As far as I know, our track record of deliberately driving species extinct that are flourishing under human conditions is pretty bad. The main way in which we drive species extinct is by changing natural habitat to fit our uses. Species that are able to flourish under these new circumstances are not controllable.

In that sense, I guess the questions becomes what happens, when humans are not the primary drivers of ecosystem change?

Did you try both opus and sonnet 4?

The current acquisitions by OpenAI (io, windsurf) point towards a pivot to commercialization, that at least in my understanding, would be superfluous in very short ASI timelines. Why focus on building consumer AI hardware, if self-improving AI is around the corner?

Thanks for the clarification! Not in the field and wasn't sure I understood the meaning of the results correctsly.

What is your opinion on the Low Probability Estimation paper published this year at ICLR?

I don't have a background in the field, but it seems like they were able to get some results, that indicate the approach is able to extract some results. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2410.13211
