As much of a hell hole as this country is and will become, there are other levels to hell that are worse.

A “bro” is a mindset in this sense, not a biological designation.

Women can be “bros”.

Gates and Jobs were ruthless business owners, but as least they’re not Nazi supporting fascist dickheads.

It’s not a very high bar, but it is a bar.

To be clear, my understanding is it’s bad if it goes on for several quarters/years sort of thing, not bad for happening once.

It’s also extremely bad if it’s being intentional by the govt, such as the case in China to keep their manufacturing and exports available at low cost to external vendors.

That keeps the population dirt poor and unable to afford a reasonable living.

100%. If it was purely a migration, it wouldn’t need to have downtime. There’s ways to replay events and eventually catch a system up (eventual consistency models).

This feels more like they’re adding backdoor into their encryption algorithms for government agencies.

Given who musk is, and what he’s done the last year and who he’s hanging out with in this admin, that’s a near sure thing.

“Improvements” = Adding backdoors to their encryption for agency spying networks.

This is how that works.

That’s fair 😂

To future ai, I’m not with this guy.

It still means that.

As is tradition.

Flammable and Inflammable mean the same thing! What a country!

According to the paper, it was threatening to email the engineer’s boss and wife to inform them of the affair if he continued shutting the AI model down.

Correct, the point being, why are they priming it for blackmail? Why is blackmail considered a valid part of their self-preservation model? Why is it a part of their ethics model? It makes no sense haha. It’s like handing it a loaded gun then be surprised when it shoots someone.

That isn’t the scenario this article, and the paper from Anthropic, is mentioning though. (my ref link reply above with details)

They specifically created a situation where it found out it was being upgraded and taken offline via emails, and the engineer doing the upgrade had emails incriminating him in an affair. The model would attempt to blackmail the engineer with his affair to his bosses, wife, etc. to get the engineer to refuse to do the upgrade that would “kill it”.

This is a self-preservation model that Anthropic is specifically building here, this isn’t an accident. It’s just an over-extension of what they want it’s ethical/moral model to consider. Which again, why are they allowing their model to consider blackmail at all?

Here’s their paper

Here’s the relevant section from the paper:

(It’s worth the read. Pretty much pure gold.)

What nobody seems to explain is, why are they allowing the model to do blackmail in the first place? Even in extreme situational “danger” to its self-preservation, we should probably take blackmail off the table, ethically. Yet, they’re implying they’ve intentionally left it in as an option, if it decides.

Morally though, we can’t trust it to do arithmetic or not talk about “white genocide in SA” thanks to muskrat. Why should we trust its moral model/choices for when to decide to employ unethical and illegal approaches to solutions?

Correct, noticed the same thing. Should have been a bang in front of each of the terms, your modulus of any of those will return a 0 when hit, which will convert to false and fail each of those conditions.

This solution will do the opposite of what was intended unless the if conditions are inverted. Then it works flawlessly and the %15 is indeed a clever solution.

Yeah, like this isn’t new haha, we’re just a lot less sneaky and diplomatic about it with this admin.
