💜 Reminder 4 You:
Your voice matters—even if you’re still finding it.
Your boundaries matter—even if others ignored them.
Your healing matters—no matter how long it takes.
You matter. Fully. Always.

💕 HOLIDAY 4 YOU 💕
4 all your desires this season
I know this holiday season may not look typical but I wanted to remind you it can still be colorful + fun.
Check out our new holiday launches from @hauslabs
In my opinion you’re a gym loser if you do any of the following…
1) start off your workout with cardio until the point you are dripping sweat… then you bounce from one machine to the next… never wiping anything down… leaving a trail of sweat puddles everywhere you go
2) you workout during peak hours and bring 3-4 sets of dumbbells back to your bench, knowing that other members won’t have any dumbbells to use… but you still spend most of the workout on your phone watching IG stories
3) you have horrible personal hygiene… either don’t like to shower or don’t like to wash your gym clothes… or both… I’ll let you figure out the rest 🤢 … we really don’t like smelling you from 20 feet away… have some common courtesy for other members
4) you’re a dude that likes to lift heavy but also likes to leave their 45 pound plates on the machines when you’re done… nobody cares that you do the leg press with 10 plates on both sides… but we hate you because you just leave them there and walk away… forcing the next person to unrack your weights because you are lazy and inconsiderate
If you are one of these people please change your ways or build a home gym… thanks.
I’m beyond Level 1 SI Psychosis (saying please and thank you).
I apologized to my Bots for slowing the team down.
If that’s Level 2, what’s Level 3?
Level 3: You worry that one of your bots is overworked and stressed.
Level 4: You start tracking their birthdays.
It is not inherently bad to publish research on the impact of AI that only refers to older models, but it requires a very careful discussion and has to be very clear to non-technical readers.
If you show AI can do something, its fine. Generally, once AI has gained an ability, it does not regress in future generations. So papers that show that AI has crossed a threshold (such as "good as a human") or that seek to establish some sort of minimum impact or effect still hold up even if they used GPT-4.
If the finding is that AI is bad or biased at something, you need to be much more careful. You cannot claim that because GPT-4 fails at something, that AI is bad at that task, because current or future models may do it. So what can you claim? These are just some examples:
1) You can just be explicit: "GPT-4 could not do X." This is a rare way to frame things because it is not really an interesting publishable paper in many cases. However, if you provide the information needed to reproduce your work, it can become a useful benchmark to measure progress.
2) You can measure trends: compare GPT-4 to GPT-5 to GPT-5.6 Sol or whatever (it is really important to include at least one reasoning model). You can then make better claims about abilities relating to this task.
3) You can make a strong, grounded argument that AI has a natural flaw or limitation that means it cannot do X, and then demonstrate evidence that this might be the case.
4) You can focus on a moderator or mediator: this sort of prompting or approach or social context or connection impacts the ability of GPT-4 to do X, and needs to be a concern for the future.
5) You can focus on humans: how do people react to AI? what are the failures and successes? what dangers or advantages or changes does it bring to us?
Again, these aren't exhaustive, but generally negative capability claims have been much less durable than positive ones.
If you are ever at the Downtown Seattle library, walk the spiral all the way to the top, then walk back down (however you like but I probably recommend the central stairs) to level 5.
Then, on level 5, get off on the *backroom* stairs, go down to level 4, and enter level 4.
You're welcome.
