This podcast episode focuses on the work of Danny Hernandez, a research scientist at OpenAI, who is primarily focused on measuring progress in artificial intelligence. He examines three major drivers of AI progress: compute, algorithmic innovation, and data, and the podcast explores the relationship between these drivers. Hernandez also discusses the challenges of forecasting in AI, particularly in the context of highly impactful and unlikely events. He emphasizes the importance of calibration training for improving forecasting skills and argues for a greater focus on understanding the economic impact of AI to better understand its progress. The conversation also touches upon the importance of AI safety, with Hernandez highlighting the work of various safety teams at OpenAI, such as the Foresight team, which focuses on understanding macro trends in AI, and the Reflection team, which concentrates on ensuring AI systems are aligned with human values.

What algorithmic developments have yielded the greatest efficiency boosts? When, if ever, will we hit the upper limits of the amount of computing power, data, money, etc., we can throw at AI development? Why do some people seemingly become fixated on particular tasks that particular AI models can't perform and draw the conclusion that AIs are still pretty dumb and won't be taking our jobs any time soon? What kinds of tasks are more or less easily automatable? Should more people work on AI? What does it mean to "take ownership" of our friendships?

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: Conditioning Predictive Models: Large language models as predictors, published by evhub on February 2, 2023 on LessWrong. This is the first of seven posts in the Conditioning Predictive Models Sequence based on the forthcoming paper “Conditioning Predictive Models: Risks and Strategies” by Evan Hubinger, Adam Jermyn, Johannes Treutlein, Rubi Hudson, and Kate Woolverton. Each post in the sequence corresponds to a different section of the paper. We will be releasing posts gradually over the course of the next week or so to give people time to read and digest them as they come out. We are starting with posts one and two, with post two being the largest and most content-rich of all seven. Thanks to Paul Christiano, Kyle McDonell, Laria Reynolds, Collin Burns, Rohin Shah, Ethan Perez, Nicholas Schiefer, Sam Marks, William Saunders, Evan R. Murphy, Paul Colognese, Tamera Lanham, Arun Jose, Ramana Kumar, Thomas Woodside, Abram Demski, Jared Kaplan, Beth Barnes, Danny Hernandez, Amanda Askell, Robert Krzyzanowski, and Andrei Alexandru for useful conversations, comments, and feedback. Abstract Our intention is to provide a definitive reference on what it would take to safely make use of predictive models in the absence of a solution to the Eliciting Latent Knowledge problem. Furthermore, we believe that large language models can be understood as such predictive models of the world, and that such a conceptualization raises significant opportunities for their safe yet powerful use via carefully conditioning them to predict desirable outputs. Unfortunately, such approaches also raise a variety of potentially fatal safety problems, particularly surrounding situations where predictive models predict the output of other AI systems, potentially unbeknownst to us. There are numerous potential solutions to such problems, however, primarily via carefully conditioning models to predict the things we want—e.g. humans—rather than the things we don't—e.g. malign AIs. Furthermore, due to the simplicity of the prediction objective, we believe that predictive models present the easiest inner alignment problem that we are aware of. As a result, we think that conditioning approaches for predictive models represent the safest known way of eliciting human-level and slightly superhuman capabilities from large language models and other similar future models. 1. Large language models as predictors Suppose you have a very advanced, powerful large language model (LLM) generated via self-supervised pre-training. It's clearly capable of solving complex tasks when prompted or fine-tuned in the right way—it can write code as well as a human, produce human-level summaries, write news articles, etc.—but we don't know what it is actually doing internally that produces those capabilities. It could be that your language model is: a loose collection of heuristics,[1] a generative model of token transitions, a simulator that picks from a repertoire of humans to simulate, a proxy-aligned agent optimizing proxies like sentence grammaticality, an agent minimizing its cross-entropy loss, an agent maximizing long-run predictive accuracy, a deceptive agent trying to gain power in the world, a general inductor, a predictive model of the world, etc. Later, we'll discuss why you might expect to get one of these over the others, but for now, we're going to focus on the possibility that your language model is well-understood as a predictive model of the world. In particular, our aim is to understand what it would look like to safely use predictive models to perform slightly superhuman tasks[2]—e.g. predicting counterfactual worlds to extract the outputs of long serial research processes.[3] We think that this basic approach has hope for two reasons. First, the prediction orthogonality thesis seems basically right: we think...

In the second episode of Season 8 (Coming-of-Ages) Kyle is joined by stunt actor Danny Hernandez and novelist Samuel Cullado to discuss the gutwrenching depiction of children lost in Italy's post-war system of cruelty, punishment, and bureaucracy in Vittorio De Sica's stunning coming-of-age masterpiece, Shoeshine (1946).
Today we hear the Combat Story of Danny Hernandez, a Vietnam Veteran who served as a Marine rifleman in Operation Utah in March 1966. Danny would later be awarded the Silver Star and there is currently a push to have that upgraded to a Medal of Honor. Danny came from the rough streets of East LA and after Vietnam would return to be a committed community activist and mentor for many of the kids who were not as fortunate as he was. The Silver Star was certainly earned as Danny was shot twice while providing medical aid to a stranded and wounded Marine on the battlefield; refusing to be evacuated, and killing several enemy soldiers as they flanked the casualty collection point that Danny had just been sitting in. Danny's work on mentoring and building the community in his hometown is inspiring and you can't help but laugh as you hear some of the stories of the Marine Corps back in the Vietnam era. His story is documented in his book, titled “Silver Star: An American Story” in much greater detail for those who are left wanting more.

Danny chooses the Marine Corps. Danny graduates from boot camp the same year President Lyndon B. Johnson commits ground troops to Vietnam. While his cousins back home express interest in the civil rights movement, Danny loses good friends in jungle raids and skirmishes with the Viet Cong. This is a gripping, true-life story, told in Danny's own words. From his training at Camp Pendleton to his heroic actions saving the lives of his fellow marines during Operation Utah, through his honorable discharge during one of the most tumultuous years of the Civil Rights Movement, Danny's endearing, honest, and sometimes heart-wrenching story honors the lives of those who risked everything for their country and their fellow marines.

In the thirty-second episode of Season 7 (Fantastical Realities) Kyle is joined by script supervisor Katy Baldwin and stunt coordinator/horror aficionado Danny Hernandez to discuss the "chinese box structure" and coming-of-age sexuality that encompasses the feminist subversion of traditional fable in Neil Jordan's adaptation of Angela Carter's The Company of Wolves (1984).
In the twenty-seventh episode of Season 7 (Fantastical Realities) Kyle is joined by stunt coordinator Danny Hernandez and screenwriter August Gummere to discuss the dedication to nonsense and absurdism as it relates to the regressive Dark Ages in the very loose yet inspired adaptation of Lewis Carroll in Terry Gilliam's Jabberwocky (1977).
Danny discusses the three exponentials driving AI progress: hardware, algorithmic, and spending. We'll consider extrapolating these trends 10–20 years out. We'll translate effective compute progress into GPT-2 to GPT-3 sized jumps and build an intuition for such jumps. We'll use the extrapolations and jump intuition to think about what capabilities normal progress in effective compute are likely to yield. This session will be particularly relevant to people very concerned about AI, considering working in AI, or choosing an agenda within AI.

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: Monitoring for deceptive alignment, published by Evan Hubinger on September 8, 2022 on The AI Alignment Forum. This post is a follow-up to “AI coordination needs clear wins.” Thanks to Ethan Perez, Kate Woolverton, Richard Ngo, Anne le Roux, Sam McCandlish, Adam Jermyn, and Danny Hernandez for useful conversations, comments, and feedback. In this post, I want to propose a clear, concrete coordination task that I think might be achievable soon given the current landscape, would generate a clear coordination win, and that I think would be highly useful in and of itself. Specifically: I want DeepMind, OpenAI, and Anthropic to commit to actively monitor and look for evidence of deceptive alignment in their models—as well as run experiments to try to predict when and where deceptive alignment might occur before it does. Notably, I am specifically referring only to the narrow case of deceptive alignment here, not just any situation where models say false things. Deceptive alignment is specifically a situation where the reason the model looks aligned is because it is actively trying to game the training signal for the purpose of achieving some ulterior goal. I think this is a pretty minimal ask that would nevertheless be a clear win. Among all AI failure modes, deceptive alignment is one of the most unambiguously bad, which means, though I expect lots of disagreement on its likelihood, there should be little disagreement regarding its severity. Furthermore, things that I'm not asking for: that they make such a commitment highly public or legally binding, that they commit to any specific way of monitoring for or addressing the problem, that any organization has to share anything they find with any other organization, or that they commit to anything other than testing and monitoring. Nevertheless, as I stated, I think this would still be quite useful. First, I think deceptive alignment is clearly one of the most concerning problems in AI alignment. Though they don't always use the framing of deceptive alignment specifically, most presentations of AI risk feature the phenomenon of an AI that wants something in the world deceiving our oversight procedures to get that something. See: treacherous turns, schemers, influence-seeking behavior, power-seeking AI. Furthermore, I think there is a strong case for why deceptive alignment is reasonably likely to appear by default in advanced machine learning systems. Second, I think that it is plausible that, if deceptive alignment is eventually going to be a problem, we'll be able to see it and produce demonstrations of it before it becomes existentially dangerous. I'm less confident in this premise than the previous one, but my current sense is that the space of deceptively aligned models is large enough to include lots of deceptively aligned models that would be willing to display their deception in the presence of the right sort of honeypot. For example, you might be able to find deceptively aligned models that:[1] have relatively short time horizons such that they are very willing to defect even if their payoff and/or probability of successful defection is low, are confused about what level of simulation they're in such that they defect to break out of an inner simulation only to find themselves in an outer simulation, are bad enough at hiding their deception that simple transparency tools can detect them, are unwilling to cooperate with other deceptively aligned models to all defect simultaneously, etc. Of course, just being able to detect deception doesn't mean we'll be able to solve it—and in fact in many cases it seems likely that our default ways of addressing deception would result in deception that just hides itself better—but I still think that being able to detect it before it becomes catastrophic would be a huge win, since i...

Danny Hernandez is one of the premier quarterback mentors and coaches for high school football players in the country. But the fundamental position skills he teaches are secondary to preparing his students to become better men first. He joins host David Berry (MUNICIPAL's VP of People & Culture) to talk about his early influences, creating an environment for young people to succeed, why learning is just as important as teaching, how he absorbed his coaching philosophies, and the absolute key lessons he tries to teach his students. Follow Danny on Instagram: @dannyh131 ABOUT BECOMING BETTER MEN David Berry, a longtime coach and advisor to organizational leaders and the VP of people & culture at MUNICIPAL, hosts a series of conversations with men (and women) who are dedicated to learning, growth, and the belief that cultural norms of masculinity are painfully outdated and damaging. The idea is to inspire and encourage "better men" to both live and lead in wholehearted ways. The dialogue gets deep and candid as each guest shares stories about their origins, developing their values, careers, family, faith, decision-making, and failure.
