...
Credits to quanticle for bringing this paper to my attention. From the abstract: The claim that financial markets are efficient is backed by an implicit argument that misinformed "noise traders" can have little influence on asset prices in equilibrium. If noise traders' beliefs are sufficiently different from those of rational...
Abstract: > Building open-domain chatbots is a challenging area for machine learning research. While prior work has shown that scaling neural models in the number of parameters and the size of the data they are trained on gives improved results, we show that other ingredients are important for a high-performing...
By that I mean are there any natural phenomena that use a low entropy energy source to move heat against a temperature gradient. I know that there are a lot of things that can be interpreted as heat engines, like hurricanes, but I wanted to know if the opposite also...
Credit for the original idea comes from this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/slatestarcodex/comments/fk5au8/corona_variolation/ The idea is to use variolation to innoculate young people and build up herd immunity to the virus. Perhaps with an infected scratch to the shin. I imagine this would be completely politically infeasible, but ignoring that, can anyone weigh...
