Would you rather: 1) Risk killing everybody's families for the chance of utopia sooner? 2) Wait a bit, then have a much higher chance of utopia and lower chance of killing people? More specifically, the average AI scientist puts a 16% chance that smarter-than-all-humans AI will cause human extinction. That’s because right now we don’t know how to do this safely, without risking killing everybody, including everybody's families. Including all children. Including all pets. Everybody. However, if we figure out how to do it safely before building it, we could reap all of the benefits of superintelligent AI without taking a 16% chance of it killing us all. This is the actual choice we’re facing right now. Some people are trying to make it seem like it’s either build the AI as fast as possible or never. But that’s not the actual choice. The choice is between fast and reckless or delaying gratification to make it right.

Once upon a time, a scientist was driving fast In a car full of weaponized superebola. It was raining heavily so he couldn’t see clearly where he was going. His passenger said calmly, “Quick question: what the fuck?” “Don’t worry,” said the scientist. “Since I can’t see clearly, we don’t know we’re going to hit anything and accidentally release a virus that kills all humans.” As he said this, they hit a tree, released the virus, and everybody died slow horrible deaths. The End The moral of the story is that if there’s more uncertainty, you should go slower and more cautiously. Sometimes people say that we can’t know if creating a digital species (AI) is going to harm us. Predicting the future is hard, therefore we should go as fast as possible. And I agree - there is a ton of uncertainty around what will happen. It could be one of the best inventions we ever make. It could also be the worst, and make nuclear weapons look like benign little trinkets. And because it’s hard to predict, we should move more slowly and carefully. And anybody who's confident it will go well or go poorly is overconfident. Things are too uncertain to go full speed ahead. Don't move fast and break things if the "things" in question could be all life on earth.


2005-era SQL injection would bypass all security inspections and get you into the AIRPLANE COCKPIT. Somebody could've flown right into a skyscraper with this. All we paid in time and money for "security"? A joke.

Don’t you feel PROUD that we humans created AI?



The Lemoine Effect: All alarms over an existing AI technology are first raised too early, by the most easily alarmed person. They are correctly dismissed regarding current technology. The issue is then impossible to raise ever again.





Introducing The AI Scientist: The world’s first AI system for automating scientific research and open-ended discovery! sakana.ai/ai-scientist/ From ideation, writing code, running experiments and summarizing results, to writing entire papers and conducting peer-review, The AI Scientist opens a new era of AI-driven scientific research and accelerated discovery. Here are 4 example Machine Learning research papers generated by The AI Scientist. We published our report, The AI Scientist: Towards Fully Automated Open-Ended Scientific Discovery, and open-sourced our project! Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2408.06292 GitHub: github.com/SakanaAI/AI-Sc… Our system leverages LLMs to propose and implement new research directions. Here, we first apply The AI Scientist to conduct Machine Learning research. Crucially, our system is capable of executing the entire ML research lifecycle: from inventing research ideas and experiments, writing code, to executing experiments on GPUs and gathering results. It can also write an entire scientific paper, explaining, visualizing and contextualizing the results. Furthermore, while an LLM author writes entire research papers, another LLM reviewer critiques resulting manuscripts to provide feedback to improve the work, and also to select the most promising ideas to further develop in the next iteration cycle, leading to continual, open-ended discoveries, thus emulating the human scientific community. As a proof of concept, our system produced papers with novel contributions in ML research domains such language modeling, Diffusion and Grokking. We (@_chris_lu_, @RobertTLange, @hardmaru) proudly collaborated with the @UniOfOxford (@j_foerst, @FLAIR_Ox) and @UBC (@cong_ml, @jeffclune) on this exciting project.












Okay, everyone, here it is. I know many of you have been curious to read my take on @sama's basic income pilot results for about two full weeks now. Here's my take. scottsantens.com/did-sam-altman…

@ESYudkowsky S.S.I. (Supplemental Security Income) is $941.00 per month. Survive that!




I do! but this (a) does not convert starry-eyed youngsters into high-integrity souls just from their hearing it, and (b) seems to leave them open for another species of predator that lurks around our crowd dangling esoteric Nonconformity to Rationalism. x.com/bandrew143/sta…
