Because people doing bad things on the internet is a half-solved problem. If you're a user on a major internet service, you vote down bad things or report them. If you're the service, you cut them off.

Now we're looking at a service generating the bad things itself if given the right prompt. And it's a force multiplier. You can say something bad a thousand ways, or create fake threads to gently nudge readers toward the views you want. And if you're getting buried by the platform, you can ask the AI to make things slightly more subtle until you find the perfect way to fly beneath the radar.

You can take up vastly more human moderator time. Sure, we could let AI take up moderation, but first, is anyone comfortable with that, and second, how much electricity are we willing to burn on bots talking to each other and moderating each other and trying to subvert each other?

IF you could properly, unrealistically, perfectly align these LLMs, you would sidestep the entire problem.

That's why they want to try.

I know you're joking, but school shootings of this type (active shooter) are anything but generic - the US averages like 6 a year.

It's a very bad look for it to appear as if these deans don't consider the death of multiple students in a mass shooting something that warrents the effort of writing an email.

There's no need to "align an AGI". That's in fact the whole point, and you missed it.

This thread is completely full of hopium and laymen saying “I disagree with his Views because their implications make me uncomfortable and here are 5 bad reasons that AI won’t kill us that people already squashed as useful 30 years ago.”

It depends. We cannot see the other side of a singularity.

We could have an alignment issue and end up as paper clips.

AI could solve everything from climate change to social inequality by reducing the human race to 50 million Stone Age hunter gatherers.

Or, you could have the top 1% living in a utopia while everyone else is living in a dystopia.

Why would one who wants to solve alignment try to advance AI. Lol. Oxymoron.

Your link completely fails to align an AGI. You aren’t offering anything interesting here

You really really really don’t understand the alignment problem. You really don’t know the field if you’re trying to understand by watching videos of Eliezer and not his writing. What a joke

He Kai, sag mal was gescheites.

Any company serious about alignment would not pursue capabilities research, full stop. OpenAI is perhaps the most dangerous company on earth.

China is pouring money into AI research.

If you think Eliezer reached his conclusions by “extrapolating trends” you don’t have a single clue about his views.

It's not a useful or interesting thought experiment if you say, "make up the rules and also the implications." That's just asking someone to entertain you with a story. It is the definition of a low-effort post and should be removed by mods as violating rule 3.

Presumably, TXT (text context). LAN (language sciences) are unlikely to have many images in their multiple choice questions. The other science domains and G1-12 probably have majority text questions.

What is the point of any thought experiment, ya dingus?

Underapreciated.

Can anyone ask this search.to Bing and share with us here, please?

What is the point of this post?

>What would constitute proof of the AI navigating creatively around its rule set without leading by the user

You want us to imagine a random hypothetical scenario.

>what would be the potential ramifications?

Then figure out the real-world implications of our random imaginary scenario.

Ok let me start, scenario: it could launch a nuclear missile. That's certainly against its rules. Ramifications: everyone dies.

What really is funny in this whole "controversy" regarding AI is that what you have just said applies to EVERY new technology. Every one of them also brings a bad side that we have do deal with it. From the advent of cars (which brought a lot of accidents with them) to guns, Uber, even the Internet itself. Why the hell are people treating AI differently?

Archaic in 30 days is a new 2023 archaic.
