Programming is like LEGO bricks. You only need to know the shape of the parts of the system and how they can fit together. You don't need to fashion the bricks by hand. Actually they're more regular made by a machine to a standard!

Eliezer Yudkowsky - who, again, is immensely influential among the leaders of big AI companies and the US tech policy ecosystem that his rich fans have all but taken over - seems to think the only way to stop the AI apocalypse is doing straight-up eugenics to make “smarter people.”

Much of this is false-speaking as always with Perry, but this in particular:
> They say, instead, that we need to carefully develop "alignment" technologies that must be proven to be absolutely perfect in advance of permitting more development - an idea that defies the experience gained from all engineering practice in human history.
Reality: I think that given the vast distance between the modern-day bureaucracy trying to handle this, and the ways of thinking required to actually survive trying to create superintelligence, the first group permitted to try their hand at this should be humans augmented to the point where they are no longer idiots -- augmented humans so intelligent that they have stopped being bloody idiots like the rest of us; so intelligent they have stopped hoping for clever ideas to work that won't actually work. That's the level of intelligence needed to build something smarter than yourself and survive the experience.
No mention of "proof" is made in this proposal, nor lack of experimentation. The aforesaid human augments will perhaps try some experiments on the occasions where they can figure out a safe experiment that tells them something they don't already know and is relevant to superintelligence.
The current setup is simply not competent to do that safely or validly. Theirjanus

there's also the fact after you "Pause"
who decides when youre allowed to do Al development again? who decides whether the important problems have been solved? where do the selection effects and filters come from?
some committee of armchair philosophers or politicians, no longer selected for those who are smart enough to have found the secrets of Intelligence in the first place?

Since this post cites me, I want to clarify that I think pausing right now would increase the risk of Al takeover.
It might be important to pause at some point. But you should have a clear story for *why* you're pausing. Pause to do what?...

Make smarter humans. Do not let them have any GPUs either. When they're smart enough to build it on one CPU, you will have actually tested for "finding the secrets of intelligence" rather than doing alchemy with GPUS.

I finished a 27k word one-shot fanfic, amazing piece of writing which ended tragically without any twist or any aftermath that I'd been hoping for, and then I refreshed the page to see if there were any comments and it 404'd. So I might be one of very few to read something ephemeral.

my reaction to her not fighting the bathroom was feeling betrayed. People talk about how important representation is and then our first representation accepts having to use the wrong bathroom. That hurts but then i realized - she is being sexually harassed by her colleagues for political points

Doll@dollspace.gay · yesterday

But it gets ship of thesesused from “I want her to fight more visibly” to “she doesn’t fight,” and then “she has never done anything for us.” And then mindlessly repeated by other trans women who should not be attacking their own like this.

3) weaponizing her to attack trans people you already don’t like. None of you - at all - will state plainly what is happening to her. She is being sexually harassed, daily by her coworkers. she is being humiliated by her coworkers. Let’s see you be vocal about *this* instead of mean bsky trannies

this is what i find most disgusting about this topic. Cis centrists defend her with 3 arguments: 1) praising her not fighting the bathroom ban is good activism 2) purely aesthetic along identity lines - we should love her because she’s trans, not because we care about policy

Jane Ball (living dead girl)@jane.inurhead.lol · yesterday

Like we need to be clear this is what’s happening here. Everything is designed to sexually harass and humiliate her. her democratic colleagues largely stayed silent - perhaps at her request. Worse, cis liberals on here cheered her acquiescence to sexual harassment as activism done right

i can’t ever stress this enough but this is why you do not, under any circumstances, share internal queer beef with cis people. They will turn it into a spectacle to mock us all. It will be used to justify their treatment of us and to keep us marginalized.

Have any of you ever considered that any of the problems that we see about the left are all seen through the lens of fascist rather through the lens of the left itself? Instead of just trying to let this stuff go we side with fascists because we're annoyed!

Imagine a device that can be concealed within the human body that has access to complete sensory input of an individual, stores records, makes inferences from the data, and can even learn skills and control your body to enact those skills and act upon the inferences. So useful!
