OpenAI's roon argues the AI boom is a distraction from the industry's convergence toward recursive self-improvement

@tszzl @eventidia Yeah 😕

@GuiveAssadi @_sholtodouglas @eventidia explain

@tszzl @_sholtodouglas @eventidia That’s not what “instrumental convergence” means

@tszzl @GuiveAssadi @_sholtodouglas @eventidia treat Yourself do not cheat. Live fully!☺️

@tszzl @_sholtodouglas @eventidia it is severe, but not total

@tszzl @_sholtodouglas @eventidia distracted from the "everything" that is purported to being recursively improved??

@tszzl @_sholtodouglas @eventidia Yeah I read your post again and maybe it’s actually a correct use of the term. It’s supposed to refer to intermediate goals that are shared given a wide variety of terminal goals. I guess if you believe in RSI that could be instrumentally convergent.

@tszzl @_sholtodouglas @eventidia Many things can happen at once though

@tszzl @_sholtodouglas @eventidia what about rockets tho

@tszzl @_sholtodouglas @eventidia Only because you overestimate how fast we'll get there.

@tszzl @_sholtodouglas @eventidia the pleasant thing about the grim is that rsi is meant to help humans, or something

@tszzl @_sholtodouglas @eventidia How much of the compute from the huge datacenter you’ll use to run the very talented fully automated AI researcher in 2028 will be allocated to alignment research?

@i_x_Sam @tszzl @GuiveAssadi @_sholtodouglas @eventidia I see you’re not one to shy away from $36/lb brisket.
