• A lot of the suggestions there are confusing and/or unhelpful

  Like

  hallucination → undesirable output

  We all know what AI hallucinations are, calling it “undesired output” just removes all the specificity and makes communication more difficult.

• Life being shit also diminishes your ability to think rationally. And AfD does promise to make their life better (by getting rid of the immigrants), you and I know they are lying and spreading hate and are just there to enrich themselves. But to desperate people that can be their only hope.

• companies cannot be allowed to have ownership of something trained on stolen property. not only should they be distilled, they should be forced to open the weights.

• we absolutely need to separate people who LARP AI safety and people who sincerely care about AI safety. there are absolutely a ton of people who doom talk AI as a way to hype it, or as a way to regulatory capture to secure their position. what they do is in some sense poisoning the well cause now when people who really care about AI safety talk about existential risks, they get lumped together with the disingenuous LARPers and dismissed.

  listen to what they advocate. do they really want to stop all AI development, or just a so-called “slow-down”? do they want to ban all AI models, or just the “open-source”/“Chinese” ones?

• There is no need to downplay her credentials like that. She is an AI researcher, she has a M.S. in EE and a PhD in computer vision, and her PhD advisor is Fei-Fei Li!

• Focusing on human responsibility for using a tool sounds like a good way to proceed in my opinion.

  Absolutely! If AI hurts humans then the AI company CEOs should be put in jail (in fact I believe they should be in jail right now for developing AI at all).

  When a bridge collapses, you don’t analyze whether the bridge was ethical or sentient or why it decided to collapse. You ask, who is the person who built this bridge to be so flimsy?

  Right, when a bridge collapses, we analysis the physics of it so the next bridge we build won’t collapse. From my perspective analysis why an AI “went rogue” is the same process. The difficulty is when talking about AI we can’t help but use some anthropomorphizing languages. If anything, talking about when an AI “thought” is a lot less verbose than talking about how the transformer’s weights multiplies together and how the random sampling process produced a sequence of tokens that resembles natural language. But ultimately, it’s not that far from analyzing a bridge collapse. We need to understand why an AI “went rogue” to stop the next AI from going rogue (or, in my opinion, just stop building the next AI altogether).

  This machine-god narrative is, in my opinion, meant to distract us from these.

  I don’t see why personally. AI is dangerous enough even if it doesn’t become “machine-god”. Absolutely we shouldn’t use AI to develop autonomous weapons. If AI can indeed somehow become “machine-god”, then oh my god that’s a million times worse and we should stop immediately.

• (I want to preface by saying I don’t support AI, I don’t want to hype AI, I want AI research and development to stop immediately.)

  Timnit Gebru argues that AI companies are stoking fears of extinction to avoid discussing actual harms, like autonomous weapons.

  Huh? Pretty sure autonomous weapons are part of the fears of extinction. It’s very hard to imagine an AI safety advocate doing “all the doom talk” would in any way support AI autonomous weapons. She and other AI safety researchers are on the same side! They don’t need to and shouldn’t fight each other.

  Timnit Gebru: Why are they choosing certain disciplines? Somehow these subjects, like programming and chess and math, were elevated to mean, OK, you solved this and thereby you’ve solved intelligence.

  Well that’s simple. Because the output of chess, programming, and math can be easily checked mechanically. Chess has win or loss, programs either pass tests or not, math proofs can be checked with Lean, etc. This makes these discipline very easy to train an AI on with reinforcement learning.

  I thought an AI researcher would know this?
