Ugh, this post has me tilted- if your utility function is

max sum log(spending on fun stuff at time t ) * p(alive_t) s.t. cash at time t = savings_{t-1}*r + work_t - spending_t,

etc.,

There’s no fucking way the optimal solution is to blow all your money now, because the disutility of living in poverty for decades is so high. It’s the same reason people pay for insurance, no one expects their house is going to burn down tomorrow, but protecting yourself against the risk is the 100% correct decision.

Idk, they are the Rationalist^{tm} so what the hell do I know.

It never ceases to amaze me watching these tech bros breathlessly hyping the next revolutionary product for it to be a huge nothing burger. Like that’s it? You gave gpt an image to text input + and a text to speech app? Dawg, I’ve been watching Joe Biden & Trump play Fortnite for 5 years at this point, text to speech just doesn’t hit the same anymore.

I mean my god, at least some hardcore engineering went in to making the migraine inducing apple vision pro. If this is the best card in oai’s deck, I would be panicking as an investor.

Like a model trained on its own outputs, Geoff has drank his own Kool-Aid and completely decohered.

• Barges in
• Insists that somewhere between randomly initializing the model weights and finishing training, sentience magically emerges
• Refuses to elaborate
• Leaves Google

ngl, I’d sooner believe slime mold had mental states than a sequence of matrix multiplications & ReLUs.

:(

It’s true. ChatGPT is slightly sentient in the same way a field of wheat is slightly pasta.

This is why I’ll never succeed in software engineering. My first thought was to make the penis part of the internet of things.

Lmaou, gonna need a citation on this one chief. This the same guy who said we need people monitoring for ‘sudden drops’ in the loss function? I’m supposed to believe this poser understands what a derivative is now?

what the hell happened here? :O

Sorry Barb, I really wish I could help, but the utility I get from sneering at Sammy while he rots in prison is simply too high to justify letting him out.

doing the lorde’s work^

I believe we both know, the ability to make Roko not a complete douchebag is simply beyond science.

Well, obviously an ASI will be able to solve the halting problem, right after it starts solving NP-hard problems in nlog(n) time. After all, if it couldn’t, would it really be an ASI? Our puny human brains just can’t comprehend the bigness of its IQ.

I’d never leave Donkey Kong, unless I found someone with 33.3 % (repeating of course) more funk, some sort of funky Kong if you will.

^Thanks homie 👍

Unbelievably gross 🤢 I can’t even begin to imagine what kind of lunatic would treat their loved one’s worth as ‘just a number’ or commodity to be exchanged. Frightening to think these are the folks trying to influence govt officials.
