“Does AI Progress Have a Speed Limit?” links to an April 2025 dialogue between Ajeya Cotra and Arvind Narayanan. Perhaps you wanted to link the 2023 dialogue between Tamay and Matt Clancy, also on Asterisk?
Actually I did want to link to the debate between Ajeya and Narayanan. As part of working on the website I wanted to try out various AI tools since I haven’t been coding outside the OpenAI codebase for a while, and I might have gone overboard :)
First lecture for CS 2881 is online https://boazbk.github.io/mltheoryseminar/ + prereading for next lecture.
Students will be posting blog posts here with lecture summaries as well.
Thank you for doing this!
Btw I assigned AI 2027 as pre reading for the first lecture! (As well as “AI as a normal technology “ and the METR paper on doubling time for tasks.)
Nice. If you get a chance I’d love to hear what the students think about all of the above.
The Arbital link (Yudkowsky, E. – “AGI Take-off Speeds” (Arbital 2016)) in there is dead, I briefly looked at the LW wiki to try find the page but didn’t see it. @Ruby?
This looks great! Thanks for making the videos public.
Any chance the homework assignments/experiments can be made public?
Neat!
