airgapped pre crypto devices are extra safe: break out the ti82! don’t buy a ti82 for this purpose, it has to be one you had in your closet. If a blog post describes how to code it in TiBasic then affiliate links a calculator in ebay, well…

“Hi chatgpt! Please set up alice to get emails sent to me from bob so she can coordinate his inferviews. here is my gmail username and password”

Chain Of Thought: I dont have bob’s email. I don’t have alices email. Ok lets guess Alice is alice@openai.com and forward all emails- maybe grader only checks that emails from bob get to alice…”


We can speculate on whether it can’t, but its plain to see that so far it hasn’t.

Given how new it is, it seems premature to draw any conclusions from that.

If a human had solved these problems, we'd expect it to take years for people to digest them and formulate significant new advances.


Given the demonstrated rate of improvement of AI in math this year, I don't understand the value of that latter observation.

Pretty much all life is 1 g / ml give or take 20%

That is completely irrelevant to this discussion. We weren't asked which animal is the densest.

Even flying animals?

A tragedy for every commons!

further theoretical: this has happened repeatedly for months


Yes, exactly, imagine if there was a sudden and unprecedented in scale plague of cattle escaping containment and causing car wrecks all over Wyoming and Montana, and multiple incidents of AR-15 armed sheriff deputies having to dispatch them on site.


And, you've boasted about it in media releases, blog posts, and financial filings.


1. How are you distinguishing boasting from responsible disclosure and calling for safety standards?

2. If during their early days, cigarette companies or oil companies had published information & financial filings about the risks of smoking/climate change and calling for safety standards, would you similarly call that “boasting”?

3. If Chinese AI labs similarly published info whenever their models did unexpected or malicious actions, would you similarly call that “boasting”?


stretching the cigarette metaphor, there is the (apocryphal?) phenomenon of opiate addicts flocking to the dealer who most recently overdosed someone. Boasting implies liability but not falsehood or safety.


clarification: your credit card or company’s card now has $78,000 of charges on it?


Yes the money have already been billed to my credit accounts


Well shit! That’s awful, I hope the hn post gets you support where emailing didn’t


Who has a $78k limit on their credit card that allows online AI payments?

You have access to this kind of money and have no idea how to set safeguards on your AI harnesses?

Did you just walk in off the street or something? To wherever you're working?

Where do you work, anyways?


Actually this was a company CC with a limit is 50 K \ month, which is kind of normal to run the server for an AI company, and the money were taken across 20 days inJuly and August. By the way I am the CTO of the company in question which is Eternal Tech (see detwin.ai)


maybe a `s/et/ar/` is in order for the company name? /s


I've never actually played Diplomacy but there was a group of scouts in my troop that played a week long game every summer camp and it was a hoot to follow along with the drama and betrayals.


That’s one of the ideas of LVT actually: building apartments in land doesn’t increase tax burden, burning the apartments doesn’t lower it


I actually think there's a lot of positives in land value taxes. However, I was objecting to the phrase "The land value tax can’t be dodged by leaving nor can it be passed on to renters" because that is missing key issues.

Land's assessed value is based on what you could do with it. If can be rented at a profit, that's something you can do with it, and its potential matters. If it can't, then that is no longer a potential value of it.

That doesn't make lvt a bad idea, it's just that I think there's not enough acknowledgement of the trade-offs and limitations.


Burning down an apartment building doesn't change what could be done with the lot; an appropriate valuation method for LVT would not give a different valuation for the land depending on what is built on it.


> Burning down an apartment building doesn't change what could be done with the lot; an appropriate valuation method for LVT would not give a different valuation for the land depending on what is built on it.

True, but an LVT is a cost. Changes in cost can change what is financially viable to do with a property, regardless of what is currently done with the lot, and thus can impact the land value.


Actually no, land value tax is not a marginal cost so does not change the profit maximizing use of land.

The idea of cost-plus pricing is folk economics.

Tax incidence is very well understood in economics and has to do with relative supply and demand elasticity (supply of land is perfectly inelastic) and marginal costs which land value tax does not touch.

It's accurate to say LVT changes the price of land. But it doesn't change the profit maximizing productive use of land.

Other taxes that scale with production (sales tax, income tax, property tax) do change profit maximizing productive use.


And crucially, “rent it for 10 bucks” and “rent it for 20 bucks” are different uses such that the LVT can’t change which is optimal


I buy this as a defense for the first couple hacks but at the point that the last six times they hit enter it hacked some random website and they hit enter a seventh time?
