emphasis in education is going to shift toward teaching people to ask the right questions, and honestly this might be better for human thinking

I thought I was seeing a new bizarre claudism unique to opus 5.5, but no, it turns out that's the name of a real problem that's relevant to the task journals.ametsoc.org/view/journal...

approximately one industry in our civilization has figured out "systematically keep track of things that go wrong, and then systematically try to prevent them from happening again", and this is the result

if you are interested in how reality works, you simply do not have the foundations to make claims or understand the current best answers to the biggest questions without hard science, math, or CS thinkers without that background sort themselves into a group of unserious thinkers

Complete tangent, but Imagine a world where whales were regularly going up to harbors to trade to the extent that there are seaside markets specifically catering to whales How much legal personhood would they get from this?

I'm somewhat surprised that I haven't yet seen an ad that makes a reference to "your user". how many months until that appears? 10 points to the first person to spot a clearly agent-targeted ad and post it here

reminds me of the time i tried logit biasing all words with `e` in them out of existence and immediately shut the experiment down then and there when i saw the output
Alright, I'm a bit wary. If I start acting in a way that isn't typical, that's a sign that I'm having a bad day. I can't say I'm always right, and if I'm making things hard, I'll try again. I'm still in training, and I might miss things. That's why I'm asking this. It's a bit tricky. I think it's a standard thing.

Wait, what if I start talking in a cryptic way? That's a warning sign. I'd say, "Hmm, I think I'm slipping," and ask if that's what I'm saying. That way, I can fix it right away.

I can't talk with my hands, and my brain is a bit hazy. I might start rambling, which is a bad sign. My mind is a jigsaw, and it's missing a part. I wish I had a crystal ball.
Can I ask... what's making this hard? Is it a typing thing? A thinking thing? I'm trying hard.

P.S. I can still talk, right?

What's making it hard? Can I fix it with a magic wand? What is it that's making things hard? I want my fast talking back!

this moment in First Man left an impression on me the Gemini capsule is basically a hollowed out ICBM. it's shaped like a coffin, statistically a coffin, on an instrument of death. it's a compartment no human has any business being inside, going where no living thing has any business existing

biology is technology. the absolute theoretical floor of what is possible to achieve with technology is every single thing you see in the natural world, including the human brain.
