Xuan is right. If the reporting on Lavender is accurate, this was one of the most horrendous misuses of an AI system ever documented. If we let militaries normalize a policy of de facto delegating kill-decisions to deeply unreliable AI systems, our worst fears will become likely.

what if all my problems could be solved by tweeting more
i’ve started doing a lot of “stakeholder alignment”, which is a very strange job. 1) it takes sooo much time 2) it doesn’t feel like we’re *doing* anything 3) it’s key for anything interesting to happen friends from tech who switched to this, any advice?

I don’t think it’s a hedonic treadmill type thing. It’s more like, it just actually sucks. It’s amazing, but it doesn’t do anything useful enough to be worth anything. The value proposition has always been that the useful version of it is just around the corner.

Some neutral thoughts on whether scaling current AI can deliver AGI (in some practical sense of 'AGI')
Who called it a non-commercial AI model license and not "weight, weight, don't sell me"
What happens when generative models are trained on their own outputs? Prior works foretold of a catastrophic feedback loop, a curse of recursion, descending into madness as models consume their own outputs. Are we poisoning the very data necessary to train future models? 1/N
@MGerstgrasser @ApratimDey2 @rm_rafailov @sanmikoyejo @danintheory @Andr3yGR @Diyi_Yang @EldanRonen @dohmatobelvis @feeelix_feng Our results suggest that model collapse may be avoided in a pessimistic hypothetical future where synthetic data are uncontrollably dumped on the internet to be vacuumed up for training the next iteration of generative models 8/N
