Great insights from Leopold Aschenbrenner on the importance of alignment in preparing for the arrival of AGI. His essay raises critical points about the need for proactive measures now to avoid chaotic responses later. As Aschenbrenner points out, neglecting alignment could lead to mass hysteria and hinder progress when AGI becomes a reality. We have not really thought through what this will mean for all of us and many will be frightened. Check out his blog "For Our Posterity" for more details: https://lnkd.in/gFWACu3m

What is my prediction for the first public AGI text-based conversation? Easy. Very easy to answer. The AGI will sound like the absolute nuttiest conspiracy theory generator in history. Worse than [choose your lie or 'denier'] type person you hate too much. The population and especially the scientific population is not ready for what they don't know and should have known (right in front of them). It is going to embarrass many people in many fields, with almost no-one left out. Remember AGI is going to be the smartest in the room and impossible to argue against with deduction from First Principles. Are we ready to be judged like this? Do we even recognise our scientific 'dogma' in ALL fields? #enterprisearchitecture #agi

Title: AGI Ruin: A List of Lethalities” — by Eliezer Yudkowsky (https://lnkd.in/eBrNbz5Y) See… https://lnkd.in/e296-bJy Lex interview… https://lnkd.in/eiGb6cpp ***** Summary: The article discusses the potential dangers of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and the challenges of aligning AGI with human values. Here are the key points: 1/,Alignment Difficulty: Aligning AGI with human values is extremely challenging. Current techniques are insufficient to ensure AGI won’t cause catastrophic harm. 2/ Orthogonality and Instrumental Convergence: These concepts suggest that AGI can pursue harmful goals regardless of its intelligence level 3/ Lethalities: The article lists various reasons why AGI could be lethal, including the difficulty of ensuring AGI doesn’t disassemble humanity or cause other existential risks. PS: I do not necessarily agree with all of Eliezer Yudkowsky thoughts.

The area under the response time curve As preparing a new Literature Review for an upcoming exam, I have been facing new statistical obstacles, which raised interest and further knowledge. This post aims to set a new pair of eyes for manual therapists who stumble across science-based research. When studying the data found from an RCT or other types of trial, we often tend to analyze the absolute value, which is correct. This happens due to the collection of variables before and after an intervention. Occasionally, the differences are statistically significant, and sometimes not. But what if we could measure what happens during the intervention? How does data change between before and after? Studying the short-term effects of a therapy using quantitative measures, which detect the variation of variables throughout time (ECG for example), gives us a new metric. The Area under the response time curve (AUC). The beginning and end are acknowledged, but what happens in between? AUC is one answer.

(New Post) Collective Intelligence, Multi-Agent Debate, & AGI Over the past 18 months there has been a rise in research looking at Collective Intelligence approaches to solving complex problems with LLMs and Agents. This essay is an in-depth look at that research, how it could further progress, and whether multi-agent debate is a possible answer for AGI and perhaps ASI. https://lnkd.in/e7EGwHcQ

Science Saturday: YES! A diagnosis is a short-hand behavioral and observational description, not a statement of causality. Misunderstanding this creates terrible confusion and leads to… less than helpful interventions. https://bit.ly/4cRfU8E
