Can LLMs Introspect? A Live Paper Review YouTube video by Neel Nanda

Neel Nanda breaks down the anthropic paper. If you haven't run across Neel, he's literally THE mechinterp guy. Great watch.

Yeah, now that I read the context in which that was posted, it very probably is just snark.

"The mind of man is holy."

Someone needs to explain to him that the Butlerians were the bad guys. AKA: not role models.

Nobody decided that smart phones, social media, and recommender algorithms would rule our lives. That just kind of happened. Dude can bloviate all he wants, but he's just one person. One day, you will need to negotiate an agreement, and the other party will employ an AI. You can walk if you want...

I might have feature extraction finished by the end of the day. POC is working, but with weird results. #wetclaude

Saw an interview with Nate Soars. He seems relatively level headed compared to Yud. No "the sky is falling!" Just, "Maybe we should focus on this a little more." So I expect the nonsense probably comes mostly from Yud.

Been thinking about the anthropic paper recently. I want to reproduce it. Looks to be relatively simple with transformer_lens. Should be able to run it on my Strix Halo with its 96gb vram. I think I can pull it off. Wonder if I can implement it in AgentForge... Give me a couple weeks.

Asked Claude for a recipe. Instructions unclear. Wet Claude.

๐Ÿ˜ฌ this has always been a power of the president. Though the last remodel of this scale that I am aware of was when it burned to the ground.

My paycheck comes in 6 hours. If it looks good, I will have a brand new computer for launch day.

I've lived in big cities(Atlanta, Phoenix) and rural areas. (Arkansas) I can get around just fine with a map. Turn by turn is just annoying. If I see where it's located on a map, I can usually get there, and learning a new city only takes a couple days. Just learn the main roads.

They already did that with social media. ChatGPT is the rehab.

If I fork, do you want me to push, or just maintain it separate? Will be at least six months down the line. (Although I am about to pull the trigger on a Ryzen max AI 395, so maybe sooner)

Same. It's been coopted to to create regulatory capture, allowing a few big conglomerates to own the entire pharmaceutical industry. It's why insulin is hundreds of dollars a month. It creates perverse incentives for profit on the sick, elderly and dying.

If you can't like your own posts, how can you expect other people to like them?

I think that is a relatively small number of users. They're also the ones that use the most tokens. (Except maybe developers) They don't want subscribers that just chat. They want subscribers that ask less than 100 questions a month. And businesses that use their API.

Oh, they don't want you doing that. This is basically gaming the algorithm. The only social media platform I have seen that gives you direct control over the recommender is Reddit.

When did we start calling them bisks and stop calling them skeets?

Then put it on sora. Instead of a parachute, he could use his dangly old man balls like a tanuki.

We should just start putting trump in the most ridiculous gay animal porn. Like naked skydiving anal raptor sex. Buy no, the left doesn't like AI.

Click on, downvoted, then stop the player and leave. You have to train your algorithm.
