Millions of images of passports, credit cards, birth certificates, and other documents containing personally identifiable information are likely included in one of the biggest open-source AI training sets, new research has found. Thousands of images—including identifiable faces—were found in a small subset of DataComp CommonPool, a major AI training set for image generation scraped from […]

Bad News When people tell you who they are, believe them (with obvious exceptions). In particular, if they explicitly describe themselves as evil, or demonic, or uses other similar terms, definitely believe

This post is for deconfusing:  Ⅰ. what is meant with AI and evolution. Ⅱ. how evolution actually works.Ⅲ. the stability of AI goals.Ⅳ. the controllability of AI. Along the way, I address some common conceptions of each in the alignment community, as described well but mistakenly by Eliezer Yudkowsky.  Ⅰ. Definitions and distinctions By far the
