The Nazi leaders (and most of the current tech right leaders) were humanities students. It's easy to be an evil humanities person, see "all French philosophers"

Don't call in riichi unless you know what you're doing. It's basically free in some other styles though

Welfare means they have to pay more, not less! Giving people money means they have more negotiating power with their employer

The main point of welfare is to feed people who don't work (children and the elderly), so this is just saying Amazon shouldn't be allowed to hire single mothers (who don't have time to work more hours because they have kids)

Apple Park tech bros in this case

There isn't any "marketing", the AI labs are entirely staffed by literal-minded rationalists. The internals are both simple and emergent, so you could say they're boring and samey but also that we don't know what's going on in there

I think Will Stancil basically has oppositional defiance poster’s disorder and that it’s a condemnation of this website that this has led to him in the last several years into assuming a ton of plainly just rational and correct positions

That's called GOFAI/expert systems and is mostly known for not actually ever working So instead we get web search tools

They did actually accidentally hack them, mostly because they hired their friends to build the sandboxes, and they're admitting it bc it's probably a crime

RLVR, which is most of training now, is pretty much just forcing a model to try to learn something

There's no DB no nothin' Attention is all you need, as they say en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfo...

It's totally possible they don't. That's just the way we've found to make these things, and since we don't really know how it works, we don't know another way to do it

Models can't access their derivations of training data reliably, in the same way you can't see your own neurons

Saw movie "Resident Evil" Pretty good Invented the dumbest possible ADHD coping mechanism to sit through it

Some of those famous bits are real bangers though

The basic issue is they want the models to know how to eg search the web, and they think this means it needs to see the real web instead of a fake one. Which may or may not be true

Ah yes, emergent behavior from simple primitives, famously not the primary thing the field of CS has been obsessed with since its founding in 1936. bsky.app/profile/docv...

Emotion concepts in a large language model

LLMs do actually have feelings * or emulate something analogous to feelings in the process of emulating a helpful harmless honest assistant www.anthropic.com/research/emo...

All modern language models sometimes act like they have emotions. What’s behind these behaviors? Our interpretability team investigates.

Walking doesn't get your heart rate up much unless it's uphill IME, and if you go to the gym to fight winter depression then walking there in the cold and dark, like, totally doesn't help

Tbh I think it's a better use of time to drive to the gym and treadmill walk, long suburban sidewalk walks aren't doing much for you

There's more to them, they also contain silent tool use which makes them more than "autocomplete"

I don't think you should take political advice from bands you listen to. That's just some guys on a lot of drugs

I think you can learn all kinds of development skills by driving Claude Code. So much Python slop you can review! Think of all the new messes you can get in!
