"Is there a single person on Earth who, like me, believes these two things at the same time?
- AI risk is real, easy to imagine, and frankly terrifying
- Regulation proposed is a bad idea because it won’t work or, more likely, will increase said risks

what do you think about alignment research being dual use, being in general controllability research, allowing for both good and bad actors to execute their goals on autonomous AI agents?

"Here’s a chain of assertions;
- Climate change is happening
- humans are the cause
- It will destroy civilisation
- We should de-grow the economy and only consume what we need to avoid it
If you question any of this - you are labelled a denier.
How about this?
- climate change is happening
- humans are the cause
- it will gradually cause more issues over time
- we can fix it
- we will fix it
- de-growth can’t solve it and would instead kill millions and make life miserable." https://twitter.com/PositivFuturist/status/1764244153792188929

What is quantum field theory? Combination of classical field theory and quantum mechanics into one model! But physicists also use this label when it also combines special relativity in the standard model. But there I feel like there we should say instead that it uses "relativistic quantum field theory", or "special relativistic quantum field theory" to account for the fact that it uses a combination of classical field theory, quantum mechanics, and special relativity, but not general relativity.

I'm familiar with lots of this work but I dont see how is creativity related to it or to free will (whatever definition is used for it). Do you mean uncomputability of kologomov complexity? Or of exact bayesian inference? Both brains and neural nets approximate that in computable way. Or brains still work even because of halting problem. It seems to me that human brains (and other sources of other forms of cognition in organisms) are creative and they're a finite computational physical systems that can be theoretically replicated by engineering it, as one can see in Michael Levin's work for example.

"In our new work, we find that transformers develop in-context learning in discrete stages. Not only are these stages behaviorally and structurally unique, but they can be discovered in a model- and data-agnostic way by probing the geometry of the loss landscape, both in parameter space and in function space. Developmental interpretability is real."

One reason why mathematics enjoys special esteem, above all other sciences, is that its laws are absolutely certain and indisputable, while those of other sciences are to some extent debatable and in constant danger of being overthrown by newly discovered facts.
