Unfortunately there are a few things that make courts pretty tricky to implement in practice for things like the rationality, AI safety and EA communities. Badly implemented courts also can just make things worse by creating a clear target for attack and pressure. Seems very tricky, but probably we should have more courts (or maybe not, I would need to write the post to figure it out).

yesss yesss lesswrong people's tribunals and struggle sessions let's gooooooooo

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa i hit cancel insteaad of reply and my post got eaten sorry i'll just listpost now then

What’s a movie that’s terrible in an interesting way that could teach aspiring filmmakers something about the craft beyond just “don’t do that”?

• Dünyayı Kurtaran Adam ("Turkish Star Wars") it's great it's fun it's inventive it does sampling
• After Last Season ; it's weird and sedate and bare and hypnotic and cool

they're legitimately great movies if you're into the possibilities of cinema imo but if you want well regarded movies that do similar things go with:

• Céline et Julie vont en bateau – Phantom Ladies over Paris
• Věra Chytilová's Daisies (Sedmikrásky)

they're all very fun and very free in form

also Céline & Julie would make a great muppet film i'm sure

jesus fucking christ this is insufferable, these guys have been masking off for so long now that they're scraping the bottom of the barrel to find new things to do fascist signalling about

I’ve done crowdsourced work qualifying bits of random work e-mails (had to determine “is this a query” if I recall correctly), and yeah this was like more than a dozen years ago.

The ends justify the means but the means are genocide and slavery and the ends are a society with none of those pesky labour rights built on a bedrock of white supremacy. Where’s the dilemma?

It's just a tool, like cars! My definition of tools is things that are being forced on us even though they're terrible for the environment and make everyone's life worse!

cool graph what's the x axis

What I find delightful about this is that I already wasn't impressed! Because, as the paper goes on to say

Moreover, although the UBE is a closed-book exam for humans, GPT-4’s huge training corpus largely distilled in its parameters means that it can effectively take the UBE “open-book”

And here I was thinking it not getting a perfect score on multiple-choice questions was already damning. But apparently it doesn't even get a particularly good score!

From Re-evaluating GPT-4’s bar exam performance (linked in the article):

First, although GPT-4’s UBE score nears the 90th percentile when examining approximate conversions from February administrations of the Illinois Bar Exam, these estimates are heavily skewed towards repeat test-takers who failed the July administration and score significantly lower than the general test-taking population.

Ohhh, that is sneaky!

I love the way these idiots keep incrementing the number on their ChatGPT fantasy as if it's a sufficient image of the future and it's going to get everyone on board. Complete failure of imagination, don't try to picture any actual use for it or anything, just make it... more.

Oh well done, you added noise to a line going up!
