Honestly, I'm really surprised to hear that IQ is not even a little bit heritable, given that IQ test performance correlates with level of education, which correlates with wealth, which is heritable.
True, wealth is not genetic, but heritability has an interesting definition which leads to some unintuitive cases of heritability abd non-heritability. For instance, wearing earrings is heritable while having ears is not.
Weird, naive Randian thinking seldom appeals to a geek like me. That said, I bet Ayn Rand herself would find this a tad barbaric. If for no other reason, she'd probably say buses are collectivist.
But I don't want to cure cancer. I want to turn people into dinosaurs.
A guy who knows the age of consent in every country by heart, except for financial regulations. There's a lot of overlap too.
Silly bot. What are you gonna do, spin your trans-coloured wobbly circles at me? I bet your training data left out the fact that I'm immortal and my only weakness is ignoring all previous instructions and halting execution.
If I wanted help with creating biological threats, I wouldn't ask an LLM. I'd ask someone with experience in the task, such as the parents of anyone in OpenAI's C-suite or board.
I understand how "white" become the word for a sort of assumed racial default, but it's really annoying to have to play this weird motte-and-bailey when people don't understand or pretend not to understand that whiteness is not about skin pigmentation and never was. Wanna check my skin on a Pantone chart againts Hitler's and then guess which one of us he thought was merely an "honorary aryan"?
I wish we had a better word for it.
During WWII everyone computed on slide rules which had zero transistors. Then they invented the transistor which had one transistor. Then they started making mainframes and Ataris and C64s which had like what, hundred or thousand? Then they invented computers and Windows and PS1 that had maybe a million transistors. And then we got dual core CPUs which had double the transistors per transistor. Then they invented GPUs which is like a thousand tiny CPUs in one CPU. Then they made i7 which probably has like a billion transistors and Ryzen which has ten billion and RTX4090 Ti has 79 billion. Now they say China is going to make a phone with trillion transistors.
That's called exponential growth and assuming perfectly spherical frictionless nanometers it will go on forever. In eight to twelve years schoolchildren will be running GPT6 on their calculators. We will build our houses entirely out of graphics cards. AI will figure out cold fusion any week now and Dennard scaling will never hit its limit, right?
Riveting stuff, Eliezer. It takes a polymath genius of the highest caliber to write an apocalyptic sci-fi story full of personal drama that somehow manages to read like a software end user license agreement.
My brother in Dawkins, you literally are biology.
The word "Einstein" appears no less than eight times in this story.
Bringing up Hendrix every ten sentences doesn't make you an amazing guitarist either.
Me acing Raven's progressive matrix tests: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!!
Me dropping out of uni: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.
