The First Multi-Behavior Brain Upload The Singularity has belonged exclusively to artificial minds, until now.

I did not realize that emulation was this far ahead. The previous iteration was able to do very simple behavior like extending and retraction a tongue based on smell, but now they have an uploaded fly brain capable of controlling a simulated fly. Won't be too long until lobsters at this rate

maybe the brain just does a lot of error correction ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Guys surely if human cloning is illegal we should make whole brain emulation illegal, right? Right?!

holy shit, this is way ahead of where I thought we were. Part of what I find interesting is that you can (seemingly) get such rich behavior with only 95% prediction accuracy. My guess would have been you need >99% to find anything reasonable.

If a CEO of a company says a new factory should be opened, then her words will cause a physical change in the real world. These are real causal changes. The words LLMs produce be it code or docs, will be as real as the change that they affect. It will only get more real.

I switched because of ligatures

Wow, very impressive!!!

I was about to be impressed, but then I didn't see my own pfp anywhere smh

This is an actual step towards "truth seeking" AI.

Claude is seemingly dropping messages right now in conversation. Anyone else getting the same thing?

This is good

"rising housing costs since 1990 are responsible for 13 million (11%) children not being born, 51% of decrease in fertility from the 2000s to the 2010s, and a 7pp decrease in the share of 20-29 year olds that have started families"

Woah

I admit that they use human concepts as a crutch to describe what is happening + do some hypothesizing. But the central experiment is purely mechanistic and doesn't require any human concepts. It is just "when we inject a steering vector can the model tell"? And the answer is sometimes yes.

No?

glad i could help

But think of the opportunity cost of feeling depressed. You could be feeling great rn

My guess would be around 5 years

I don't have lots of money right now. But hit me up in a year. might start high paying career soon. Happy to give you lots of money

But this mean that there is some critical time threshold. How many years do you have to go back for the sex graph to be supercritical

What is interesting is that the sex graph is supercritical. The giant component needn't include such a large fraction. This makes it likely that the global sex graph is also supercritical

Nice! How does one come up with something like this?
