Long and crazy read. Prepare yourself.

January 16th, 2024 a video surfaced online of a gunman, Jeffrey West, 68, shooting his step-son, Kyle Spitze, 24, with a gun. Subsequently Jeffrey West got into a shootout with the police and dying from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The video was shared online by Kyle Spitze as he recorded the incident from his phone. (Image 1). It is rumored that Jeffrey West threatened to kill Kyle Spitze because he enjoyed cross-dressing.

Fast forward to February 27th: the Tennessee Eastern District Court unsealed documents showing that February 10th the FBI visited Kyle Spitze. They found a large quantity of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) on his personal device. Specifically, Kyle Spitze would perform sextortion on young juvenile women.

The released affidavit is long and censored to protect juveniles identities. The affidavit notes that the FBI CART (Computer Analysis Response Team) was able to successfully locate some of the victims from photograph metadata.

tl;dr crazy internet video accidentally unveils internet predator

The entire document is archived in our crime section on vx-underground as "2024-02-21 - United States v Spitze (Sextortion)"

and compute scaling is, yeah, not gonna slow down in the near future


Dennis is the expert, not me, so I guess I'm wrong, but I thought that given infinite scale you can do anything.
Like, it doesn't matter how fake the LLM is under the hood; with enough data and enough compute, you will eventually have something at least capable of giving birth to your AGI.

That is to say,
even if infinite compute doesn't make AGI, it does male the advances he thinks we need.

Like the xkcd where the guy is computing by moving an infinite number of rocks.

1. Microsoft presents The Era of 1-bit LLMs — “…significantly more cost-effective in terms of latency, memory, throughput, and energy consumption. More profoundly, the 1.58-bit LLM defines a new scaling law and recipe for training new generations of LLMs that are both high-performance and cost-effective. Furthermore, it enables a new computation paradigm and opens the door for designing specific hardware optimized for 1-bit LLMs.” https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.17764 (discussion/skepticism: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/xbuagojQmjucZdWPB/supposing-the-1bit-llm-paper-pans-out)

2. “‘My belief is, to get to AGI, you’re going to need probably several more innovations as well as the maximum scale,’ Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis said. ‘There’s no let up in the scaling, we’re not seeing an asymptote or anything. There are still gains to be made. So my view is you’ve got to push the existing techniques to see how far they go, but you’re not going to get new capabilities like planning or tool use or agent-like behavior just by scaling existing techniques. It’s not magically going to happen.'” https://www.wired.com/story/deepmind-ceo-demis-hassabis-interview-artificial-intelligence-scale/ [no paywall: https://archive.is/G6POi]
