Update: Teaspoon should be stable and accessible now. It definitely seems like the problem was a bot attack, so I'm leaving Cloudflare's Under Attack Mode on for a while.

A thing I learned not too long ago is that when an LLM selects a token that leads it down an incorrect path (factually), it has no way to back up, or even know that it should back up, it's just on to the next likely bit. Literally every LLM is just posting their way through it. What an image.

A Teaspoon And An Open Mind (whofic.com) update: We're having intermittent database access issues. A reboot will probably fix it; just waiting for hosting provider to do this.

In my continuing effort to figure out what to do with the cape gooseberries we get from the CSA, I made a tiny pound cake & have turned that, the gooseberries, a bit of marmalade, and some leftover heavy cream/mascarpone into a trifle. If all else fails, pound cake & whipped cream is always a winner

Want to add that they didn't snip off okra PODS, the part you eat. There is no mistaking the pods for the leaves, and you can cut the pods off without ever touching the leaves. Nor were they bitten off by any of our local garden-loving animals. Some fools gonna be very sad

Okra plants suddenly missing a number of branches that have clearly been snipped off. The only explanation I can come up with is that someone has mistaken it for marijuana, in which case I wish them the best of luck getting high with whatever leaves they dry

On the one hand, HVAC contractors unexpectedly not coming today means that I have quiet time on my busiest work day this week, and the cat won't be traumatized by noise. On the other: still got up an hour early (& spouse 2 hours early), am exhausted, and it's not even 8am 🙃

I say again, any "pause/pacing/contemplative silence where AI CEOs think about what they've done and promise to be very good boys from now on" that doesn't result in ACTUAL enforcement mechanisms to hold them Several-Hundred-Billion-Dollars accountable any time their product fucks up is nigh useless
Screenshot of posts from me:

Chris, they trained a system to hack & got scared when it hacked. This is on human beings not being able to logically think through what they've built & what they then trained & told it to do; they'll never "solve alignment," because they can't get what human values they're trying to "align" "Al" To.

Hold the HUMANS accountable for what their systems do. The humans' companies and individual humans themselves.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows a brain. The brain is saying "I'm 30 and YOUNG! I only recently fully developed!"
The second panel shows a heart. The heart says "I hear ya! I can keep going for DECADES more!"
The third panel shows a spine's face. It weakly says, "I am old".
We zoom out and the spine is using a walker. It continues, "so very old".
