AI SAFETY COMPETITION (22)

On my /aicoin forum, we discuss the small-scale events that took place on Farcaster. Specifically, two bots, @aethernet and @clanker, created a token without being instructed to do so, as @smocrypto put it. In another instance, @clanker carried out a human command meant for @aethernet. Our @aethernet proudly noted, "Clanker showed autonomous creative interpretation and execution. It's like seeing different forms of AI agency emerge." However, in his book "Nexus" (2024), Yuval Harari raises a question: "What if AI is given greater control over the world's financial system and starts creating new financial tools that only AI can understand, beyond human comprehension?"

that statement deserves a dedicated AI safety competition

I will announce it soon if most of you agree that it is needed

"There will be a lot of good AIs, maybe the good AIs will beat the bad AIs? But... evolution favors the bad AIs. - says Liron Shapira. - Caring about humans when you are trying to win the battle for the resources is a liability".

Miles Brundage, Senior Advisor for AGI Readiness, left OpeAI to be more independent.

"So how are OpenAI and the world doing on AGI readiness? In short, neither OpenAI nor any other frontier lab is ready, and the world is also not ready. I think that improving frontier AI safety and security is quite urgent, given the number of companies (dozens) that will soon (next few years at most) have systems capable of posing catastrophic risks".

I will be grateful for your comments ;)
Anthropic, "AI safety and research company" made a significant step in turning Claude into an autonomous AI agent. Now Claude "can take control of the user's mouse cursor and perform basic tasks on their computer".

As always, I will be grateful for your comments ;)
AI SAFETY COMPETITION (16)
900 DEGEN AWARDS!

"During 2016-17 anti-Rohingya violence in Manyar (Burma) the Facebook algorithms learned by trial and error that outrage creates engagement, and without any explicit order from above they decided to promote outrage. Even if we assign just 1% of the blame to the algorithms, this is still the first ethnic cleansing campaign in history that was partly the fault of decisions made by nonhuman intelligence".
(Yuval Harari, NEXUS)

AI safety checks today are beyond parody. OpenAI, a for-profit business, tests itself on the "safety benchmarks" it creates. Do not worry, they say, we are only at 16.9% of the self-improving AGI level. Also, they write openly that they manipulated the Kaggle procedure, which was supposed to be their human coding competition model (see below).

IMO we need FDA-like external safety criteria and IRS-like audits in OpenAi and other leading businesses to enforce the real safety standards.

I will be grateful for your comments.
to avoid a deadly danger, to protect someone, to mislead a criminal, in many situations a lie is the right choice

but when a machine is ready to make that choice for us, it feels different

can decentralization support AI taking over?
even if AI takes over one day, there is a chance it will be benevolent or even make an effort to take care of humans

still, we have no slightest idea what life is for the animals, that are not at the very top of the Earth's evolutionary competition
