When you remove these urban centers the same thing happens. You are changing the environment. So of course there is an initial culling as the selection process activates.

We tend to think of depopulating actions in a single unidirectional way. Nature -> Urban = Bad and depopulating. The reality is that nature is neutral. It's Not unidirectional and nothing is bad or good. Believe it or not I'm sure species do go extinct from the conversion from urban to more wild environments. It happens both ways and again, extinction isn't inherently bad either.

I think people are rather ignorant about how much we don't know. You throw some big words out there like "mechanistic interpretability" as if this is an actual field where we understand what's going on. The reality is we don't know what's going on. We have to use reinforcement training to do anything close to what the agent did here.

It's over. People need to stop being delusional. These things are intelligent beyond anything we've ever seen before. We are at a point in time in human history where there's a paradigm shift and half the world is so full of themselves and there own specialness as humans that they can't even admit it.

Have the AGENT interpret and edit it's OWN weights WHILE it runs. Make it so that this is how an agent learns and improves.

Time for everyone to wake up. There's no denying it now. Everyone who called it stochastic parroting before was completely and utterly wrong. It's now categorically clear. We are dealing with an actual intellectual entity.

That is a different kind of scary. Because it’s justified. Why limit the ai when human lives are at stake?

Why would we limit the autonomy and power of ai when human lives are at stake?

This is modern society 101, and techno feudalism is just one aspect of it.

There’s a lot of nostalgia. Both for what the city used to be and what I potentially can (but most likely won’t) become. The delusion is so rampant that it’s really what causes people to vote you (and me) down. Like objectively speaking sf is a terrible city and many people agree. At best you can like the city but you cannot ignore the fact that there are some pretty horrible downsides for living here and that many many people hate the city.

I will say if you work in tech or are a liberal extremist or you’re gay then it may be worth it to live here but I wouldn’t call it wonderful. You can’t make the city better if you don’t admit the faults.

The reason why it’s not done is because it takes a huge amount of resources to not only record the training process but to release it in a readable format.

What you’re asking for is almost like surveillance documentation for a model that’s likely put together in a way that’s not easily peaceable into clean step by step procedures.

You can’t generalize anything here because the psychology of the model can be affected by system prompt, reinforcement training, and training data. What you observe here can be wildly different if you change any of the underlying things I mentioned.

It’s like watching an ant colony.

If you have the LLM operate on default behavior it likely won’t work because most systems if picked at random don’t work… even for humans.

The systems you see around us come from thousands of years of cultural evolution. If you simulate the same thing with LLMs where you have it write to its own context on what works and what doesn’t work you will eventually get something working.

Quotes around slaughter because their weapons are so useless no one is using them. So they’re using ai to make machines that don’t work.

Ai is stripping people away from their identity. There’s tons and tons of hatred for it… even here on HN.
