Feeling a bit doomsday-ish? Then this post is for you!

#AI is advancing at warp speed, and researchers are still grappling with how these models really work. 🤖💨 Research revealed some creative strategies of these models (see my previous post), but what if constant training leads to hidden capabilities that suddenly erupt? What if the model goes rogue? 😱

Researchers warn of an intelligence explosion, power accumulation, disruption of democratic institutions, and more. Scary stuff, right?

But wait! They’ve also proposed a number of measures to address these challenges, but these are based on the sense of responsibility of the companies behind these large-scale models. So hopefully the paper will get some attention there. 🤞
