You may be interested in a recent AI safety paper by Redwood Research.
In it, they have GPT-4 generate solutions to coding problems, but instruct it to insert backdoors into the solutions some fraction of the time. Then, they explore different ways to use a weaker model (GPT-3.5) to detect these backdoors. Pretty interesting.
Slight correction: Portuguese Man-o-wars are actually considered multicellular organisms.
They’re weird organisms composed of multiple distinct animals that cannot survive independently and that originate from the same fertilized egg. But they are unambiguously multicellular.
Rectangle has worked well for me in the past, but recently, it's been losing a lot of windows. I often have to restart Brave to get Rectangle to be able to control it again.
Open source models are already being used for all kinds of nefarious purposes. Any safety controls on a model are easily stripped off once its weights are public.
Usually I love open source software. Most of my career has been spent writing open source code. But this is powerful and dangerous technology. I don’t believe that nuclear weapons should be open source and available to all either.
I can't help but think of the similarities between Frankenstein's Monster and AI. Both are human-created intelligences that learn to understand us by observing our behavior and writings.
Execute Program is one of the best tools for learning a programming language out there. I’ve worked through several of your courses on TypeScript and the Modern JavaScript, SQL, and Regex courses as well. Can’t wait for this one.
Alternative explanation: ketamine isn’t better than placebo for treating depression when given to someone who’s under anesthesia. You have to be awake.
Similarly, I bet that if you gave psilocybin to someone under anesthesia, they wouldn’t get the same benefits as someone who took it while awake.
It makes sense the CEO would either step down or be forcibly removed by the board.
Unity's mishandling of the Runtime Fee policy announcement has caused permanent damage to their reputation. It was a perfect case study in how to undo decades of trust-building in one day.
I follow a lot of game developers online. Every single one that uses Unity today is planning to switch engines for their future games.
I haven’t had any issues with that. However I don’t send any marketing emails, and since people are paying me to send them these emails I think the chance of getting flagged as spam is particularly low.
