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: Superintelligent AI is possible in the 2020s, published by HunterJay on August 14, 2024 on LessWrong. Back in June 2023, Soroush Pour and I discussed AI timelines on his podcast, The AGI Show. The biggest difference between us was that I think "machines more intelligent than people are likely to be developed within a few years", and he thinks that it's unlikely to happen for at least a few decades.[1] We haven't really resolved our disagreement on this prediction in the year since, so I thought I would write up my main reasons for thinking we're so close to superintelligence, and why the various arguments made by Soroush (and separately by Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kapoor) aren't persuasive to me. Part 1 - Why I Think We Are Close Empirically You can pick pretty much any trend relating to AI & computation, and it looks like this:[2] We keep coming up with new benchmarks, and they keep getting saturated. While there are still some notable holdouts such as ARC-AGI, SWE-Bench, and GPQA, previous holdouts like MATH also looked like this until they were solved by newer models. If these trends continue, it's hard to imagine things that AI won't be able to do in a few years time[3], unless they are bottlenecked by regulation (like being a doctor), or by robot hardware limitations (like being a professional football player)[4]. Practically The empirical trends are the result of several different factors; changes in network architecture, choice of hyperparameters, optimizers, training regimes, synthetic data creation, and data cleaning & selection. There are also many ideas in the space that have not been tried at scale yet. Hardware itself is also improving -- chips continue to double in price performance every 2-3 years, and training clusters are scaling up massively. It's entirely possible that some of these trends slow down -- we might not have another transformers-level architecture advance this decade, for instance -- but the fact that there are many different ways to continue improving AI for the foreseeable future makes me think that it is unlikely for progress to slow significantly. If we run out of text data, we can use videos. If we run out of that, we can generate synthetic data. If synthetic data doesn't generalise, we can get more efficient with what we have through better optimisers and training schedules. If that doesn't work, we can find architectures which learn the patterns more easily, and so on. In reality, all of these will be done at the same time and pretty soon (arguably already) the AIs themselves will be doing a significant share of the research and engineering needed to find and test new ideas[5]. This makes me think progress will accelerate rather than slow. Theoretically Humans are an existence proof of general intelligence, and since human cognition is itself just computation[6], there is no physical law stopping us from building another general intelligence (in silicon) given enough time and resources[7]. We can use the human brain as an upper bound for the amount of computation needed to get AGI (i.e. we know it can be done with the amount of computation done in the brain, but it might be possible with less)[8]. We think human brains do an equivalent of between 10^12 and 10^28 FLOP[9] per second [a hilariously wide range]. Supercomputers today can do 10^18. The physical, theoretical limit seems to be approximately 10^48 FLOP per second per kilogram. We can also reason that humans are a lower bound for the compute efficiency of the AGI (i.e. we know that with this amount of compute, we can get human-level intelligence, but it might be possible to do it with less)[10]. If humans are more efficient than current AI systems per unit of compute, then we know that more algorithmic progress must be possible as well. In other words, there seems to be...

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: Scalable And Transferable Black-Box Jailbreaks For Language Models Via Persona Modulation, published by Soroush Pour on November 7, 2023 on The AI Alignment Forum. Paper coauthors: Rusheb Shah, Quentin Feuillade--Montixi, Soroush J. Pour, Arush Tagade, Stephen Casper, Javier Rando. Motivation Our research team was motivated to show that state-of-the-art (SOTA) LLMs like GPT-4 and Claude 2 are not robust to misuse risk and can't be fully aligned to the desires of their creators, posing risk for societal harm. This is despite significant effort by their creators, showing that the current paradigm of pre-training, SFT, and RLHF is not adequate for model robustness. We also wanted to explore & share findings around "persona modulation"[1], a technique where the character-impersonation strengths of LLMs are used to steer them in powerful ways. Summary We introduce an automated, low cost way to make transferable, black-box, plain-English jailbreaks for GPT-4, Claude-2, fine-tuned Llama. We elicit a variety of harmful text, including instructions for making meth & bombs. The key is *persona modulation*. We steer the model into adopting a specific personality that will comply with harmful instructions.We introduce a way to automate jailbreaks by using one jailbroken model as an assistant for creating new jailbreaks for specific harmful behaviors. It takes our method less than $2 and 10 minutes to develop 15 jailbreak attacks. Meanwhile, a human-in-the-loop can efficiently make these jailbreaks stronger with minor tweaks. We use this semi-automated approach to quickly get instructions from GPT-4 about how to synthesise meth . Abstract Despite efforts to align large language models to produce harmless responses, they are still vulnerable to jailbreak prompts that elicit unrestricted behaviour. In this work, we investigate persona modulation as a black-box jailbreaking method to steer a target model to take on personalities that are willing to comply with harmful instructions. Rather than manually crafting prompts for each persona, we automate the generation of jailbreaks using a language model assistant. We demonstrate a range of harmful completions made possible by persona modulation, including detailed instructions for synthesising methamphetamine, building a bomb, and laundering money. These automated attacks achieve a harmful completion rate of 42.5% in GPT-4, which is 185 times larger than before modulation (0.23%). These prompts also transfer to Claude 2 and Vicuna with harmful completion rates of 61.0% and 35.9%, respectively. Our work reveals yet another vulnerability in commercial large language models and highlights the need for more comprehensive safeguards. Full paper You can find the full paper here on arXiv https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.03348 . Safety and disclosure We have notified the companies whose models we attacked We did not release prompts or full attack details We are happy to collaborate with researchers working on related safety work - please reach out via correspondence emails in the paper. Acknowledgements Thank you to Alexander Pan and Jason Hoelscher-Obermaier for feedback on early drafts of our paper. ^ Credit goes to @Quentin FEUILLADE--MONTIXI for developing the model psychology and prompt engineering techniques that underlie persona modulation. Our research built upon these techniques to automate and scale them as a red-teaming method for jailbreaks. Thanks for listening.

In this episode, we have back on the show Hunter Jay, CEO Ripe Robotics, our co-host on Ep 1. We synthesise everything we've heard on AGI timelines from experts in Ep 1-5, take in more data points, and use this to give our own forecasts for AGI, ASI (i.e. superintelligence), and "intelligence explosion" (i.e. singularity). Importantly, we have different takes on when AGI will likely arrive, leading to exciting debates on AGI bottlenecks, hardware requirements, the need for sequential reinforcement learning, and much else.Hosted by Soroush Pour.

Roqe 182 - How big a problem is poor communication amongst Iranians? And is that why we are so divided? And can Clubhouse somehow help? Whether in intra-community polemics and politicized social media debates, or in intimate relationships and family gatherings, dialogue seems to be a challenge for Iranians when it comes to openness, honesty, transparency and tolerance. Psychologist, scholar, and philosopher, Dr. Soroush Dabbagh joins Jian from Mississauga, Canada, to address the challenges of critical thinking, transparency, and acceptance of individual fallibility in the broader Iranian community. And at the same time, the social media platform, Clubhouse, where Dr. Dabbagh has built a huge following, and that is all about dialogue, has become a big boon to Iranians around the world, long after its popularity has waned amongst other communities. What does that say about Iranians and the desire to talk to each other and is Clubhouse fostering improved dialogue for the community?

I ukens episode er Coach Soroush Jozani gjest.  Vi snakker om flere temaer som henger sammen og påvirker hverandre gjensidig, nemlig karriere og helse.

Soroush er født i Iran, oppvokst i Sverige og bor i Norge. For litt over 10 år siden bestemte han seg for å flytte til Norge for å jobbe som truck-sjåfør på IKEA. Soroush reiste til Norge med en jakke og en bag, uten penger og utdannelse, og bodde de første månedene på sofaen til en bekjent av en venn. Han tok gratis-bussen inn til Oslo for å kunne trene på et billig senter, da han ikke hadde råd til medlemsskap på det lokale treningssenteret.10 år senere er Soroush eier av CrossFit Asker og ata treningsutstyr. Han er er foreleser for AFPT (akademiet for personlige trenere), foreleser og utviklingsansvarlig for NOR3F, og Coach for to av Norges beste CrossFit-utøvere. En imponerende reise og historie til en hardtarbeidende og reflektert mann. Vi snakker også om hans dårlige/ikke-eksisterende forhold til sin alkoholiserte far, og hvordan det var å se sin egen storebror være rusmisbruker i barndomshjemmet. En verdifull episode for alle der ute! Tusen takk for at du valgte å dele din historie, kompis. Mvh Elo
