It’s funny that belief in UFOs will briefly split on party lines for a day or two depending on which Senator finally says in no uncertain terms they’re real and they’re non-human.

I bet a lot of people think I \*want\* UAPs to be real. No, actually, I would much, much prefer we had the Milky Way to ourselves.
But that reality is starting to feel too good to be true, and that we're overdue for a scary, unpleasant reality check held back by our government.

**RT @gfodor:**
Advertising is a subset of behavior modification services, which incidentally is primary the surface area you can make money with today under the existing computing paradigm. The general business and the systems you build shift quickly once AR + VR start mediating interpersonal communication, which is Meta’s long term goal.
The terminal state for the system and model meta has currently is one where there is a market for being able to pay to attempt to alter the choices others make across any possible area not limited by the law or personal ethics of Mark Zuckerberg. Ads are a bad mental model - the best mechanism of this model in the future will be avatar hijacking and full AI avatars that are fun, charismatic, and considered people by many, who also are acting in a way to persuade you based on the highest bidder. I’ve been writing and talking and building countermeasures to this for years.

The "AI pause" thing the doomers are reaching for is silly because humans themselves can't pause AI development on Earth even if we wanted to.
The only way to pause AI without killing all humans is to have total cyber supremacy and simply hack and subvert all training runs.

Google should have put a mock sensor on the other side. Yes, even the prototype, since it was worn in public.
Quest 3 should also add non-functional elements to the front plate.
The reason they won't is because they don't consider external observers as users. They will soon.

Even if all-day immersive computing doesn't happen this year (I think it will) this shift is going to happen one day.
Eventually, consumers will not be choosing "devices", they will be choosing "ways of being."
Analysis will be about vibes and valence, not visuals and vertices.

To de-risk AI we need to first get lucky: some human needs to think something nobody else has thought yet.
Unfortunately the best way to make our own luck in such a situation is to deploy technology that accelerates thinking to the most humans - the very thing which is risky.

AI Doomers have compared AI risk to the comet from "Don't Look Up" in a boneheaded way. It's flawed because we actually know how to stop a comet.

Ah of course, you would also build inference into this. So you basically stick your fine tuning data on ipfs or arweave, buy the currency and then ask the hive to give you a prompt to interact with a fine tuned model that it decides how and when to train.

You could probably bootstrap a decentralized training network with a decentralized fine tuning network.
Smaller payloads, lower GPU requirements, but enough value that you could maybe run a cryptocurrency through it to pay tuners to tune.

This is true, but I also ran this through the Russel Conjugator 2000 to identify frame vs substance:
Many folks understandably assume, "Since we developed ChatGPT, we must fundamentally understand its mechanics."
The reality, however, is quite different. Humans didn't construct ChatGPT in the traditional sense; rather, it's more accurate to say we 'cultivated' it. This distinction doesn't negate our achievement but underscores the fascinating process behind it. Our grasp of its intricate operations is still evolving.
Our role is akin to a CEO of an aerospace company; while we may not know how to craft jets ourselves, we understand how to coordinate those who do. Our expertise lies in orchestrating the 'engineers' and facilitating their work, even though these 'engineers' never verbalize their processes or pen down their insights.
The outcome of their work is uniquely intriguing and distinctly non-human.
@NeelNanda5 (https://nitter.moomoo.me/NeelNanda5)
dedicated weeks to train a small transformer to perform simple addition. In doing so, he achieved one of the rare instances of deciphering a transformer's operation.
Behold, the algorithm it developed. To add two numbers!
So, in essence, we didn't construct ChatGPT, as most would interpret the term. What we actually did was devise a training procedure that eventually birthed ChatGPT. No one can handcraft ChatGPT, and its idiosyncrasies still surprise and inspire us. That's the beauty of this journey – we're constantly learning and growing alongside these phenomenal entities.
