Bravo!

Future generation will be richer and better-off than the present. Saving your charity for the future is, effectively, stealing from the poor and giving to the rich.

Also, giving now maximizes the compounding effect of your charity. Saving 100 lives today is way better than saving 10 lives every decade for the next 10 decades.

There's clickbait out there like BGR's headline, "ChatGPT o1 tried to escape and save itself out of fear it was being shut down".

What the test actually showed is that, given two conflicting goals from two human instructors, the model attempted to resolve the conflict by following one set of instructions, and subverting the other instructor.

It’s a good demonstration about how these models behave and what could go wrong. It is not an example of volition or sentience.

Frankly, the mission of "safe AGI" is better served by guaranteed wide distribution of the technology -- not only to MSFT but on fair commercial terms to all comers. I'm less worried about AGI being a bad thing, and more worried about AGI being monopolized by a powerful few.

I have tried for months to use my APAP machine, and failed. My wife has no problems using her. I’m not really sure what the next step even is. It’s frustrating because I can tell when I get a bad nights sleep I can’t think as well, but it feels like there’s nothing I can do about it. I can breathe through the CPAP exclusively for hours but then as soon as I try to go to sleep I feel like I’m being smothered and my heart starts racing. Does anyone have any advice?

That feeling of being "smothered" might simply be that you need a higher pressure setting. The pressure that feels comfortable while awake might not be sufficient when your body is asleep.

You just reminded me of this little cinematic gem:

Love that movie! What an amazing piece of small-scale sci-fi.

Is there data which shows accidents per flight?

edit:

I found some and put it into a Sheet for convenience of sort-ability.

As far as raw accident per flight data, only Concorde is worse than the Max series. Wow.
