I don't understand why the wife does not simply consume her husband, a parenting style I've developed from observing the noble praying mantis in the wild.

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?
This gem from 25 year old Avital Balwit the Chief of Staff at Anthropic and researcher of "transformative AI at Oxford’s Future of Humanity Institute" discussing the end of labour as she knows it. She continues:
"The general reaction to language models among knowledge workers is one of denial. They grasp at the ever diminishing number of places where such models still struggle, rather than noticing the ever-growing range of tasks where they have reached or passed human level. [wherein I define human level from my human level reasoning benchmark that I have overfitted my model to by feeding it the test set] Many will point out that AI systems are not yet writing award-winning books, let alone patenting inventions. But most of us also don’t do these things. "
Ah yes, even though the synthetic text machine has failed to achieve a basic understanding of the world generation after generation, it has been able to produce ever larger volumes of synthetic text! The people who point out that it still fails basic arithmetic tasks are the ones who are in denial, the god machine is nigh!
Bonus sneer:
Ironically, the first job to go the way of the dodo was researcher at FHI, so I understand why she's trying to get ahead of the fallout of losing her job as chief Dario Amodei wrangler at OpenAI2: electric boogaloo.
Idk, I'm still workshopping this one.
