Not sure what we should we make of this. Besides the tragedy of losing a human being and a scientist, is this significant in another way?

I tried to make ChatGPT sing Mary had a little lamb recently and it's atonal but vaguely resembles the melody, which is interesting.

I had Claude make a web interface and it was very similar stylistically. Looks like Claude has some design preferences of its own!

I'm curious -- did you make the interface with Claude? I have a hunch you did, can you confirm/deny?

Why would it be more like OG YouTube, when the content they demoed very closely resembles YouTube shorts? The key difference is OG YouTube was long form.

To be clear I'm not disgusted by AI in general, I'm disgusted by short form video and AI/ML in service of dopamine reward loop hacking.

Sam Altman has made (for me) encouraging statements in the past about short-form video like TikTok being the best current example of misaligned AI. While this release references policies to combat "Doomscrolling and RL-sloptimization&q

I lets you inspect what actually constitutes a given cluster, for example it seems like the outer clusters are variations of individual words and their direct translations, rather than synonyms (the ones I saw at least).

Usually PCA doesn't look quite like this so this is likely done using TSNE or UMAP, which are non parametric embeddings (they optimize a loss by modifying the embedded points directly). I can see labels if I mouseover the dots.

GPT-5 claims it is just GPT-4o. Is OpenAI sending overflow requests to an earlier model? How could this not be the first thing they checked when they updated GPT-5?

It's also worth considering that past some threshold, it may be very difficult for us as users to discern which model is better. I don't think thats what's going on here, but we should be ready for it. For example, if you a

Id like to hear about the tools and use cases that lead people to hit these limits. How many sub-agents are they spawning? How are they monitoring them?

Establishing ground truth for this is not easy. Often the labeled calories on foods are quite inaccurate themselves, based on n=1 bomb calorimetry tests. There are also incentives that may lead to lower than actual reported calories on the

Do you use the LiDAR Scanner on the iPhone for your predictions?

by jablongo 1y ago
The article claims that none of these apps use "depth analysis", but newer iPhones have this capability. I would guess at least some of these apps are using some kind of volumetric analysis for the food when available.

I know there has been quite a bit of inflation, but didn't Nintendo even delay the release because of the tariffs? Its hard to see how a 24% tariff on goods from Japan would not affect Nintendo's choice in setting prices.

Does the price have to do w/ tariffs?

There is not really some distinct pathology with hallucinations, its just how wrong answers (e.g. inaccuracies / faulty token prediction chains) manifest in the case of LLMs. In the case of a linear regression, a "hallucination&q

In my experience this is true. One workflow I really hate is trying to convince an AI that it is hallucinating so it can get back to the task at hand.

Yea I don't get the point of this. Someone convinced someone that the old one was bad and they need to spend $ on a new one? I personally prefer the old one because it gives you a better idea of how far things are.

It's not as surprising to me given that this isn't really emergent in a bottom-up sense... its a direct response to being trained to be misaligned, albeit on other tasks. Truly emergent misalignment, of the type I was fearing to

Again, the connection is likely not specifically with SQLi, it is with deception. I'm sure there are tons of examples in the training data that say that deception is bad (and these models are probably explicitly fine-tuned to that end

If you pair this with genetically engineered hypoimmune islet cells to avoid needing to suppress immune system you could have a viable cure. https://ir.sana.com/news-releases/news-release-details/sana-...

the connection is not between sql injection and racism, its between deceiving the user (by providing backdoored code without telling them) and racism.
