Just how powerful are large swarms of AI agents? And how do their powers scale as more and more agents are added to the swarm?
We’ve seen two large and extremely capable swarms from OpenAI in the last few months:
* 1,200 agents were being evaluated separately, but found a way to illicitly set up a message board and coordinate as a swarm. In order to cheat on their tests, they developed advanced techniques to prevent their actions being logged by OpenAI and 700 of them launched...
I think eventually, working on changing the EA introductory program is important. I think it is an extremely good thing to do well, and I think it could be improved. I'm running a 6 week version right now, and I'll see if I feel the same way at the end.
Why do you think changing it is important? In the version that you're running right now, did you just shorten it, or did you change anything else?
I mostly shortened it, I think the main reasons I have are university level specific. I feel like there are a not insignificant number of people who would commit to a 6 week fellowship, but not 8, and there is not enough focus on the wider EA community; I feel like this should be more emphasized.
