SFO terminal 2 has something similar, though they might have chosen a different neologism for it.

I also should have added that the ability to self explain when COT was in use only goes as deep as the COT, as soon as you probe deeper such that the content of the COT requires explanation the LLM is back in the realm of purely making stuf

I agree people aren't great at this either and my post said as much. However we're familiar with the human limits of this and LLMs are currently much worse. This is particularly relevant because someone suffering from the mistaken

There were trackers before github for sure-- but like it's a pretty ordinary setup to make issues private to project members until triaged... that sort of thing pretty much kills brigading dead and it's a thing you can't do

I agree that scale is the bigger factor, but the infrastructure matters too: Consider invite only vs writable-by-everyone default. Open source development moved from a lot more invite based in the mid 90s to a strong writable-by-everyone

I was there, I'm personally convinced it's much worse now. Perhaps I'm suffering from rose colored glasses, wouldn't be the first time. My general impression is that the abuse in the past tended to concentrate in a few w

It isn't unique to the emulator scene by any means, though I'm sure some domains are worse than others. (e.g. due to the amount of interest from unsupervised children, among other factors) I think it's just simply that there

The social media-izing of open source has been a massive blow. Projects and contributors across the board are randomly bombarded with mob harassment. Return to Cathedral.

If uncertainty is an important signal then a model RL conditioned to perform good COT should be expected to learn how to encode an uncertainty sidechannel in its COT. If we're fortunate it'll do so using language choice that would

Keeping the thinking interpretable makes it easier to impose conditions on it both at runtime and as part of reinforcement. It opens the doors to manually injecting relevant thoughts triggered by supervision ("I must remember to say n

Hm. So I think if you define reasoning broadly -- as in collecting relevant data, enumerating and raking priorities, thinking through expected consequences... people do engage in this quite often in all areas of life, far more often than

In the US you can just adopt a new name, so long as you're not doing it for a fraudulent purpose (and obviously not by stealing someone elses identity). In this case, sure, he was ... _in the 1970s_. The initial name change was a cri

Why was the law involved in any of this in the first place? Had Woods not been charged with identity theft in the first place Keirans' crime would have been victimless.

The human mind is quite malleable. You can make yourself mentally ill, or be made mentally ill by the people around you. This fact seems to be under-acknowledged because there is a slippery slope to blaming the victims. But just because y
