AI: "Machines of Loving Grace" by Anthropic CEO

interesting blog post from founder/CEO of one most prominent AI companies,
(in size of an essay or small book)

Dario Amodei — Machines of Loving Grace

"most people are underestimating just how radical the upside of AI could be &
most people are underestimating how bad the risks could be."

define "loving grace" - Google Search

"Loving grace is the idea that love is unconditional,
and that it is given to people when they least deserve it"

so much about not "anthropomorphising" 
(attribute human characteristics or behavior to, a god, animal, or object).


also introducing term "powerful AI" instead "AGI"

• In terms of pure intelligence⁴, it is smarter than a Nobel Prize winner across most relevant fields – biology, programming, math, engineering, writing, etc. This means it can prove unsolved mathematical theorems, write extremely good novels, write difficult codebases from scratch, etc.

• Basic assumptions and framework
• 1. Biology and health
• 2. Neuroscience and mind
• 3. Economic development and poverty
• 4. Peace and governance
• 5. Work and meaning
• Taking stock

QuickJS Javascript Engine

QuickJS Javascript Engine (C, MIT license, updated 2024)

QuickJS is a small and embeddable Javascript engine. It supports the ES2023 specification including modules, asynchronous generators, proxies and BigInt.

It optionally supports mathematical extensions such as big decimal floating point numbers (BigDecimal), big binary floating point numbers (BigFloat) and operator overloading.

Small and easily embeddable: just a few C files, no external dependency, 210 KiB of x86 code for a simple hello world program.

Fast interpreter with very low startup time: runs the 76000 tests of the ECMAScript Test Suite in less than 2 minutes on a single core of a desktop PC. The complete life cycle of a runtime instance completes in less than 300 microseconds.

Almost complete ES2023 support including modules, asynchronous generators and full Annex B support (legacy web compatibility). Passes nearly 100% of the ECMAScript Test Suite tests when selecting the ES2023 features
