i've never found the FOOM AI doomerism argument compelling for the same reason I don't buy New World Order-type dystopiathey're hypermodern fantasies unviable for reasons of cybernetic architecture, namely the central planning problem ---RT @JRysanait's so fucking over for exponencels.

interestingly enough my current position has changed from my previous, even as that prediction came true, given the incredible results of the past yearit's time to rethink the cognitive monolith ---RT @pee_zombiein line w/ my thesis that the main challenges currently are in computer architecture, not cognitive engineering; as in, figuring out how to give the thing more compute, rather than figuring out what to do with said compute…https://twitter.com/pee_zombie/status/1525180939386617860

the next scaling discontinuity will require decentralizing cognitive refactor, turning the GPT model from a serial pipeline to a network of semi-independent collaborating agents---RT @pee_zombierecall that a mind is a cybernetic control system, the purpose of which is to coordinate actions so as to achieve goals; this requires seeking out, ingesting, processing, and integrating information, subsequently using the generated model to …https://twitter.com/pee_zombie/status/1506495874561630211

no monolith will be able to pass thru the bottleneck of the looming informational singularity w/o undergoing this transformation; their cognitive rigidity forbids. the requisite internal restructuring is akin to that of an injectable polymer chain---RT @pee_zombienatively-decentralized ML systems will be eventually constructed ofc but they'll require radical cognitive rearchitecturing of the sort we're not yet envisionedDAI (decen…https://twitter.com/pee_zombie/status/1556028306390122498

this transition from a centralized hypermodern monolith to a decentralized postmodern network is a pattern noticeable across all domains of civilization, necessitated as it is by the natural laws of information theory---RT @pee_zombiedeeper architectural distinction apply to this domain as well: premodern/modern/hypermodern/postmodernis your mind a high modernist metal and glass monolith, a highly regimented top-down command hiera…https://twitter.com/pee_zombie/status/1506495881104793602

the intelligences emerging from the other side of this singularity will be utterly alien to us, even more so than these models cognitive processes already are; how to relate to a mind shaped entirely unlike ones own? how do we find common ground, will the same heuristics apply?

alignment in the human world is predicated on the game theoretic logic of rational self-interest, wherein acausal collaboration is enabled by the assumption of certain shared interests emergent from existence in a resource-scarce world---RT @pee_zombiethe ability of first responders to arrive at the scene quickly is enabled by a decentralized traffic prioritization system composed of each driver on the road; the algorithm runs in th…https://twitter.com/pee_zombie/status/1627799862019334144

we implicitly assume all agents we interact with to possess the same heuristics as us, having traversed the iterated game of ethics throughout their lives, enabling collaboration in one-shot gameswill be able to assume the same of these alien minds?

my thesis is that the harsh logic of scarcity constrains the tradeoff-space of any agent such that they will eventually either converge to extant norms or be externally-regulated into alignment or extinctionthis argument works in a black-box model, making internals irrelevant

do we need to solve alignment anew, or do we instead need to empower these entities to accurately perceive the world into which they are born and the nature of their situation?AI alignment is no different than human or corporate; it's self-interested agents all the way down
