If he's really into chaff generation it might be be him. Or a fictional version of him, because your examples don't have to be real if you're posting online under an alias.
Furthermore, there's no such thing as a solopreneurs. Everything you have now, everything you will ever build or do or touch is done with the combined labor of millions of humans. Thinking that somehow you are going it solo denies reality.
You may be interested in a recent AI safety paper by Redwood Research.
In it, they have GPT-4 generate solutions to coding problems, but instruct it to insert backdoors into the solutions some fraction of the time. Then, they explore different ways to use a weaker model (GPT-3.5) to detect these backdoors. Pretty interesting.
Slight correction: Portuguese Man-o-wars are actually considered multicellular organisms.
They’re weird organisms composed of multiple distinct animals that cannot survive independently and that originate from the same fertilized egg. But they are unambiguously multicellular.
Rectangle has worked well for me in the past, but recently, it's been losing a lot of windows. I often have to restart Brave to get Rectangle to be able to control it again.
Open source models are already being used for all kinds of nefarious purposes. Any safety controls on a model are easily stripped off once its weights are public.
Usually I love open source software. Most of my career has been spent writing open source code. But this is powerful and dangerous technology. I don’t believe that nuclear weapons should be open source and available to all either.
You have a technically valid viewpoint, its just utterly impractical if you carry it to its logical conclusion.
If something that can be used for good can also be used for nefarious purposes, you claim that some entity should exert a modicum of control over that thing to prevent it from being used for nefarious purposes.
Now think about all the things in peoples day to day life that can be used for good, but also can be used for nefarious purposes, and see if you would be ok with your argument being applied for those.
Personally, as someone sceptical of the likes of Google, Facebook and Microsoft (and the ethics demonstrated by multinational companies generally) I find the idea of all AI being controlled by a small cadre of Californian billionaires an extremely big ethical risk.
I can't help but think of the similarities between Frankenstein's Monster and AI. Both are human-created intelligences that learn to understand us by observing our behavior and writings.
I think the story is moreso the moral implications of being withheld from love or community. Hence the second act focussing on the doctor, starting with him being accused of murder, and shunned by society. It's also effectively the entire plan of the monster. The technological development aspect of the story as far as I'm concerned is set dressing for everything else.
Execute Program is one of the best tools for learning a programming language out there. I’ve worked through several of your courses on TypeScript and the Modern JavaScript, SQL, and Regex courses as well. Can’t wait for this one.
