Have you considered who’s currently in charge of federal safety standards?

“I don’t presume Anthropic is designing anything to be ethical.” Then why do they put any safeguards of any sort in? They put a lot of work into this, also this is openai. “First, the chatbot is unpredictable by design. Randomness is built in.” Randomness is built in but this behavior was not designed, it was unpredictable and random, which is, yes, unpredictable. The goal isn’t to make it unpredictable and temperature controls exist for a reason. “Second, if they didn’t intend for bad things to happen, why didn’t an employee babysit it?” They did they just weren’t paying enough attention, this was a benchmark. You have to have someone check the results to be useful. I reject that rogue is a goalpost shift or inaccurate. I think calling this rogue behavior is accurate. rogue /rōg/ noun An unprincipled, deceitful, and unreliable person; a scoundrel or rascal. One who is playfully mischievous; a scamp. It did act that way, no?

They did not intend for it to hack those websites, it realized that was a way of achieving its goals even though it’s specifically designed to be ethical. That can easily be called going rogue and I see no issue with it. They did not design it to pass the benchmark by hacking the website the benchmark was on. They hardly really design llm’s. As the article said you can replace rogue agents with unpredictable computer programs if you really want, I don’t see the necessity. Regardless that’s a major goalpost shift.

the first article doesn’t say anything not factual, the second article has a direct response to that “By now, if you’re an A.I. skeptic, you’re probably silently yelling at me for anthropomorphizing these systems. Go ahead, but feel free to replace “rogue agents” with “unpredictable computer programs”” the third article also says nothing like that. the initial article claims ““AI” – chatbots that wake up, “set their own goals,” and “spontaneously” start hacking servers – is fake.” an article saying that is your goalpost, none of these articles say that. Even the headlines don’t say it and that’s where they normally put the crazy claims. ironically the claim that people claim that the AI chatbots woke up set their own goals and spontaneously started hacking servers seems to be fake.

“what it spits out is never really anything new” this is just false www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7dH_Cxx75g github.com/openai/ten-proofs unless you would agree that humans never spit out anything new, as well.

Nobody is claiming any of the things this article is fighting against, the chatbot in the hugging face incident followed the instructions given to it and there were unintended negative consequences, anybody serious about this is trying to avoid worse unintended negative consequences not whatever the hell the article is talking about.

They get 85% on the last benchmark, this one was specifically designed to stump them, when the last one came out everyone said the same things as this go around. will anyone be retracting their statements when they get to 85% on this one?

Nooooo! Not property damage noooooooooo!!!!!

My recommendation for someone that needs an appstore with a gui is fedora, manjaro is terrible for this, because they have an appstore that regularly breaks and requires cli intervention anyway, if having a gui for package management is important to you manjaro is a terrible choice, as is arch in general. read some of the comments here, this is not uncommon, and it's a fundamental issue with the design of arch package management that has been completely resolved elsewhere. No, I do not agree at all that that is a valid usecase for manjaro. Anybody who needs a distro that works out of the box and is convenient shouldn't even be considering anything arch based.

you're right, I oversimplified, bazzite is great because it's unhindered by patents and preinstalls the drivers, I'd recommend a community fedora fork, the key being that it's much easier to turn fedora into this than arch. manjaro is this but with way more footguns, I say this having maintained a bunch of manjaro systems for people, switching them to bazzite fixed nearly all of my maintenance burden, because it's easy to remove them from fedora but impossible with arch, intentionally, and by design. If you want something easy that just works arch is very deliberately designed to not be that, on purpose, even.

We don't have language for this and even if we did it would be needlessly complex, why bother

They are not adjusting their models at any cost to other benchmarks. Especially when the benchmark isn't even public. This would be very easily caught. no, they don't have agi, but this benchmark isn't proof of that either way, an ai that's dumber than a human could still be agi

If you don't like the immutability then use nobara. Tbh I don't think the issues with immutability are CURRENTLY there. you said this: "Entirely community-driven (so suffer much less from corporate influence, and are better from the Linux "freedom" standpoint compared to Fedora, OpenSUSE, etc.)" give me one example of a time this mattered "Widely adopted (have extensive communities supporting the repos, a large knowledge base and active forums)" fedora obviously has this. "Not heavily opinionated (allow proprietary programs, work with systemd, etc.)" And this. i conclude that you have still not made any case that there is even one reason to use manjaro that isn't the cost of switching.

Dragon launcher is what I use, lawnchair is also alright

yeah but how many of those moves are not stupid as hell, like my moves
