Get an AI researcher as a guest to talk with Neuro (semi-serious stream)

[barren pilot]

One thing I think would be super interesting is inviting an actual AI researcher to join the stream and talk with Neuro. And then afterwards have a discussion with vedal as well. Not to talk about specific models or methods exactly (since that wouldn't be in vedal's best interest), but rather generally about the strengths and weaknesses of this kind of AI and how Neuro demonstrates them. I think it would be super educational but also interesting, and I'm sure there would be plenty of people willing to do it if you tweeted about it.

Honestly this should be absolutely a thrill. Maybe they shouldn't see the code Vedal makes?

to keep them guessing.

[barren pilot]

There should be no need for a researcher to see any code.

And I'm sure vedal can tell them ahead of time that he doesn't want them to say anything about what they think neuro is actually programmed with

[abstract ravine]

i see. sounds good

you got any programmers in mind? like youtubers or such?

maybe like Mutahar iirc, he seems to know digital tech, lmao

or would it be just better to get serious people like professors and such, etc

[barren pilot]

I'd want someone who was less of a programmer and more someone who is thinking about AI and their progress toward AGI or their uses for entertainment/work, etc and how people interact with them (and vica verca). Maybe someone who is interested in the AI safety issue too.

[abstract ravine]

i have nobody in mind sadly, if you ever do find something, then post it. Closest i could imagine is someone working at IT.

[upper ivy]

Maybe someone does not like AI stuff very much

[abstract ravine]

@barren pilot dunno if this is dead but

does this person fit what you want?

[barren pilot]

Oh yeah that's exactly the type of person.

[abstract ravine]

is it fine that you'd try to contact him, or me? but mostly you

[barren pilot]

Seems to be a real researcher into ai and alignment/agi but also not afraid to go on interviews on random YouTube channels

[abstract ravine]

but yeah, i think it is worth seeing what he thinks. i haven't seen anything yet of him talking about actual AI mechanics.

hope i helped. i still think your idea is great and it should be done.

[barren pilot]

I'm curious to know how he would try and interact with neuro

[abstract ravine]

maybe am wrong, but he seems to be the kind of guy who'd talk to it like a person.

let me see if he can be contacted and i'll pass you what i can find.

what you think?

[barren pilot]

I mean it's up to vedal to actually contact them

[trail haven]

I wanna see Rob Miles talk to her

[frosty cove]

Get her on Lex Fridman

[harsh lark]

see David Shapiro, he's a Youtuber so I bet he would be more inclined to creating some collab content, especially that Neuro can be an the first AI influencer but with zero alignment :3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7hJggz41oU

[frozen basalt]

Agree. 💯 👍

[floral gazelle]

So I can see a lot of reasons why this may or may not be feasible at this current time, BUT (and this is a BIG butt) I really think this is a neat idea! On a staff level, I can't really comment too much about this, simply because I don't know enough about it-- but on a personal level-- I think this would be the coolest thing ever.
Thank you so much for sharing this idea, and I'd like to hear more about what you think this would look like!

[frozen basalt]

Is really good ideas

[upper ivy]

if vedal did read this he would react to this message

[frozen basalt]

He certified lvl 5 hacker. So I don't think he don't wan to show his real face around. I guess 🤔.

[abstract ravine]

i hope Vedal sees it
