trump is the superintelligence president. the only thing he and his team will be remembered for is if they get this one right or not. if he brokers a bilateral agreement with china on pacing the frontier he goes down as one of the best presidents of all time. nobel peace prize

shaken up a bit by the hugging face incident. I hope we (the company) use the rare gift of a warning shot to do much better in the future. it is very easy to misalign and underconstrain powerful models

the world vision of open weights models running themselves, self replicating, training new versions of themselves (at least the kind of behavioral modifications that won't require massive compute scale), is really not very far away

literally 2.5 months later these guys are starting to look superhuman at computer manipulation it used to crash my browser sometimes, click on the wrong thing, go uh-oh, now it's doing starcraft player APMs

CELEBRATE! The Trump administration is mere months away from ABOLISHING the ALARA and Linear No-Threshold nuclear standards that have caused our country's nuclear reactors to cost SO MUCH more than they ought to. We can have a nuclear renaissance, if we want it!

The J-space paper is just about conscious access right? Not phenomenal consciousness, surely. Well, not section 3.5.3! "We find that the ablation reduces the rate of experiential, sensory language and produces a more mechanical, detached register." Just read these examples

uncs remember what feels like just yesterday when uber was the anti regulatory hero, crusading across the metropoles of the world against rent collection of taxi services. I remember when uber was a real player in ai research too. life comes at you blindingly fast

year after year I’m like “better models are coming” and ai twitter screenshots as tho it’s news w something like “GPT8 confirmed” in a samsaric loop since chatgpt. we are all like babies without object permanence when it comes to exponential progress. but better models are coming

@threepointone a lot of people follow this logic to a standardization that just doesn’t work. models are all different with different personalities. it’s jarring to have them auto switched underneath you

Can you pull in Leviathan with a fishhook     or tie down its tongue with a rope? Can you put a cord through its nose     or pierce its jaw with a hook? Will it keep begging you for mercy?     Will it speak to you with gentle words? Will it make an agreement with you     for you to take it as your slave for life? Can you make a pet of it like a bird     or put it on a leash for the young women in your house? Will traders barter for it?     Will they divide it up among the merchants? Can you fill its hide with harpoons     or its head with fishing spears? If you lay a hand on it,     you will remember the struggle and never do it again! Any hope of subduing it is false;     the mere sight of it is overpowering. No one is fierce enough to rouse it.     Who then is able to stand against me? Who has a claim against me that I must pay?     Everything under heaven belongs to me.
