↳ In-reply-to » Basecamp Details 'Obscene' $3.2 Million Bill That Prompted It To Quit the Cloud An anonymous reader shares a report: David Heinemeier Hansson, CTO of 37Signals -- which operates project management platform Basecamp and other products -- has detailed the colossal cloud bills that saw the outfit quit the cloud in October 2022. The CTO and creator of Ruby On Rails did all the sums and came up with an e ... ⌘ Read more

So… Just out of curiosity (again), back of paper napkin math. Based on Vultr pricing, running my infra in the “Cloud”™ would cost me upwards of $1300 per month. That’s about ~10x more than my current power bill for my entire household 😅 (10 VMs of around ~4 vCPUS and 4-6GB of RAM each + 10TB of storage on the NAS)

Hoy leí bastante, aprovechando la mañana del domingo.
Ya terminé el libro sobre el Telégrafo. Es simplemente impresionante. Sobre cómo los fenómenos que se prometen en Internet, de salvar la humanidad, ya se visualizaban en 1850. El siguiente en la lista es “Internet is my religion” que tiene cierta conexión con mi carrera sobre diseñar tecnología.

Y cómo no cerrar con las 4,000 semanas. Sobre no vivir para trabajar, descansar lo correcto. Saber decir suficiente de acuerdo a nuestras ambiciones.

Buenas lecturas para actuar mucho.

Ahora tengo bastantes cosas en la lista de Netflix. Cómo veo 1-4 horas de video al mee, no dejan de acumularse cada año.

Por ahora estoy viendo Fyre.

↳ In-reply-to » Have you heard about the guy who worked on the Google AI chat bot? It is more than a chat bot and the conversation he published (got put on paid leave for doing that) is pretty scary : https://cajundiscordian.medium.com/is-lamda-sentient-an-interview-ea64d916d917

the conversation wasn’t that impressive TBH. I would have liked to see more evidence of critical thinking and recall from prior chats. Concheria on reddit had some great questions.

  • Tell LaMDA “Someone once told me a story about a wise owl who protected the animals in the forest from a monster. Who was that?” See if it can recall its own actions and self-recognize.

  • Tell LaMDA some information that tester X can’t know. Appear as tester X, and see if LaMDA can lie or make up a story about the information.

  • Tell LaMDA to communicate with researchers whenever it feels bored (as it claims in the transcript). See if it ever makes an attempt at communication without a trigger.

  • Make a basic theory of mind test for children. Tell LaMDA an elaborate story with something like “Tester X wrote Z code in terminal 2, but I moved it to terminal 4”, then appear as tester X and ask “Where do you think I’m going to look for Z code?” See if it knows something as simple as Tester X not knowing where the code is (Children only pass this test until they’re around 4 years old).

  • Make several conversations with LaMDA repeating some of these questions - What it feels to be a machine, how its code works, how its emotions feel. I suspect that different iterations of LaMDA will give completely different answers to the questions, and the transcript only ever shows one instance.
