What to think of the Paperclip Maximizer thought experiment 21 years later?I often stumble across YouTube videos or blog posts that talks about the "paperclip-maximizer" thought experiment by Nick Bostrom [1, 2]. Basically, it’s the idea of a superintelligent AI tasked with creating paperclips, which ends up turning the entire universe into paperclips and wiping out humanity in the process. It’s often used to explain how AI could be a threat to humanity, based on the idea that “AIs are goal maximizers” and that hardcoding human values into an AI is really difficult. The concern is that the AI might optimize its goal in a way that’s dangerous for humans in ways we didn’t foresee.This thought experiment felt relevant back when Reinforcement Learning (RL) was seen as the most promising path toward building more powerful AIs. In that paradigm, we could often see RL agents hack their reward functions. For example, if you told an agent to "maximize velocity," it might find some unintended and weird way to do it that we didn’t predict. [3]But now, with LLMs, I feel

Exploring Habit Formation: My Coding Project Turned Startup ExperimentHello HN community!I'm embarking on a project that's part personal challenge, part learning experiment. As someone who has taken up coding in the past couple years and curious about the startup world, I've decided to develop a mobile app focused on helping people maintain daily habits. My primary goal here is to practice and enhance my coding skills (and build something that helps reinforce my habit of coding everyday for a few hours), but as the project evolves, I'm also treating this as learning the ropes of potentially launching a startup.This app aims to address the common struggle of sticking to good habits, something I believe many of us can relate to. I've built a couple of basic apps, but want to go back to the beginning to understand real-world needs and challenges is crucial, and I’d genuinely appreciate your insights. I've created a short survey to gather feedback on habit formation challenges and desired app features. Your input would be incredibly valuable and will directl

Show HN: Experimenting with GPT-3: Building an Investment AnalystWe have been experimenting with using GPT3's reasoning capabilities to build an investment analyst that does this :(1) Summarize relevant news of the last 30 days,(2) Write a SWOT analysis,(3) Identify competitors,(4) Identify Key Risks, and(5) Write three investment theses (bull, neutral, bear)Here is an example how this can look like:https://app.finclout.io/tp/MSFT https://app.finclout.io/tp/LYFT https://app.finclout.io/tp/AAPL https://app.finclout.io/tp/UBERSo far, the results of getting reliable data back through well-engineered prompts through the API is quite promising. Yet, from an operational perspective, the biggest problem is that even though we are not using the free service but pay for it frequently run into rate limits.Positives: For Apple, the News Summary provided a useful result."Apple Inc. is launching Apple Pay Later soon to revolutionize the buy now, pay later (BNPL) industry.
