What's Happening Over The Skies of New Jersey Part II THE CULLING   Strange things are happening in the skies over the Garden State New Jersey. What are they, Where are they coming from and What do they want?   PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- People from all across the Delaware Valley and up into northern New Jersey have reported seeing clusters of drones in the sky over the past several weeks. Numerous reports were sent to Action News about flying objects in Media and Broomall in Delaware County, as well as in Philadelphia's Mayfair section and in Cherry Hill, Camden County. We've been asking local and federal officials if they can offer an explanation. Simply put, so far, the answer is no. We spoke with Maureen Rush who is a 45-year law enforcement veteran and president of the Philadelphia Police Foundation. She says it's important to note that many of the sightings include commercial-grade drones, some as large as small airplanes, not the kinds used by hobbyists. "My other concern is that there are multiple drone sightings. They're almost in a flock. If they were geese, they'd be in a flock, and that's what's really unnerving for people," she said. Over in New Jersey, Governor Phil Murphy has publicly stated that this drone activity does not pose a public safety concern, but he has offered little else regarding an explanation. And State Senator Doug Steinhardt says that's simply not good enough. "I'd be happy with an explanation that we've looked at it, and we don't have information, or for law enforcement to say it's an ongoing something or other, you know, and that's as much as we can tell you, but we're not even getting that which is unfortunate," said Steinhardt. And Steinhardt says he's not just speaking as a lawmaker, he's speaking as a witness. "I walked out of my front porch last night and saw it would look like drone activity to me. I mean, I've seen airplanes cross the sky before and this wasn't that," he says. Steinhardt has since sent letters to fellow lawmakers, including Governor Murphy, requesting they convene a bipartisan panel to discuss the situation. The FBI is involved in the investigation.  

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (12/12/2024): 3:05pm- During a press briefing on Wednesday, Deputy Defense Press Secretary Sabrina Singh denied Rep. Jeff Van Drew's claims that the drones flying over New Jersey are of Iranian origin—or that they are confirmed to be adversarial. Though, she was unable to explain where the drones are from or what purpose they serve. 3:10pm- On Thursday, White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby told the press: “our investigation was unable to corroborate any of the reports about the mysterious drone sightings.” 3:20pm- Time Magazine has picked their “Person of the Year”—Donald Trump. Rich notes that Trump has had the greatest political comeback in American history. 3:30pm- Biden Races To Sell Off Border Wall Parts Before Trump Takes Office. James Lalino of The Daily Wire reports: “The Biden administration is using its final weeks to haul a massive amount of border wall materials away from the southern border to be sold off in a government auction, an apparent effort to hinder President-elect Donald Trump's effort to secure the border.” Some sections of the wall are going for as little as $5.00! Is there anything Congress can do to stop this? You can read the full report here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-biden-races-to-sell-off-border-wall-parts-before-trump-takes-office 3:40pm- State Senator Doug Steinhardt—State Senator for New Jersey's 23rd Legislative District—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to recap a Homeland Security briefing he attended yesterday where federal officials were unable to offer any clarity regarding the mysterious drones flying over New Jersey at night. He also reacts to White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby dismissing the seriousness of the drones. State Sen. Steinhardt explains that, so far, he has witnessed a “weak and feckless response by the Biden Administration.” 4:00pm- Nathan Honeycutt—Research Fellow at Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE)—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss a survey he conducted consisting of “6,269 faculty members at 55 major colleges and universities asking about the state of free speech and self-censorship on their campuses. The results were eye-opening…87% of faculty nationwide reported finding it difficult to have an open and honest conversation on campus about at least one hot button political topic.” 4:30pm- Television Talk: Rich says he just started the Paramount+ series “Landman” starring Billy Bob Thornton. The show was created by Taylor Sheridan—who gave us Yellowstone. Matt says he doesn't care for Yellowstone—infuriating Rich. Plus, is anyone looking forward to the new Superman movie? 4:45pm- On Thursday, White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby told the press: “our investigation was unable to corroborate any of the reports about the mysterious drone sightings.” Listeners react to the claims. 5:00pm- On Thursday, Donald Trump rang the opening bell for the New York Stock Exchange. While speaking with investor Jim Cramer, Trump said he wants to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% for companies that manufacture in America. A recent piece featured in the Wall Street Journal, examines how beneficial a 15% corporate tax rate has been for Ireland—resulting in a massive amount of new tax revenue. 5:10pm- On Thursday, New York City Mayor Eric Adams met with the incoming Trump Administration's Border Czar Tom Homan. 5:15pm- Biden Border Failures: Recent Immigration Surge Has Been Largest in U.S. History. David Leonhardt of The New York Times reports: “The immigration surge of the past few years has been the largest in U.S. history, surpassing the great immigration boom of the late 1800s and early 1900s, according to a New York Times analysis of government data. Annual net migration—the number of people coming to the country minus the number leaving—averaged 2.4 million people from 2021 to 2023, according to the Congressional Budget ...

Zum zweiten Mal ist Felix Steinhardt, Pride Co-Lead bei Accenture, bei uns zu Gast und spricht mit uns über das Thema Belonging. Das Gefühl der Zugehörigkeit ist entscheidend für Motivation, Engagement und Loyalität in Unternehmen. Felix teilt spannende Einblicke und Tipps, wie alle - von der Führung bis zum Teammitglied - aktiv ein Umfeld schaffen können, in dem Belonging gelebt wird. Was ist Belonging? Belonging bedeutet, dass Menschen sich willkommen und akzeptiert fühlen. Besonders in vielfältigen Teams ist es eine Herausforderung, ein Zugehörigkeitsgefühl zu fördern. Felix Empfehlungen für mehr Belonging: 1. Belonging aktiv gestalten Belonging bedeutet, nicht nur Teil einer Gruppe zu sein, sondern diese aktiv mitzugestalten. Felix hat das bei Accenture durch sein Engagement für Pride erreicht. 2. Offene Kommunikation fördern Essenzielle Themen sollten regelmäßig angesprochen werden. Nur so kann Veränderung stattfinden. Ehrliches Feedback schafft Bewusstsein und Lösungen. 3. Anonyme Feedbackkanäle schaffen Ein „Kummerkasten“ hilft Mitarbeitenden, ihre Anliegen sicher zu äußern und trägt zur offenen Kommunikation bei. 4. Gezielte Wertschätzung zeigen Teams mit regelmäßiger Wertschätzung binden Mitarbeitende stärker, das zeigen auch Studien. Felix empfiehlt konkretes Lob – für besondere Leistungen, die wirklich geschätzt werden. 5. Offenheit für neue Ideen Offenheit für andere Sichtweisen fördert Belonging. Neues zuzulassen und gemeinsam zu entdecken stärkt das Zusammengehörigkeitsgefühl. 6. Eigeninitiative fördern Belonging lebt davon, dass jeder aktiv zum Gemeinschaftsgefühl beiträgt und sich einbringt. 7. Persönliche Anerkennung Echte, persönliche Wertschätzung zeigt Mitarbeitenden, dass sie gesehen werden – kleine Gesten machen oft den Unterschied. Zusammengefasst: Belonging entsteht durch echte Verbundenheit, Offenheit und aktives Engagement – von jedem Einzelnen im Team und von der Führung. Felix' Tipps geben uns eine Roadmap, wie wir dieses Gefühl der Zugehörigkeit fördern können, damit Menschen nicht nur bleiben, sondern gerne Teil der Gemeinschaft sind. Wer uns dieses Jahr noch live sehen möchte, hat noch eine Chance: Am 21.11.2024 sind wir bei SCHWADKE BÜROEINRICHTUNGEN in Rosenheim (powered by VITRA). Wir freuen uns über jeden Kommentar, jede Idee, jede Frage und natürlich auch über 5-Sterne-Bewertungen. Vielen Dank für die vielen Bewertungen auf Spotify und Apple Podcast!

The sonically innovative harpist, Brandee Younger, is revolutionizing harp for the digital era. Over the past fifteen years, she has worked relentlessly to stretch boundaries and limitations for harpists.  In 2022, she made history by becoming the first Black woman to be nominated for a Grammy® Award for Best Instrumental Composition. That same year, she was also nominated for an NAACP Image Award and later, the winner of the 2024 NAACP Image Award in the category of Outstanding Jazz Album for her latest album Brand New Life.  Ever-expanding as an artist, she has worked with cultural icons including Common, Lauryn Hill, John Legend, Pharoah Sanders and Christian McBride.   Her original composition “Hortense” was featured in the Netflix Concert-Documentary, Beyoncé: Homecoming and in 2019, Brandee was selected to perform her original music as a featured performer for Quincy Jones and Steve McQueens' “Soundtrack of America”.  Brandee is often noted for standing on the shoulders of the very women who ushered in the harp as a clear and distinct voice in jazz & popular styles - particularly Detroit natives Dorothy Ashby & Alice Coltrane.  Her new album, Brand New Life, builds on her already rich oeuvre, and cements the harp's place in pop culture.  As the title of the album suggests, Brand New Life is about forging new paths–artistic, personal, political, and spiritual.  Younger's music is imbued with a sense of purpose and respect of legacy, creating a larger platform for the harp to reach newer and wider audiences than ever before.  In addition to teaching at Steinhardt, Younger holds leadership positions as a board member of The Coltrane Home and New Music USA.Maggie speaks with Brandee at the 67 Monterey Jazz Festival about her band and her association with Alice Coltrane and  The Year of Alice.“No harpist thus far has been more capable of combining all of the modern harp traditions — from Salzedo, through Dorothy Ashby, through Alice Coltrane — with such strength, grace and commitment.” -  The New York TimesFollow: @harpistaSource: https://brandeeyounger.com/Source:https://steinhardt.nyu.edu/people/brandee-youngerSource: https://thecoltranehome.org/2024/03/16/let-the-year-of-alice-begin/Host Maggie LePique, a radio veteran since the 1980's at NPR in Kansas City Mo.

Endlich ist es soweit. Unser erster Gast, angekündigt seit 24 Folgen. Danke, lieber Felix Steinhardt, für dein Vertrauen. Was auf den ersten oberflächlichen Blick verwundern mag: “Drei weiße, privilegierte deutsche Männer reden über Diversity und Inklusion” ... ergibt auf den zweiten Blick hoffentlich Sinn. Felix ist hauptberuflich Digital Business Manager bei Accenture Song, dem Unternehmen, für das auch Oskar seit vielen Jahren arbeitet. Ehrenamtlich und zusätzlich ist er innerhalb der DEI Aktivitäten von Accenture der (CO-)PRIDE Lead bei Accenture in Deutschland. In seinem LinkedIn-Profil findet sich dieser Teil seiner Arbeit unter Ehrenamt, das gefällt uns! Nach der kurzen Boomer-Perspektive, zu der Oskar seinen Vater Michael einlädt, führt uns Felix in das Thema ein. Wir sprechen über die Bandbreite, die Bedeutung, die (auch wirtschaftlichen) Chancen, die das Thema mit sich bringt und welche Rolle es bei Accenture spielt. Ausgehend von der Pride-Initiative bei Accenture streifen wir viele weitere Diversity-Felder (z.B. Women in Leadership, unterschiedliche kulturelle Hintergründe, Behinderung und Neurodiversity). Wir sprechen über die Herausforderungen, die Wünsche der Beteiligten und die besondere Bedeutung von positiven Geschichten. Die wichtigsten Erkenntnisse? 1. Raum geben! Schafft eine Kultur, in der Menschen offen sprechen und ihre Meinung äußern können. Gebt Raum dafür. Schafft Gemeinschaftsabende, schafft Lunch Sessions, bei denen man neben dem Geschäftlichen auch über Persönliches sprechen kann. 2. Ermutigt Menschen! Da sind Menschen, die sich engagieren wollen. Schaut, wer bereit ist, Zeit zu investieren. aber verlangt nichts. Gebt den Menschen Freiräume. Wenn sie Zeit haben, machen sie mehr, wenn nicht, machen sie weniger. Sucht Vorbilder und gebt ihnen Raum. 3. Schafft Ressourcen! Sie sind wichtig, damit Menschen Dinge umsetzen können. Felix hört oft: “Wir wollen eine Pride Community aufbauen, aber wir haben kein Geld”. Schafft kleine Budgets (schon 200 - 300 EUR können ein Anfang sein). 4. Vernetzen! Ja, auch mit Wettbewerbern. Schaut sie euch an. Lasst uns gemeinsam an der Arbeitskultur arbeiten. 5. Erzählt Geschichten! Positive Geschichten, aber auch schwierige. Geschichten verstehen die Menschen am besten. Wir alle können und müssen uns für diese Themen einsetzen, auch wenn wir nicht direkt betroffen sind. Oskar und Michael wünschen sich eine Fortsetzung. Felix sagt ja, was sagt ihr, liebe Zuhörerinnen und Zuhörer von “Zoomer meets Boomer”? Nächste Woche kommt unsere erste Live-Folge, die wir auf der NEXT Conference aufnehmen werden! Wer uns live sehen und hören möchte, hat hier die Chance: NEXT Conference: 19.9.2024, Hamburg AI Impact Days: 15.10.2024, Berlin Orgatec: 23.10.2024, Köln VITRA | SCHWADKE BÜROEINRICHTUNGEN, 21.11.2024, Rosenheim Wir freuen uns über jeden Kommentar, jede Ideen oder Frage, und ja auch über 5-Sternebewertungen.

In this week's conversation between Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye, they began a discussion about jobs and work but on a deeper level, delving into the ideas of calling and vocation. The effects of the pandemic can be seen in so many spheres of life, particularly through the lens of the American workforce. What seems to be missing is an understanding of the biblical view of work - something seldom taught in churches today. Episode Links Simone Stolzoff recently wrote an article in The Atlantic titled, “The Moral Case for Working Less.” The subheading to her article says: “We shouldn't work less simply because it allows us to be better workers. We should work less because it allows us to be better humans.” The younger generations seem to really resonate with these sentiments as they strive to have more of a work-life balance. The truth is, many people are already working less than they did prior to the pandemic. You can read more about this in an article by S.J. Steinhardt titled, “Report: Many Factors Contribute to Americans Working Fewer Hours Than They Did Pre-Pandemic.” Finally, as you heard mentioned in today's discussion, the ideas of vocation and calling are not often talked about in the life of the church, yet they are so important. There are two series that Dr. White gave at Mecklenburg Community Church that you may be interested in checking out: “Living On Purpose” and “Becoming a Difference Maker.” For those of you who are new to Church & Culture, we'd love to invite you to subscribe (for free of course) to the twice-weekly Church & Culture blog and check out the Daily Headline News - a collection of headlines from around the globe each weekday. We'd also love to hear from you if there is a topic that you'd like to see discussed on the Church & Culture Podcast in an upcoming episode.

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: Jailbreak steering generalization, published by Sarah Ball on June 20, 2024 on The AI Alignment Forum. This work was performed as part of SPAR We use activation steering (Turner et al., 2023; Rimsky et al., 2023) to investigate whether different types of jailbreaks operate via similar internal mechanisms. We find preliminary evidence that they may. Our analysis includes a wide range of jailbreaks such as harmful prompts developed in Wei et al. 2024, the universal jailbreak in Zou et al. (2023b), and the payload split jailbreak in Kang et al. (2023). For all our experiments we use the Vicuna 13B v1.5 model. In a first step, we produce jailbreak vectors for each jailbreak type by contrasting the internal activations of jailbreak and non-jailbreak versions of the same request (Rimsky et al., 2023; Zou et al., 2023a). Interestingly, we find that steering with mean-difference jailbreak vectors from one cluster of jailbreaks helps to prevent jailbreaks from different clusters. This holds true for a wide range of jailbreak types. The jailbreak vectors themselves also cluster according to semantic categories such as persona modulation, fictional settings and style manipulation. In a second step, we look at the evolution of a harmfulness-related direction over the context (found via contrasting harmful and harmless prompts) and find that when jailbreaks are included, this feature is suppressed at the end of the instruction in harmful prompts. This provides some evidence for the fact that jailbreaks suppress the model's perception of request harmfulness. Effective jailbreaks usually decrease the amount of the harmfulness feature present more. However, we also observe one jailbreak ("wikipedia with title"[1]), which is an effective jailbreak although it does not suppress the harmfulness feature as much as the other effective jailbreak types. Furthermore, the jailbreak steering vector based on this jailbreak is overall less successful in reducing the attack success rate of other types. This observation indicates that harmfulness suppression might not be the only mechanism at play as suggested by Wei et al. (2024) and Zou et al. (2023a).

This work was performed as part of SPAR We use activation steering (Turner et al., 2023; Rimsky et al., 2023) to investigate whether different types of jailbreaks operate via similar internal mechanisms. We find preliminary evidence that they may. Our analysis includes a wide range of jailbreaks such as harmful prompts developed in Wei et al. 2024, the universal jailbreak in Zou et al. (2023b), and the payload split jailbreak in Kang et al. (2023). For all our experiments we use the Vicuna 13B v1.5 model. In a first step, we produce jailbreak vectors for each jailbreak type by contrasting the internal activations of jailbreak and non-jailbreak versions of the same request (Rimsky et al., 2023; Zou et al., 2023a). Interestingly, we find that steering with mean-difference jailbreak vectors from one cluster of jailbreaks helps to prevent jailbreaks from different clusters. This holds true for a wide range of jailbreak types. The jailbreak vectors themselves also cluster according to semantic categories such as persona modulation, fictional settings and style manipulation. In a second step, we look at the evolution of a harmfulness-related direction over the context (found via contrasting harmful and harmless prompts) and find that when jailbreaks are included, this feature is suppressed at the end of the instruction in harmful prompts. This provides some evidence for the fact that jailbreaks suppress the model's perception of request harmfulness. Effective jailbreaks usually decrease the amount of the harmfulness feature present more. However, we also observe one jailbreak ("wikipedia with title"[1]), which is an effective jailbreak although it does not suppress the harmfulness feature as much as the other effective jailbreak types. Furthermore, the jailbreak steering vector based on this jailbreak is overall less successful in reducing the attack success rate of other types. This observation indicates that harmfulness suppression might not be the only mechanism at play as suggested by Wei et al. (2024) and Zou et al. (2023a).

On this week's Talkhouse Podcast, we've got a rare trio episode for you, since two of our guests created something very cool together: Jo Firestone, Marissa Paternoster, and Joe Steinhardt. I'll start with Jo Firestone, the actor, writer, comedian, podcaster, game inventor, and probably some other stuff that I'm forgetting, who you may have seen on the show Joe Pera Talks With You or, like a million other things. She's done stand-up specials and albums, she's written for The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, and she hosts the game-centric podcast Dr. Gameshow. Firestone is currently the head writer on After Midnight, the comedy/game show hybrid that airs late every night on CBS. In other words, she's busy. But not too busy to chat with her friends Marissa Paternoster and Joe Steinhardt about their new graphic novel, Merriment. You may recognize Paternoster are the singer and guitarist for the amazing, recently broken up band Screaming Females, and Talkhouse readers and listeners may even recognize her illustrations, which have appeared on the site over the years. Paternoster continues to make music, but the focus of this chat is Merriment, her first graphic novel. Paternoster put her eerie, singular images to a story by her old friend Joe Steinhardt, head of the long-running independent label Don Giovanni Records, which has been home to a number of incredible bands over the past two decades, including Screaming Females. These three have a fun, loose chat about Merriment, which in case I didn't say it yet, you should definitely check out, as well as Steinhardt's not-so-secret desires to be a comedian, Paternoster's can't-fail movie idea, how Firestone was once tasked with selling St. Louis pizza with a New York attitude, and a game I'd never heard of called “Somebody Pooped in the Salad.” Enjoy. Thanks for listening to the Talkhouse Podcast, and thanks to Jo Firestone, Marissa Paternoster, and Joe Steinhardt for chatting.

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: The Rationale-Shaped Hole At The Heart Of Forecasting, published by dschwarz on April 2, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Thanks to Eli Lifland, Molly Hickman, Değer Turan, and Evan Miyazono for reviewing drafts of this post. The opinions expressed here are my own. Summary: Forecasters produce reasons and models that are often more valuable than the final forecasts Most of this value is being lost due to the historical practice & incentives of forecasting, and the difficulty of crowds to "adversarially collaborate" FutureSearch is a forecasting system with legible reasons and models at its core (examples at the end) The Curious Case of the Missing Reasoning Ben Landau-Taylor of Bismarck Analysis wrote a piece on March 6 called " Probability Is Not A Substitute For Reasoning", citing a piece where he writes: There has been a great deal of research on what criteria must be met for forecasting aggregations to be useful, and as Karger, Atanasov, and Tetlock argue, predictions of events such as the arrival of AGI are a very long way from fulfilling them. Last summer, Tyler Cowen wrote on AGI ruin forecasts: Publish, publish, not on blogs, not long stacked arguments or six hour podcasts or tweet storms, no, rather peer review, peer review, peer review, and yes with models too... if you wish to convince your audience of one of the most radical conclusions of all time…well, more is needed than just a lot of vertically stacked arguments. Widely divergent views and forecasts on AGI persist, leading to FRI's excellent adversarial collaboration on forecasting AI risk this month. Reading it, I saw… a lot of vertically stacked arguments. There have been other big advances in judgmental forecasting recently, on non-AGI AI, Covid19 origins and scientific progress. How well justified are the forecasts? Feb 28: Steinhardt's lab's impressive paper on "Approaching Human-Level Forecasting with Language Models" ( press). The pipeline rephrases the question, lists arguments, ranks them, adjusts for biases, and then guesses the forecast. They note "The model can potentially generate weak arguments", and the appendix shows some good ones (decision trees) and some bad ones. March 11: Good Judgment's 50-superforecast analysis of Covid-19 origins ( substack). Reports that the forecasters used base rates, scientific evidence, geopolitical context, and views from intelligence communities, but not what these were. (Conversely, the RootClaim debate gives so much info that even Scott Alexander's summary is a dozen pages.) 10 of the 50 superforecasters ended with a dissenting belief. March 18: Metaculus and Federation of American Scientists' pilot of forecasting expected value of scientific projects. "[T]he research proposals lacked details about their research plans, what methods and experimental protocols would be used, and what preliminary research the author(s) had done so far. This hindered their ability to properly assess the technical feasibility of the proposals and their probability of success." March 20: DeepMind's "Evaluating Frontier Models for Dangerous Capabilities", featuring Swift Centre forecasts ( X). Reports forecaster themes: "Across all hypotheticals, there was substantial disagreement between individual forecasters." Lists a few cruxes but doesn't provide any complete arguments or models. In these cases and the FRI collaboration, the forecasts are from top practitioners with great track records of accuracy (or "approaching" this, in the case of AI crowds). The questions are of the utmost importance. Yet what can we learn from these? Dylan Matthews wrote last month in Vox about "the tight connection between forecasting and building a model of the world." Where is this model of the world? FRI's adversarial collaboration did the best here. They list several "cruxes", and measu...

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (03/26/2024): 3:05pm- At 1:30am on Tuesday, a shipping vessel lost power causing it to collide with the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland—causing the bridge to collapse. Governor Wes Moore said the preliminary investigation “points to an accident” and that he hadn't seen any “credible evidence of a terrorist attack.” Speaking from the White House Tuesday afternoon, President Joe Biden echoed similar statements and vowed that the federal government “will pay for the entire cost of reconstructing the bridge.” 3:30pm- Speaking from Oakland, California, Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that his running mate will be Nicole Shanahan, a patent attorney who was once married to Google co-founder Sergey Brin. 3:40pm- Robert Bork Jr.—President of the Antitrust Education Project & President of the Bork Communication Group—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the U.S. Justice Department filing an antitrust lawsuit against Apple, alleging that the Palo Alto-based tech company uses its smart-phone dominance to harm rival companies and its own customers. During a press briefing announcing the suit, Attorney General Merrick Garland ridiculously explained: “As any iPhone user who has ever seen a green text message or received a tiny, grainy video can attest, Apple's anti-competitive conduct also includes making it more difficult for iPhone users to message with users of non-Apple products. It does this by diminishing the functionality of its own messaging app and by diminishing the functionality of third party messaging apps. By doing so, Apple knowingly, and deliberately, degrades quality, privacy, and security for its users."

Kennedy Jr.'s presidential running mate, Silicon Valley attorney Nicole Shanahan explained: “There is only one moment in time and one candidate that I would step into this capacity for. That time is now. And that candidate is Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.” 4:45pm- Now that both Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (Nicole Shanahan) and Joe Biden (Kamala Harris) have women as their running mates, does that mean Donald Trump should select a woman to be his potential Vice President as well? Will voters punish him if he doesn't? Listeners weigh-in. 5:05pm- James Lynch of National Review writes: “Former president Donald Trump's wealth is soaring to new heights ahead of the Wall Street debut of his social-media venture. Trump's net worth spiked to an estimated $6.4 billion the day before Trump Media & Technology Group is set to debut on the Nasdaq stock exchange under the ‘DJT' stock ticker, according to Bloomberg. An SEC filing disclosed on Monday indicates TMTG will replace Digital World Acquisition Corp. on the Nasdaq after the two entities completed a $300 million merger. Digital World is a SPAC corporation, a public company designed to acquire or merge with another company.

Trump's criminal trials imposed a gag order on Tuesday that prohibits him from attacking witnesses, prosecutors and jurors, the latest effort to rein in the former president's wrathful rhetoric about his legal opponents. The judge, Juan M. Merchan, imposed the order at the request of the Manhattan district attorney's office, which brought the case against Mr. Trump. The district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg, has accused Mr. Trump of covering up a potential sex scandal during and after his 2016 campaign.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/26/nyregion/trump-trial-gag-order.html 6:10pm- At 1:30am on Tuesday, a shipping vessel lost power causing it to collide with the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland—causing the bridge to collapse.

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: What will GPT-2030 look like?, published by Jacob Steinhardt on June 7, 2023 on The AI Alignment Forum. GPT-4 surprised many people with its abilities at coding, creative brainstorming, letter-writing, and other skills. Surprises in machine learning are not restricted to GPT-4: I was previously surprised by Minerva's mathematical abilities, as were many competitive forecasters. How can we be less surprised by developments in machine learning? Our brains often implicitly make a zeroth-order forecast: looking at the current state of the art, and adding on improvements that “feel reasonable”. But what “seems reasonable” is prone to cognitive bias, and will underestimate progress in a fast-moving field like ML. A more effective approach is first-order forecasting: quantifying the historical rate of progress and extrapolating it forward, while also considering reasons for possible slowdowns or speedups. In this post, I'll use this approach to forecast the properties of large pretrained ML systems in 2030. I'll refer throughout to “GPT2030”, a hypothetical system that has the capabilities, computational resources, and inference speed that we'd project for large language models in 2030 (but which was likely trained on other modalities as well, such as images). To forecast GPT2030's properties, I consulted a variety of sources, including empirical scaling laws, projections of future compute and data availability, velocity of improvement on specific benchmarks, empirical inference speed of current systems, and possible future improvements in parallelism. GPT2030's capabilities turn out to be surprising (to me at least). In particular, GPT2030 will enjoy a number of significant advantages over current systems, as well as (in at least some important respects) current human workers: GPT2030 will likely be superhuman at various specific tasks, including coding, hacking, and math, and potentially protein engineering (Section 1). GPT2030 can “work” and “think” quickly: I estimate it will be 5x as fast as humans as measured by words processed per minute [range: 0.5x-20x], and that this could be increased to 125x by paying 5x more per FLOP (Section 2). GPT2030 can be copied arbitrarily and run in parallel. The organization that trains GPT2030 would have enough compute to run many parallel copies: I estimate enough to perform 1.8 million years of work when adjusted to human working speeds [range: 0.4M-10M years] (Section 3). Given the 5x speed-up in the previous point, this work could be done in 2.4 months. GPT2030's copies can share knowledge due to having identical model weights, allowing for rapid parallel learning: I estimate 2,500 human-equivalent years of learning in 1 day (Section 4). GPT2030 will be trained on additional modalities beyond text and images, possibly including counterintuitive modalities such as molecular structures, network traffic, low-level machine code, astronomical images, and brain scans. It may therefore possess a strong intuitive grasp of domains where we have limited experience, including forming concepts that we do not have (Section 5). These capabilities would, at minimum, accelerate many areas of research while also creating serious vectors for misuse (Section 6). Regarding misuse, GPT2030's programming abilities, parallelization, and speed would make it a potent cyberoffensive threat. Additionally, its rapid parallel learning could be turned towards human behavior and thus used to manipulate and misinform with the benefit of thousands of "years" of practice. On acceleration, a main bottleneck will be autonomy. In a domain like mathematics research where work can be checked automatically, I'd predict that GPT2030 will outcompete most professional mathematicians. In machine learning, I'd predict that GPT2030 will independently execute experiments and g...

Milton Berg, CFA (@BergMilton), the CEO and Director of Research of MB Advisors, joined Julia La Roche on episode 57 for a deep dive into his technical analysis, which was taped on February 16. YouTube video: https://youtu.be/x7ms5ildUCQ Berg focuses on "Turning Point Analysis,” where he looks for turning point ends of trends. For example, he called the market bottom on June 16. On the day this episode was recorded (February 16, 2023), Berg explained why February 2 may have marked an important turning point in the markets, suggesting a probable end to that uptrend and a correction at least for the short term. Berg also shared that his firm is 100% short, going from leveraged long, to just 100% long to flat, and now 100% short. Milton has been in the financial services industry since 1978, with an extensive background in various roles on the buy side. Milton founded MB Advisors in 2012 to address a need for high-quality independent research with a macro, technical and historical focus. Milton began his career as a Commodities Analyst and Trader at Swiss-based Erlanger and Company. In 1980, he was a Fund Manager at First Investors Corp. and managed a natural resource fund as well as an option writing fund. In 1984, he moved to Oppenheimer and managed three mutual funds, which were each ranked as the top performer over a five-year period by Lipper. Milton then became a Partner at Steinhardt, one of the earliest hedge funds on Wall Street. More recently, he has worked with well-known titans of the hedge fund world, including Michael Steinhardt, George Soros, and Stanley Druckenmiller (Duquesne). Milton's work has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Barron's, and Institutional Investor, in addition to other media outlets.

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: EIS IV: A Spotlight on Feature Attribution/Saliency, published by Stephen Casper on February 15, 2023 on The AI Alignment Forum. Part 4 of 12 in the Engineer's Interpretability Sequence. Thanks to Tony Wang for a helpful comment. If you want to become more familiar with feature attribution/saliency, a tutorial on them that may offer useful background is Nielsen et al. (2021). Given a model and an input for it, the goal of feature attribution/saliency methods is to identify what features in the input are influential for the model's decision. The literature on these methods is large and active with many hundreds of papers. In fact, in some circles, the word “interpretability” and especially the word “explainability” are more or less synonymous with feature attribution (some examples are discussed below). But despite the size of this literature, there are some troubles with the research on these methods that are fairly illustrative of broader ones with interpretability overall. Hence this post. There are some analogous ones in AI safety work that will be discussed more in the next two posts in the sequence. Troubles with evaluation and performance Some examples and troubles with the evaluation of feature attributions were already touched on in EIS III which discussed Pan et al. (2021) and Ismail et al. (2021). The claim from Pan et al. (2021) that their method is “obviously better” than alternatives exemplifies how these methods are sometimes simply declared successful after inspection from researchers. And Ismail et al. (2021) demonstrates a form of weak evaluation with a measure that may be quantitative but is not of direct interest to an engineer. In response to this literature, several works have emerged to highlight difficulties with feature attribution/saliency methods. Here is a short reading list :) A Benchmark for Interpretability Methods in Deep Neural Networks (Hooker et al., 2018) Sanity Checks for Saliency Maps (Adebayo et al., 2018) Evaluating Explainable AI: Which Algorithmic Explanations Help Users Predict Model Behavior? (Hase and Bansal, 2020) Debugging Tests for Model Explanations (Adebayo et al., 2020) Auditing Visualizations: Transparency Methods Struggle to Detect Anomalous Behavior (Denain and Steinhardt, 2022) Towards Benchmarking Explainable Artificial Intelligence Methods (Holmberg, 2022) Benchmarking Interpretability Tools for Deep Neural Networks (Casper et al., 2023) When they are evaluated, these tools often aren't very useful and do not pass simple sanity checks. Consider an illustration of this problem: From Adebayo et al. (2018) These visualizations suggest that some of these tools do not reliably highlight features that seem important in images at all, and the ones that do often highlight them do not appear to be obviously better than an edge detector. This sanity check suggests limitations with how well these methods can reveal anything novel to humans at all, let alone how useful they can be in tasks of practical interest. For the papers that have gone further and studied whether these methods can help predict how the network will respond to certain inputs, it seems that some attribution/saliency methods usually fail while others only occasionally succeed (Hase and Bansal, 2020; Adebayo et al., 2020; Denain and Steinhardt, 2022). EIS III discussed how in a newly arXived work, coauthors and I benchmarked feature synthesis tools (Casper et al., 2023). In addition, we use a related approach to evaluate how helpful feature attribution/saliency methods can be for pointing out spurious features that the network has learned. This method was based on seeing how well a method can attribute a trojaned network's decision to the trojan trigger in an image. From Casper et al. (2023) Shown at the top of the figure above are examples of trojaned ima...

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: Future Matters #4: AI timelines, AGI risk, and existential risk from climate change, published by Pablo on August 8, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. But if it is held that each generation can by its own deliberate acts determine for good or evil the destinies of the race, then our duties towards others reach out through time as well as through space, and our contemporaries are only a negligible fraction of the “neighbours” to whom we owe obligations. The ethical end may still be formulated, with the Utilitarians, as the greatest happiness of the greatest number [...] This extension of the moral code, if it is not yet conspicuous in treatises on Ethics, has in late years been obtaining recognition in practice. John Bagnell Bury Future Matters is a newsletter about longtermism. Each month we collect and summarize longtermism-relevant research, share news from the longtermism community, and feature a conversation with a prominent researcher. You can also subscribe on Substack, listen on your favorite podcast platform and follow on Twitter. Research Jacob Steinhardt's AI forecasting: one year in reports and discusses the results of a forecasting contest on AI progress that the author launched a year ago. Steinhardt's main finding is that progress on all three capability benchmarks occurred much faster than the forecasters predicted. Moreover, although the forecasters performed poorly, they would—in Steinhardt's estimate—probably have outperformed the median AI researcher. That is, the forecasters in the tournament appear to have had more aggressive forecasts than the experts did, yet their forecasts turned out to be insufficiently, rather than excessively, aggressive. The contest is still ongoing; you can participate here. Tom Davidson's Social returns to productivity growth estimates the long-run welfare benefits of increasing productivity via R&D funding to determine whether it might be competitive with other global health and wellbeing interventions, such as cash transfers or malaria nets. Davidson's toy model suggests that average returns to R&D are roughly 20 times lower than Open Philanthropy's minimum bar for funding in this space. He emphasizes that only very tentative conclusions should be drawn from this work, given substantial limitations to his modelling. Miles Brundage discusses Why AGI timeline research/discourse might be overrated. He suggests that more work on the issue has diminishing returns, and is unlikely to narrow our uncertainty or persuade many more relevant actors that AGI could arrive soon. Moreover, Brundage is somewhat skeptical of the value of timelines information for decision-making by important actors. In the comments, Adam Gleave reports finding such information useful for prioritizing within technical AI safety research, and Carl Shulman points to numerous large philanthropic decisions whose cost-benefit depends heavily on AI timelines. In Two-year update on my personal AI timelines, Ajeya Cotra outlines how her forecasts for transformative AI (TAI) have changed since 2020. Her timelines have gotten considerably shorter: she now puts ~35% probability density on TAI by 2036 (vs. 15% previously) and her median TAI date is now 2040 (vs. 2050). One of the drivers of this update is a somewhat lowered threshold for TAI. While Cotra was previously imagining that a TAI model would have to be able to automate most of scientific research, she now believes that AI systems able to automate most of AI/ML research specifically would be sufficient to set off an explosive feedback loop of accelerating capabilities. Back in 2016, Katja Grace and collaborators ran a survey of machine learning researchers, the main results of which were published the following year. Grace's What do ML researchers think about AI in 2022? reports on the preliminary re...

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: [Linkpost] Solving Quantitative Reasoning Problems with Language Models, published by Yitz on June 30, 2022 on LessWrong. A new paper from Google, in which they get a language model to solve some (of what to me reads as terrifyingly impressive) tasks which require quantitative reasoning skills. The abstract reads as follows: Language models have achieved remarkable performance on a wide range of tasks that require natural language understanding. Nevertheless, state-of-the-art models have generally struggled with tasks that require quantitative reasoning, such as solving mathematics, science, and engineering problems at the college level. To help close this gap, we introduce Minerva , a large language model pretrained on general natural language data and further trained on technical content. The model achieves state-of-the-art performance on technical benchmarks without the use of external tools. We also evaluate our model on over two hundred undergraduate-level problems in physics, biology, chemistry, economics, and other sciences that require quantitative reasoning, and find that the model can correctly answer nearly a third of them. Some of the results are quite relevant to forecasting AI progress. From @bneyshabur: Recently @JacobSteinhardt (whose group created MATH dataset) published the result of a project where commissioned professional forecasters predicted (at 2021) that 15% acc on MATH will be achieved in 2022 and 50% would be achieved by 2025. ....Steinhardt wrote: "If I imagine an ML system getting more than half of these questions right, I would be pretty impressed.” indeed gets more than half the MATH dataset questions right Some further information (excerpted from across the paper): Minerva is based on the PaLM general language models that are further trained on... the arXiv preprint server and from web pages that we carefully process to minimise the loss of mathematical content. The main novelty of this paper is a large training dataset that juxtaposes natural language with the correct use of formal mathematical language, such as equations and diagrams. ...We evaluated Minerva 62B on the National Math Exam in Poland and found that it achieves a score of 57%, which happened to be the national average in 2021 (CKE, 2021, p. 23). The 540B model achieves 65%. the prevailing errors of the 8B model were related to incorrect reasoning or calculations. Many of the calculation errors were relatively benign arithmetic mistakes. Solutions that were too short were relatively rare (in these cases, the model immediately produces an incorrect answer without any intermediate reasoning steps). Finally, in a few cases, the model hallucinates an equation or mathematical fact that is not real. When examining model solutions, we find that memorization of intermediate facts, such as numerical values of square roots or trigonometric identities, are crucial elements of model solutions. Truly strong performance would combine recall of intermediate facts with genuine solution synthesis...Overall, we find little evidence that the model's performance can be attributed to memorization. Limitations: First, we have no automatic way of verifying the correctness of the model's answers. This is in contrast to formal approaches, for which automatic verification is intrinsic. Second, our model has no access to external tools such as a calculator or a Python interpreter. [!!!] It is therefore limited in its ability to perform quantitative reasoning tasks that require complicated numerical calculations. ...The model's performance is still well below human performance, and furthermore, we do not have an automatic way of verifying the correctness of its outputs. If these issues could be solved, we expect the impacts of this model to be broadly positive. A direct application could be an acces...

With Katie on a parental leave, Steve speaks with Herrick Feinstein's Victor Rocco about his firm's representation of the Republic of Turkey in litigation brought by Turkey to possess a millennia-old Anatolian marble statue (the Stargazer) owned by Michael Steinhardt and sold by him through Christie's. (We previously had counsel for Christie's and Steinhardt on the podcast.)  After a trial in the Southern District of New York, Turkey lost for the primary reason that they could not provide facts supporting their claim to ownership of the Stargazer, specifically that it was stolen from modern day Turkey after 1906. Turkey has appealed that decision, and Victor and Steve discuss the trial and Turkey's arguments on appeal.
