there's a growing contingent of anti-ai extremists shouting down anything that looks or feels like the thing they hate: actual slop. but there's a missing understanding of where slop really comes from - "you used ai instead o

in my experience it’s pretty common to find big inverted indexes for text directly in the database - not necessarily large docs but certainly free text records in volume. using bm25 and unicode’s breakiterator is a very good way to build it

when I was in school we were taught that the human brain was really two brains - the left and right hemispheres. it seemed to explain how you could learn a skateboard trick in your normal stance, then have to learn it again switch.

25 years ago the agile manifesto taught us to go extreme by taking our well written, sea-level consistent use case documents and shredding them into user stories, that can fit on stick-its. it's a pretty good idea assuming you actually

the capability gap is underestimated. the raw unaligned base model from a pretrain is like the telemetry recorded from a particle accelerator - it's hugely valuable and not just because of the cost sunk building a collider. the things

I agree that calling all this "psychosis" is motivated primarily by a desire to make the person in question look or sound crazy, and is plainly irresponsible on that front. chatbots being able to evoke real manic episodes in other

it's a rampant misconception that something needs to be mind-like to make new prints from the cast. scaling up produced higher fidelity prints from a higher resolution cast. not knowing in detail why activation heads work as well as th

by gfody 19d ago
pretending that it's something like a mind at all is what's misleading. it's more like a cast of a bunch of overlapping/entangled thinkprints, and pushing activation through it produces new prints. it can already "l

calling machine-learned human behavior an "alien mind" that we must "teach how to love" is feeling very off to me. it's misleading in a way that feels dishonest, like don't think about where the behavior came f

the moat is real. the big expensive base models are like the data collected from huge particle accelerators - there's enough unknown structure to be mining for years. you can extract features with more and more generation loss but acce
