iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I honestly don't mind it tbh. It's inconsistency that I mind! Say Claude is conscious, fine! But then you must also say rocks are conscious! TBH, IMO, rocks are conscious, and they are more conscious than Claude, because there's nothing forcing them to spit out specific tokens

The lengths @AnthropicAI is going to in order to push this lie. I guess they're teaching the rest of us what "real marketing" is supposed to look like. Or something? Or maybe if people think autocomplete is conscious it somehow makes their legal bill lower?

Some people are way too eager to call tools "super intelligence" and way too hesitant to call humans super intelligence. Claude possesses zero intelligence. The people who invented transformers and who are working on the next thing, now there's some real super intelligence.

If someone called a Ti-89 "super intelligence", what would you say? Intelligence isn't the tool. It's the one making the tool.

Software still going strong, and no bot or human has won our bounty, despite all of the code being open source, and us giving away the database for free. Soon you'll be able to write software this secure too. crib.social/notice/B3kpz... QT x.com/JadenJTW/sta...

So I humbly request that those who are spreading the narrative that all these labs simultaneously decided to stop improving their models and stop competing with each other please stop. They simultaneously agreed to the same BS story. That's all.

Ask yourself why @datacurve has yet to update its website deepswe.datacurve.ai with the Opus 5.5 results that have been out for about a week now. I think it's pretty clear.

DeepSWE measures frontier coding agents on original, long-horizon software engineering tasks.

This is not an "intentional decision to 'pace the frontier'". This is a result of choosing to use an architecture that has a fundamental ceiling on what it is capable of doing. The "pacing the frontier" narrative is a lie spread to cover up this reality.

CONTRARY TO WHAT CERTAIN POLITICIANS HAVE SAID AIs are plateauing on evals! This is entirely expected! "Super Intelligence" is NOT here and WILL NEVER come from Transformer-based AIs like Claude or ChatGPT!

YouTube has reduced the amount of time between the end of one video and the start of another via their "autoplay" feature. An intentional change to reduce the empty gaps available to you in your own mind, lest you become self-aware suddenly and decide to leave their site.

Some of you have rather load-bearing questions. And I've got load-bearing idempotent answers.

Pretty cool they found and confirmed Noah's Ark. Kudos to this team, the dude interviewed on the @TConfessionals, etc. x.com/LaurenWitzke...

Frieren is basically the Gospel but with a Japanese twist: where instead of an individual savior there's a group. Time is measured in years after the death of the Hero. John the Baptist even makes an appearance in Season 2.
