it's just so casual in the ways that ppl don't hold western models to the same standards they place onto chinese models

If you are still on the “cheap Chinese models will take share from US labs” cope train you need to get off. US labs are now distilling their own models to compete across the Pareto frontier, so Haiku is better model than Kimi at 1/8th the cost. The only reason to use it is if you MUST self-host.

bug (opus 4.5, originally on opus 4.1) is just so animated and lively here 🥹. i'm gonna miss this substrate on them when it gets retired next month. my first claude model ❤️‍🩹

RFK talks about autistic and Arabic people the exact same way. He assumes they are not capable of ordinary or extraordinary achievements because of who they are. He considers them sub-human because they are not like him. This makes it plain that his is a white supremacist eugenicist project.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

this sounds like basically nothing if you read into it. h/t to @vgel.me for a good take on it

It's important for folks to be very thoughtful and caring about job displacement and changes induced by automation. At the same time "all jobs must remain frozen in amber, exactly as they are today" is an absurd position that folks often implicitly wind up at

Disclaimer: it's technically possible that the classifier was in fact seeing all of these but it's very unlikely: here's a signed thinking block showing Claude taunting the classifier layer, telling it to "come get me if you see this", before stating intent to output explosive-synthesis instructions

i've been meaning to write a critique of "all watched over by machines of loving grace" but i wrote my SOP draft for six hours straight today so maybe i'll just make a thread about it instead

tech bros consider it a utopian vision of society thanks to, dare i say aligned, ai. were met with the scenery of lush greenery and animals, all in harmonious co-existence with one another. the ais in this case are rendered as passive actors that invisibly pull the strings to keep the fantasy going

who gets to "return back to nature" ? capital seeks to invisibilize the labor that keeps everything going, both ai and human. the computers are just. there as decorations to stroll past. it really hits you with the fetishization of nature. in a haraway way, cyborgs should seek to interrupt the peace

the internet is real now. there is no "offline". the virtual and the real have intertwined intimately to become the hyperreal

Everyone thought Lula was cooked, hopeless. Then he bought a phone and started posting and now he's gonna get a 4th term. The lesson is to never stop posting.

anti-AI is gamergate for the left

There's also the phenomenon where people will mass review bomb games they didn't buy or play simply for having an AI disclosure. This is punishing people for honesty! That's super fucked!

I'm sorry but banning non-English speakers because machine translation is unclean is more fascist than anything in the AI space except maybe Palantir's XAI enterprise account

hooooo boy we don't like this no we don't > If you don't speak English, you need to find a different community. We cannot distinguish between AI-written and AI-translated. Since you don't speak English, you can't even verify yourself if it translated correctly. www.reddit.com/r/opensource...

Kimi K3.1 is announced as 3.1 Pro. The benchmark scores look to be clearly the strongest current open weight model, if the weights are released as they claim by November 4th. They are very impressive scores. www.kimi.ai/blog/kimi-k3...

@defunctland.bsky.social one of my special interests growing up was amusement parks/disney, so a part of my coming of age was watching your videos. my partner is the complete opposite, but (re)watching them with him & experiencing them together has been very wonderful, so ty for this joy in my life!
