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.“

Healthcare and financial services may make more use of AI. #BeAfraid #BeVeryAfraid #TFDx

Despite my tiredness I decided to finish slip-stitching the right cuff after all.

Can confirm: yes, I do have the focus, commitment, and sheer will to stab something a thousand times.

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.

ChatGPT's 155 IQ and passing the Sebastian's children puzzle

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 22 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.

CGPT 4 helps build the code to build CGPT 5. Don’t worry, it’s not a positive feedback loop. #beafraid

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.

It’s very bullish. His list of things to fear is much too short. #AI #beafraid

Noah Simpson on Lower Haight’s AI Tech Culture and it’s antecedents.

https://noahpinion.substack.com/p/ai-techies

Some of the best parts of his essay are descriptions of older tech cultures. I was there a few months ago and this explains some puzzles. The social scene reminds me of Caltech student houses in 70s.

Also, Noah is ancient for this crowd.

In 2008 Aaronson said the #AI #Singularity was reassuringly far away.
https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=346

Today: “I apologize for anything I said before the deep learning revolution that was, on balance, overly dismissive of the scenario…” https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=7042

If you know who Aaronson is then you know Team #beAfraid got a big boost today. (Note - Aaronson is keen to talk with the God Emperor to come.)

PS. I like to think I had a bit part in his responding to his 2008 post.

Google engineer Blake Lemoine - LaMDA AI “sentient”. June 2002.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/06/11/google-ai-lamda-blake-lemoine/

He was fired. His cognitive science background likely informed his definition of sentient. Many laughed at him. I did not laugh then, I do not laugh now. #beafraid #AI #ChatGPT

Note how this works. The language model “speaks” *then* the integrator “understands” and then the math module is invoked.

This may also be how some of us think. (Studies of mind suggest multiple flavors of consciousness. Famously some people have an internal narrator, others do not.)

@paul Welcome to Team #beAfraid. At least we won’t need to worry about climate change.

Also, what does the XP tag mean?

On a further note, dying your own hair is as much self care as it is a crime scene cleanup job training.

Can't leave the bathtub looking like I've murdered someone in it, now can I.
