Cheaper to just buy a 60 OZ Kirkland vodka and invert it into the existing water cooler come party time. Or these which sadly aren’t available anymore: https://www.cbc.ca/news/can…

Looks like they updated the article to say 20,000 litres of additional fuel, it wasn’t like that before as what I posted above was a copy paste. Edit: it actually says at the bottom: (This story…

I’m glad he feels this way and is standing up for this, even if I didn’t agree with lots of metas practice in the past (they are the same company that wouldn’t let people have access to the original l…

> The first aircraft, which carries 20,000 litres of fuel and can seat 238 passengers Pretty sure a zero is missing right? Wikipedia says normal A350 capacity is ~150k litres if I’m looking at th…

Why would it obviously give attackers the upper hand? If we accept the premise that AI helps find vulns more efficiently, shouldn’t this be at least equally helpful in securing against attacks and mak…

Right, it’s really a foundation of post enlightenment society. These people, Dario et al, would have wanted to ban sharing information about calculus or Newtonian physics because of “safety” - it’s tr…

> If "Mythos-class" models are such a problem, then... why not just let it fix everyone's code? Because it doesn’t really confer the advantage they claim, especially compared to e.g.…
comment
Anyone who calls it “safety” probably has a certain world view and is more aligned with the big 2 (and stuck in 2023). There is a growing industry of commercially focused risk evals that has a broader…

You forgot “what is the definition of ‘sufficiently capable’”. Presumably it’s anything that competes with Anthropic. If they’re around in a year, presumably they won’t care about Fable level and will…

> I want AI as an assistant that helps me make decisions, and ensures that I'm in the driver's seat. Right now we’re still in the benchmaxxing phase, I feel like most AI models of combina…
comment
Definitely agree, at a big company anyway there is nothing to be gained by sending these, or by any communication not directly related to the process. It doesn’t come across as genuine, it’s neutral t…

I think there’s a kind of laundering that goes on. Like if leadership just told devs to go build something (gave them a prompt) and the devs picked some defaults, leadership wouldn’t like it, they’d w…

Nothing personal, if someone told me they’d generated a 15 page paper based on a two week LLM discussion I wouldn’t want to read it at all. My prior is that it would be the result of some sycophantic …
comment
Just send me the prompt if you’re going to write with AI. No point in trying to convince me it’s great, the marginal cost for me to re-run the prompt is zero, just send the prompt - it’s like unzippin…

#1 in a very close race is way less useful when you have to walk on eggshells to avoid triggering censorship (“safeguards”) that either refuse or knock it down to another model. I’ve almost completely…
comment
You should assume the weights have been poisoned, the model has been prompt injected, etc and design software around it accordingly. You can’t really trust the model and it makes sense to always have …
comment
The open weights models would be even more effective by incentivizing people and companies to switch jurisdictions. It might even break SFs monopoly on AI, or at least weaken it, everybody isn’t there…

I’m in a bubble so I may not see the big picture, but I feel like these guys are completely destroying any kind of credibility they had. Anthropic especially has this arrogant, “we’re smarter than you…
