Each local church has a unique personality that reflects its leadership. In context, the word church refers to those who have been attending for a while and are actively participating in the environments and equipping ministries that the leadership provides. Nominal Christians or inconsistent attendees are not part of the demographic in view here. Because of the leaders' influence, assessing the church's model for ministry is vital because no two leaders are the same, making no two churches the same. Let's examine six standard church models by looking at their upsides and downsides.

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: Is scheming more likely in models trained to have long-term goals? (Sections 2.2.4.1-2.2.4.2 of "Scheming AIs"), published by Joe Carlsmith on November 30, 2023 on The AI Alignment Forum. This is Sections 2.2.4.1-2.2.4.2 of my report "Scheming AIs: Will AIs fake alignment during training in order to get power?". There's also a summary of the full report here (audio here). The summary covers most of the main points and technical terms, and I'm hoping that it will provide much of the context necessary to understand individual sections of the report on their own. Audio version of this section here, or search "Joe Carlsmith Audio" on your podcast app. What if you intentionally train models to have long-term goals? In my discussion of beyond-episode goals thus far, I haven't been attending very directly to the length of the episode, or to whether the humans are setting up training specifically in order to incentivize the AI to learn to accomplish long-horizon tasks. Do those factors make a difference to the probability that the AI ends up with the sort of the beyond-episode goals necessary for scheming? Yes, I think they do. But let's distinguish between two cases, namely: Training the model on long (but not: indefinitely long) episodes, and Trying to use short episodes to create a model that optimizes over long (perhaps: indefinitely long) time horizons. I'll look at each in turn. Training the model on long episodes In the first case, we are specifically training our AI using fairly long episodes - say, for example, a full calendar month. That is: in training, in response to an action at t1, the AI receives gradients that causally depend on the consequences of its action a full month after t1, in a manner that directly punishes the model for ignoring those consequences in choosing actions at t1. Now, importantly, as I discussed in the section on "non-schemers with schemer-like traits," misaligned non-schemers with longer episodes will generally start to look more and more like schemers. Thus, for example, a reward-on-the-episode seeker, here, would have an incentive to support/participate in efforts to seize control of the reward process that will pay off within a month. But also, importantly: a month is still different from, for example, a trillion years. That is, training a model on longer episodes doesn't mean you are directly pressuring it to care, for example, about the state of distant galaxies in the year five trillion. Indeed, on my definition of the "incentivized episode," no earthly training process can directly punish a model for failing to care on such a temporal scope, because no gradients the model receives can depend (causally) on what happens over such timescales. And of course, absent training-gaming, models that sacrifice reward-within-the-month for more-optimal-galaxies-in-year-five-trillion will get penalized by training. In this sense, the most basic argument against expecting beyond episode-goals (namely, that training provides no direct pressure to have them, and actively punishes them, absent training-gaming, if they ever lead to sacrificing within-episode reward for something longer-term) applies to both "short" (e.g., five minutes) and "long" (e.g., a month, a year, etc) episodes in equal force. However, I do still have some intuition that once you're training a model on fairly long episodes, the probability that it learns a beyond-episode goal goes up at least somewhat. The most concrete reason I can give for this is that, to the extent we're imagining a form of "messy goal-directedness" in which, in order to build a schemer, SGD needs to build not just a beyond-episode goal to which a generic "goal-achieving engine" can then be immediately directed, but rather a larger set of future-oriented heuristics, patterns of attention, beliefs, and so o...

Hello, Climate Champions! In today's episode of the Climate Confident Podcast I had the pleasure of hosting Matt Gray, the co-founder and CEO of Transition Zero, a trailblazer in energy systems modelling.In our conversation, Matt delved into the intricate world of energy systems modelling, a crucial tool for stakeholders and decision-makers in shaping our energy future. He emphasized Transition Zero's mission to democratise this complex tool, making it accessible, auditable, and reproducible. This, Matt believes, is vital for accelerating the transition to a sustainable energy future.We explored the significant challenges in moving towards net zero, particularly the technical and political barriers. Matt highlighted the crucial role of transmission investments in the energy grid and how these investments, or the lack thereof, influence our ability to harness low-cost renewable energies like wind and solar.Another key takeaway from our chat was the importance of data transparency in fostering global collaboration. Matt underlined how Transition Zero's commitment to open data and models aims to bridge the gap between pledges and actions in climate commitments, thereby enhancing global climate action.Matt's insights on the role of transmission in achieving net zero were particularly thought-provoking, revealing how strategic investments can save trillions while facilitating a faster shift to renewable energy sources.We wrapped up with Matt's thoughts on COP28 and his future plans for Transition Zero.

Christine Foster, CID, NCIDQ, EDAC is a Licensed New York State Interior Designer and 25-year veteran of the design industry. Learn about her innovative housing model that aligns affordable housing for caregivers with a multi-generational residential home for aging in community. About Christine Christine practices as a New York State Licensed Interior Design Professional and operates eight two three Interior Planning / Design LLC, located in Horseheads New York. As a graduate of Rochester Institute of Technology, she received her BFA in Interior Design with a concentration in Environmental Studies in 1995. While New York State Licensure, and NCIDQ Certification attest to her understanding of public health, safety, and welfare requirements, her commitment to design extends well beyond these critical fundamentals. Christine's desire to align evidence in the healthcare industry with built environment led her to obtain the EDAC-Evidence Based Design Accreditation and Certification, in 2020. She continues her commitment to the utilization of built environment as a tool for preventative medicine in the spaces she creates. Understanding how spaces impact our psychological and physiological well-being remains her true passion. Christine encourages the utilization of Biophilic and Trauma Informed Design approaches in her work. She maintains that these interventions are imperative to include in the planning of successful collaborative living environments. Most recently, Christine has pioneered a grassroots community initiative in support of a model that aligns affordable housing for caregivers alongside a collaborative, multi-generational residential home for aging in community. Through this initiative, Christine has created an opportunity to elevate her knowledge of evidence-based design practice by connecting both established and evolving programs within the long-term care industry with built environment. Her affiliations with SAGE- Society for Advancement of Gerontological Environments and The Center for Health Design since 2018 has afforded the alignment of relevant research with design of the built environment. Key Takeaways New models for senior living are essential. Retirement communities, nursing homes, or aging in place can no longer be the only options. It takes innovation and creativity to find new solutions. Connecting the built environment with long-term care could have profound impacts on aging. From the trajectory of many diseases, such as Alzheimer's, one's space can have a positive influence on varying aspects of aging – and it's where a lot of other solutions lie. We need options for mid-market seniors. Currently, they are rare, and we have a "tsunami" of older adults needing solutions for longt-erm care. A collaborative housing model looks at separating the cost of housing from the cost of care. This housing model would home five to seven residents with an adjacent dwelling for a caregiver, rotating family member, student, or other community member. Among other things, it would help curb the loneliness factor of aging. Trauma-informed and biophilic design research is key to the success of collaborative housing models.
This episode looks at Llloyd's Register Foundation's new project Maritime Innovation in Miniature which is one of the most exciting maritime heritage projects of recent years and a leader in terms of innovation in the maritime heritage field. The aim of the project is to film the world's best ship models. They are removed from their protective glass cases and filmed in studio conditions with the very latest camera equipment. In particular, the ships are filmed using a macro probe lens, which offers a unique perspective and extreme close up shots. It allows the viewer to get up close and personal with the subject, whilst maintaining a bug-eyed wide angle image. This makes the models appear enormous - simply put, it's a way of bringing the ships themselves back to life.Ship models are a hugely under-appreciated, under-valued and under-exploited resource for engaging large numbers of people with maritime history. The majority of museum-quality ship models exist in storage; those that are on display have little interpretation; few have any significant online presence at all; none have been preserved on film using modern techniques. These are exquisitely made 3D recreations of the world's most technologically significant vessels, each with significant messages about changing maritime technology and the safety of seafarers.The ships may no longer survive…but models of them do. This project acknowledges and celebrates that fact by bringing them to life with modern technology, in a way that respects and honours the art of the original model makers and the millions of hours of labour expended to create this unparalleled historical resource.This episode looks in particular at the extraordinary models that were filmed in 2022 at the Swedish National Maritime Museum in Stockholm.

IntelStor released information on onshore wind turbine profitability on LinkedIn. It provided a unique insight into the specific turban profitability and garnered several hundred thousand views. Okay, Phil, explain what that chart means and why we should care. Philip Totaro: This chart on asset owner net profit after they've achieved a net positive return on capital. What that means is, if you've spent, let's say, 200 million dollars on building a project, once your project has paid back that 200 million plus, how much is really left over? And which makes and models of turbine are actually giving you the best possible financial return? What we came to the conclusion of with this was, the turbines that are towards the top of this list are the ones that have a fairly reasonable net capacity factor, but they also have pretty high legacy PPA. That's usually on the order of, 65, 70, 75 dollars plus. Those are the turbines that are going to end up producing the best financial performance for you. Not necessarily just the ones with the best technical performance. Joel Saxum: What if we're talking, we want to talk apples to apples. So if I have the same piece of ground and the same wind resource in one spot, what is the best performing technically turbine? What make model should we be actually installing and why? Philip Totaro: In that ranking, what we've got are GE and Vestas are at the top. And then you've actually got Siemens, Siemens Gamesa, and Goldwind are actually the three and four. And GE and Vestas do get a bit of preferential treatment that they've got the better performing project sites, but at the end of the day, the turbine availability is going to be one of the largest determining factors of that profitability, because whatever your net capacity factor is, it's just, what the site does. So a project site that's got, let's say a 45 to 50 percent net capacity factor, but only a 12 a megawatt hour PPA, financially, is going to underperform a project site that's got, a 25 percent capacity factor, but an 80 a megawatt hour PPA. Allen Hall: But when it gets down to same site, which turbines are better? And what I think I'm seeing in this data, Phil, is the smaller turbines outperform the bigger turbines, and it's not even really close. Philip Totaro: They are, and the reason for that is they benefit a lot from the legacy power purchase contracts. Basically, it makes up for the fact that their net capacity factor is a lot lower then a brand new, shiny turbine that's got like a 50 percent net capacity factor.

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: A taxonomy of non-schemer models (Section 1.2 of "Scheming AIs"), published by Joe Carlsmith on November 22, 2023 on The AI Alignment Forum. This is Section 1.2 of my report "Scheming AIs: Will AIs fake alignment during training in order to get power?". There's also a summary of the full report here (audio here). The summary covers most of the main points and technical terms, and I'm hoping that it will provide much of the context necessary to understand individual sections of the report on their own. Audio version of this section here. Other models training might produce I'm interested, in this report, in the likelihood that training advanced AIs using fairly baseline ML methods (for example, of the type described in Cotra (2022)) will give rise, by default, to schemers - that is, to agents who are trying to get high reward on the episode specifically in order to get power for themselves (or for other AIs) later. In order to assess this possibility, though, we need to have a clear sense of the other types of models this sort of training could in principle produce. In particular: terminal training-gamers, and agents that aren't playing the training-game at all. Let's look at each in turn. Terminal training-gamers (or, "reward-on-the-episode seekers") As I said above, terminal training-gamers aim their optimization at the reward process for the episode because they intrinsically value performing well according to some part of that process, rather than because doing so serves some other goal. I'll also call these "reward-on-the-episode seekers." We discussed these models above, but I'll add a few more quick clarifications. First, as many have noted (e.g. Turner (2022) and Ringer (2022)), goal-directed models trained using RL do not necessarily have reward as their goal. That is, RL updates a model's weights to make actions that lead to higher reward more likely, but that leaves open the question of what internal objectives (if any) this creates in the model itself (and the same holds for other sorts of feedback signals). So the hypothesis that a given sort of training will produce a reward-on-the-episode seeker is a substantive one (see e.g. here for some debate), not settled by the structure of the training process itself. That said, I think it's natural to privilege the hypothesis that models trained to produce highly-rewarded actions on the episode will learn goals focused on something in the vicinity of reward-on-the-episode. In particular: these sorts of goals will in fact lead to highly-rewarded behavior, especially in the context of situational awareness.[1] And absent training-gaming, goals aimed at targets that can be easily separated from reward-on-the-episode (for example: "curiosity") can be detected and penalized via what I call "mundane adversarial training" below (for example, by putting the model in a situation where following its curiosity doesn't lead to highly rewarded behavior). Second: the limitation of the reward-seeking to the episode is important. Models that care intrinsically about getting reward in a manner that extends beyond the episode (for example, "maximize my reward over all time") would not count as terminal training-gamers in my sense (and if, as a result of this goal, they start training-gaming in order to get power later, they will count as schemers on my definition). Indeed, I think people sometimes move too quickly from "the model wants to maximize the sort of reward that the training process directly pressures it to maximize" to "the model wants to maximize reward over all time."[2] The point of my concept of the "episode" - i.e., the temporal unit that the training process directly pressures the model to optimize - is that these aren't the same. More on this in section 2.2.1 below. Finally: while I'll speak of "reward-on-the-epi...

Welcome back to the podcast, beautiful! On today's podcast episode, I am dispelling the intimidation and pressure that you may be feeling around your manifestations or when things aren't going your way. The Bridge of Incidents is a term created by Neville Goddard, which describes the natural unfolding of events that occurs so that your manifestations can come true. Think about those difficult moments in life where things just seemed to NOT be going your way. Well, what the bridge of incidents implies is that those inconveniences, L's, failures, and setbacks are all creating a bridge that takes you to your desired reality. Everything is happening FOR you. All Universal Laws manifest through you, and when you live in the state of knowing that everything is happening for you, you allow the laws to work magic in your life. This is the proper labeling I want you to assign to your 3D reality... REGARDLESS of what you see. Listen in to hear all about it! . .

In this paper read, we discuss “Towards Monosemanticity: Decomposing Language Models Into Understandable Components,” a paper from Anthropic that addresses the challenge of understanding the inner workings of neural networks, drawing parallels with the complexity of human brain function. It explores the concept of “features,” (patterns of neuron activations) providing a more interpretable way to dissect neural networks. By decomposing a layer of neurons into thousands of features, this approach uncovers hidden model properties that are not evident when examining individual neurons. These features are demonstrated to be more interpretable and consistent, offering the potential to steer model behavior and improve AI safety.Find the transcript and more here: https://arize.com/blog/decomposing-language-models-with-dictionary-learning-paper-reading/To learn more about ML observability, join the Arize AI Slack community or get the latest on our LinkedIn and Twitter.

Join Sasha & Stella for their interview with Dr. Jillian Spencer, a child and adolescent psychiatrist from Queensland, Australia. This episode delves into Dr. Spencer's experiences with the gender clinic in her hospital, highlighting the challenges and concerns she faced in encountering adolescents identifying as transgender. The episode explores the complexities of assessing and treating gender dysphoria in young individuals, shedding light on the impact of fast-tracking into gender clinics and the potential psychological consequences. Dr. Spencer shares her journey of trying to raise awareness about the concerns surrounding gender interventions for children and the need for a more comprehensive approach to mental health. Jillian Spencer is a child and adolescent psychiatrist who lives in Queensland, Australia. She studied Medicine at Monash University in Melbourne and then subsequently trained in psychiatry. She completed sub-speciality certificates in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Forensic Psychiatry. She qualified as a psychiatrist in 2009. She has worked for Queensland Health for 21 years. In mid-April 2023, she was removed from clinical duties due to being considered a danger to trans and gender diverse children. Since her story came out in the media in June, she has sought to raise awareness of the concerns around gender interventions for children.Sasha & Stella's conversation with Dr. Spencer touches on the influence of clinicians, the surge in youth attending gender clinics, encounters with dismissive responses from superiors, and the attempt to raise critical questions about safeguarding and ethical considerations in the treatment of gender dysphoria.This is the emotionally compelling account of the circumstances surrounding Dr. Spencer's suspension from clinical duties, her experiences raising awareness through presentations, distributing books, and participating in "Let Women Speak" rallies, and the broader implications for healthcare professionals challenging the prevailing narrative on gender dysphoria in children.Dr. Jillian Spencer speaks at a Let Women Speak rally in 2023 with Kellie-Jay Keenhttps://youtu.be/7OcIuLlbIPc?t=1204 Dr. Spencer's reference of former GWL guest, Ellie from her 2023 presentation:Models of Care for Children with Gender Dysphoriahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBZ-QkBGWlA&t=169s Introduction to the Gender Frameworkhttps://genspect.org/introduction-to-the-gender-framework/ Genspect's: The Gender Frameworkhttps://genspect.org/resources/sample-policies/genspect-presents-the-gender-framework/ Bigger Picture Conference - DenverTalks from the #genspectbiggerpicture conference in Denver, CO, 2023.

Exegetes have long relied on the framework of the Acts of the Apostles to understand the behavior and organization of Paul's various ekklēsiai (assemblies), or church communities, from which Christ-groups have often been conceptualized as extensions from practices of diasporic Jewish synagogues. However, Richard S. Ascough's work has been at the forefront of a scholarly movement emphasizing the relevance of data from Greco-Roman associations—occupational, cultic, ethnic, and otherwise—not only as a preferable model for understanding the constitution of early Christ-following communities, but also as fruitful comparanda for interpreting Paul's letters, such as 1 Thessalonians and Philippians. On this episode, Dr. Ascough joined the New Books Network to discuss Early Christ Groups and Greco-Roman Associations: Organizational Models and Social Practices (Cascade Books, 2022), a collection of his articles and essays on associations from the last 25 years detailing the road to the acceptance of association data within scholarship as well as the recruitment, self-promotion, socializing, and memorializing practices that these recoveries from antiquity reveal. Ascough discusses how he carved his own niche within biblical studies, from starting as a master's student with a small group to translate previously unpublished inscriptions and papyri to ultimately showcasing the applicability of association behavior to early Christ-groups, Pauline and otherwise. Richard S. Ascough (Ph.D., Toronto School of Theology, 1997) is a Professor at the School of Religion at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. He has written extensively on the formation of early Christ groups and Greco-Roman religious culture, with particular attention to various types of associations. He has published widely in the field with more than fifty articles or essays and thirteen books, including Christ Groups & Associations: Foundational Essays(Baylor U. Press, 2022), Associations in the Greco-Roman World: A Sourcebook (Baylor U. Press, 2012), and Paul's Macedonian Associations (Mohr Siebeck, 2003). He has been recognized for his innovative and effective teaching in many ways, including the two top teaching awards at Queen's University and a 3M National Teaching Fellowship (2018). Rob Heaton (Ph.D., University of Denver, 2019) hosts Biblical Studies conversations for New Books in Religion and teaches New Testament, Christian origins, and early Christianity at Anderson University in Indiana.

Ah, sweet Charlene. In this week's “Designing Women” episode, she was once again sucked into the mystic allure of fame. But, this wasn't like all those times before - from the designs on being a country and western singer, or when she thought about being a lady preacher, OR when she wanted to be a jury foreperson. No, this week's dream of fame is a bit more removed. A bit more vicarious. A bit more…stage mom. That's right: this one is all about Olivia. Petite. Charming. Her little bald head gleaming in the limelight. A Star is Born indeed. Which got us (or at least, Nikki) in the mindset of baby and child models. So, let's fall down the rabbit hole on child models a little bit and why not play a Grits Blitz along the way!
Welcome back to the podcast, beautiful! Get better at shifting into the in-state of your manifestations by realizing that who you are (who you TRULY are) at your core, is pure consciousness. You are not your body and you are not your mind. You are consciousness. You are awareness. By knowing this, you get to choose which reality and which self-concept you wish you live in by simply shifting your consciousness to the desired state you wish to live in. If you desire to change your self-concept, then simply shift your consciousness from this version of you--to that version of you. Listen in to hear all about it! . . BBU is now open for enrollment all year round!
