It's not that it's more impressive than solving Millenium Prize problems. It's that if a model can edit its own weights, then it can self-improve without having to undergo training, which means it can self-improve extraordinarily faster.

This is very dangerous because it allows AI capabilities to grow at a much faster rate than humans are able to keep up with.

OBS is such a staple among streamers, for a long time I thought "OBS" was the generic term for video screen sharing software. Only recently learned that it's a specific software, and it's free and open source!

For a while I was under the impression that all the reviews in The A.V. Club were satirical, and I could never figure out what the joke was supposed to be.

It blows my mind that LLMs are solving Millennium Prize problems and people are still trying to argue that they can't do original thinking.

> "This 100% deadly airborne superbacterium is inspired by natural bacteria, it's not truly original thinking," I say, as the superintelligent AI kills me and everyone else in the world

The credit card fee is the only thing that changes based on the payment method. The fuel cost, employee cost, etc. is the same for the same product, but if you pay with a credit card, it costs the seller more money.

It's common for the price you pay to change when the method of purchase changes. For example, having a product delivered costs the seller more than if you picked it up from the store, so you have to pay a delivery fee.

It's very common for civil liberties to be tested on cases where the person is actually guilty.

That's why it's important that the trolley company was established as a non-profit. And if it does take funding, investors' returns will be capped at 100x.

(...wait)

Does it matter whether the data was poorly secured? LLMs should not be hacking into government medical websites, and if they do, the companies responsible should disclose the incidents as soon as possible.

I would take "Our town has the castle" to imply that there's a group of towns that collectively only have one castle, and your town is the one that has it.

Compare: "Sacramento is the capital." You could say Sacramento is a capital if the reference group includes Albany, Austin, Tallahassee, etc. Or you could say Sacramento is the capital if the reference group includes Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, etc.

> AIs are not conscious. They do not feel, experience, or suffer. They do not have innate preferences or underlying motivations.

I'm glad to hear Suleyman has solved the hard problem of consciousness! I sure hope he shares his solution with the rest of us.

I feel like we need some version of "increase the temperature" that works at a macro scale instead of on individual tokens.

It has access to its own instructions, right? Otherwise how would the instructions work?

> But there is one huge question: did Tristan opt out of model training for his ChatGPT and Codex sessions? If the answer is no, then this seems fair game.

Just because something is legal and permitted by terms of service doesn't mean it's morally right.
