  1. “I like that sentence and think it’s true.” is a phrase that still lives rent-free in my head. Every time it repeats, #NickBostrom sounds more like a moron.

    To repeat a #MichelleObama quote which also lives rent free in my head, "These people are not that smart."

    Remember that every time someone in charge claims to be the end-all be-all of anything, or tries to talk outside of their field of actual experience, especially when the #philosophy guy all the rich kids like starts talking about #genetics like he knows shit. :blobcoffeeraccoon:

  3. İnsanın içinde olduğu hiçbir düzen kusursuz olmuyor. Peki algoritmik bir toplum bunu başarabilir mi?

    Bu bölümde, Platon'un Filozof Kral'ından günümüzün algoritmik yönetimine uzanan bu serüveni ve belki de hiç ulaşamayacağımız ütopyanın peşindeki insanlık hikâyesini anlatıyorum.

    İyi Pazarlar..

  4. TIL en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Informa... An #InformationHazard or infohazard is "a risk that arises from the dissemination of (true) information that may cause harm or enable some agent to cause harm". It was formalized by philosopher #NickBostrom in 2011. #InfoHazard bsky.app/profile/math...

  7. @nazokiyoubinbou @Oobleck I wasn't advocating for LLMs training LLMs.

    I advocate that some basic supervision, as defined by #NickBostrom, be done in layers by other LLMs.

    You could have twin capability machines supervising each other with different alignment training. (any number really)

    But simpler and simpler layers might be harder to trick, and be programed to more easily alert.

    Ultimately, a layered heterogeneous supervisor-manager pattern is most likely.

  9. In his 2024 book Deep Utopia, philosopher Nick Bostrom explores a potential future where AI eliminates most resource competition and human conflict. If technology renders human labor unnecessary and eliminates many of our daily struggles, it could allow people to spend more time on fulfilling activities. Bostrom explores the implications of a post-scarcity world — and our ability to adapt to it.

  10. > #NickBostrom’s previous book, #Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies focused on what might happen if #AI development goes wrong. But what if things go right?

    > In such a solved world, what is the point of human existence? What gives meaning to life? What do we do all day?

    > #DeepUtopia shines new light on these old questions, and gives us glimpses of a different kind of existence, which might be ours in the future.

  12. Who knew a room full of white men deciding the Future would go nowhere? 🤷‍♂️

    It's Solar Punk, then Star Trek lads.....and for all of that to happen Capitalism has to die.

    Then we'll get the morphological freedom and starships that we desire 😉

  14. The Future of Humanity Institute has shutdown, seemingly without notice or warning.

    😂 LOL

    Home to Nick Bostrom, Toby Ord, and other Billionares favoured right wing, liberal Philosphers for hire. e.g. Musk was a huge fan.

    I can't wait to hear why the Oxford Faculty of Philosophy shut them down.

    It can't be funding - FHI received the faculties largest ever donation in 2018 of £13 million GBP, with promises of more.

  16. Oh man #BrianChristian’s #TheAlignmentProblem is treating #WilliamMacAskill and the whole EA/Longtermer cult seriously on pp 235-36. This is after opening shots with a #NickBostrom quote on p 223.

    Sigh.

    Let’s see if he ever gets to the eugenics & racism.

  18. Having read (and mostly enjoyed) books by Max Tegmark, Stuart Russell, Ray Kurzweil, Brian Christian, Ajay Agrawal and Nick Bostrom in recent months, its been Melanie Mitchell (AI: a guide for thinking humans), D'Iganzio & Klein (Data Feminism) and Erica Thompson (Escape from Model Land) that I think have provided some of the most balanced and insightful perspectives on AI and data science.

  23. Scientists Discover Crocodile Virgin Birth

    Reptile reproduction suggests tht dinosaurs & pterosaurs may hve been capable of parthenogenesis too, much like Jurassic Park creatures.

    & yet #NickBostrom, #ElonMusk, all #TESCREAL believers have us running dn the malign #AI #rabbithole. #Billionaires all in on #eugenics as the only 'pursuit' worth investing in.

    These guys are arrogant, myopic & worst of all spend'g their $$$ in a way that compromises us all. #StoptheArrogance #ExistenialRiskmyAss

  25. @joeblubaugh adversarially.
    As we find problems, will create AIs to detect those problems, raise a flag, and then the update function will cause the AI to learn.
    So in someways just like a teacher will teach English or Math but not both.
    We might create anti-racist AIs, anti-ageist, anti-sexist ones, and then you might layer anti-anti-ageist AIs, etc… to prevent the AIs from going to far.
