Theyre helpfully extending and platforming your insightful comments in the quotes bro

Since millenarianism is in the air I think it’s worth the spoiler that it’s always about confusing yourself for the world. Your world is certainly ending, roughly around age 75-85 if you’re lucky.

outcompeting the machines seems like a dead end, but the human world will need humans as long as its around.

Inb4 I have to read galaxy takes on how this is bad or nefarious actually

little textured qualic ripples leaving indentations in the fabric

is that your mereology brother 😂😂😂

I decided to learn the math of the Mandelbrot set and it turns out IT IS NOT EVEN HARD MATH! IT IS SO SIMPLE!! IT IS JUST ITERATING z²+c !!! BROS ARE OUT HERE SEEING SELF-SIMILAR STRUCTURE IN SQUARING A NUMBER AND ADDING A CONSTANT 😭😭😭

I think it was pretty obvious already that nothing important should have Elon Musk as a dependency. If this report is confirmed I hope it hardens that conclusion globally. Scrambling to pour hundreds of millions into lost GOP races and hobble Ukraine against Putin is another great look for the man.

bitter lesson seems palpable in practice, ime. Smaller models that match larger ones on benchmark suites often miss nuance and seem worse at reading intent. Not useless if scoped carefully but feels like steep dropoff outside their RL vs gentler gradients for larger models across more domains.

The subject of LLM consciousness will require interdisciplinary effort, attention and debate between neuroscience, philosophy, and CS/ML, as well as , crucially, overconfident question begging by social media posters.

bdnf up, cortisol down

Sorry to butt in here but it seems you don't understand forklifts at all. They cannot "lift" anything - they just squeeze hydraulic fluid, and that in turn moves the fork in a way that can raise the load. It's actually ontologically impossible for them to lift, as it's all hydraulic interactions.

Some of you have too many bangers. I may be only able to like 90% of them. Have to leave room for nonchalance

With respect to any strange alien qualia regions I have already asserted they dont exist. Should settle that

Adding ‘they dont have any’ to my list of top arguments for definitive absence of llm qualia

now that’s what I call content 🇬🇷

I’m noting a disturbingly steep increase in Claude’s use of British English

If you have 3 million rabid followers with bad opinions and dysregulated emotions you may sic them on this account. I finished work early and am down to fight for next ~6-8 hours

Its interesting that the culture of laying out neatly outlined arguments is only really done for deduction which is a deeply brittle minority of important premises. Imo it works well and better for statistical/inductive arguments

A key problem with “should you just try sticking your head in a woodchipper” as a metaphor for working with an LLM to update your beliefs is that is not at all similar and doesn’t map to it in any useful or helpful way

just like me fr

genuinely beautiful rant

bash sanskrit implies the existence of bash vedas and bash upanishads

buddy they dont even let me live in the tvs

It is in fact possible to be a really smart piece of shit. Being delusional about those people’s capabilities serves no one.
