I feel with this line if you didn’t save a child while recording it (demonstrable proof) then they will think you’re lying about it.
Losing my job because I didn’t record me saving lives! Not clickbait! 9 PM!
We are the ones who balance the moral costs of everything the Foundation does. And in order to balance those costs, we must know those costs. Do you realize what that means, Doctor? It means that we know everything the Foundation does, has done, and will ever do . Everything that has ever been redacted or expunged, we know it. Every last detail. Every time you been late to work has been noted, and we can’t agree with you saving that child.
matpat is in a room. you have a gun loaded with one bullet and youre in front of him. what do you do
cannot shoot yourself
would you save a drowning child if it meant you had to get your clothes wet
I am sorry for what I am about to do with the ceiling
And then, word will filter down from the O5s, through the many levels of our bureaucracy. And those who were late to work anns unethical will be given reprimands which will be noted on their permanent record. Or their pay will be cut, or they will be demoted, or they will be transferred to another project.
Or they will be shot for crimes against humanity
shockingly, building a mind from scratch is hard. you can’t just say “well we put all the data in a big bowl and swirled it around a bit and presumably if we find the right way to swirl it it’ll naturally produce an artificial reddit user”, it’s something that’ll take, you know, hundreds of fucking years
I see no need to fight over anything
The fact that weapons development is necessary sucks absolute balls but it is an unfortunate reality of the world we live in that far too often might makes right
And the best we can do given the scale of humanity as a whole is hope that we never have to actually use offensive weapons while making sure our defenses are solid (and, mind you, most modern defense is basically offense - the most reliable way to intercept a missile is with another missile built for the purpose)
tl;dr war sucks and having worked at a defense contractor through the start of the war in Ukraine believe me when I say that nobody believes in that more than the people working to build the munitions they are fought with - after all, who else knows better what these things can do?

why are you shooting the ceiling
perhaps fifteen thousand
Gosh, I wish we could find the methodology behind swirling the artificial reddit user
Testing a game theory
the fact that you felt bad about contributing to people’s murders doesn’t absolve you of the fucking guilt
fucking scum.
you’re conflating a number of different claims and treating them as broadly equivalent when they aren’t
“no one at OpenAI/other AI companies has tried to understand their AIs” - blatantly false
“the only way they’ve tried to understand their AIs is by having the AI explain the AI” - also blatantly false
“no one at OpenAI has made more than minimal progress at actually understanding their AIs” - clearly true imo, I don’t think most people at OpenAI/etc. would even dispute this
“OpenAI is trying less harder than they Ought To to understand their AIs” - probably true, but doesn’t prove or disprove any of your other claims
“an LLM could never tell you that the entire basis for the field is inherently flawed” - technically false in the sense that I could surely get ChatGPT to write an argument for it, if I’m not being pedantic then it’s just not very relevant? like if you’re trying to understand the inner workings of the AI, you can try to do that whether or not the entire basis of the field is inherently flawed
“LLMs are not very useful for ?useful real world things?” - entirely different claim with little relationship to the previous ones
“OpenAI is bad” - entirely different claim with little relationship to the previous ones
I feel exactly zero guilt over working at a company providing munitions to Ukraine and if you think I should that’s a lol from me dawg
