Normally I wouldn't say anything at this stage but I feel that the moment calls for it. This isn't directed at any particular company (I'm serious), but it's something we should all start thinking about now. I'm moving to NYC to join @pangramlabs The midterms are coming up, and I'm worried about AI generated misinformation and other misuses of AI. Even right now the bots are on overdrive bc of the war, this is bad. My old job paid ~210k/yr, more money than I knew what to do with. (that's also why no new blogs/research) I don't expect to stay at pangram long enough to vest, and so in all likelihood I will be taking a 40k/yr pay cut to do this. And of that income I intend to donate a good amount (political) too. I will be leaving all my friends here. I've gotten vastly better at making new ones but is still very uncomfortable. And I will be going in person instead of working online. (None of this is pangram's fault btw I intentionally didn't negotiate, and they're aware of all the details) My questions to you are: 1. How much is your conscience worth? 2. How easily can your conscience bend? 3. Will ambiguity, intentional or not, satisfy you? 4. Will you simultaneously be capable of good compromise when the time demands it? 5. Can you, right now, in good faith, say that what you are doing is right? Our society is falling apart at the seams, trust is degrading, loneliness is at an all time high, antisocial behavior is common, gambling is everywhere, influencers sell out the truth and their viewers for money. We are building an extraordinarily powerful technology while it all happens. Are you prepared to be the people the world needs right now?

When I was at university a Nigerian on my engineering course told a joke about corruption I adapt it for the present: So a Pakistani engineer, a Nigerian engineer and an English lawyer go to visit each others country after graduating. Nigerian visits the Pakistani guy. Says "You did well for your self, expensive car, huge house you were a bit of a waster at university, how come you did so well for yourself?" Pakistani guy rubs his hands together and says "I went into the Civil Service, see that bridge over there... 20%" Few years later Pakistani guy visits the Nigerian guy. Says "Wow you are doing even better than me you have a fleet of cars, a mansion, security your own jet, your were an even bigger waster than me how come you are so rich" Nigerian guy rubs his hands together and says "I went into politics. See that bridge over there... 40%" Another year passes they both go back to England and visit the English guy. He has a lovely property and expensive car as well. They both say "You were the biggest slacker of all of us how come your are so rich?" English guy points and says "I stayed in Law, See that bridge over there?" Nigerian guy says "No"

We have spent £180m on plans for a tunnel under Stonehenge. The project is now scrapped. You can be for a tunnel & think spending is a good idea (even if you think the cost of planning is silly). You can be against a tunnel & think spending is a bad idea. But *nobody* can be for spending on this scale with zero result. And yet that is a peculiarly British outcome. Nobody will be reprimanded. Nobody will see their career affected. But that’s £180m of taxpayer money just wazzed up the wall. Totally without repercussions. Multiply this by airport expansions & train route plans and Thames crossings and power stations and other examples you can think of yourself, and… soon you’re talking serious money.

The backstory here is that the Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of this land a century ago. They sued, got their land back, and used their sovereignty to ignore local zoning rules and build 6,000 new homes over the objections of nearby NIMBYs.

oh I know. I took an ethics class in my undergrad as well that had an enormous non-linear influence on my philosophy. I remember all of them, and will certainly cite them. I've also watched some philosophy content on yt when I was younger, and I remember all those influences as well. I also of course live in a society downstream of their thoughts. Also, I am an ~idle thinker and very introspective. Even just small amounts of information have an outsized non-linear impact on who I am today. I'm just less confident about how much additional value I would get from reading the non-distilled source texts, considering I've likely already recovered most of their information from synthesizing snippets and life experience. This is mostly me questioning whether it's worth reading non-selected excerpts or distillations.

@_ueaj fun idea, but just by being on twitter, wikipedia, blogs, etc. or talking to people who read a lot, you're already consuming distilled snippets from lots of books. Plenty of films from arthouse to blockbusters are also inspired by direct adaptations of books. Even TV does this.

I've started transcribing my world model, ethics, aesthetics etc in an obsidian notebook before I start reading just to see if anyone else has actually ever said anything of worth or if I was actually completely justified in not reading any books since middle school

@dieworkwear @matthewstoller @SohrabAhmari Why the fuck would we want to put people in factories? They suck. The only reason anyone should be working anything other than a cushy office job or enjoying retirement is for national security, which automation can take care of

You're telling me the optimizer state has an epistemically interpretable meaning and throwing it away for SFT produces worse generalizations?

Incorporating SFT data during pretraining is more effective for finetuning than the plain pretraining and finetuning scheme, even considering replay during finetuning. But the ratio of SFT data during pretraining should consider the token budget for pretraining. They built a scaling law for this.
