I’m in Canada and have been AI x-risk pilled for years but I really don’t have bandwidth to participate in this. Hope something good comes out of it.

I don't follow the reasoning behind excluding coding help. Does the paper elaborate on why disempowerment in that area is considered benign?

see sam altman on giving full access to codex

Unless you're on the macOS security team at Apple, I would encourage you to consider removing that part of the prompt. I think that lying (even to models) has negative first-order and second-order consequences.

Hi,

Thank you for writing this report and for sharing your data. I have a non-24 hour sleep schedule as well so I’m expecting this to be a helpful resource for me. I’ll be sure to discuss it with my doctor. It’s great information to have.

I won’t be switching over to light glasses or red bulbs but this did get me to adjust the temperature setting of the main bulb in my room to a warmer default. So you have changed one small part of the world in one small way as a direct result of putting this post up.

Best Wishes

I’ve had about ~3000 sessions across Claude Code and Codex, and wanted to write about ~8 of the more interesting stories from that experience, but I’m probably not going to prioritize that anytime in the near future sadly.

Thanks, I just took the pledge as well.

I read an article about the history of extreme ultraviolet lithography (http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.2127950, the full pdf is on sci-hub) which says that soft x-ray reduction lithography using multilayer-coated schwertzchild optics was demonstrated in 1986.

3 nm process nodes have a contacted gate pitch of 48 nanometers, and a tightest metal pitch of 24 nanometers, so a laser with wavelength near 13.5 nm is needed to etch the circuits onto the chip dies with sufficient precision.

Of course, there were many practical engineering challenges with getting this concept to work at scale (there is a video by veritasium which discusses this in more detail), and I think very few people making compute forecasts in 1990 would have accurately predicted the trajectory of this technology.
