That's still a single window. Otherwise what are the radical, unthinkable positions between abhorrent, fine and moot? (TL;DR: It's just a metaphor).

Actually, I think it's drowning.

If .ca and .au did arrange free movement in and out of the EU (and with each other?), that would really be the cherry on the Brexit cake.

Is it exists, something must be antithetical to it. (Truth is its just rhetoric and it doesn't mean much of anything. That's why its main use is as a cudgel).

I was thinking about that. I reckon generating massive amounts of synthetic training data for that goal should be possible - you've already got the Python, after all. It's also possible for machine code, but you'd have to tar

It might be less ambitious and more practical to target bytecode. But you effectively lose the human review component.

Ooh. I've been manually pasting Claude's /* comments */ into ChatGPT and saying "make this concise". They still need to be tweaked from there, but it's a much better starting point. This will help.

But is it smart enough to know it needs to write some Python to count for it? That ability to create ad hoc tools makes up for a lot of shortfalls.

I've done something similar to your formal garden map. It's work that no professional historian would ever do because the data entry would be such a slog for a relatively small reward. GPT reduced the task from "infeasible&qu

Ok, so they're uniquely careful, and they also get to that threshold first (whatever it is). What happens when everyone else (who is not so careful) gets to the same threshold three months later? How does them getting there first stop

> proof of humanity I'm just wondering how you'd do that. Only thing I can see working is a web of trust.

That's the problem every Elite after the first one had. The first one was dogfighting in space, all the others were so. much. space.

Training on prompts I can understand - that's kinda baked into the premise, and they've been explicit about it. Publication, though? Slimy is right. But the interesting question to me is: once they had a solution, what should they

"More leaders means more leadership" Heh. Also: make it stop!!!

Ok half was an exaggeration, but I think $10 might make quite a lot of them jump to Claude. Or DeepSeek. Remember, we're talking about a global user base here. I settled on GPT Plus/Codex for my own work, while my employer settled

I've spent my entire career trying to automate my job. (I get what you're trying to say, I'm just finding the irony amusing).

Or more efficient models/faster hardware close the gap between here and profitability. I wouldn't be surprised if every $10 you add to the subscription cost halves your audience.

And both are illegal. (Depending on your local jurisdiction. But GP said "Online Safety Act" so I'm making an assumption).

There's nothing a swarm of LLM instances can achieve that a single LLM instance can't. It's the same software, but running in parallel. That doesn't unlock Mysterious Cosmic Powers.

"just for replication rate to vary depending on some property of the thing replicating" That's a heritable trait, not selection pressure. Remember, we're talking about an infinite population size here, but if the pop. si

Add Opus 5.0 to your list. (GPT 5.6 Terra tried to give me some kind of driving-at-night-with-a-starfield thing, but failed quite hard).

(Just realised I should have said "heritable variation" not "adaptive radiation" up there. Oh well.)

"Evolution doesn't require selection pressure" is a new one on me, tbh.

by flir 24d ago
Not convinced you've got evolution there. You've got adaptive radiation, but where's the natural selection? The low-black-hole universes aren't going to stop "procreating" because high-black-hole universes exis

Got curious, so I did a very unscientific experiment. Playing 3 1080 music videos in FF pulls about 60W here. In Chrome, about 50W. No videos playing is about 30W. If it's uBlock or 3.33W, I know which I'm choosing.
