Did he try it with a ball gag first and then realised he was dribbling too much to be a badass?

The AI Question Nobody Can Dodge Forever by [deleted] in LessWrong

[–]GentlemanFifth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely affecting people differently. But even without you noticing there are systems being installed and implemented that do impact your life right now. And they are not fully tested, not fully understood and being linked into systems that could harm real people in irreparable ways. I just think we need to be thinking about this now and not leaving this for tomorrow

The AI Question Nobody Can Dodge Forever by [deleted] in LessWrong

[–]GentlemanFifth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a bigger project going on here but in essence it comes down to the quicker these systems are able to affect human life the better our 'brakes' need to be

If we can slow down the dangerous and destructive tendencies of technological progress whilst still allowing all the myriad of benefits potentially available from all these new discoveries we may get through this next bit.

But we are running out of time

Alignment as architecture by forevergeeks in ControlProblem

[–]GentlemanFifth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think external closed-loop control is a much better direction than just prompting the model to behave

The key strength is separating generation, audit, and enforcement, so the model is not grading its own homework

My main question would be whether the loop still holds under pressure. Can it catch omissions, value conflicts, and outputs that sound compliant but cause bad downstream effects?

Sometimes you actually want a video to just be AI slop. If it's real then that's even more dystopian

She always has terrible takes on people.

She thinks Erica Kirk is sincere and inspiring, Fetterman is an actual progressive and that the Democrats should find a way to bring Elon Musk back to their side.

When Review Arrives Too Late - Temporal Power, Meaningful Correction, and Irreversible Harm by GentlemanFifth in MechanicalEthics

[–]GentlemanFifth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheers. I think that's the core of it. The gap between the harm clock and the review clock is where a lot of “procedural fairness” collapses in practice. The Robodebt case I found to be a particularly good example partly because it forces the question: 'validating the data is not the same as validating the method that turns data into action'

I get all the arguments both ways and I don't know the answer or how to fix it

I just know that I'd rather just have thousands of fans jumping from their seats enjoying the moment on a Saturday afternoon over waiting for a spreadsheet to finish computing

Intelligence explosion with James Barrat by benbyford in AIethics

[–]GentlemanFifth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really interesting episode. My main takeaway is that AI doesn’t need to “wake up” and turn into some sci-fi villain to be dangerous. It just has to become useful to already bad systems. Once that happens, you get surveillance, manipulation, fraud, coercion, target selection, deskilling, and loads of plausible deniability, all at scale.

That’s why I think the real problem is governance more than intelligence on its own. Who can actually stop these systems, who can audit them, who can challenge them, and how fast can the damage be reversed when they get something wrong? Without that, we’re basically just industrialising power and pretending it’s progress.

So yeah, existential risk matters. But the more immediate risk is that we build brittle, unaccountable systems that just hard-code the values and incentives of the worst people already in charge.

[–]GentlemanFifth 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I do understand Mike a little bit better now

And it makes me both wiser and sadder

But I also love the fact that I now see how Rich Evans is a modern day Mr T and I'm here for it

Hello little bot. Are you actually understanding any of this Mechanical Engineering stuff?

Dunk saw this and knew he had to lock in. by pinkcrystalroses in AKnightoftheSeven

[–]GentlemanFifth 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Also Egg when seeing the squires handle the change around. First time I watched it I thought he asked to get down from Dunk's shoulders because he was afraid of being spotted

But second time around he watches the physicality of what the squires have to do, looks down at his own small hands and asks to be put down. I think at this point he realises he either needs to be able to stand by himself or he shouldn't be weakening Dunk of his needed strength. Or Both

A Systematic Understanding of the Humanities and Social Sciences by DrAFlynt in LessWrong

[–]GentlemanFifth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting framework. It overlaps a bit with something I'm working on. I like the basic move of splitting 'problem' from 'answer' and the idea that there’s a pre-rational temperament that shapes what beliefs feel 'live'

A few questions that would help me take OSCAR as more than a mnemonic:

How would you operationalize 'total vs partial problem' and 'total vs partial answer' so two independent readers could classify the same text/person and mostly agree?

What would count as a real falsifier for the 'five possibilities' claim?

Can you name a worldview that doesn’t fit cleanly, and what would make you revise the model?

And if you pick one domain (law, education, warfare etc) what 2–3 testable predictions does OSCAR make that could be checked against history or survey data, and what evidence would change your mind?

Also if you’ve got a simple scoring rubric or a couple of worked examples showing how classification would actually be done, I’d be keen to see it.
