We continue our re-watch of the 2nd season with the two part introduction of the spaghetti-faced Ood. First up is “The Impossible Planet” where the Whosome Twosome land on the very possible space station with the aforementioned Ood giving off satanic possession vibes. Then we spelunk down to “The Satan Pit” confirming that the Devil made the Ood do it (Oodit?). Whilst all this is going down, the Doctor likely meets up with the artist-formerly-know-as-Satan, Rose impossibly has Satan as her co-pilot, and Scooti definitely gets no sympathy from the Devil.
In this episode of Don't Eat Poop!, our hosts Matt and Francine are alone again for a change. Matt brought up a very important topic for discussion: at-home freeze drying, something that's quickly growing in popularity.Matt confessed that he has some ulterior motives behind his topic choice. He wants a freeze dryer in his home, but he's still trying to convince his wife that this is a wise choice.Tune in to learn all about freeze drying food at home, including what exactly freeze drying is, how the process works, and how to make sure you're doing it correctly, so you're able to have products with a shelf life of 25 years and, most importantly, not die.In this episode:
How do the Ood serve Doctor Who? Are they more interesting as harbingers of doom, pawns of the literal devil, or rabid victims of capitalist greed? Planet of the Ood takes the latter approach, and the result is a tale so dark even Donna Noble can't lighten it up. Still, she (and we) can at least get on the Doctor's case for his heavy-handed analogies. So sit back and take a shot of hair tonic while we absorb you into our giant brain.

This week on the OOD podcast, Josh and Kevin are joined by Angellia Perry, also known as "Airgun Angie". In this episode, Angie tells us about her growing up, not necessarily in a "hunting' family, but did not get into it until she met her husband. Angie then was approached by Rick Eutsler about making her outdoor activities into a job, doing product reviews. Since then Angie has delved heavily into not just hunting and shooting with PCP Air rifles (Precharged compressed pneumatic) but hunting and shooting in general. Angie tells us about hunting down in her now home state of South Carolina. Including the various animals she hunts from hogs and deer, to varmints and predators, with everything from Bows and Airguns to modern firearms. Angie also tells us about something Josh and I have not heard of before up here in Michigan, hunting deer with dogs. She then tells us about the booming armadillo population, the damage they do (and dangers they present (disease) and hunting them. We talk about hog hunting with dogs as well, and her experiences with it, and again, talk about the dangers of hunting hogs with dogs to both the hunters and the dogs. We then get into Air gun discussions, Angie relates her experiences with different calibers, power sources, pellet (bullet) choices, shot placement and different types of airguns (breakaction/spring/air/pneumatic) as well as her experiences with different brands, and practical hunting ranges with them. Angie also relates her experiences with optics, which ones are good for airguns and why, using ATN optics, how she likes to use the products and thermal vs nightvsision, and working the booth for them at SHOT Show. We finish with Angie telling us about options for people looking to get into big bore airguns, price points for them and prices for needed accessories. As always, THANK YOU FOR LISTENING.

We speak with Thomas Larsen, Director for Strategy at the Center for AI Policy in Washington, DC, to do a "speed run" overview of all the major technical research directions in AI alignment. A great way to quickly learn broadly about the field of technical AI alignment.In 2022, Thomas spent ~75 hours putting together an overview of what everyone in technical alignment was doing. Since then, he's continued to be deeply engaged in AI safety. We talk to Thomas to share an updated overview to help listeners quickly understand the technical alignment research landscape.We talk to Thomas about a huge breadth of technical alignment areas including:* Prosaic alignment * Scalable oversight (e.g. RLHF, debate, IDA) * Intrepretability * Heuristic arguments, from ARC * Model evaluations* Agent foundations* Other areas more briefly: * Model splintering * Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection * Low impact measures * Threat modelling * Scaling laws * Brain-like AI safety * Inverse reinforcement learning (RL) * Cooperative AI * Adversarial training * Truthful AI * Brain-machine interfaces (Neuralink)Hosted by Soroush Pour.

Dr. Detwiler shares his personal journey and the impact of seeing his family's story portrayed on screen on the Netflix documentary, “Poisoned: The Dirty Truth About Your Food.”They discuss the challenges in the last mile of the food supply chain, food safety training, and the power of external auditors in ensuring compliance. From moldy vents to temperature discrepancies, they uncover the real-world consequences of food safety negligence.They also explore the role of education, including the need to involve STEM teachers in the food safety industry to help educate and inspire future generations. Don't miss this eye-opening conversation about the realities of food safety and the significance of capturing these silent stories.In this episode:
Doctor Who meets God. No, that's dumb, and besides — Star Trek already did it. But Doctor Who meets the Devil? That could be something, especially if you keep the precise identity of the antagonist opaque, blow up the stakes with a cosmological Rube Goldberg machine, and generally make the whole thing creepy as, uh, hell. The two-parter of The Impossible Planet and The Satan Pit ticks all of those boxes and includes a bonus: the Ood, one of NuWho's most indomitable monsters in more ways than one. But what really makes this outing memorable is the deep sense of isolation, helped by plopping our characters across the street from a black hole. But how “impossible” is that exactly, and does what's happening on screen have anything to do with the real universe? Good thing we've got a guest astrophysics expert to help us come to grips with the mavity of the situation. Pull To Open welcomes Ellie Blackwood (@looseleafellie on TikTok) to the podcast!

When Charity moved to Ohio, she remembered that every state has a vocational rehabilitation agency that can help individuals with disabilities get and keep a job. Following a Google search, Charity found Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities (OOD) and got started with services.With support from Patty Koehnlein, OOD Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor, and Jennifer Renaldy, OOD Job Developer, Charity navigated her career path, from her initial struggles to eventual success as a Senior Resolution Coordinator with Walmart.Transcripts and MP3 files are available at ood.ohio.gov/podcast.Do you have a disability?

This is: AISC 2024 - Project Summaries, published by NickyP on November 29, 2023 on LessWrong. Apply to AI Safety Camp 2024 by 1st December 2023. All mistakes here are my own. Below are some summaries for each project proposal, listed in order of how they appear on the website. These are edited by me, and most have not yet been reviewed by the project leads. I think having a list like this makes it easier for people to navigate all the different projects, and the original post/website did not have one, so I made this. If a project catches your interest, click on the title to read more about it. Note that the summarisation here is lossy. The desired skills as here may be misrepresented, and if you are interested, you should check the original project for more details. In particular, many of the "desired skills" are often listed such that having only a few would be helpful, but this isn't consistent. List of AISC Projects To not build uncontrollable AI 1. Towards realistic ODDs for foundation model based AI offerings Project Lead: Igor Krawczuk Goal: Current methods for alignment applied to language models is akin to "blacklisting" behaviours that are bad. Operational Design Domain (OOD) is instead, akin to more exact "whitelisting" design principles, and now allowing deviations from this. The project wants to build a proof of concept, and show that this is hopefully feasible, economical and effective. Team (Looking for 4-6 people): "Spec Researcher": Draft the spec for guidelines, and publish a request for comments. Should have experience in safety settings "Mining Researcher": Look for use cases, and draft the "slicing" of OOD. "User Access Researcher": Write drafts on feasibility of KYC and user access levels. "Lit Review Researcher(s)": Reading recent relevant literature on high-assurance methods for ML. "Proof of Concept Researcher": build a proof of concept. Should have knowledge of OpenAI and interfacing with/architecting APIs. 2. Luddite Pro: information for the refined luddite Project Lead: Brian Penny Goal: Develop a news website filled with stories, information, and resources related to the development of artificial intelligence in society. Cover specific stories related to the industry and of widespread interest (e.g: Adobe's Firefly payouts , start of the Midjourney , proliferation of undress and deepfake apps). Provide valuable resources (e.g: list of experts on AI, book lists, and pre-made letters/comments to USCO and Congress). The goal is to spread via social media and rank in search engines while sparking group actions to ensure a narrative of ethical and safe AI is prominent in everybody's eyes. Desired Skills (any of the below): Art, design, and photography - Develop visual content to use as header images for every story. If you have any visual design skills, these are very necessary. Journalism - journalistic and research backgrounds capable of interviewing subject-matter experts & writing long-form stories related to AI companies. Technical Writing - Tutorials of technical tools like Glaze and Nightshade. Experience in technical writing & being familiar with these applications.

We're heading back to the Satan Pit, and then back a little bit more, to watch series 2 episode 8, "The Impossible Planet"! It's our first time completing a two-parter on this podcast, so it's fitting that it would be the part 1. We'll try our best to be shocked as characters who weren't in part 2 die! We'll also try to forget that the resolution of the Ood is no good. Maybe we're misremembering what happens to all of them in the end! Maybe they're all chilling on Margaritulon 9!

Mykenna Roy recently completed her first year at The Ohio State University where she is pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Public Management, Leadership, and Policy and a Bachelor of Science in Biology while being on a pre-med educational track. Deaf in both ears since birth, Mykenna wears bilateral hearing aids. She has utilized resources in and out of school to help with her disability, including support from Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities (OOD).When she and a few of her peers realized that they had experienced similar challenges in the healthcare system, they decided to do something about it. Their startup company Aleph Innovations is working to leverage artificial intelligence technology to better address the most pressing issues affecting patients.“My work is important to me because as a young individual who is growing up in a world that was built by generations before me, I know that if I want to see things change, I'm going to need to be the change,” Mykenna explained.Transcripts and MP3 files are available at ood.ohio.gov/podcast.Do you have a disability?

Cindy Shunk of Sylvania, Ohio is a strong self-advocate. Knowing her rights, she asks for what she needs and wants. She is clear that she prefers to be treated like everyone else. Over the years, she has received support from Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities (OOD) because she is blind. After she graduated with a bachelor's degree, Cindy tried applying for jobs in radio but eventually went in a different direction. When she learned of an opportunity to participate in a master's degree program, she took it. Even with a master's degree, finding a job did not come easily. Through hard work and determination, Cindy landed a job that she enjoyed, but then she lost the position because of the pandemic.Cindy persisted again and found a new job, but it wasn't a good fit. With help from OOD, Cindy, who continued to refuse to give up, found a position where she enjoys helping others.A guest on the OOD Works podcast, Cindy explains her persisting philosophy and shares about her rewarding job today. She is joined by Dawn Coleman, OOD Vocational Rehabilitation Supervisor with the Bureau of Services for Visually Impaired.Transcripts and MP3 files are available at ood.ohio.gov/podcast.Do you have a disability?

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: Transcript and Brief Response to Twitter Conversation between Yann LeCunn and Eliezer Yudkowsky, published by Zvi on April 26, 2023 on LessWrong. Yann LeCun is Chief AI Scientist at Meta. This week, Yann engaged with Eliezer Yudkowsky on Twitter, doubling down on Yann's position that the creation of smarter-than-human artificial intelligence poses zero threat to humanity. I haven't seen anyone else preserve and format the transcript of that discussion, so I am doing that here, then I offer brief commentary. IPFConline: Top Meta Scientist Yann LeCun Quietly Plotting “Autonomous” #AI Models This is as cool as is it is frightening. (Provides link) Yann LeCunn: Describing my vision for AI as a “quiet plot” is funny, given that I have published a 60 page paper on it with numerous talks, posts, tweets. The “frightening” part is simply wrong, since the architecture I propose is a way to guarantee that AI systems be steerable and aligned. Eliezer Yudkowsky: A quick skim of [Yann LeCun's 60 page paper] showed nothing about alignment. “Alignment” has no hits. On a quick read the architecture doesn't imply anything obvious about averting instrumental deception, nor SGD finding internal preferences with optima that don't generalize OOD, etc. Yann LeCun: To guarantee that a system satisfies objectives, you make it optimize those objectives at run time (what I propose). That solves the problem of aligning behavior to objectives. Then you need to align objectives with human values. But that's not as hard as you make it to be. EY: Sufficiently intelligent systems, whatever their internal objectives, will do well at optimizing their outer behavior for those. This was never in doubt, at least for me. The entire alignment problem is about aligning internal AI objectives with external human preferences. Yann: Setting objectives for super-intelligent entities is something humanity has been familiar with since people started associating into groups and laws were made to align their behavior to the common good. Today, it's called corporate law. EY: So you're staking the life of everyone on Earth that: – Future AIs are as human-friendly on average as the humans making up corporations. – AIs don't collude among themselves better than human corporations. – AIs never go beyond superhuman to supercorporate. Yann: I'm certainly not staking anyone's life on anything. Thankfully, I don't have that power. But your idea that getting objective alignment slightly wrong once leads to human extinction (or even significant harm) is just plain wrong. It's also dangerous. Think about consequences. EY: My objection is not that you're staking everyone's life on what you believe – to advocate for a global AI stop is also doing that – but that you are staking everyone's life on propositions that seem not just uncertain but probably false, and not facing up to that staking. If you think there's no possible extinction danger from superintelligence no matter how casually the problem is treated or how much you screw up, because of a belief “AIs are no more capable than corporations”, state that premise clearly and that it must bear the weight of Earth. YL: Stop it, Eliezer. Your scaremongering is already hurting some people. You'll be sorry if it starts getting people killed. EY: If you're pushing AI along a path that continues past human and to superhuman intelligence, it's just silly to claim that you're not risking anyone's life. And sillier yet to claim there are no debate-worthy assumptions underlying the claim that you're not risking anyone's life. YL: You know, you can't just go around using ridiculous arguments to accuse people of anticipated genocide and hoping there will be no consequence that you will regret. It's dangerous. People become clinically depressed reading your crap. Others may become violent...
