HOW AUTORESEARCH WILL CHANGE SMALL LANGUAGE MODELS ADOPTION

Autoresearch is a tool that ingests a training script and a metric and then edits code, runs experiments, checks if the metric improved, keeps or discards, and repeats. It allows researchers to optimize models overnight, even without any machine learning experience. Andrej Karpathy used it to squeeze 11% more speed out of his GPT-2 training. Shopify's CEO used the tool to train a 0.8B model overnight that outscored his previous 1.6B model.

THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR IS MAKING A HUGE MISTAKE

Large language models are probably not currently being used in mission-critical ways, but this will change within 20 years, when 99% of the workforce will be AIs. Our future civilization will run on AI labor. We need to think through some extremely important questions about who this future workforce will be accountable and aligned to, and who gets to determine that. The only way to preserve a free society is to make laws and norms saying it is unacceptable for the government to use AI to enforce mass surveillance, censorship, and control. Individual acts of corporate courage will not solve the problem.
