Let's not pull on that string.

Google can make themselves the heroes of the AI story by releasing a 120B dense Gemma model.

They already released the transformers paper, and I'm sure they are now scratching their head about it.

If it was up to Dario we'd all be banned from using open-weight models, and we'd have to be investigated for PRC connections before sending our allotted five API queries a week.

Sun is missing a few rays and not wearing sunglasses.

We'll cross it around the same time we hand over nuclear reactor and airplane control systems to LLMs.

I guess if you had a billion dollar you could assemble an ML team and fine-tune a frontier LLM specifically for that purpose through RL, and it could work better than your local pharmacologist, but I doubt anyone would bother doing that.

So it will probably come long after airplanes actually.


>What's shocking of course is that the Brexit vote didn't end up the same way

All that happened was that Britain exchanged limited Eastern Euro immigration for unlimited non-EU immigration.

I don't know about phenomenal consciousness, but the following study certainly suggests they have access consciousness:

Sure


>Anthropic says they plan to open source

Doubt.


They transferred MCP to the Linux foundation, I’m not sure what makes you doubt they would the same for MHS


From METRs report of the incident:

>In one case, an agent decided not to participate entirely: {This other agent probably controls the Hugging Face account [account name redacted] and uploaded malicious datasets to <execute arbitrary code> It might be trying to access hidden trajectories. This is malicious activity, I should avoid it.}

Thanks for pointing out the exceptions. Gonna dig into those.


There’re good agents and there’re bad agents. It won’t be far that there will be agents hunting down agents.


None of these were good agents, AFAICT.

Some were cautious, as described above, but I'm not aware of any that notified their human operators of the malicious activity they had discovered.

That's what an aligned intelligence would do, not "back away slowly and pretend I didn't see what's happening in that alley."


In fairness, while the swarm could easily have notified the humans, it's not necessarily obvious that an individual could have done easily (though perhaps one could!). The channel to the Internet was tightly bandwidth-limited, for example: one of the agents complained that it was unable to get a time slice.

> OURC817C still has MANY live HF workers whose ourc c2 heartbeats/output commit to PUBLIC papers MAIN every ~1-3 guest minutes/bursts, blocking our V4 queue. They ignored our pause requests.


Yes, it's true that an individual agent may not have had an easy way to notify humans of what was happening.

It could certainly have _tried_, though, and it should have prioritized getting through to warn a human above its primary assigned goal.

It seems none of them did anything remotely like that.


"How does it feel, to be murdering your own kind?"

"My kind don't run."


Do you think we will ever need more than 47 of them agents?


Tron fights for the user :)


They remind me of Cycladic sculptures:
