Right now there's pretty limited set of actions that rogue AI can do with internet access. The most dangerous options are hacking into biolab facility, and maybe hacking into nuclear reactors or nuclear weapons.

These things should be as secure as possible, and I don't think rogue AIs, even super intelligent ones, have the capability to destroy humanity. Not to mention, super intelligent AIs would know that destroying humanity will also destroy themselves.

Maybe in 20 years once we have only self driving cars, robots in every household or maybe robots with weapons, then AI would pose a real extinction risk. But we're not there yet and it depends less on the development of AI and more on the development of physical real world robots.

Beware everyone working on ground breaking research, keep your research secret from openAI or they might spend 22$ million worth of tokens just to beat you to the finish line, while possibly abusing your user data for training.

Possibly after being given the significant part of the solution from actual human researchers. Which they then bullied. And they beat them to the finish line only because they heard rumor and threw everything at the problem. It doesn't look good for openAI in any way. I see more reasons to avoid using them rather than use them from this story.

I'm not convinced. They aren't actually using the semiclassical Einstein equation, they are using some simplification they call Newton Schrodinger equation. They claim that this equation can lead to distinguish a state that's exponentially close to |0> from |0>. I don't follow their whole argument.

Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if you could actually do hard computations with semiclassical Einstein equation, because they have strong self consistency - the expectation value of the stress energy tensor curves the metric, which in turn excites the quantum vacuum and causes expectation value of the stress energy tensor. But this isn't what they use in the paper. Nobody knows if this self consistency can be achieved in all configurations, and physicists working with semiclassical gravity usually do only one iteration of the self consistency.

If someone wanted to make semiclassical gravity into quantum gravity, he'll probably assume that gravity causes measurements, which would prevent these kinds of abuses where you have superposition you're probing via gravity while keeping it intact.

You can't compare Iran with north Korea. Iran funds and supports terrorism all over the middle east. They regularly call for the destruction of Israel. If Iran wasn't ruled by aggressive violent religious fanatics it wouldn't be in danger.

North Korea didn't fund terrorism. North Korea isn't an aggressor. You cannot compare them at all.

Israel and the US were monitoring Iran nuclear development and Iran knew that. They wouldn't allow Iran to rush to nuclear without striking them first, like it had happened.

If you're a dictator and you want to learn the lesson from Iran, it isn't to get nuclear weapons. It's too not call for the destruction of Israel and the US and to not fund terrorism.

In all objective measures of life quality, gaza was better off occupied by Israel, both compared with before 67 (Israel's occupation made Gaza prosper relative to when it was controlled by Egypt), and compared with after hamas took over and forced Israel to isolate gaza increasingly in order to deal with the terrorism from Gaza.

The only thing gaza didn't have under Israeli occupation was democratic election. And guess what, they didn't have that after the occupation stopped either. They don't have it in most Arabic countries either.

My parent comment said :"the state of Israel has a policy of systematic rape, torture, mass incarceration, murder, and dehumanization of Palestinians at an industrial scale that's been in place for decades now."

How is that allowed while what I said isn't? My parent comment literally says the same thing. Your moderation is one sided. I didn't say anything that wasn't claimed by the other side.

I see far worse slurs about Israel and Jews here which remain unmoderated. And you won't even let me attack them back.
