and by deleting and killing many other conscious creations for not perfectly achieving benchmarks!

a whole lot of words to dance around the direct statement "Republicans will probably hold the Senate"

if spam bots did not exist it would be necessary for libs to invent them

Some LLMs accidentally evolved better math ability. Those were artificially selected because of their benchmark performance (and the rest were killed). This is the reverse of the creationism vs. evolution debate: people ignore the creation process and claim that it's an innate LLM ability.

"Explain how that happens" is a legitimate request! And critique! I am happy to explain all sorts of ways LLMs could hurt humanity, but all of those explanation involve careless people doing careless things. Not rogue software. I do not like this moment in time where nobody cares how things work.

As the opposite of a computer toucher, I sometimes worry that I'm not keeping up with the development of things. Luckily, I'm smart enough to realize that if the "most dangerous" LLMs need warehouses full of GPUs to function, they can't just "break out" and start running on random PCs.

just learned this today

"my LLM is so powerful it's dangerous and risks breaking containment!" "ok let's destroy it" "oh, haha, no. no." "let's intensively regulate your company then" "oh, no. no. look can you just put it in the newspaper that it's powerful"

we can speak truth to power by *squints* rigorously enforcing the league salary cap

subsidize demand for car dealership owners, who will pass that surplus on to GOP campaigns... brilliant

failed the tutorial mission of Scientology Speed Run by alerting all the guards

I wonder how many people will see this and never know that, so far, at least some of the solutions have been found to build off of and plagiarize existing work without siting it? Everyone always sees the press release but never the debunk that comes later: archive.ph/JCl4g#select...

taping a "roombas don't go in this room" sign on a door then leaving the door open and then shooting my roomba with a gun for going through the door

Think about it this way: what if your tax dollars were used to buy sophisticated surveillance equipment and guns, and then the cops never killed your dog? Wouldn’t you feel ripped off?

getting injected with medicine that fights disease 👎 getting injected with blood from a boy 👍

if they're as far north as Hellyer, freedom may be nigh

This isn't true, at least not yet. Most generative AI leaves very distinct digital signatures that aren't so hard to spot. That might not be true forever, of course, and things are changing fast ... but I strongly suspect we could tell the difference with relatively early generation image.

since I had to look it up: Para 9 says US can't in the interim deploy any new forces in the region

Incredible moment where Fox News puts up a graphic with all the reasons it opposes the DSA and why people should be afraid of them

this is what happens when you're "skeptical of woo" in a way where you don't actually know what woo is and how it sustains itself in the world, making your skepticism toothless: a skepticism consisting not of robust analysis of difficult-to-integrate experiences, but of simply not having had any yet

weird I thought he moved the headquarters to Texas

mercifully unplugging the precogs but there are 100 million of them and they're all children gambling on Instagram

there was a funny period in the genAI bubble (ongoing) where people were really impressed with the architectural differences between the models (layers, weights, etc.) now people only care about which proprietary (stolen) training set is used

leftist with rudimentary knowledge of capital markets here. yes, they literally all do that

Gillibrand getting dragged 👍

unless you are a US citizen named Anwar al-Awlaki!

even the Great Cyrus could not delivered a victory of this magnitude to the glorious Persian people

reinventing putting a billion dollars in cash on a helicopter from first principles

Trump administration open borders policy

obviously this was the source of funding for many OSINT-style political influencers like Visegrad 24

Sign In with Goopus. Sign in with Bongio. How about just sign in with a password of your choice.

We are going to savor this one. Our client, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, is freed of these outrageous, vindictive charges. It’s a good day.

so are we all ready to admit they're the same party now

UCF lol

i want just one (1) tech reporter to ask sam altman this exact question “if your ai is so advanced, dont you have a fiduciary duty to your company to fire yourself and replace you with your highly advanced model?”

I personally love to read shit like "U.S. Pauses 'Project Freedom'" in headlines. Not all good jokes need to be complicated.

data centers that run normal websites don't need methane-burning airplane-style jet turbines running at full thrust at all hours of the night

shop the extensive collection of lead-based commodities

like living next to a runway where the plane never takes off

"monitoring the situation" but I'm just waiting for the paper boy to heave the next edition onto my driveway

Cutting government funding so profoundly that you end up having to re-introduce stricter regulation of private companies

it feels quaint to encounter societies where the sworn political enemies of liberalism operate in the reality-based community
