🤖 Oh no, AI agents are getting pricier, but fear not—Toby Ord brilliantly distracts us with... a crash course in web form editing! 📝 Because who doesn't love a detour through the riveting world of contact forms while fretting over AI costs? 🙄

Are the Costs of AI Agents Also Rising Exponentially? — Toby Ord

There is an extremely important question about the near-future of AI that almost no-one is asking. We’ve all seen the graphs from METR showing that the length of tasks AI agents can perform has been growing exponentially over the last 7 years. While GPT-2 could only do software engineering tasks t

The Future of Humanity Institute has shutdown, seemingly without notice or warning.

😂 LOL

Home to Nick Bostrom, Toby Ord, and other Billionares favoured right wing, liberal Philosphers for hire. e.g. Musk was a huge fan.

I can't wait to hear why the Oxford Faculty of Philosophy shut them down.

It can't be funding - FHI received the faculties largest ever donation in 2018 of £13 million GBP, with promises of more.

De meteorenregen bestaat uit gruis dat werd achtergelaten door de komeet van Swift-Tuttle. Een tijdlang vreesde men dat de komeet in 2126 zou kunnen inslaan op de aarde, maar later bleek uit een herberekening dat het in elk geval de eerste tweeduizend jaar niet zal gebeuren..

I just came across this quote in The Precipice by #tobyord and I wish I had seen this back in 2020. It would have saved me a lot of anxiety.

Reading #thePrecipie by #tobyOrd

Finally got to the bit about #AI threat. Model relies on 'outbreak', from one machine to many.

But takeover of high power machines will presumably be noticed. Seems like outbreak presupposes excellent decentralized computation

And how about seeing our gorgeous planet from afar in a series of digitally restored and amazingly detailed images? Philosopher Toby Ord carefully edited and restored photos of Earth from […]
