Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Live Theory Part 0: Taking Intelligence Seriously, published by Sahil on June 27, 2024 on LessWrong. Acknowledgements The vision here was midwifed originally in the wild and gentle radiance that is Abram's company (though essentially none of the content is explicitly his). The PIBBSS-spirit has been infused in this work from before it began (may it infuse us all), as have meetings with the Agent Foundations team at MIRI over the past ~2 years. More recently, everyone who has been loving the High Actuation project into form (very often spontaneously and without being encumbered by self-consciousness of this fact):[1] individuals include Steve Petersen, Mateusz Baginski, Aditya Prasad, Harmony, TJ, Chris Lakin; the AISC 2024 team, Murray Buchanan, Matt Farr, Arpan Agrawal, Adam, Ryan, Quinn; various people from Topos, ALIFE, MAPLE, EA Bangalore. Published while at CEEALAR. Disclaimers Very occasionally there are small remarks/questions from a remarkable human named Steve, since this and the next two posts are an edited transcript of me giving him a talk. I left them in to retain the conversational tone. Steve has also consistently been a fantastic ground for this channeling. I use the term "artefact" a fair amount in this sequence. Unfortunately for you and me, Anthropic also recently started using "artifact" in a different way. I'm using "artefact" in the common sense of the word. The British spelling should help remind of the distinction. Taking Intelligence Seriously Sahil: I gave a talk recently, at an EA event just two days ago, where I made some quick slides (on the day of the talk, so not nearly as tidy as I'd like) and attempted to walk through this so-called "live theory". (Alternative terms include "adaptive theory" or "fluid theory"; where the theories themselves are imbued with some intelligence.) Maybe I can give you that talk. I'm not sure how much of what I was saying there will be present now, but I can try. What do you think? I think it'll take about 15 minutes. Yeah? Steve: Cool. Sahil: Okay, let me give you a version of this talk that's very abbreviated. So, the title I'm sure already makes sense to you, Steve. I don't know if this is something that you know, but I prefer the word "adaptivity" over intelligence. I'm fine with using "intelligence" for this talk, but really, when I'm thinking of AI and LLMs and "live" (as you'll see later), I'm thinking, in part, of adaptive. And I think that connotes much more of the relevant phenomena, and much less controversially. It's also less distractingly "foundational", in the sense of endless questions on "what intelligence means". Failing to Take Intelligence Seriously Right. So, I want to say there are two ways to fail to take intelligence, or adaptivity, seriously. One is, you know, the classic case, of people ignoring existential risk from artificial intelligence. The old "well, it's just a computer, just software. What's the big deal? We can turn it off." We all know the story there. In many ways, this particular failure-of-imagination is much less pronounced today. But, I say, a dual failure-of-imagination is true today even among the "cognoscenti", where we ignore intelligence by ignoring opportunities from moderately capable mindlike entities at scale. I'll go over this sentence slower in the next slide. For now: there are two ways to not meet reality. On the left of the slide is "nothing will change". The same "classic" case of "yeah, what's the big deal? It's just software." On the right, it's the total singularity, of extreme unknowable super-intelligence. In fact, the phrase "technological singularity", IIRC, was coined by Vernor Vinge to mark the point that we can't predict beyond. So, it's also a way to be mind-killed.

“We live so disconnected from the natural world, and many people live much more disconnected than I am because I've made the natural world my life, my work. But if it's still surprising me and we live so disconnectedly, why is that? Because these owls have been here, all these other creatures have been here since before we got here. They're a normal part of the world. And yet what they do and what they can do, what they're capable of, is so surprising. Why is it so surprising? Why don't we know? Is it a limitation of our human intelligence and our human emotional capacity, or are we taught our disconnection?” - Carl Safina   Carl Safina is an ecologist and author who writes extensively about our human relationship with the natural world and what we can do to make it better.  His most recent book is called, Alife and Me: What Owls Know, What Humans Believe. It's about rescuing a baby owl, watching her grow up, and what he learned from her and himself in the process. His writing has won several awards, including a MacArthur Genius Prize, Pew and Guggenheim fellowships, and the John Burrows, James Beard, and George Rabb metals. He is the first Endowed Professor for Nature and Humanity at Stony Brook University and the founding president of the not for profit, The Safina Center.

This is a linkpost for a talk I gave this past summer for the ALIFE conference. If you haven't heard of it before, ALIFE (short for "artificial life") is a subfield of biology which... well, here are some of the session titles from day 1 of the conference to give the gist: Cellular Automata, Self-Reproduction and Complexity Evolving Robot Bodies and Brains in Unity Self-Organizing Systems with Machine Learning Untangling Cognition: How Information Theory can Demystify Brains ... so you can see how this sort of crowd might be interested in AI alignment. Rory Greig and Simon McGregor definitely saw how such a crowd might be interested in AI alignment, so they organized an alignment workshop at the conference. I gave this talk as part of that workshop. The stated goal of the talk was to "nerd-snipe ALIFE researchers into working on alignment-relevant questions of agency". It's pretty short (~20 minutes), and aims for a general energy of "hey here's some cool research hooks". If you want to nerd-snipe technical researchers into thinking about alignment-relevant questions of agency, this talk is a short and relatively fun one to share. Thankyou to Rory and Simon for organizing, and thankyou to Rory for getting the video posted publicly. Thanks for listening.

In questa puntata abbiamo preso ad esempio due casi differenti, ma che presentano anche varie somiglianze: la pizzeria Bordo, nel quartiere Pigneto di Roma; e Vino & Biga, nel piccolo paese di Alife, in provincia di Caserta.Scopriremo quanto sia importante mantenere l'engagement sui social, e quanto la presenza di un singolo punto di riferimento in una determinata zona possa essere fondamentale per un'attività. Ma spazieremo anche tra gli argomenti, conoscendo un pizzaiolo romano che riesce a imporre uno stile di pizza d'ispirazione napoletana nella sua città d'origine; e parleremo dell'impatto che un'attività ristorativa possa esercitare sullo sviluppo turistico di un territorio.Clicca qui per iscriverti al nostro canale Telegram! - contenuti esclusivi, anteprime e molto altro!In questo episodio parliamo di:Bordo, pizzeria a RomaVino & Biga, pizzeria ad AlifeSalvatore KostaFrancesco Di SalvoLa nostra attrezzatura:Microfono Simon: Samson Q2UMicrofono Peppe: Snowball Blue iCERegistratore portatile: Zoom H1n Mixer: Zoom Podtrack P4Filtro antipop: NeewerCuffie Simon: Behringer BH470Cuffie Peppe: Sony MDR-ZX110Partecipiamo al programma di Affiliazione Amazon.Acquistando tramite questi link sostieni il podcast con una piccola commissione.Grazie di averci ascoltato! :)

Before this episode I picked up some of Phil's new samples, then headed to his home in Connecticut. We sat in his room, I threw the mic between us,  and we talked for a couple hours as we looked through his new samples and designs! He told me about his younger years of inspiration, getting into filming skating, the early years of the brand, and having dertbag put Connecticut on the map. We spoke about him loving/making music, making art/painting, and doing all these outlets at a high caliber instead of just focusing on one craft. He talked about creating natural relationships with people he valued/respected through the art and dertbag. We spoke about early times in New York going to ALIFE, Only, Good Co, hanging with his friends in Odd Future, and reflecting on how enjoyable those times were.  His consistency, and attention to detail, manifested into Kanye West getting dertbag into his hands. Ye loved the brand so much that him and Philip formed a personal and business relationship! Phil spoke on his time at YEEZY, being made art director, traveling, and some of his experiences during this time. After this, he talked about having the opportunity to direct a high prodcution runway at NYFW for dertbag! He reflects on how during these times that he was bouncing around so much and not taking care of his mental/physical health to the level he needed. This amount of stress caused/led him to have complications with his Crohn's and eventually Phil needed intensive surgeries. He spoke about the level of reflection this has caused and that almost passing offered him new perspective. We talked about him now running dertbag alone, taking care of himself/the brand, the recovery that comes with the surgery, and his attention to "refining". This interview is a tightly packed hour where Phil is straight up and honest. I want to say thank you to Phil for being such a gracious and selfless person. This was a really nice day and, as always, hope y'all enjoy the listen! Peace!
