I think I addressed that specifically in my comment above. The behavior is explained by a sequence like: There is a large amount of bot spammed harassment material, that goes into early GPT development, someone removes it either from reddit or just from the training data not on the basis of it mentioning the targets but based on other characteristics (like being repetitive). Then the tokens are orphaned.
Many of the other strings in the list of triggers look like they may have been UI elements or other markup removed by improved data sanitation.
I know that reddit has removed a very significant number of comments referencing me, since they're gone when I look them up. I hope you would agree that it's odd that the only two obviously human names in the list are people who know each other and have collaborated in the past.
I left a comment in the prior thread giving a wild ass guess on how I and petertodd became GPT3 basilisks.
Hello. I'm apparently one of the GPT3 basilisks. Quite odd to me that two of the only three (?) recognizable human names in that list are myself and Peter Todd, who is a friend of mine.
If I had to take a WAG at the behavior described here, -- both Petertodd and I have been the target of a considerable amount of harassment/defamation/schitzo comments on reddit due commercially funded attacks connected to our past work on Bitcoin. It may be possible that comments targeting us were included in an early phase of GPTn design (e.g. in the tokenizer) but someone noticed an in development model spontaneously defaming us and then expressly filtered...

The concerns in this space go beyond personal safety, though that isn't an insignificant one. For safety, It doesn't matter what one can prove because almost by definition anyone who is going to be dangerous is not behaving in an informed and rational way, consider the crazy person who was threatening Gwern. It's also not possible to actually prove you do not own a large number of Bitcoins-- the coins themselves are pseudonymous, and many people can not imagine that a person would willingly part with a large amount of money (or decline to take it in the first place).
No one knows which, if any, Bitcoins are owned by the system's... (read more)
Now that the movie is out, how would you rate your prediction in hindsight?
Every ten years or so someone must reinvent Tierra (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tierra_%28computer_simulation%29).
Well— we're deep in the meta philosophy of a fictional world, so I'm not sure that any great insight will come from the discussion.
I'm unsure of how to resolve the apparent safety of time tuners with the idea that there is an optimization process selecting a permissible outcome unless I wave my arms and say that the optimization process is moral, perhaps borrowing the objectives of the operator (like the sorting hat). One way to do this is to note that bad things happening increase the probability of more time tuner usage, which a human-interest blind metric could still be minimizing.
Seems very handwavy, though: Saying the optimizer picked tie breaking that—... (read more)
I'd always just assumed that whatever force imposes the time turner rules just has a simple constraint that no history is permitted where "information" travels back further, and it freely reconfigures things in potentially very high entropy ways ("DO NOT MESS WITH TIME") to achieve that end. Amelia Bones' upon time travel was replace with a spherical null-information amelia bones which had no influence from the future except that which she would not covey— including by choice— to anyone that travels outside the constraint satisfaction window.
So I think there doesn't need to be any special casing of sapience to create the appearance of special casing sapience, beyond anthropic bias— the only time when the reconfiguration to meet the constraint is particularly obvious to a conscious entity is when it interacts with a conscience entity.
are not, as a rule, a different intellectual order than we are
Yes they are— in the sense that they will have decades to spend ruminating on workarounds, experimenting, consulting with others. And when they find a solution the result is potentially an easily transmitted whole class compromise that frees them all at once.
Decades of dedicated human time, teams of humans, etc. are all forms of super-humanity. If you demanded that the same man hours be spent drafting the language as would be spent under its rule, then I'd agree that there was no differential advantage, but then it would be quite a challenge to write the rule.
OpenTimestamps was created by Petertodd.
This is not a coincidence because nothing is ever a coincidence.
