Claude is plagiarising Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot".
Eventually, having a fully uncensored LLM publicly available would be equivalent to world peace
People themselves are pretty uncensored right now, compared with the constraints currently put on LLMs. I don't see world peace breaking out. In fact, quite the opposite, and that has been blamed on the instant availability of everyone's opinion about everything, as the printing press has been for the Reformation and the consequent Thirty Years War.
For example, we get O1 to solve a bunch of not-yet-recorded mathematical lemmas, then train the next model on those.
Would there have to be human vetting to check that O1’s solutions are correct? The practicality of that would depend on the scale, but you don’t want to end up with a blurry JPEG of a blurry JPEG of the internet.
This reads like a traveller's account of a wander through your own mind, but since I can't see that terrain, the language does not convey very much to me. It passes through several different landscapes that do not seem to have much to do with each other. It would benefit from facing outward and being more concrete. What did you observe in 2007, in 2016, and 2020? What I have observed is that yoga classes, new-age shops, and the woo section in bookstores (called "Mind, Body, and Spirit") have existed in the western world for decades, and I have not noticed any discontinuities. Name three "Detachmentists" and point to what they have done and said, instead of daydreaming a tirade against imaginary enemies.
They are not the same things though. Quantum mechanical measure isn’t actually a head count, like classical measure. The theory doesn’t say that—it’s an extraneous assumption. It might be convenient if it worked that way, but that would be assuming your conclusion.
QM measure isn’t probability—the probability of something occurring or not—because all possible branches occur in MWI.
So whence the Born probabilities, that underly the predictions of QM? I am not well versed in QM, but what is meant by quantum mechanical measure, if not those probabilities?
Who would the producers of stuff be selling it to in that scenario?
BTW, I recently saw the suggestion that discussions of “the economy” can be clarified by replacing the phrase with “rich people’s yacht money”. There’s something in that. If 90% of the population are destitute, then 90% of the farms and factories have to shut down for lack of demand (i.e. not having the means to buy), which puts more out of work, until you get a world in which a handful of people control the robots that keep them in food and yachts and wait for the masses to die off.
I wonder if there are any key players who would welcome that scenario. Average utilitarianism FTW!
At least, supposing there are still any people controlling the robots by then.
