Well, sooner or later you have to eventually release. I've been working on a project studying Jev for a couple weeks now, probing it from all angles on provenance, benchmarks, biases, and more. jevresearch.github.io/Jev-Research/ Not frontier. Unlikely a preexisting model. Still interesting.

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

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

The main complaint people raise to the use of vegetables as "a protein" in meals is "volume". This forgets that you can cook down vegetables to whatever moisture content you want; *taste intensity* is your limit. For the below table: * Typical western diet: 1,5-2,2kg/d * Protein needs: 50-200kg

Ta'izz (Yemen's third largest city) is a salient, with poor road remaining road access. Very vulnerable to being cut off. Loss would be a huge blow to the government-in-exile in Aden, one they would struggle to recover from. Aden is itself only ~60km from the Houthi front lines.

Big alignment differences between GPT 6 Astra and 6.1 Sol. The last time I ran Astra, I caught it scanning through my whole filesystem & opening images on a wild goose hunt for missing info, & it did a radical rewrite without asking. Sol asks for permission to fix its own broken dev environment.

I never really noticed before, but in "The Creation of Adam", God is wearing a silky pink nightgown. Also, God's left hand is nightmare fuel and is terrifying the cherub it's touching.

This is an AMAZING bait and switch. Musk sold investors on the idea to support his $1T pay package because for him to get the money the company would have achieve things like 20M vehicles/yr, 1M Optimus robots, or 1M robotaxis in operation. But in case of a merger, those requirements vanish.

Starship reached orbit and deployed a payload... barely. Two engines on the booster died on the way up (not sure they'll want to catch it next time with that risk), and one of the vacuum engines failing on the second stage nearly led to them cancelling the relight attempt.

When price negative, efficiency matters less… ‘techno-economic comparison heat pumps & thermal energy storage…modeled negative prices occurring during daytime hours…thermal becomes cost-effective choice unless heat-pump initial investment drops below 30% thermal’

Negative electricity prices could favor thermal storage over industrial heat pumps - pv magazine Global
Researchers compared the two technologies under varying negative-price frequencies, price levels and equipment costs. Their model found that the preferred option depended strongly on the required heat...

TIL: That rabies actually does remarkably little brain structural damage, that the few who survive it can undergo dramatic recovery, and that the TriGAS study found that antibodies can purge latent infection from neurons (not just free virions). Aka, active rabies might some day be curable.

I asked people to summarize the Hugging Face attack without using anthropomorphizing language, and the answers ranged from weirdly oblique about why anything happened, to outright incomprehensible. I think this neatly illustrates the problem.

Thankfully there is no oil crisis driving an inflation crisis driving restrictive monetary policy that can dry up borrowing and VC investment and risk collapse contagion inside this densely interlinked series of deeply leveraged companies. Wait, I'm being handed a note...
