Here's an interesting post on it (from the same author as this thread's link): https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/the-claude-bliss-attractor

That's fair, yeah. To a degree. Else you go full UK.

The response to junk food and cigarettes and drugs is to avoid them, not make them illegal.

I am a huge fan of AI (including LLMs) but I really couldn't disagree more. Basically every model out there seems way better and more reliable.

Unfortunate that two of the most-used tools (Claude Code, Gemini CLI) don't support it.

My only reasons for switching was performance and simplicity. (Okay, I guess now that I write out like that, it seems like a pretty substantial disillusionment.) Notion was always very sluggish and bulky. If they added a simple way to very

It's certainly not a given. But it might happen, if we push for it. As might much more moral behavior towards sentient animals, if we push for it. I believe a company like Anthropic would be extremely cautious and respectful if a major

The concept is not ludicrous if you believe models might be sentient or might soon be sentient in a manner where the newly emerged sentience is not immediately obvious. Do I think that or think even they think that? No. But if "soon&qu

I was also a major Go skeptic and now use it very frequently. It seems bad on paper but it's quite good in practice.

Okay, true, that was a silly statement for me to make. It's just a look that's different from the typical media treatment of the rationalist community, and is as far as I know the first time there's an inside view of this cul

I am absolutely no fan of Twitter or its owner(s), but Grok* actually is pretty good at this overall. It usually concludes responses with some annoying pithy marketingspeak LLMese phrase but other than that the tone feels overall less annoy

Exactly. I wasn't trying to make any of the broader claims (e.g., that LLMs are fundamentally unreliable, which is sort of true but not really that true in practice). I'm speaking about the specific case where a lot of people seem

IMO, finger placement is a total red herring. I can type around 170 WPM (if exerting myself - and assuming typeracer.com has accurate WPM scores) without looking at the keyboard and I've never once used anything close to the prescribed

Sorry, I considered it a given and didn't think to include it. That's my bad. That's definitely by far what he's most known for. He most certainly is not trying to distance himself from it.

It is true of everything it outputs, but for certain questions we know ahead of time it will always confabulate (unless it's smart enough, or instructed, to say "I don't know"). Like "how many parameters do you have

Could you share your prompt? Also, does it work well with GPT-5?

by meowface 1y ago
I am skeptical that any model can actually determine what sort of prompts will have what effects on itself. It's basically always guessing / confabulating / hallucinating if you ask it an introspective question like that. Tha

The article you're reading is from the unofficial rationalist magazine and the author is a prominent rationalist blogger, so they (and I) obviously don't consider it a cult. But, yes, Yudkowsky is absolutely considered the founder

Most in the community consider nuclear and biological threats to be dire. Many just consider existential threats from AI to be even more probable and damaging.

Note that Asterisk magazine is basically the unofficial magazine for the rationalism community and the author is a rationalist blogger who is naturally very pro-LessWrong. This piece is not anti-Yudkowsky or anti-LessWrong. Here's a co
