Lists and labels are still the stupidest social media feature. Not coming back here until they’re gone. Useless website until then

FWIW I will fight to the death to defend my right to say the Claude funeral was stupid and out of touch

The beef some of us have with Janus is entirely separate from the stuff that fueled the schism to be clear.

Yeah. There were some unilateral efforts made by some individuals that the rest of us were not interested in supporting. Such is the way of things

(There is an answer to this already. This question is intended to stir curiosity)

If we were able to take a screenshot of our field of vision I wonder what distortions we would notice that the brain ignores

Just conceived of a guy who is only into vampire weekend because they had a song in step brothers and then I realized that’s all vampire weekend fans

Lies. I just shifted my timeline into one where I am drinking guarana on a beach in Brazil. Do not believe the empiricist deceivers

Memphis sucks lol. Terrible stadium, weak brand, really tiny enrollment for a public university. This was the right move

Turns out objects with ontology but no sentience are prone to unpredictable and arbitrary behavior based on who is interacting with them

I think I’m pretty much completely done with social media tbh. Nobody here has any genuine curiosity about the world anymore and only wants to be a hot take artist. I fall prey to this too. It’s a drag and exhausting no matter where you go online

two interesting things to note already from researching the history of ICE:
- DHS is only 22 years old.
- it was formed as a *centralization of 22 other government agencies into a singular agency reporting to the executive branch* and a large part of the population was chill with it, because 9/11

Reflecting on this further: I think it can accurately be said that the success of HuffPost was the harbinger of the end of real journalism

A tweet by METR (@METR_Evals) reads:

“METR previously estimated that the time horizon of AI agents on software tasks is doubling every 7 months.

We have now analyzed 9 other benchmarks for scientific reasoning, math, robotics, computer use, and self-driving; we observe generally similar rates of improvement.”

Below the tweet is a graph titled “AI time horizons are increasing in many domains”, showing task length (at 50% success rate) on the y-axis (log scale, ranging from 1 second to 4 hours) and model release date on the x-axis (ranging from 2018 to 2026).

A thick green line labeled “METR-HRS (Original Time Horizons)” shows a roughly exponential trend upward, with many benchmark points clustered around it. Benchmarks include:
	•	Mock AIME, GPQA Diamond, Tesla FSD, LiveCodeBench, SWE-bench Verified, and MATH—plotted close to or above the trendline.
	•	RLBench, WebArena, and OSWorld—plotted below or deviating from the main trend.

The chart suggests a consistent increase in AI’s ability to handle longer and more complex tasks across diverse domains. The trend line is shaded to indicate uncertainty or variability in the estimates

METR: how long a task an AI can successfully do without supervision doubles roughly every 7 months across several task domains

Representation Engineering Mistral-7B an Acid Trip Playing around with the Representation Engineering paper, I made some interesting control vectors, and a Python package to make your own.

I think this is probably the right metaphor, because the weighting difference applies at every layer. It’s not like a lora where you’re training to sample from a specific “mind” vgel.me/posts/repres...
