AI Unchained

"Our first instinct when interacting with a Large Language Model should not be “wow these things must be really smart or really creative or really understanding”. Our first instinct should be “I’ve probably asked it to do something that it has seen bits and pieces of before”. That might mean it is still really useful, even if it isn’t “thinking really hard” or “doing some really sophisticated reasoning”. We don’t have to use anthropomorphization to understand what it is doing to provide us a response." ~ Mark Riedl Today we dive into a great piece from Mark Riedl attempting to demystify ChatGPT and large language models. Are they thinking? do they understand reason? Can we even understand what is happening inside these intelligent machines or have we created something we cannot control? What if the truth is far simpler, and actually easy to understand? And we can cut through all the hype, fear, and confusion, to get at the heart of what this technology really is, and what an incredible tool it can be. Don't miss this incredible piece.

What if we could mitigate the enormous centralizing effects of the massive server farms and huge corporate entities, by pooling the GPU power of the millions of users and tinkerers who have unused or regularly idle computational power, into a decentralized marketplace for buying and selling Ai execution, and we could power it all with instantly settled sats over lightning? It just so happens that we can, and this ambitious project is being brought to life with GPUtopia. Chris David from the project joins us today to break down the vision and how they hope to play a part in the decentralized future of Ai.

Today we delve into a captivating topic, as we explore the potential relationship between AI and evil. My guest Dhruv Bansal brings his profound insights to the forefront as we navigate the depths of this subject. We contemplate the ethical dilemmas that arise when intelligence is harnessed for destructive purposes, and Dhruv expertly unpacks the intricate interplay between AI intelligence, good, and evil, leaving us with a lot to consider about its impact on our lives and the broader world. We go deep as we strive to discern the true nature of intelligence and its potential ramifications on our collective humanity.

"So we had built this for a while, but because API calls are basically free, there really wasn't a good match for it. There were some good matches for it and people would do it, but as they were doing it, it was like 'I can do it this way, but I can also do it with dollars.' This is kind of a really interesting paradigm when it comes to Ai stuff is that there's basically 3 or 4 different aspects of Ai that make it so you cannot use credit card relationships to solve the monetization problems there. But you can with Bitcoin and Lightning as it exists today, not requiring any changes to the protocol..." ~ Kody Low Today we dive into an incredible conversation with Kody Low from Fedi, who is hosting the Ai4All hackathon and believes he has found a solution to an increasingly huge, and seemingly impossible problem within Ai, that you can no longer distinguish human from robot online. What happens when Ai can create an infinite number of new identities? Is this the end of the open internet? find out in this awesome episode.

Today we follow up from #002 with Alek Svetski to get him back on and digging into the open, community project they are releasing, the Spirit of Satoshi. They are exploring the capabilities of LLMs in combination with a data store in scaling one-on-one education that explores a topic or idea through a lens of explicit bias. Can we instill a variety of genuinely different worldviews and perspectives into Ai from which to test our understanding of the world? Svetski thinks we can. Hope you guys enjoy this one!

"These contributions were pivotal in the image generation space, setting Stable Diffusion on a different path from Dall-E. Having an open model led to ⁠product integrations⁠, ⁠marketplaces⁠, ⁠user interfaces⁠, and ⁠innovations⁠ that didn’t happen for Dall-E. The effect was palpable: ⁠rapid domination⁠ in terms of cultural impact vs the OpenAI solution, which became increasingly irrelevant. Whether the same thing will happen for LLMs remains to be seen, but the broad structural elements are the same." ~ Anonymous Google Employee While I wasn't sure whether I would bring the "read" format to this podcast, there was just too much great material to cover and I felt I would do a disservice if I didn't make it available for the audience who wants to dive into this stuff with me fully, rather than be satisfied with a summary. So I felt the best option for a flagship read, was the article that finally tipped me over the edge to start Ai Unchained.

Ai may be able to make us vastly more productive, far more creative, and orders of magnitude more dangerous. As Ai moves into the realm of creating hierarchies of tasks to accomplish larger goals, combined with the unparalleled scalability of its execution, a broad, self-spreading and malicious Ai becomes frighteningly more possible by the day. Like a wildfire burning out of control, what could be the consequences, how bad could a hypothetical scenario get, and what, if anything, can we do about it?

"This is the first time we've interacted with anything other than a parrot that can string together a coherent sentence. And it sounds stupid, but it's actually true. So we are anthropomorphizing, we are projecting our own consciousness onto this thing, and we are immediately imagining Terminator, Minority Report, God knows what else we are imagining - the Ray Kurzweil's of the world - we're imagining that all of a sudden, that's it, we unlocked it, basically we have discovered God. We did it. To me that's such a mix of naivety, ignorance, and arrogance that it's not even funny." ~ Aleks Svetski We have an awesome conversation kicking off episode 2 of AI Unchained today with Aleks Svetski, who is currently building a not-yet-public project in the AI world. He brings a very unique perspective that tries to bring back a bit of perspective to the imaginations gone wild on the world ending possibilities of AI. What is the truth of it? And can we instill "truth" in these machines? Can we make them "objective and unbiased?" Or is there something both inherently foolish and presuming in even the attempt of such a thing, that we can prevent making the same mistakes of the past. Don't miss this crazy conversation.
