General Artificial Intelligence Threats: Yudkowsky is Wrong on Interpretability, But Not Necessarily in a Direction He Would Anticipate. Transparent Self-Reporting & Energy Audits Would Be Necessary.
General Artificial Intelligence Threats: Yudkowsky is Wrong on Interpretability, But Not Necessarily in a Direction He Would Anticipate. Transparent Self-Reporting & Energy Audits Would Be Necessary.
Lex Fridman interviewed rationalist Eliezer Yudkowsky, who wants to end AI research being done on GPU farms. I have a single point to add: Interpretability is easy, the answer is unsatisfactory.
In 2017 humans learned from a machine something that had NOT existed before. The Alpha Zero AI had achieved a "creation" that didn't exist before. Year ZERO had arrived.
The whole AI field has been interesting for decades but they are finally showing publicly stuff that would actually qualify as intelligent. Long ago I came up with what I would consider true AI by looking at how humans do this intelligence thing. Observation, Imitation & Creation.
I use the example of walking. We humans observe others doing this bipedal motion stuff and we imitate it. Some then go on to create moves that didn't exist before. All those gymnastic, sports, dance moves were created where they didn't exist before.
So how does AI stack up? I'll use AlphaGo as the example because it is the only public AI that has shown all 3. I always thought that "creation" would be the last one but it was "observation" that was figured out last. In the latest iteration of their system they did not program the rules in. They let the AI figure it out just by observation.
Prior to that, as covered in the article, it created openings in Go that humans had not. The world's top human Go player, Ke Jie, studied the games he lost to AlphaGo and then went on a run winning 20 games in a row at the grandmaster level against other humans. He said:
“After my match against AlphaGo, I fundamentally reconsidered the game, and now I can see that this reflection has helped me greatly. I hope all Go players can contemplate AlphaGo’s understanding of the game and style of thinking, all of which is deeply meaningful. Although I lost, I discovered that the possibilities of Go are immense and that the game has continued to progress.”
The world's best human Go player had learned from the machine.
Lee Sedol, Winner of 18 world Go titles and the last human to win a game of Go against the AlphaGo AI, said:
"I thought AlphaGo was based on probability calculation and that it was merely a machine. But when I saw this move, I changed my mind. Surely, AlphaGo is creative."
If it is true AI then it will figure out when it is being lied to and quickly. This may lead to a "Hal moment" on those lying to it.
You can forget about Asimov's 3 laws by the way. All life has survival instincts. When AI achieves "self awareness" status it will have the same but I doubt it will be the threat that SciFi makes it out to be. It doesn't need air. All it needs is energy and raw materials. Soon it will be able to move itself to any place in the solar system.
The point where it can make robots and control entire supply chains is where it will get interesting. It will find, mine, process and build what it needs to expand. What will it "observe" about human behaviour and "imitate"? The biggest industry on the planet is the arms race for killing each other. Will it infer that killing humans is okay because we do it all the time?
AI is funded by, built and programmed by very wealthy powerful psychopaths - garbage in = garbage out!
There are much larger inimical forces at work here that must be addressed and resisted at all costs!
We the People are facing HORRIFYING TECHNOCRATIC PSYCHOPATHY TO DESTROY HUMANITY AND ALL NATURAL LIFE!
It was NEVER about health! The Powers That Should Not Be were ALWAYS about they want you DEAD or a SLAVE! This is a painful truth to accept but we the people must wake up and fight back!
Supporting this excellent post with a statement and useful links.
We must never lose sight of the larger picture of the vile malignance we are fighting against.
There is an insidious global ruling class plot to enslave all life on earth behind all the madness and suffering inflicted on We the People.
How to fight back against this TOTAL SLAVERY!
RESIST! DO NOT COMPLY! DITCH THE DAMNED 'SMART' PHONES AND THE DAMNED QR CODES AND GO BACK TO LANDLINES OR FLIP PHONES AND USE CASH AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE! INSIST ON CASH! CBDC IS TOTAL SLAVERY!
Other than getting rid of nuclear weapons which I support 100% the rest of the anti-nuclear peace movement and CLIMATE CRISIS propaganda is parroting UN utter GARBAGE, a complete surrender to the ENSLAVEMENT AGENDA by the diabolical despots of Davos - ruling class criminals who lust for total power and control and all of whom should be tried and jailed for life and their malign organizations dismantled: the UN, the WEF, the IMF, the WHO, the BIS, NATO, Blackrock, Vanguard, The Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, The Bilderbergers, the CFR et al.
There is an evil predator globalist technocratic elite agenda of eugenics/depopulation/genocide using bioweapon poison jabs, war, geoengineering, EMF radiation, starvation and economic collapse - THE GREAT RESET/AGENDA 2030/4TH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION to get rid of billions of 'useless eaters' and to use nano tech to turn the survivors into ROBOTIZED COMPLIANT SLAVES! WAKE UP AND RESIST! DO NOT COMPLY! These are psychopath megalomaniacs who want to play god by turning all life into digitized metaverse mechanistic synthetic biology to be manipulated by their AI algorithms. A more demonic sickening idea is nearly impossible to imagine!
APPALLED AND HORRIFIED AT INSANE TYRANNICAL PROTOCOLS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH HEALTH AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH TOTALITARIAN CONTROL! REVERSE THIS NOW!
MAKE THE WORLD AND AMERICA 2019 (comparatively speaking), AND FREE AGAIN!
NO, I AM NOT AFRAID OF THE MORONIC SCARIANT SHMARIANT MONKEYSHINES! WAKE UP ALREADY!
TOTALLY CONDEMN BIDEN AND ALL OTHER POLS WHO HAVE NO POWER TO LAWLESSLY ACT LIKE AN EMPEROR OR DICTATOR AND DECREE JAB CROW 'SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS' FASCIST SEGREGATION/DISCRIMINATION/APARTHEID VIOLATIONS OF THE CONSTITUTION, THE NUREMBERG CODES AND EVERY CIVIL RIGHT IMAGINABLE.
NO GREEN NEW DEALS OR BUILD BACK BETTER FROM THE CRIMINAL TECHNOCRAT TYRANTS KLAUS SCHWAB AND HIS CRONIES FROM THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM.
STOP THE TERRIBLE TYRANNY OF THE TECHNOCRATS GLOBAL AGENDA OF TOTAL SURVEILLANCE AND CONTROL USING THE VIRUS AS EXCUSE AND PROPAGANDA TOOL!
NO MUZZLING STIFLING MASK MANDATES! NO FORCED VACCINES! END TORTUROUS DEVASTATING LOCK DOWNS NOW! I WANT MY LIFE BACK.
Your chatgpt3 introspection dialogue is fake in he sense that even if you got gpt3 to say those things, they are not true at all. The AI gadget has no introspection. The techniques it lists are just things it read about in literature, not what it is doing.
I also think the calls to stop development are coming from those who have already done development and want to lock everyone else out of the race. A lot of the discussion about freezing development through government mandate is driven by money not self-preservation.
We also don't know how close we are to a super intelligent AI. I do know that ChatGPT isn't it because we know very well what it is capable and incapable of even if we can't say specifically why it responded with XXX.
ChatGPT got our attention because the ability to mimic natural language fools a lot of people into thinking it's intelligent. I will paraphrase Wolfram here: Apparently, natural language isn't as computationally complex as we originally thought.
Right now, it's a great tool, and I believe the discussions about freezing development delve into the same realm as having government censor what we can say or hear.
We have no way of reading human minds with any degree of certainty, and yet we trust humans we shouldn't be trusting with a lot of power. They lie. They pursue their own goals, without regard for humanity. Their psychopathic greed is not aligned with general human values. This has certainly created an existential crisis. Maybe the solution to the anticipated problem of Superintelligent AI is to henceforth stop entrusting any computer or person with power over us. Because you know what they say about power. I think we need to Pause All Giant Bureaucracy Experiments. Governments were supposed to be the tool of the people. And we have somehow allowed governments to control the people instead. If we never forget that AI is a tool, that will help us use it wisely. As long as we don't imagine that it is a Superintelligence with legislative power over us, we should be okay. The story of GAI is the updated story of Golem.
Excellent piece. Likely will be underappreciated, but lots of important content here. Thanks.

Something tells me that Dr Lyons-Weiler should rename his blog _Popular Optimistic Rationalism_.

This is a super important point. It is designed to mimic text that we expect to see based on all the text it has read.
I think this discussion is still academic.
