Steven Adler@sjgadlerOpenAI improved efficiency by ~400x in one year, from $4,500 per problem, now down to about $12. Another year of similar gains would get the cost down to $0.03. Notably, human labor doesn't generally become 400x cheaper in a single year.Opens with a number
Steven Adler@sjgadlerHonestly I'm pretty terrified by the pace of AI development these days. When I think about where I'll raise a future family, or how much to save for retirement, I can't help but wonder: Will humanity even make it to that point?Opens with an observation
Steven Adler@sjgadlerAs for what's next, I'm enjoying a break for a bit, but I'm curious: what do you see as the most important & neglected ideas in AI safety/policy? I'm esp excited re: control methods, scheming detection, and safety cases; feel free to DM if that overlaps your interests.Opens with a question
Steven Adler@sjgadlerI am truly so sick of AI companies reporting scary things their model did, and then commenters replying like 'what a load of baloney, I can't believe you're falling for their marketing hype.' Just so unbelievably exhausting. (This is not about Nathan, to be clear.)Opens with an observation
