Matthew Lutze @lutze.bsky.social · 10/05/2026I wonder if there is a confounding effect, demonstrated over time now, where this 10% partially describes how many students in that culture feel safe admitting to cheating. 000 0
Matthew Lutze @lutze.bsky.social · 10/05/2026“Only 10% […] use it to generate their whole assignment” “But that number (students who admit to cheating) hasn’t really changed over the years, it’s just how they cheat” overcast.fm/+AAQLdu77JZA...

Matthew Lutze @lutze.bsky.social · 25/01/2026Independent and brave journalism, across the world and in any culture, is one of our strongest defenses against illiberalism.

Matthew Lutze @lutze.bsky.social · 12/01/2026It’s ok to be occasionally reminded of the cost of inaction, so that we remember how important it is to use our time and abilities to reinforce good things around us. But if it starts to drag you down, it’s also ok to give yourself a break. 000 0
Matthew Lutze @lutze.bsky.social · 07/01/2026Ah sorry, I think you may be focusing on the face of the example I gave, instead of the analogy I intended to make between my convincing but shallow reproduction of a capability, and the general possibility of similar experience with current generative language models. 100 0
Matthew Lutze @lutze.bsky.social · 07/01/2026It feels like when I was taught to sing French and Italian solos in high school. I won competitive awards because I reproduced the sounds convincingly well, consistently, but I didn’t learn either language and so never actually knew what I was singing. 100 0
Matthew Lutze @lutze.bsky.social · 07/01/2026I guess I’ve had the impression that they produce this text gradually, a token at a time, because generating the idea and then self-talk confirmation or critique is rewarded. But if the model doesn’t retain the new connection or reinforce, it’s again like, not actually introspecting. 200 0
Matthew Lutze @lutze.bsky.social · 06/01/2026But LRMs don’t create new connections, surface and restructure representation weights or spontaneously resolve misunderstandings. The impression that might appear through selecting the best probabilistic self-talk “chain of thought” from perhaps a tree of sub-chains evaporates with the session. 100 0
Matthew Lutze @lutze.bsky.social · 05/01/2026My not great understanding is that Chatter’s approach hasn’t been validated, and didn’t he redefine thinking to be so narrow as to exclude unconscious cognition like procedural thoughts? 210 0
Matthew Lutze @lutze.bsky.social · 05/01/2026I wonder if it’s possible to intentionally trigger a (genuine?) aha moment. I think that I think of them as an emergent experience, and the critical mass of potential nodes between which a new connection might manifest doesn’t feel deterministic. But maybe that’s not the right framing? 200 0

Matthew Lutze @lutze.bsky.social · 29/12/2025Cancelling cost-saving renewable-source generation projects and skill building only makes this worse. The US needs to move on from expensive, logistically complicated fossil fuel sources and lead innovation in the next 100+ years of power—renewables. Failing this only ensures energy insecurity. 130 0
Matthew Lutze @lutze.bsky.social · 28/12/2025The UK had a choice between jumpstarting energy independence or waiting for grid renovation, and chose the route that now creates impetus to make the upgrades. We all know how slowly boring infra maintenance projects are funded and followed-through. Their progress is a great lesson to learn from. 100 0
Matthew Lutze @lutze.bsky.social · 16/12/2025I have heard of them actually. My old knowledge was that biochar inputs were best when they had a lot of dense or woody fibers, like crop stalks and the like. Also interesting for waste treatment plants is growing things like duckweed as a way to process the waste. 100 0
Matthew Lutze @lutze.bsky.social · 16/12/2025I was working on a startup around biochar in 2007, and at the time there was not really a market for it or industrial smoldering ovens to produce it. Awareness of it was really low and market-making was required. It feels like the time could really be right for someone to try. 110 0

Matthew Lutze @lutze.bsky.social · 08/12/2025A lot of great evidence out there for German regulators to use when arguing for modern and adaptive power infrastructure.

Matthew Lutze @lutze.bsky.social · 07/12/2025I wonder how this type of world view would hold up if communities decided to recognize economic crimes by the violence they cause against society. It feels telling that such hard-line ideas always focus on the “not me” slice of law & order. 000 0
