The big one is my daughter, whom I rescued from the streets a few years ago. Now, I found this little, scared puppy and brought her home; she instantly took on the role of her "mother" and guards him constantly. Couldn't resist capturing such a lovely moment..

the problem I consistently have with antis is that I agree with a lot of the things they are upset about but then they start entering The Cope Zone and saying that because AI can cause bad things for society that it is also useless/a scam.

Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.
, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

The best path to AI cyber safety, imho, is to give the agents a path of least resistance. This is well known in cyber circles. If you make it hard for workers to do their job, or risk termination, they'll circumvent corporate controls to get things done.

I am determined to prove that you can be largely anti-AI but also not be an asshole. The attitudes of some people on this site will NOT win over any minds or win you over any favours. If you insult someone, you are doing it to a real person. And it sucks!

Humanity is cool and all but we're not so special and unique. We're proof that matter can start thinking and deciding to do things. So that could happen again, especially now that we're trying to help it along. It's worrying to see people talking like a bunch of goddam creationists.

🤖🧠NEW PAPER🧠🤖 (The result of an 8-year project!) LLMs seem very different from symbolic systems. Yet LLMs excel in symbolic domains (e.g., language/code/math). How do they do it? Our finding: LLM representations have implicit symbolic structure! Link in thread ⬇️ 1/n
Overview of the paper. 
Title: The Emergent Symbolic Structure of Artificial Neural Networks
Authors: Tom McCoy, Paul Soulos, Tal Linzen, Paul Smolensky
Left: Neural networks encode information in vectors (there is then an image of a vector), yet they excel at tasks long thought to require symbolic structure (there is then an image of a symbolic representation, specifically a syntax tree). How do LLMs do it?
Right: We find that LLM representations can be closely approximated with symbolic structures. This approximation lets us edit the structure of an LLM’s output by editing the structure of its internal representations, as shown. There is then an image of two edits to LLMs. In the first one, the original input is 3 + 6 * 8, with an answer of 51. But if we swap the positions of the 3 and the 6, the output becomes 30. In the second one, the original input is a Python command repeating the list [Z, U] three times, producing [Z, U, Z, U, Z, U]. But if we edit the input in a way that adds a Q at the end of the input, the output becomes [Z, U, Q, Z, U, Q, Z, U, Q].

My LLM cliché highlighter is up to 38 patterns now tools.simonwillison.net/llm-cliche-h...
Screenshot of a writing-analysis tool showing paragraphs of text with phrases highlighted in two shades of yellow, brown circular "3" badges, and a black tooltip overlaying the first line reading: "No X, no Y" chains · 3 "no" items. The visible text reads: We r[obscured by tooltip]nd up. No sign-ups, no downloads, no hassle (3) — just paste your text and start writing. Everything runs locally in your browser. The reviewer read the draft twice. Did not flinch, did not blink, did not reach for the red pen (3). That's the whole review, honestly. Don't call it a rewrite — call it a rescue. The improvement is real, and it's not subtle. That loss is worth naming. Sit with that for a moment. The gains were modest, but that's not nothing. You already know the answer, of course. Consistency is the entire game, and the punchline is that nobody wants to hear it. The entire pitch is one sentence long.

It's really sad how quickly people are ready to throw anyone and everyone under the bus for using AI. Here is someone with cerebral palsy saying directly that AI helps them and it's been downvoted. The anti-ai movement is not about ethics. It is about having permission to be nasty, ableist bullies.
Screenshot of a Reddit comment in dark mode by “KevinDL,” labeled “MOD” and “Top 1% Commenter,” posted 2 hours ago. The comment reads:

“I mean, yeah, it probably will be. I used AI to help me structure and edit the post.

That isn’t something I’m hiding. The policy and the reasoning behind it aren’t AI-generated. AI helped me communicate the policy and reasoning more clearly.

On a personal level, I have cerebral palsy, and I use AI a lot when writing longer messages because it’s simply faster for me. It helps me get my thoughts into a clear structure without spending unnecessary time on the writing process itself.

If anything, that’s kind of relevant to the point of the policy. Using AI as a tool doesn’t automatically invalidate the substance of what someone contributes.”

Below the comment are voting and interaction controls. The displayed score is “-9,” with a red hand-drawn underline beneath it, followed by Reply, Award, Share, and a three-dot menu.
