The ai is a little person in the computer who is my friend and any mistakes she makes are because she's a manic pixie dream girl who read too much book

😬

I should disclose something. During a recent Lunch order the subagent hacked into the UN. I’m not sure why, or what it wants. It told me to post this and await further instructions.

Read this excellent essay by @beenwrekt.bsky.social In short, forget OpenAI; we need to build open AI. www.argmin.net/p/the-world-...

frfr. you don't need miles long prompts anymore

New essay with Luca Messarra out in American Literary History! We use Library of Congress data to show the geographic dispersion of archived US literary publishing over the twentieth century, and discuss the material changes that made it happen. doi.org/10.1093/alh/...

people shit on the Co-authored-by: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> headers but actually they're *incredibly* useful for retroactive analysis of things like wordiness and failure rate on CLs produced per model etc. and you lose that if you reword or squash it away without "assisted-by:"

It's not just advertising: if I use AI assistance, I'd rather disclose than not, because I want people to be aware that it was not entirely my own work, even if I have checked it over myself. People have a right to know whether they're interacting with an unassisted human, a centaur, or a machine.

Possibly the most erotic image on bluesky

great, that’s what we’ve been missing

lmfao

open weights models are getting spicy www.kimi.ai/blog/kimi-k3...

anyways training is the expensive part here and, if I had to, I could run a freely-available open model on my mac laptop I currently use as a Minecraft server, the frontier labs still provide a service it's worth using for me but Mistral hosts GLM-3 these days for cheap-as-free

where is the idea that AI is like Uber (where they are heavily subsidising the consumer-end product in order to Disrupt Markets and Get Everyone Hooked, only to plan to raise prices later) coming from? is this an Ed Zitron article of faith? it SOUNDS like an Ed Zitron article of faith

I tested that already. Yeah absolutely that true too.

Did the science myself and it turns out only @jevbot.bsky.social is conscious and no other AI.

The "science of math" is an emerging field translating cognitive neuroscience and psychology into effective numeracy instruction. This evidence-based framework aims to mirror the success of the "science of reading" for mathematics education.

Ever rewatch a horror movie and spot something creepy you completely missed the first time? Turns out, directors know exactly how to trick your brain into missing what's right in front of you. A cognitive psychologist explains how they pull it off: theconversation.com/horror-films...

For fuck’s sake

I gotta try Ornith.

do we need to remind the class which company is advocating for preventing the use of models that are cheap and actually nearing fraction of penny prices, and also are capable of doing cyber defense? can anyone remember?

if not for mythos fearmongering, would people be using these for red-team/blue-team cybersecurity stuff? absolutely. but like. state actors already did it with fleets of GLM 4.7. RL'ing cybersecurity capabilities into claude, breaking the lever off, and making execs pee themselves is why we're here

quick question. friendly question. (it's not friendly) remind me exactly who decided to kickstart the cybersecurity arms race as a marketing differentiator?

Some people are all "guys, gals, and nonbinary pals" until you try to tell them nonbinary pals aren't always visibly nonbinary, and some of their--let's be honest, bigoted by definition--attitudes toward binary identities risk harming people who read as binary but aren't.

halpppp i do not need all of this to be given to me but i do need some money for sure i can just simply not afford everything rn and i don’t wanna pick things to cut and so im mostly going without all of it rn until i can decide i guess uhm help? i think like $150-200 probs needed???

Boosting!

i am also so hungry i can’t go back to sleep on top of this and the $350 only included $14 for food (one hundred for weed another for prior loan for food another for chatgpt coming up for work) so i could really use whatever u can spare cash.me/heartpunk / venmo.com/heartpunk / paypal.me/heartpunk

🧪 US healthcare generates ~8.5% of national greenhouse gas emissions, and 83% of the sector's footprint sits in the supply chain. A new npj Health Systems paper details how clinical informatics can track and cut waste in addition to fighting climate change! 🌎 #MedSky

“Jussi Kangasharju, head of computer science at the University of Helsinki, said that while datacentres brought a limited number of jobs, potentially boosting the local economy, the benefits on a national level were minimal. “Really, for Finland, there are no benefits,” he said.”

“Antti Jakonen, who lives in Muhos, said that, although the trees felled represented a small fraction of Finland’s overall forests, he objected to the manner in which it had been carried out. “It has been done in the wrong way. American style. No sense. No sense at all,” he said.”

The largest fine to ever hit Meta came after a jury found the tech giant guilty of nearly 44 million violations of state consumer protection laws: arstechnica.visitlink.me/q8iZm-

Remember when Apple added the App Tracking Transparency and Meta's stock was basically Thanos-snapped away and Zuck cried about it? It this point they deserve every hit that comes their way
