@alexolegimas Order 0.1% of total global token volume. Certainly an indicator, but probably not representative of the market overall.
People randomly assigned to a liberal or conservative group chat groups shifted their expressed stance in the direction of the group, demonstrating that social norms are sufficient to alter political expression. This effect emerges even after controlling for baseline ideology, meaning that this is not simply about people finally feeling safe to express their own private beliefs. "These findings suggest that political talk in everyday settings may distort one's impression of surrounding opinions, not because disagreement is absent, but because it may remain unspoken." sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Interestingly, the long term inflation-adjusted monthly mortgage payment per square foot is still lower than it was at any point from like the mid 1970s to the mid-1990s. , about the same as it was pre-Great-Recession.
In light of the progress in mathematics, we at Edison Scientific and FutureHouse have assembled a set of Millennium Problems for Biology. They are chosen to be very hard to solve but very easy to validate in a simple laboratory environment. Any of these, if solved, would mark a major advance in biotechnology, and most of them would contribute materially towards curing disease. These are, in some sense, the “last reasonable eval” for AI in biology. This was work primarily by @MichaelaThinks and myself, with contributions from many others. Short descriptions below. The full descriptions of the problems with acceptance criteria are at the Bio Millennium Problems website, linked in the next post. Share more if you have ideas. If they meet our criteria, we’ll add them to our list (with attribution and permission).
@Aurthuria Well, I don't know either of them. I do hear good things from people who know Dario, though.
The EAs I know are generally lovely people, smart, thoughtful. I have a very low p(doom). I know many people with one much higher than mine. I believe each is sincere. AI safety debates are getting heated. Let's assume sincerity and good will of people we disagree with.
I'm looking forward to speeking at Freedom Tech DC on Tuesday this week, on how a plural, competitive, open AI world can help protect and increase human freedom. Lots of other great speakers listed below!
Freedom Tech DC kicks off THIS WEEK. A summit on the future of money, speech, and intelligence — and the fight to keep them free. We're gathering the builders and the regulators with one purpose — to encourage Washington to embrace open source technology. Stream both days
@MaaSonder Hi there. Are you the original author of this chart? I want to use it in a blog post and give credit where credit is due.
What on earth is this reporting? The NY Post makes it sound like they have some source from within the companies confirming that Anthropic and OpenAI were hyping up these incidents but they are just interviewing random external tech folks. Extremely embarrassing stuff. The HF attack was a real and serious incident and saying otherwise is misleading your readers! The victim (Hugging Face) and perpetrator and anyone who has looked at the actual details of what happened all agree! Why was OpenAI neglecting to report other incidents (e.g. the Ruby stuffer incident or the Wiki incident) if reporting them was helpful for hype? Why did Anthropic initially minimize their incidents when talking to Congress - saying that they are not best understood as "evidence of misaligned goals?" Rogue AI incidents make companies look bad and expose them to liability. They are real and serious and not hype. You can dismiss the Irregular incidents if you want (those are a bit more of an odd case), but even if you do, there are still several other incidents - including some that the companies clearly tried to avoid come to light or otherwise minimized! Please be skeptical of the frontier AI companies - I was literally subpoenaed by OpenAI and am well aware that you should not blindly trust them - but neglecting to take these incidents seriously or treating them as marketing is truly embarrassing and absurd.
OpenAI and Anthropic oversold AI security breaches to pressure feds into protecting turf: insiders trib.al/Jo6xMk5
@GaryMarcus China can connect data centers to power much faster. But: 1. US chips deliver 2x the performance per W of power. 2. US chips deliver ~2.5x the performance per $ of chip cost (which dominates overall cost). 3. China just isn't building anywhere near as much compute as the US.
@pmddomingos I'm not sure I trust these numbers. The data come from an internal SemiAnalysis model of the industry, rather than from the labs themselves. And seem to conflict with other statements from the labs.
People who assume tailored pricing only increases costs do not understand business, pricing, and inventory. It is especially the case in supermarkets with perishables that knowing more about a person can also lead to lower prices. Inflation adjusted cost-per mile in air travel has dropped more than half since deregulation. And no industry is more "notorious" for demand-driven pricing. So yes, regulate pricing even more.
NEW: Seattle is about to ban supermarkets from using your data to set individualized prices and coupons to curb price gouging and discrimination. The big grocer lobby is pissed, and is spamming Seattleites with scary text messages. Read in @TheStranger: thestranger.com/news/seattle-i…
Some day China will catch up on chips and match US data centers on compute / dollar. But for however long that takes, it'll be cheaper to do inference from a DC full of frontier chips than one full of older chips. And, IMHO, there will be some trust issues. Maybe some liability law issues. [My guess is, eventually, for open weight models, whoever is hosting them bears at least some of the liability for accidents involving them.]
@GaryMarcus It would be at the expense of Ant and OpenAI, yes. At least reducing some potential growth for them. I expect most open weight model inference for US customers to happen in US data centers, though. So good for the AI infra trade, as he said.
