The social scene around AI and AI safety is more unpleasant than I realized. I'm sure there are other sides to it. But when you get a lot of men with too much money who think they're saving the world, surrounded by groupies, what do you expect? Read the long Bluesky thread about this, collected on one page: https://skywriter.blue/@segyges.bsky.social/3mvom4b4dn22q I can't confirm this stuff - I stay far away from this scene. And the sentence "AI Safety is Mostly a Sex Cult" is a massive exaggeration. But... (1/n) AI alignment Related

> One could even define intelligence as the efficiency with which one converts experience into competence; by this definition they lag very far behind us Yes, one could define intelligence in this way, and one would be right. By this metric current AI is approximately 6 OOMs less intelligent than humans. Your ancestors' evolutionary history did not prepare you for Python programming, yet you can learn to competently program in Python in a few hundreds of hours. An LRM needs the training data equivalent of ~1B hours (on top of all of its non-programming related training data).

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
