  • My in very bad taste remark: well we need to weigh one dead kid on the one side an on the otherside there is the millions of people who would be unhappy if they couldn't easily make dustpecks stupid political memes with a piss filter.

  • I know everybody here has heard of it, but in the small chance it breaks containment: use notepad++ it is great.

  • That is his concern and not the billionaires behind it messing with the systems so much you cant prompt override it? Please tell me this guy doesnt work in AI alignment.

  • He isnt the only weird fascist attracted to digital porn. And not just the rank and file.

  • Sadly, the orcas go after sailing boats not the big motorized yachts, less eat the rich and more eat the upper middle class.

  • Somebody on LW also thought so, and they replied they are 100% serious. Which still could be trolling. Lot of effort for no payoff however. Personally I think this person is just very young. I can get a teenager going all in on this. (a teenager being this much into IQ stuff is pretty bad tbh).

  • Dolphins tend to be pretty good hackers.

    So perhaps orcas can be too.

    Still from the movie Johnny Mnemonic (1995), on the left is Keanu Reeves playing Johnny Mnemonic in a black and white suit sitting in a chair with a large cyberpunk helmet on his face. He is gripping the chair tightly. On the right there is Jones the Dolphin, a model of a diseased looking dolphin swimming in a dirty small tank with a large cyberpunk implant on his face.

  • Lesswronger reads about Orcas the first time in their life. Decided that training them to become smarter than humans is now the next important step.

    (I'm very very far from an orca expert - basically everything I know about them I learned today.)

    They made several posts about it, and just the opening bits are funny. I obv didn't read any of them an only looked at the opening statements. I will produce a quote from each.

    It is currently plausible (352115%[1]23%) to me that average orcas have at least as high potential for being great scientists as the greatest human scientists, modulo their motivation for doing science[2].

    Yes, the weird percentage is in the text, the [1] footnote says 15%, no idea why they can't edit their text normally.

    (For speed of writing, I mostly don't cite references. Feel free to ask me in the comments for references for some claims.)

    Context: I think there’s a ~17% chance that average orcas are >=+6std intelligent.

    And from the last article, two lines as a treat:

    TLDR: I now think it’s <1% likely that average orcas are >=+6std intelligent.

    (I now think the relevant question is rather whether orcas might be >=+4std intelligent, since that might be enough for superhuman wisdom and thinking techniques to accumulate through generations, but I think it’s only 2% probable. (Still decently likely that they are near human level smart though.))

    (Nice of the person to think of the orcas btw, just wish it was more preservation than 'how can we make these animals help us out).

    E: apparently "An alternative approach to superbabies" is also about orcas, they just no longer stand behind it.

    Can someone please look into this?

  • Man doesnt get to do everything he wants, this means woman has all the power. Problem with seeing everything as a hierarchy means you cant see partnerships.

  • From the other reactions, dont have the energy to read it atm (it was this or orcas), looks like he is recreating heartiste from first principles.

  • I assume these 'ai debuggers' are for looking inside the AI black box when they AI goes 'yes I'm very sorry I will not do it again' before doing it again.

  • I appreciate it, and this also gives us an easy way to discuss it as Zitron seems to be quite popular here. So makes sense to me to just also post it here. And not everybody uses RSS (or Eds one).

  • What the hell does that even mean, lmao?

    Feel like people are just reaching for things 'clearly we need tools to help us with the process, so lets just call them debuggers for AI'

  • Yeah I did a search for "stack overflow" and found zero results so think search was a bit buggy atm. Votes also not showing atm for example. Not sure if by design.
