Every ML Researcher's dream is this & a coffee shop

Like it's obvious which, but mechanically could be a love letter to chatbots as easily as breathless hate mail, which I also think is interesting

I like the cute drawing-with-strangers-online genre so much that the panicky framing isn't even in my mind

So much fun. Torn between which of "AI" larp & prompter is the funnier part of the duo

they pale in comparison to me, a cartoon gooner who loves AI

Hard problem is hard so will forego all that but.

Absolutely 1000% the case that if you gave a terminal with claude -- throw in a text-to-video model tool-call for kicks -- to someone in the 90s they'd think it was capital "a" AI or a demon.

Look i know ai is "not sentient" but like, if you went back in time to the 90s and told someone about this, they would tell you you had a sentient robot inside your computer

Lolll -- love fanart (sincerely) & also love when the least introspective fan art enthusiasts do this

I heard all of the most brave people on bluesky are doing a poasters boycott about this. I would be so mad if that happened

Luddites actually stop using bluesky challenge

Oh interesting, people who don’t know how to build software are getting mad at my post about building software. Cute.

Let me be clear, over the next year, the job of software engineer will shift dramatically to no longer have typing syntax into an editor as its primary time sink.

Have to cite at least one EA/rationalism-adjacent person

Just ran across this, didn't expect this but makes sense given the topic

This is, I think, something genuinely aesthetically evil. The car doesn’t know what it did wrong to become worth a hundred thousand or five million dollars. It wants to be driven, it is built to be driven, and, crucially, if it is not driven its owner could have achieved the same thing by never buying a car at all. My Alfa has rock chips. It looks cooler that way.

This kind of work on bsky makes me so excited for the potential of the platform

Yeah I think making presidents fight the war is a cool idea but they clearly are coming from an explicitly 1800s-style mentality

Wasm't degrading the taste but definitely singes your eyebrows a bit

I had suspicions because of how ridiculously buzzed I'd get relative a cafe & how cool tje espresso was immediately after pulling. lol

Its come to my attention that my dosing on my espresso has been absolutely nuts for a few months

if you close and immediately reopen the same app your phone should discharge a powerful electric shock

I hope OAI researchers consider leaving to any of the many labs who would be thrilled to take them. Generative ML researchers of all people have so many unequivocally good options -- in every sense

Claude (which like any AI has a knowledge cutoff date a couple of months ago) finds out about the newest Middle East War during a research (screenshot from Reddit).

I feel you, Claude, I really do.

In the blog, I discuss papers and personal correspondence with researchers on their findings about inferring training data, model training procedures, stealing deployed models and system prompts.
