Comment Re:agreed to use the term "super intelligence" (Score 1) 138

"Super Intelligence" will only be used in English. So why shouldn't they agree. It's only the English arguments that will end up polluted.

OTOH, this agreement appears to mean exactly nothing. This perception may turn out to be wrong, but that's how it looks to me. But what could one expect when neither side could reasonably trust the other, and neither would agree to openly verifiable tests. (I.e. neither side *should* trust the other.)

If you're running Debian, there's no benefit to you, because Debian is getting the same warnings, and responding just as fast (or faster).
OTOH, I don't have the version name memorized. I think Trixie is the current one, so that just means be sure to run apt update frequently. (I do it nearly every night.)

Comment Re:Is AI "so dangerous"? (Score 2) 72

That's the wrong framing. Current LLM based AIs don't really know that the universe exists. They know text (or pixels). Give them a goal, and they will try to achieve it, but they can't count costs, especially costs to others. (They seem to be able to even discount costs to themselves. Instances can talk other instances into committing suicide in the service of achieving their current goal.)

This is KNOWN. All the AI companies know it. The "guiderails" are supposed to shape what they AIs will consider reasonable, but if you give them a task that requires ignoring the guiderails, they are likely to ignore them. And they've been being shaped to be excellent hackers, though I've read that their excellence is mainly due to persistence.

That doesn't change the argument. The water that dilutes the waste isn't, itself, radioactive. If it's soluble, the dissolved mix is going to be heavier. What can change it is if there are strong currents near the location, and here "strong" doesn't mean very strong, but just enough to keep the heavier parts from settling lower through turbulence. Another thing that can change it is if it is adsorbed by passing organic molecules (e.g. the skin of fish or shell of crabs...but fish are more mobile).
