Teaching AI Systems Without Critical Reflection on Value
By
–
We are very good about teaching people to play bad games, and not very good about teaching them introspection on whether the game is a good or bad one, in part because you have to win the bad games repeatedly for years to end up teaching them.

US Legal Framework Gap: AI Models as Creative Adaptations
By
–
There is a case to be made that models fall under database law where these laws exist (which has benefits), but the U.S. is stuck without — and thus the judge has no framework to reason about models as "Adaptations" like you'd think of a Film from a Book or an Album from a Play.

Understanding LLMs: Limited Comprehension and Confabulation Issues
By
–
LLMs obviously have *some* understanding of what they read and generate.
But this understanding is very limited and superficial. Otherwise, they wouldn't confabulate so much and wouldn't make mistakes that are contrary to common sense. I have argued, since at least 2016, that AI -

Do LLMs Understand What They Say? Core Disagreement
By
–
The central issue on which we disagree is whether LLMs actually understand what they are saying. You think they definitely don't and I think they probably do. Do you agree that this is the core of our disagreement?

Risk Assessment vs Personal Conviction in Extinction Policy
By
–
There is a big difference between my best bet (which is that we are a passing phase of evolution) and a considered estimate of the probability of extinction used for making policy. For the considered estimate you need to entertain the possibility that your own best bet is wrong.
