set up a course to teach myself about context language models and I think it's making Fable-in-prime-agent horny: "The implementation is almost embarrassingly simple..." Naive impression as I work through this: could the CLM context-as-a-file editing loop be fused into an RLM harness e.g. prime?

If you ever wondered why visible light is those particular wavelengths, it's because life evolved to see in the narrow range where water is transparent

Always eager to hear the organization that forced Galileo to recant and still maintains a hard line against reproductive choice explain their take on the most recent technological advances, because their conclusion on this one issue happens to confirm my own biases

Please stop talking about male and female connectors. A computer cannot have male nor female connectors because gender is more complex than physiology.

I wonder how much of the fear about "rogue AI" has to do with the use of the term "agents"—to laypeople the term connotes "secret agents" or "agents of a foreign power", i.e., entities that deliberately penetrate systems and have the potential to cause harm, rather than "LLMs using tools in a loop"

Also — biologist here — the fact that the brain is derived from >1 set of primordial cells during embryonic development doesn’t make it two organs in a functional sense. This is being grossly misreported
