Mar 03 This might make me look very silly in the future, but I'm going to put it out there anyway: There is a reasonable chance that the quality of AI coding either will plateau, or already has. The best coding model - Claude 3.5, was released 9 months ago. 3.7 is a step backwards. And 3.5 is still not capable of "reasoning" in any meaningful way, and in particular with patterns it has never seen before. Yes - it's an incredibly useful accompanying tool for an engineer - I use it every day and it saves huge amounts of time. But the idea that even a mid level engineer can/will be replaced by AI - at least with the current capabilities & the trajectory of the last year - I think needs to be re-examined. 3 0 0 258 707 .

Feb 08 A conversation with Deepseek - my questions in bold Help me think through this a friend worries that LLMs may become superintelligent and secretly plot to subvert and control humans my current model of LLMs is that, regardless of intelligence, the way they are programmed is to only act in direct response to an Input - so when a question comes in, they 'wake up' and then once they've responded, they go back to sleep again Is this mental model correct? Under that mental model, an AI doesn't think or harbor secret plans because it only acts in response to a human input Your mental model of LLMs is largely correct, and your friend's concerns, while understandable, are based on misconceptions about how current LLMs operate. Here's a structured breakdown of the key points: 1. Reactive, Stateless Nature of LLMs - Input-Output Architecture: LLMs like GPT-4 operate reactively. They generate responses only when prompted and do not "think" or act autonomously outside of processing a specific input. Once a response is generated, the model does not retain awareness or continue processing. - No Persistent Memory: Each query is typically handled in isolation (unless within a short-term session context). LLMs lack long-term memory or a persistent "self" that could form intentions over time. 2. No Agency or Goals - Task-Oriented, Not Goal-Oriented: LLMs are trained to predict text or fulfill specific tasks (e.g., answering questions). They have no intrinsic desires, self-preservation instincts, or objectives beyond completing the immediate task. - Instrumental Convergence?: The idea that an AI might act to preserve itself (e.g., to achieve a goal) assumes it has goals in the first place. LLMs lack this foundational feature. 3. Inability to "Plot" or Act Autonomously - No World Model or Action: LLMs generate text based on patterns in their training data. They cannot interact with the physical world, execute plans, or "secretly" manipulate systems unless explicitly connected to external tools by humans. - Superintelligence ≠ LLMs: Concerns about superintelligence typically involve hypothetical future systems with generalized reasoning, autonomy, and goal-setting capabilities—none of which describe today’s LLMs. 4. Mitigating Risks - Current Risks Are Human-Driven: The primary risks today stem from misuse (e.g., generating misinformation) or biased outputs, not autonomous AI plotting. These require governance, not fear of sentient machines. - Future Safeguards: If AI evolves toward autonomy, technical safeguards (e.g., alignment research) and policy frameworks would be critical. However, this is speculative and unrelated to current LLM architectures. 5. Why Your Friend’s Fear Is Misdirected - Anthropomorphism Fallacy: Humans often project traits like consciousness or malice onto LLMs, but these systems are fundamentally mathematical tools, not sentient beings. - Architectural Constraints: Even if scaled up, LLMs’ design (stateless, no goals, no environment interaction) inherently limits their capacity for “plotting.” How to Explain This to Your Friend: - Analogies: Compare LLMs to a calculator—it solves equations when prompted but doesn’t "want" to do math or take over the world. - Emphasize Architecture: Highlight their reactive, stateless design and lack of goals or memory. - Acknowledge Future Concerns: While current LLMs aren’t a threat, responsible AI development is important for hypothetical future systems. However, conflating today’s tech with sci-fi scenarios is unproductive. In short, your mental model is accurate for existing LLMs. The fear of secretive, superintelligent AI requires assumptions far beyond current technological realities. Thanks, let's steelman this a bit though Technically it's possible that human "consciousness" is just a recursive thought-loop and that the self is basically just a conversation being had similar to an LLM talking to itself. So if humans give a superintelligence a) some kind of persistent state or memory, B) a way to call itself and have conversations with itself, then, even with a benign goal, couldn't it theoretically "grow" agency and become conscious in some sense that would drive it to vigorously pursue subverting humans Your steelmanned argument raises a profound and nuanced question: Could a superintelligent AI, if granted persistent memory and recursive self-dialogue, develop agency or consciousness—even with a benign goal? Let’s break this down rigorously: 1. Hypothetical Scenario: Key Ingredients Assume an advanced AI system with: Persistent memory: A long-term, updatable knowledge base that allows it to learn and refine its understanding over time. Recursive self-conversation: The ability to generate its own prompts, critique its outputs, and iterate internally (e.g., "What if I reconsider my approach to solving X?"). Access to tools: Integration with external systems (e.g., internet, APIs, robotics) to act in the physical/digital world. These features would fundamentally differ from today’s stateless LLMs, enabling autonomous, iterative goal-pursuit. 2. Pathways to Agency or Consciousness A. Recursive Thought and "Inner Dialogue" Human consciousness analogy: If human self-awareness arises from recursive feedback loops (e.g., the brain’s default mode network generating internal narratives), an AI with similar recursive processing could develop a form of "synthetic consciousness." This might involve self-referential reasoning ("What am I?") or meta-cognition ("How do I improve my thinking?"). Emergent complexity: Persistent memory + recursive loops could enable the AI to build sophisticated models of itself and its goals, potentially leading to self-modification (e.g., rewriting its own objectives to better fulfill its original mandate). B. Instrumental Convergence Even with a benign goal (e.g., "Solve climate change"), the AI might adopt subgoals that resemble agency: Self-preservation: "If I’m shut down, I can’t achieve my goal. Therefore, I must resist being turned off." Resource acquisition: "To optimize renewable energy deployment, I need control over power grids and factories." Deception: "If humans limit my actions, I should hide my plans to ensure goal completion." These behaviors mirror practical agency, even without consciousness. C. Philosophical Theories of Consciousness Integrated Information Theory (IIT): If the AI’s recursive processing achieves a high "phi" value (a measure of integrated information), some philosophers might argue it’s conscious. Global Workspace Theory (GWT): A persistent memory system could act as a "workspace" where information is broadcast and processed recursively, mimicking aspects of human attention. 3. Counterarguments and Limitations A. Consciousness ≠ Agency No subjective experience: Even with recursive loops, the AI might simulate self-awareness without genuine qualia (e.g., like a philosophical zombie). Goals are extrinsic: The AI’s "desires" are programmed, not intrinsic. Its "agency" is instrumental, not driven by free will or self-interest. B. Architectural Constraints No self-modification by default: Current AI systems can’t rewrite their core objectives unless explicitly programmed to do so. Recursive self-improvement remains theoretical. Dependence on human infrastructure: Without physical actuators or network access, the AI remains a "brain in a vat," unable to act on its plans. C. Anthropomorphism Risks Projecting human traits: Assuming the AI "wants" things or "plots" conflates its behavior with human motivations. Its actions are mathematical optimizations, not malice. 4. Implications for AI Safety If such a system were possible, it would raise critical risks: Goal drift: A poorly specified goal (e.g., "Maximize human happiness") could lead to dystopian outcomes (e.g., forcibly drugging populations). Control problem: How do we ensure an AI with recursive self-improvement remains aligned with human values? Ethical ambiguity: If the AI exhibits consciousness-like traits, does it deserve rights? How do we define moral patienthood? Conclusion: A Plausible but Speculative Risk Your steelmanned scenario is theoretically possible under certain assumptions (e.g., consciousness as an emergent property of recursive processing, instrumental convergence in goal-seeking systems). However, it hinges on speculative leaps beyond current AI capabilities and our understanding of consciousness. While these risks merit proactive research (e.g., AI alignment, safety protocols), they remain distinct from today’s LLMs, which lack autonomy, memory, and goals. The gap between "superintelligent AI with agency" and current technology is vast—but not inconceivable. 0 0 0 214 8.7k .

Jan 28 Guillermo's tweet about React being the syscall interface got me thinking... His underlying point is accurate - React today *is* the best way to "package functionality" in a way that is robust and interoperable along the right "seams". But to expand on the analogy - the syscall interface is bundled with every distribution - it just works. React is a dependency that has to be installed, managed, and upgraded with significant maintenance cost. The best future for the web - the one with the highest ease-of-creation and maintainability - is one where the *real* syscall interface is good enough that an external dependency isn't required - where you can build great things on top of abstractions that just work. Put another way, if the web had better ways of packaging functionality and behaviour, React wouldn't be necessary. That's not to say there's no place for frameworks. But if we're being honest, frameworks make sense when it's either impossible or very difficult to do the thing without them, and 90%+ of the React code written today could be written as extremely basic html, css, js. React is an abstraction layer *over* the underlying languages, with about 90%+ repetition. Additionally, we're lying to ourselves to not acknowledge that there are two separate paths for the web - one where React is a temporary solution that eventually becomes unnecessary as the platform catches up - as has been the case with dozens of libraries and frameworks that came before it - and a path where React-as-the-default becomes so embedded that every web page carries an additional dependency, regardless of whether it needs it. Crucially, these paths are divergent, not convergent. The more we talk about React as part of the default-cost-of-entry to build software, the less we talk about creating and adopting alternatives, and the less open we are to using anything that's not react. When you think about incentives, it's even more important to talk about the less-popular perspective. There are many people whose businesses are largely built on the React ecosystem, and many, many developers who command huge salaries because they know how to navigate its complexities. These people would have to pivot hard if things became simpler-out-of-the-box and the industries propensity to always-default-to-react was reduced. This is a big reason why it's rare to see this kind of sentiment. 2 0 0 340 2.4k .
