Surprises and learnings from almost two months of Leo Panickssery

Just yesterday and today I'm having some success with Lansinoh bottles in the side-lying position. Fingers crossed the improvement persists :D

Agreed about pram vs. carrier.

Nice! Yeah front-facing carrying seems really bad.

Water? I don't think trying to give a baby water is recommended at all.

The bottles are filled with pumped breastmilk so it's the same substance he's used to just different vessel.

Luckily the bottle situation has been improving, I think I found a better feeding position for the bottle :)

A small number of people are driven insane by books, films, artwork, even music. The same is true of LLMs - a particularly impressionable and already vulnerable cohort are badly affected by AI outputs. But this is a tiny minority - most healthy people are perfectly capable of using frontier LLMs for hours every day without ill effects.

Race and Gender Bias As An Example of Unfaithful Chain of Thought in the Wild

Educated people on the internet tend to be left-leaning, so when you train the model to write like an educated person, it also ends up inheriting left-leaning views

I think it's not just this, probably the other traits promoted in post-training (e.g. harmlessness training) are also correlated with left-leaning content on the internet.

I liked this post and its framing of the alignment problem.

Presumably a hidden message for the AI reading this :D

computers are just not better at biology than biology. anything you'd do with a computer, once you're advanced enough to know how, you'd rather do by improving biology

I share a similar intuition but I haven't thought about this enough and would be interested in pushback!

it's not transhumanism, to my mind, unless it's to an already living person. gene editing isn't transhumanism

You can do gene editing on adults (example). Also in some sense an embryo is a living person.

I would find that reasonably convincing, yes (especially because my prior is already that true ems would not have a tendency to report their experiences in a different way from us).

I think a big reason why uploads may be much worse than regular life is not that the brain scan will be not good enough but that they won’t be able to interact with the real world like you can as a physical human.

Edit: I guess with sufficiently good robotics the ems would be able to interact with the same physical world as us in which case I would be much less worried.
