And how would one go about procuring such a rock? Asking for a friend.
pi-rogers on Please stop publishing ideas/insights/research about AIOh no I mean they have the private key stored on the client side and decrypt it there.
Ideally all of this is behind a nice UI, like Signal.
elizabeth-1 on How would you navigate a severe financial emergency with no help or resources?https://www.modestneeds.org/ will give one time cash infusions to people with capital intensive problems (like moving costs, or keeping a vehicle). I haven't looked into them in a while; a few years ago there was a requirement that the cash infusion would get recipients on a stable track, I think that might be looser now.
pi-rogers on Please stop publishing ideas/insights/research about AII mean, Signal messenger has worked pretty well in my experience.
mako-yass on Please stop publishing ideas/insights/research about AII don't think e2e encryption is warranted here for the first iteration. Generally, keypair management is too hard, today, everyone I know who used encrypted Element chat has lost their keys lmao. (I endorse element chat, but I don't endorse making every channel you use encrypted, you will lose your logs!), and keypairs alone are a terrible way of doing secure identity. Keys can be lost or stolen, and though that doesn't happen every day, the probability is always too high to build anything serious on top of them. I'm waiting for a secure identity system with key rotation and some form of account recovery process (which can be an institutional service or a "social recovery" thing) before building anything important on top of e2e encryption.
mako-yass on Please stop publishing ideas/insights/research about AIThen, users can put in their own private key to see a post
This was probably a typo but just in case: you should never send a private key off your device. The public key is the part that you send.
faul_sname on Why I'm not doing PauseAII like to think that I'm a fairly smart human, and I have no idea how I would bring about the end of humanity if I so desired.
"Drop a sufficiently large rock on the Earth" is always a classic.
mako-yass on Please stop publishing ideas/insights/research about AISo I wrote a feature recommendation: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/55rc6LJcqRmyaEr9T/please-stop-publishing-ideas-insights-research-about-ai?commentId=6fxN9KPeQgxZY235M
mako-yass on Please stop publishing ideas/insights/research about AIOn infrastructures for private sharing:
Feature recommendation: Marked Posts (name intentionally bland. Any variant of "private" (ie, secret, sensitive, classified) would attract attention and partially negate the point)
This feature prevents leaks, without sacrificing openness.
A marked post will only be seen by members in good standing. They'll be able to see the title and abstract in their feed, but before they're able to read it, they have to click "I declare that I'm going to read this", and then they'll leave a read receipt (or a "mark") visible to the post creator, admins, other members in good standing. (these would also just serve a useful social function of giving us more mutual knowledge of who knows what, while making it easier to coordinate to make sure every post gets read by people who'd understand it and be able to pass it along to interested parties.)
If a member "reads" an abnormally high number of these posts, the system detects that, and they may have their ability to read more posts frozen. Admins, and members who've read many of the same posts, are notified, and you can investigate. If other members find that this person actually is reading this many posts, that they seem to truly understand the content, they can be given an expanded reading rate. Members in good standing should be happy to help with this, if that person is a leaker, well that's serious, if they're not a leaker, what you're doing in the interrogation setting is essentially you're just getting to know a new entrant to the community who reads and understands a lot, talking about the theory with them, and that a happy thing to do.
Members in good standing must be endorsed by another member in good standing before they will be able to see Marked posts. The endorsements are also tracked. If someone issues too many endorsements too quickly (or the people downstream of their endorsements are collectively doing so in a short time window), this sends an alert. The exact detection algorithm here is something I have funding to develop so if you want to do this, tell me and I can expedite that project.
kave on Transformers Represent Belief State Geometry in their Residual StreamThis is a straightforward consequence of the good regulator theorem
IIUC, the good regulator theorem doesn't say anything about how the model of the system should be represented in the activations of the residual stream. I think the potentially surprising part is that the model is recoverable with a linear probe.
