Some say Trump, but I think the most dangerous person in the world is also the richest.

Elon Musk is an empirically evil bond villain without the intelligence, class… or brakes. And he delights in the wielding the vast power he’s amassing. #beAfraid.

Ladies and gentlement, I here provide you a taste of what will be replacing Trump after he is dead/gone/impeached/what-ever.

I hope you like Trump, because Vance is going to be a whole lot worse.

Remember when The Nation Magazine posted an image of GWB on their front page with the text"
BE AFRAID
be very afraid

Back in 1999 when he was (s)elected.

Sorry to post so much about #dumbfuckistan.

I recall when some were reassured by the math limitations of LLMs.

“It allows the AI to do math (very complex math) and do more accurate work with words (like actually counting words in a paragraph), since it can write Python code to address the natural weaknesses of Large Language Models in math and language.“

By next year, posts on most social media will get a lot more verbose, as AI bots trip over themselves trying to board the latest tech gravy train. Watch for armies of previously very dumb or dull accounts, suddenly having a lot to say. #BeAfraid

I’m not big on moral panics. but you’d have to be a complete idiot to not see a slew of bad outcomes coming from AI image tools this easy to use. Among others, our politics are about to be overrun with bogus images showing politicians talking to animals. Or screwing them. Most will get debunked, eventually, but many will do a lot of personal and societal damage beforehand. #beAfraid

GPT-4 gets a B on final exam for Aaronson's Introduction to Quantum Information Science. The wolf is here.

https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=7209

Without doing the course. About average for the brilliant undergrads who dare this class. Likely would do better with Mathematica plug-in.

Also got an A in Bryan Caplan's Labor Econ midterm. After losing his bet Caplan said: "AI enthusiasts have cried wolf for decades. GPT-4 is the wolf. I’ve seen it with my own eyes."

I see threads about how our testing measures the wrong things because C4* does better on the tests than the vast majority of humans.

This is known as begging the question. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Begging_the_question). Also, motivated reasoning.

This is for all the people who are not afraid of ChatGPT 4.

A few weeks ago I wrote a blog post on tips for geriatric #crossfit

Today I asked GPT to write a similar post. It's kb is from fall 21 so it doesn't have my post.

You can see both mine and ChatGPT here:

Fuck but it's good.

I figured that would be another “warning” that was about something manageable (bad search), but he’s got my fears from a slightly different angle.

I think we are #fucked. HOWEVER, in 1945 I would have bet on nuclear catastrophe by 1960. My prediction accuracy is not great.

I ask ChatGPT about the next step: NLP and domain-specific knowledge modules.

https://notes.kateva.org/2023/03/i-ask-chatgpt-about-next-step.html?m=1

A better answer than 99% of the online comments on ChatGPT.

But don’t worry. It will be fine.
