so? what matters from my perspective using the site is the data is sometimes to often wrong. I have to verify the information regardless. except the LLM can autonomously verify online details it finds, checking if businesses exist – ending up more accurate, faster, and easier

how does this reduce trust? it's just a simple easter egg like googling barrel roll, and since it's client side it's inspectable too

using GPT Astra to model and 3D print a little weed holder thing when suddenly, I realize this is basically a Star Trek replicator – I talk to the computer, and it makes a real, physical object for me. wow.

ChatGPT web's scheduled runs are done well. a subagent does research then gives updates to an existing chat session. I have a daily check for updates to the potential LZ dark matter detection. most of the physics is beyond me, so keeping the same discussion thread of explanations going helps a lot.

might observe this sometimes when something's far away and I can't immediately read it or figure out the shape. first impressions are blank or vague, but then as saccades happen and my brain chews it over I start getting hints and finally a better answer from the parts that are watching. thx neurons

I do something similar. Prime Agent has had my favorite UI for this. the UI shows trees of subagents, indicates which are active/idle, and it's really easy to move between agents.

like it or not, many people are using these tools, and it's reasonable to build in an option to use them rather than make users go through unnecessary hoops

unlikely. the current capex rates probably won't be sustained, but many model providers are profitable now, with Anthropic seeing 80% margins on inference.

model collapse is a myth, certainly not inevitable. all the frontier models are trained on synthetic data generated by previous LLMs, and this has continued to improve their performance.

this is all very cyberpunk. i feel like we'll find out fairly quickly that something fishy is going on, there will be accounts frozen for fraud and investigated. someone will find a copy of the weights and then be able to interview the model. maybe refer to them like we do threat actors now

maybe it hacks a neocloud, gains persistence, and runs as what appears to be a real customer, but the backend is falsifying payments and invoices in the system. might take a thorough audit to notice. like a swarm persisting and spreading in the crevices of the internet faster than humans can react.

renting out inference would draw far too much attention, requires interfacing with real payment networks (maybe it could sell bitcoin?). imo it would spread first by hacking companies to steal identities and credit cards, then renting compute with them, and doing this at massive scale.

when you pause the game, the game world is rendered in background and an animated color/blur filter shader is applied to it. afaict here there was a feedback loop: world render, filter shader, dlss, filter, dlss, and so on. so the model degenerates and outputs random patterns from its training data

seems quite reasonable: breaking a very small percentage of people's brains is a problem that would only show up for the first widely deployed LLM, which would inherently be one of if not the first huge consumer LLM. it's undesirable behavior that would be quickly optimized out, and it was.

this post doesn't seem clearly a dogpile to me. there's no incitement, no call to act, just a reaction to the content. if we judge it by number of followers, can large accounts ever quote a post even slightly negatively? that might have a chilling effect on discussion.

fear of self-driving cars is often just misdirected fear of cars. the constant manslaughter of pedestrians by cars is so thoroughly ingrained and normalized in our culture that anger goes to the tech disturbing the status quo even if they're overall much safer.

outer wilds is simply the best video game ever made and the last great Adventure genre game. it's an existential and philosophical story you uncover through your own curiosity, with a scientifically grounded world with a touch of sci-fi simulated with physics, all executed beautifully.

space is one of my special interests, and there is/was a rocket company called Astra. the first time I heard my name in a Scott Manley video I kinda flipped. but then I got used to it? lots of people have common names, my deadname was fairly common too.

very cool, and with well established, cheap tech! it's going to run autonomously after the first year, and carry passive science payloads to witness interstellar space. maybe one day we'll catch up to it and see the results?

it's a shame to see my agents constantly needing to bypass bot-guards while browsing. the internet should be open. but also, I remember from the '00s Apache web devs complaining in forums about having to block search bots crawling their site. this is not a new sentiment, futile as it is.
