Jim Fan from NVIDIA explained how flawed the methodology of this benchmark is. I wouldn't put any weight on it.

There's a fact in the article discussing this exact point around relative rates of antimicrobial use by country:

> Australia ranks seventh-highest in the developed world for antimicrobial community prescribing rates. Australia’s hospital antimicrobial use is estimated to be nearly three times that of the European country with the lowest use, the Netherlands.

So we are top 10 but not the single worse offender, at least by this metric.

I'd say that Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio, two outspoken proponents of existential AI safety, are pretty familiar with how AI works.

Super cool resource for middle and high school students learning to code! I wish this existed when I was in school. Will definitely be sharing it with kids and even older folks wanting to learn the basics of code :)

In my own experiments with OpenAI's GPT-4 API with temperature set to zero, I was still not getting deterministic outputs, with some small variations between completions. Not sure why, and I haven't had a chance to dig further or talk to their team about why and how this happens.

Amazing concrete, thorough advice -- thank you so much for taking the time to share it with me and others in the same boat!

Super helpful take, thanks!

There are a lot of critiques here and elsewhere of the statement and the motivations of its signatories. I don't think they are right and I think they take away from the very serious existential risks we face. I've written up my detailed views, see specifically "Signing the statement purely for personal benefit":

Very little by way of arguments for why these chat bots are or aren't sentient. This article has an assumed point of view (current AI bots aren't sentient) and then describes & judges user's reactions to chat bots in light of that. I don't think it adds very much new to the societal conversation.

Vow | Smart problem solvers in a variety of roles | Full-time | Remote + Local (Sydney, Australia)

At Vow, we're growing meat that's better than the meat we eat today. While we deeply care about the environmental & ethical implications of transitioning from industrial animal agriculture, we also think the only way to get mass adoption of alternatives is if we can create something people will selfishly want for taste / nutrition / cost / other selfish reasons - think Tesla's approach to electric cars (record beating acceleration etc) or adoption of solar (massive adoption once cheaper than coal).

We have a long list of open roles (engineering to operations and more), but are also just looking for passionate, hard working problem solvers who don't fit a role. DM me if that describes you. If you see a role that fits, apply directly at https://www.vowfood.com/careers

We have both remote + local team members and make remote work for as many roles as we possibly can.

Come save our climate, ecosystems, and the world's animals while working on the most exciting technical challenges in the world today!

I also lead engineering over at Vow (vowfood.com), where we're hoping to transition the world to cell-cultured meat as a way to dramatically cut back on global emissions, since a quarter of all GHG emissions are food related.[1][2] If you're a Software or Mechatronics Engineer who wants to learn more, shoot me a message. We're hiring in Sydney and for experienced remote software engineers as well.
