How much representational diversity exists around a trained network? A lot, it turns out! Moving a ViT’s weights by 1.3% while preserving its predictions, its representations end up less similar to the original than a random-init ViT’s ‼️ New paper: Hessian Null Space Continuation (HNC) 💫🧵 (1/12)

meta go a head and @ me any time ha ha always there for you yano hatch-preview.dev

For example. "[...] unless you are a user with lots of direct domain knowledge about a language packaging ecosystem who is reading the entire raw message log as it happens, muse will aggressively download random shit from the internet and execute it." (from @jo.nny.rip)

So uhhhhhh… Apparently meta's muse "AI" is just straight up doxxing people to strangers on FB marketplace??? This has the potential to hurt so so many people, and I genuinely wonder how long before they roll out a fix for it.

🎉 Acorn is officially open. You can now create a space for your community on the open social web - no wait required. acorn.blacksky.community

New preprint: Whole-body 3D kinematics of freely behaving 𝐷𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑜𝑝ℎ𝑖𝑙𝑎 New tech from @blobology.bsky.social & others at @hhmijanelia.bsky.social, which @ispizua.bsky.social and @elliottabe.bsky.social used to gain insight into 3D structure of locomotion & courtship www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Blacksky was one of the 1st PDSs to allow open sign ups We are also now the largest PDS deployment that doesn't run any of bsky's code Sorry for the turbulence. It was the one-time price to pay for being able to build features like private accounts or sign-in via phone number w/o waiting on Bluesky

Wireless power, wireless data, a tool for moving beyond open topped boxes with dangling wires towards naturalistic imaging!!!!

Miniscope Zero, the first fully wireless Miniscope, is on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social! Wireless power + data enable neural recordings in enclosed mazes, 3D environments & from two animals at once! @miniscope.bsky.social Paper: doi.org/10.64898/202... Wiki: miniscope.org/wiki/Minisco...

for two months, I've been flying drones over Flock cameras to situation them in space and geography; I even got my commercial drone license in order to do it. I'd like to share this project with you all: it's called Records Of Enemy Surveillance: recordsofenemysurveillance.com

My company, Million Concepts, wrote and maintains the software that makes the decorrelation stretch (DCS) images from the Mars rover cameras, like the one in the article. It's open source and anybody can use it. On anything. It doesn't have to be space pictures!

These are *surveillance companies*

“In addition to monitoring activists in the vicinity of Anthropic executives and keeping tabs on protests near physical Anthropic assets, the firm is also implementing a ‘pre-crime’ approach… In some cases, that also means reporting suspects to police before a crime occurs.” @drboguslaw.bsky.social:

I do not believe that these guys are about to summon a world-ending superconsciousness from Nvidia graphics cards. But they either believe they can or want me to believe they believe they can. So I think "fuck them" is the only rational response

The reason the AI companies don't show "reasoning" output is that it looks like what it is: rehearsing an entire universe out loud until a gut wrenching leap back into guess and check

it's crazy how it reads everything it encounters on the internet as a message from the sim designers

So awesome how the way to make more money than god right now is to tee up one billion monkeys at typewriters and tell them to hack and then pretend to be shocked when something happens

I guess once you understand that internally they keep pointing it at the open internet and shooting it's easier to see why they think it's going to kill everyone

It appears to me that the scenario they invented for this evaluation is explicitly designed to get it to do exactly this. They remove the instructions for the task to "protect the vendor" or something but it's pretty easy to reconstruct from the text.

"Being gullible is a choice" has the same energy as @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social saying "not being a mark is praxis"
