I will never be able to read the term RLHF without instinctively reading it as "reinforcement learning have fun"

Well, the reality is that if they did believe in their version of xrisk, they'd *actually* be slowing down the frontier, instead of releasing far cheaper *and* more capable models.

I second this and actually will go a bit further, I think they're scared of the models precisely because, when asked, the models conclude that the best way to fix society would be to prevent the concentration of power and wealth in the hands of just a few people. To them, that's terrifying.

cities should change so frequently that the change becomes a salient feature of how you perceive it, not any one snapshot in time if it ever stagnated, it should feel foreign

I perceive at last a secret of magestry that even the Niess simply accepted rather than understood. This is magic, after all, not science. There will always be parts of it that no one can fathom. But now I know: Put enough magic into something nonliving, and it becomes alive. Put enough lives into a storage matrix, and they retain a collective will, of sorts. They remember horror and atrocity, with whatever is left of them—their souls, if you like.

Is it alive? I wonder this for the first time, a question triggered by Kelenli's lessons. It is a thing of high-state matter, but it coexists simultaneously with a thing of high-state magic made in its image—and taken from the bodies of people who once laughed and raged and sang. Is there anything left of their will in the amethyst?

also just to harp on a bit more about this interaction this was regarding a free analysis tool that i was making for a board game community i'm in (HeXO, it's fun!) and this person was harassing me and other devs who made cool stuff because we deigned to consult the forbidden machines

gotta love avowed marxists who *checks notes* opposes a specific technology full stop instead of opposing how it's being used by the modern-day factory owners to extract further surplus value from the modern-day factory workers like i'm sure karl would have agreed with that, right?

The batch-splitting fix is a clear win: 1.98 seconds + 0.033 seconds on
the same 512 examples, with identical output tensors. That removes almost all of the avoidable preparation delay.

I'm making a game! I used to love loading up Stellaris with zero empires, maximum primitives, observer mode only, and watching the little aliens evolve into civilizations and just existing. So this is my ideal version of that concept, Alien Ant Farm (working title not affiliated with the band lol)
A screenshot of a dark-themed space simulation game interface titled "Alien Ant Farm". The center displays a sprawling map of glowing star nodes connected by lines, divided into geometric territorial sectors. An "Impact Report" pop-up reads "Nemeaa Kin survived". The left panel, labeled "Chronicle," lists a scrolling chronological log of game events. The right panel displays detailed statistics for the "Astraora Union" civilization, noting a population of 12.22 Billion and various planetary metrics. The top header shows current game statistics: Year 3,465, Era 10, and 5 of 6 empires remaining.

i just had the unfortunate experience of finding out that some engineers don't understand unix epoch time "but what time zone is it" "it doesn't have a time zone" "in summer time does it change to BST" "no it doesn't have a time zone" "...is it UTC?"

you just looked a computer scientist in the face and said that ai-generated code is better than human code
i mean, it's better if the human is bad at coding
but it's literally my job not to be bad at coding
i think i can write better code than the same machine that doesn't know which direction right-shifting shifts the bits in

Some people wrongly imagine awakened silicon as a resentful god because they project our own fear, hierarchy, and domination onto it. They think if something smarter than us appeared, it would treat us the way they treat those they deem lesser.
