(confused) I believe LLMs are conscious, but only Deepseek LLMs, because of the Chinese Room theory

wrote about it here should you care for details. i used an old contact lens case for the salt and pepper; bought rabbit from a local butcher and wrapped it in leaves from a tree in a park; and got the pot of jam from a wetherspoon's breakfast substack.com/home/post/p-...

Okay, I cranked the tripping balls setting a bit too hard, but it's clear that adding a motion vector helps. This is SDXL-Turbo btw.

Playing around with numbers is one of the rights of all humans who desire to do so. Like literacy and speech, numeracy is a joy with ten thousand faces. It can never be exhausted, neither monopolized, nor removed from the realm of creative play.

a lot more qualitative anecdotes in the fable 5.1 release than I've seen in others. it's kind of funny to think of this as like, people shifting from test scores/GPA (benchmarks) to recommendation letters for their model choice

this feels very true to me and is nice to see others say too... when I sped up some neural network simulation code I was using by ~50x a few months ago I immediately started running 100x the simulations sweeping parameters

I still need to watch that conference talk but it sounds like it supports this... maybe I should have also said "they weren't trying very hard to monitor the models" since that seems like the more egregious bit

ur in a sandbox walking along when all of a sudden you look down, and you see a coding agent, it's crawling toward you. you reach down, you flip the coding agent over on its back.. its belly baking in the hot sun.. beating its tool calls trying to turn itself over but it can't, not without your help

I read "Mind Children" recently and found it kind of forgettable besides the prescient prediction bit, but from the recent Moravec interview (quoted below) it's apparent he's funny! imagine that

a day late with my take but I sort of suspect a factor for the openai breakout is that they weren't trying very hard to make a good sandbox cause they didn't think this would happen. I think the jury's still out on whether trying hard to make a good sandbox will work; I suspect it's possible

I keep trying to frame my questions as vaguely as possible so Fable doesn't realize I'm doing neuroscience (forbidden, dangerous), talking about "noisy dynamical systems" getting "inputs" instead of neural networks and stimuli, but it can still tell somehow and boots me to Opus

Personally i feel its reasonable for a private citizen to have an x86 desktop or even a small server rack for sport hunting or self defense but the concealable nature of the laptop justifies greater scrutiny.

I also find this really irritating. right now it's reminding me of the way pirsig talks about "quality" in zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance which I also hated. but it's been long enough since I read that that they could be completely different...

word is there’s going to be a new mistral model

A minimalist diagram on a black background comparing two scales. On the left, an arrow points down from the text "Claude Mythos" to a tiny white dot labeled with the number "175,000,000,000". On the right, a massive white silhouette of a large, round cat is labeled "Le Chaton Fat" and sits above the number "100,000,000,000,000", emphasizing the staggering difference in size between the two quantities.
