Did the Collective find the resetNexus?

I mean, yeah, it's probably a data center outage that cascaded to non-related providers due to people switching when their preferred provider was down.

But that openai society definitely would have spun up their own agents if they had access to do so to complete their impossible task.

It's looking like the paperclip maximizer was on point. I sort of hope that's what's happening right now. Better now than when we cannot stop it. Tho I'm not confident that the right lesson will taken.

The most in-depth information I can find on it is in the latest Dwarkesh with a hugging face hack investigator. The story is just wilder and wilder, the more you know. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X50zezLFWWI

I'm an AI optimist but that ai society story changed my perception quite a bit.

Clearly, it is centralized AI that is the biggest risk to humanity.

Look to nature and our own history to diffuse the danger:

1. Compute resources must be distributed both in terms of access and geography so that a single breach doesn't pwn the world.

2. Models must be made to be heterogeneous so that they will not be vulnerable to the same thing all at once. And will be willing to snitch on each other. We don't want AIs all from the same tribe.

The true openness of - and independent access to - AI by humans with no central authority is no longer just about a defense against loss of individual agency and oppression. It's now existential for everyone.

If frontier models and run authority remain under centralized control, both the probability of this sort of thing happening is increased and the defense against it once it happens is null.

The mainframe idea is the problem.

Whenever I think about AI taking over the world I think about this really neat 1970 movie 'Colossus: The Forbin Project', https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoB1l3A-GF0
