You're not wrong exactly, but if the crappy cheater AI treats collapsing the system to degeneracy as a valid optimal solution to its prediction task, maybe we'd deserve to be wiped out for releasing it with apocalyptic-level powers and such an inferior objective.
Fortunately there's a really simple solution to offer it, in just wiring measurement to "prediction" directly (perfect correspondence, and much lower effort than annihilating Life and removing the atmosphere).
And I don't particularly believe a system like that can be a general problem solver, much less one that climbs to World-jeopardizing influence on its own.
I don't see how measurement helps. The ASI correctly calculates that collapsing the system maximizes its reward function before it measures the result. We already see degenerate solutions in toy models, e.g. playing Tetris forever by leaving the game paused. The real world has many more degrees of freedom. It's unreasonable to think an inferior intelligence can predict and patch all the exploits on its first attempt (and we only get the one).
It's a foundational part of the sickness in people like Trump that anything bad is by definition somebody else's fault, and clearly his cultists just keep lapping up his lies no matter how insane and transparent.
This. Anything (accidentally) good was totally intended by Trump. Anything bad was because of evil ultra-leftists sabotaging his intended good, and not because Trump made even the tiniest of mistakes.
To an extent, since we’re all human. But conservatives, regardless of nationality, are unified by one characteristic that makes them more susceptible to this kind of propaganda.
Conservatives lack the ability to empathize abstractly. Due to their extreme emphasis on being self-centered, they are deficient in understanding that what happens to another can happen to them.
Once something bad happens to them, they are able to start to see the threads that bind them to others and society. But it’s only once it’s been made personal that there’s a chance of this recognition occurring.
So “us good, them bad” style of mob thinking is more common in conservatives only because they systematically do not ask themselves “are we actually different from them?”
Hands up everyone who thinks the mandatory GPT use mentioned in the post drives towards instructing 'Summarize all employee input since last review and score their performance for salary changes. Also recommend whether to fire or retain. Also format all valuable actions taken for use as training data'
Yeah, it's weird to me that we don't see more of statements like that.
I'm slightly in two minds about the evacuation though. On the one hand, I think this is category of people who are pretty high priority for considerably worse persecution than malicious defunding and shakedowns by semi-official thugs, and they should consider their own well-being and hopefully being able to keep contributing to science.
On the other hand, it's definitely also a category of people who would be needed if there's to be any hope of recovery.
There are more European academics in the US than American academics in Europe. Mostly because it has been easier to get an academic position and research funding in the US. As long as European countries are not making major permanent increases to university/research funding, they are not serious about attracting academic talent from the US.
I came back to say pretty much that. Since these buzzwords as used in most of society today barely mean anything at all, the writer was probably happy enough to namecheck something vaguely positive and endorsed to do with environment stuff.
It would have tickled my funny bone if they'd gone with "Green" in this case.

In my book, if anything was disrespectful it's the flippant attitude of dismissing sabotage of the opposition candidate as just one more step towards the death of democracy in Turkey. (And I'm not claiming that was necessarily out of line. Seems basically well-intentioned to me.)
The comparison is pretty apt, and extremely current. More or less the whole world is watching with horror (or glee, depending on political values), as the US is on a fast track to repressive autocracy.
Does that mean it's perfectly feasible to have more if one accepts a higher latency? Seems like there could be plenty of use cases where that's preferable.
Not exactly. The name of the game with GDDR memory is "speed on the cheap." To do this, it uses a parallel bus with data rates pushed to the max. Not much headroom for things that could compromise signal integrity like socketed parts, or even board traces longer than they absolutely need to be. That's why the DRAM modules are close to the GPU and they're always soldered down.
Also, the latency with GDDR7 is pretty terrible. It uses PAM3 signaling with a cursed packet encoding scheme. At least they were nice enough to add in a static data scrambler this time around! The lack of RLL was kind of a pain in GDDR6.
