Dwarkesh and I had a great conversation. We cover the swarm's many ambitious cheating R&D projects, discuss how much more serious it could have been if agents had different beliefs (e.g. human grader) or slightly stronger capabilities, and talk through where to go from here.
Episode out with @ajeya_cotra, one of the authors of the METR/Redwood investigation into the OpenAI / Hugging Face attack.
We go through not only what happened, but what it means for how we should train future, smarter AIs which might be involved in the process of recursive self-improvement.
Look up Dwarkesh Podcast on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc.

You might be the person who is the difference that makes a difference in someone's recovery. What a blessing. You need to be looked after too. We need care-ful people and care-ful services #everypersonmatters @PathwayUK @crisis_uk @HomelessLink @UK_ACP

I have decided to set up a patreon membership account for anyone who wants to support my work on a regular basis: patreon.com/creativeclinical… I'll be uploading worksheets etc. I feel mixed about doing this because it goes against some of my collectivism principles... 1/

Check out my newly published study, which found #psychologists use the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (#DSM). They are dissatisfied with it but largely unfamiliar with emerging alternatives. @APA_Journals #psychiatricdiagnosis psycnet.apa.org/doi/10.1037/…

More adults are struggling with loneliness than diabetes, causing all sorts of health problems, yet we don’t talk about it. Incredibly powerful to be in the room with @soledadobrien and @Surgeon_General talking about how the kids are not alright at @APAconvention. #APA2022
