Kind of like saying that humans are car-driving machines because we drive cars.

LLMs and humans are both sentence-producing machines, but they were shaped by different processes to do different work

Except not really. We’re not sentence-producing machines, we’re “machines” (so to speak) that can produce sentences. Not the same thing.

Once this is in place, they say, nations must be prepared to enforce these restrictions by bombing unregistered data centres, even if this risks nuclear war, “because datacenters can kill more people than nuclear weapons” (emphasis theirs).

So the plan is still to kill everyone to death to prevent GPT-5 6 7 8 …

OpenAI’s tools also lower the cost of entry, allowing more people to make creative content, he said.

So, even working under the assumption that this somehow works, they still needed two animation studios, professional writers, and 30 million to get this film off the ground.

According to the article, it could be higher than 1.5 billion, though by how much they don’t really say. But they’re estimating about $3000 per book. For a class action that actually seems extremely high.

Anthropic to pay 1.5 billion to authors

That’s… quite a bit. I wonder if we’ll start to see more complaints about people reaching their token limit “prematurely” or if Anthropic will release a $1000/month “unlimited” plan or something like that.

That picture does indeed has words, numbers, and lines on it.

Looks like they already removed it.

“The home of 1999” already beat them to that.

Because a company has to be x more valuable than it was last quarter. Then it has to be done again, and again, and again, forever.

Is g-factor supposed to stand for gene factor?

For example, if a country turns out to have a hidden datacenter somewhere, the datacenter gets hit by ballistic missiles and the country gets heavy sanctions and demands to allow inspectors to pore over other suspicious locations, which if refused will lead to more missile strikes.

“If the AI God doesn’t kill you, we will.” is one hell of a sales pitch.

So, you know Ross Scott, the Stop Killing Games guy?
About 2 years ago he actually interviewed Yudkowsky. The context being that Ross discussed his article on one of his monthly streams, and expressed skepticism that there was any threat at all from AI. Yudkowsky got wind of his skepticism, and reached out to Ross to do a discussion with him about the topic. He also requested that Ross not do any research on him.
And here it is…

I can’t say I actually recommend watching it, because Yudkowsky spends the first 40 minutes of the discussion refusing to answer the question “So what is GPT-4, anyway?” (It’s not exactly that question, but it’s pretty close).
I don’t know what they discussed afterwards because I stopped watching it after that, but, well, it’s a thing that exists.
