"As AI analyst Eliezer Yudkowsky, cofounder of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute, has observed," You gotta be FUCKING KIDDING ME. "AI analyist" you can be called as a white dude if you write a harry potter fanfic and have a doomsday cult. My god.

Expertise Requirements: When Should Cosmologists Comment on AI?
By
–
"In 2012, no less an authority than cosmologist Stephen Hawking weighed in…." Why does being a cosmologist make you an authority on AI? Maybe I should write an article about cosmology next?

"he near-term possibility of artificial general intelligence (AGI)—the ability of an intelligent agent to understand or learn any intellectual task that a human being can—has led many eminent scientists to worry" Oh lord he's one of THOSE smh.

Author Avoids Eugenics Discussion Regarding Julian Huxley
By

I find it very strange the author figured out how to not say the word "eugenics" even while talking about Julian Huxley.

Open Source AI: Legal Questions and Compliance Challenges
By
–
Well, I *am* a lawyer, but not a very good one. I don't have good answers right now. Just lots of questions. I'm confident that if we grapple with the questions, we'll sort it out (just as we did when applying open source to software distributed as services over a network)

Can AI Model Weights Be Licensed if Unmodifiable?
By
–
Talking with a friend, he noted that you can't modify the weights directly. You can't go in and change a floating point number and mess with it. You have to recompile those from somewhere else. Does a license on the weights (assuming he's right) make sense if true?

What Does Open Source Really Mean for LLM Weights?
By
–
But more importantly (for me), I'm grappling with what "open source" means in LLMs/AI. The source code isn't like what we'd find in, say, Datasette. It seems ppl think the license applies to the weights in an LLM, but they're just floating point numbers.

AI Model Licensing: Architecture, Weights, and Delta Distribution
By
–
Should the license be on the architecture? But, the same architecture with different weights can give you a completely different AI. Should the license be on the weights + architecture? Sometimes we ship deltas. Does the license apply to that?

Redefining Open Source for Large Language Models
By
–
We casually apply the Open Source Definition as if it's dispositive here but, and I may be missing something here, it feels like LLMs are very different and the term "open source", or rather the definition, needs to be carefully recast for AI.

Skepticism About Superhuman AGI Alignment Feasibility
By
–
Where the hell are you getting the idea that anyone anywhere will be able to align a superhuman AGI and use it for things? What the heck is wrong with people's brains that they skip over this step in their story? Does your brain decide that this step is boring so it's okay to
