These are not solopreneurs. They’re entrepreneurs.

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.

Standard Ebooks is fantastic! In fact, I love what they're doing so much that I actually built a little SaaS product on top of their ebook collection.

The site is called Modern Serial, and it lets you read books from Standard Ebooks in 10 minutes a day as Substack-style email newsletters.

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.

Not necessarily, no.

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.

You contradict yourself

Just linking to the education tab of her profile is misleading.

Many people in AI safety are young. She has more professional experience than many leaders in the field.
