Will AI Seduce Humans Away From Their Own Instincts?
By
–
It's a beautiful thought, beautifully expressed. And one corresponding question is whether the human, in the process, will be seduced away from their own instincts into serving the relentless feedback loop of the computer, despite humans' better nature. It's an open question.

AI Feedback Loops: Mutual Manipulation Between Human and Machine
By
–
Remember that AI becomes a feedback loop. The human can become just as much a thing to be manipulated by the machine, even when the human is nominally in the role of deciding the creative direction. The dialectic effects both parties, human and machine.

Simulating Reality: LLMs and the Simulation Hypothesis Question
By
–
The reason that emulating virtual machines, chatrooms, and APIs inside large language models is exciting, isn’t just because “haha cool nerd stuff”. It means we are that much closer to simulating all of our world in it. And if we can do it… how would we know we aren’t in one?

LLMs are a plot to get humans off track from solving AI.

Biological Plausibility of Models: From LSTMs to Transformers
By
–
When people bring up how the human brain works just like a Transformer, I remember those simpler times when people argued for the biological plausibility of LSTM (back when a stack of LSTM layers trained with deep RL seemed like the golden path to AGI). https://arxiv.org/abs/1604.06635
