Eliezer Yudkowsky Disputes Misinterpretation of His AI Theory
By
–
I straightforwardly deny that my theory says that GPT gets worse at generalization with more parameters; she doesn't understand where or when my story about an AI deciding to kill us has the murder enter into it. Given that I'm unimpressed by her claim above, what should I think

Still at the beginning of an exponential curve

GPT Evolution: Beyond Stochastic Parrots with Scaling
By
–
GPT-3, GPT-3.5, GPT-4. How blind would you have to be, to look at whatever has increased with the version number, and see only a "stochastic parrot" with a bigger memory?

Modified Physics Problem Transformed into a Gotcha Question
By
–
The problem is a modified version of the first problem in Thinking Physics, transformed by me into a gotcha by changing "total miles" to "total hours". I should be quite surprised if that exact problem and its answer was in GPT-4's training set to be memorized.

AI Systems Imagined Without Internal Mechanisms or Properties
By
–
This post is an utter case in point. The supposed AI is imagined to have absolutely no internal properties or machinery, just a blank causeless property of faithfully predicting what the programmers hoped it would predict.

Predicting Advanced AI Impact: Learning from Recent Progress
By
–
One challenge with predicting the impact of a future technology is anticipating how the world will change in the interim. Describing Uber before the Internet, smartphones, and GPS seems quite hard—and yet for advanced AI we must. Fortunately, lots to learn from recent progress.
