Regulation is futile.

@carnage4life "Skynet becoming self aware and dropping nukes" here is a dog whistle at best. Given your previous posts presenting x-risk mitigation as regulatory capture you seem to be quite dismissive of it.

And, again, it's okay to be near-term focused. There are real people suffering right now. I'm glad someone is working on it.
What I don't get is all the flak people get for their work on anything else besides that.
It's not like they're endangering your efforts or taking away resources from your cause, are they?

@carnage4life why not both? Both are good causes. It's okay to see only immediate picture. It's not okay to dunk on people which position you don't understand.

@daylightatheism @cstross @alexshendi @Eka_FOOF_A @ct_bergstrom Are you sure you aren't misrepresenting their point?

Bostrom refers to Pascal's Mugging[1], not the original "wager" formulation.

Anyway, the point is to **avoid** racing to unbounded rewards, disregarding any current costs.

That resolves Roko's too, and it was resolved for almost a decade now.

@gmusser @melaniemitchell did the human received the generated message and agreed to perform task?
It is the only thing that matters here. That another human did some copy-pasting is irrelevant.

@melaniemitchell GPT4 in it's chatbot harness didn't. But GPT4.5 in some agent harness can. ARC is about "pretendotyping" some future advancements before it is too late. Hell, even official ChatGPT has plugins now and it is trained to use them.

@eniko The Web was never "ours". It always have been a zero-sum race for network effect. Grow and ~~let grow~~ suck oxygen out of the room, keep your gates closed. "Have an account, install our app, your friends are already here" :blobsick:

The RSS (and related stuff) was a nice thing once and even touted as Web 2.0 too. But instead Twitter happened, then instagram, then...

re: life tips of how not to die 

@theo @cwebber for those wondering: Microwaves use a ridiculously high-voltage transformer to drive the Magnetron radio emitter. They also have so many interlocks if not opened up that it's hard to do anything with them 'by accident', you have to go looking for trouble with them

what is gender but genres for people

@q brb, opening genre-neutral book stor~

@boilingsteam Very nice demonstration on how security research goes. With so many multiplayer games out there one could build a "hackfolio" pretty quickly (=

@boilingsteam Basically abandon all silos with more than 32k users.

Being isolated AND large should be a liability, not a bragging point.

@boilingsteam Some dark (and privileged) part of me wants to see Google et al. charging for email :blobamused:
