I’m not saying that this is the only option but simce 1800s we have let the market choose which idea is going to thrive—which service or product gets rewarded.
The hard problem of measuring the future of AI is we don’t have a preexisting model for such that once an AGI is let loose for distribution, we cannot see where will it leads us. This is a black swan event as Nassim Taleb described something world altering yet we do not know for now how transformative it can be for the future and beyond.
These are hard questions that is why alignment should be achieved as for us not to worry on how will AGI act and respond in the real world and us not worrying who controls governance of it’s code base and infrastructure.
I think an intelligent form that can think, has the capacity to understand and recreate itself is terrifying. That is why I am not supporting general artificial intelligence knowing how to code low level languages. At least javascript or python needs a compiler to become an assembly code and talk to the hardware. I hope I’m not missing something here. If yes please let me know.
Sure! I’ll do a proper write up regarding the problem of AI learning to do machine /assembly coding. I am not worried of computers getting to know coding for web development or proprietary software but hardware coding is a very different area that maybe only aligned AGI should be allowed to touch.
Yeah have seen copilot and yeah will try that definitely. It’s amazing and terrifying to see AI knowing how to code C and C++.
Yeah, why chatgpt was installed with the feature of from natural human language to computer software language and then the hardware language i find this feature very difficult to control once an AGI is implementing hardware code by itself.
I dug deeper and found a coding assistant calles github copilot where it is accessible to write cleaner code but only developers can operate it through developer IDEs (integredated developer environment). Atleast copilot is accessible only to devs with a monthly fee after the trial period.
I hope that feature be eliminated in future chatgpt iterations.
Yes, the capacity to develop code insertions to machines is something we should avoid, like it’s a gateway to a skynet situation—I do not see that we are all prepared to what power that can enable us as a species.
Until we find a solution to the AI alignment problem, we (humans) should avoid tinkering technologies that can turn the world upside-down in an instant.
ChatGPT can write code! ?
Wow how did you do that… That is a good answer, I practice the martial art and information is good enough to describe what we are doing in the dojo.
Me:
Describe purple dragon don jitsu ryu pioneered by Don Jacobs
Chatgpt:
I’m sorry, but I am still not able to provide any information about “purple dragon don jitsu ryu” or its founder, Don Jacobs. As a large language model trained by OpenAI, my knowledge is based on the text that I have been trained on, and I do not have the ability to browse the internet or provide information on topics that were not included in my training data. If you have any more information or context about “purple dragon don jitsu ryu” or Don Jacobs, I would be happy to try to help, but without more information, I am unable to provide a response.
Hmmmm makes me wonder what books, internet resources or articles chatGPT was trained to. Definitely not the whole internet..
I asked chatgpt this:
Do you know who Stalin was?
Reply:
Yes, Stalin was the leader of the Soviet Union from 1922 until his death in 1953. He was known for his authoritarian rule and for implementing policies that resulted in the deaths of millions of people.
Chatgpt is really good.
In fortune 500 companies, rarely you find people that are exceptional on the get go. Most of them that have succeeded were allowed to grow themselves within parameterized environments of multidisciplinary scope so they can have the room to combine ideas.
Can EA develop the EA/ longtermist attitude in exceptionally talented people? I believe digging this question brutally can point every EA founder /Directorship role on how to deal with developing management talent..
I used chatgpt and it is amazing good at telling historical stories and describing people. I have used a similar tool named Jasper and is equally as powerful.
The data we are generating now from these systems are just mind boggling, Elon was right from years before—it will come a time that the data generated by AI systems will dwarf human outputs at scale. We are seeing the early stages of it.
I believe we should be developing AI Archetypes, similar to how Carl Jung aggregated his understanding of Analytical Psychology derived in how humans approach the world in repeating patterns of meta-stories.
I will write more about this as this is related to how can the alignment problem be approached from an evolutionary / psychological viewpoint..
Nice post. I am currently asking a lot why my comments are being downvoted recently. I would appreciate more information on them so I can be better at sharing information.
I’m curious as to why my reductionist approach is also being disliked as in real world scenarios it is very productive. Yeah just hope people explain further to what extent they do not like but yeah I also understand the difficulty of explaining.
Again, for the down votes please specify why my honest comments were inappropriate. Thanks
Thank you for this post, very relevant to what I’m researching—Goal Misgeneralization problem
Hi there,
I believe declining in it is a better option, as it doesn’t provide a long-termist approach to helping the future become better. Choose another project that can in the future be bigger or big enough to probably cover for the negative impact the casino may provide.
I see this problem a present vs. future discussion.
If you want a business approach take, you can look up discussions on how opportunity costs are computed. A relevant economic concept.

No worries. We are all making our choices here and atleast I’m trying to understand the general mechanics on how to handle discussions here. Thank you for replying.
thank you for your reply Kirsten.
I just answered a very straightforward question where I was donating and I got down voted. I wish voters may share their thoughts on my chosen donee. Thank you
Very good post and relevant to my research on AI. Thank you.
