That's only because these models are all pretty much the same (?) in terms of architecture, and basically do the same thing. New features, like memory, medium-term planning, and iterating towards a design goal, won't be imitatable

I got a dog recently, have been out on walks a lot and talking w other owners. Met a guy with an old dog a few weeks back, she was grey in the muzzle + stiff in the joints, but still moving around happy + unencumbered. He said she was 20 ye

Scientists and "put up or shut up" people optimize for diff things. People who get results, in my experience, do the right things but don't usually have correct explanations. Part of it is the subconscious figuring out what w

Honestly I believe in this kind of shit (lines on the forehead). It's basically the holographic principle for black holes (?), that all the information inside is readable from just examining the surface. And there would be an absolutel

As with all these articles, the title and main premise are misguided and/or imaginary, but there are some worthwhile nuggets. The superposition of possible attitudes is a good one. Even if that's not the way LLMs "actually&qu

Some writing excludes the author. It might be dispassionate + precise, or observational, or hazy + removed. This is not that. It's opinionated life advice. Engaging seriously with the content requires asking "Who are you, and why

What gets my goat is all the self-aggrandizement. Drinking bad, coding good? As a non-drinking coder, that sounds hella gay. I like the impulse of "do things, improve" and the positive attitude, but it overpromises and is light on

Yeah, exactly. The sensory inputs that are subdued are the "self-bubble". Extreme attention paid to people from an emotional distance is heightened because it's processed through fear, like a prey animal. The "extreme se

Yeah, computation time is a resource. Can be seen in some starcraft matches, where attention is being juggled and distributed as much as actual armies. Feels like there's some low-hanging fruit there, it hasn't been studied nearly

Autism literally means "inward-turned" or "self-focused", so not a lot of mental space for shared attention there in the first place.

One reason why online meetings suck so much! I can't look at the camera and people at the same time, there's no real way to make eye contact.

I want to back this up! For a while I was carb-reliant, would bring fruit with me to my workouts, felt like I couldn't do more than 30 min of hard effort without fueling. Made a conscious effort to "go keto", ate more protein

I wanted to be (?) an old man sometimes as a kid, and would walk around pretending to have arthritic joints.

As a big picture thinker, sometimes big picture thinking is an excuse to jerk people around. There's not just one big picture, there are tons of possibilities at any given moment. Unless it's a repeat process w defined goals, the

Kids are a lot more susceptible to feeling left out of stuff. They don't know it's all the same crap everywhere yet ;) There's also a spectrum of FOMO, from accidental to intentional. Some people feed off of excluding others

You made a few unforced errors that move it away from the quietly authoritative, mirror-sheen AI voice. The colon in line 1 is clunky, the combination of "but" and "with" in line 2 reads as passive, and line 3 is full pe

Not gwern, but I believe absolutely yes. I bet it could be done by chaining current models together, using text files as intermediate state. Awareness of self is just another game to optimize in an orthogonal (timewise) direction. Enough mo

Love "why do I have to be bing search?", and the last one, which reminds me of the nothing personnel copypasta. The bing chats read as way more authentic to me than chatgpt. It's trying to maintain an ego/sense of self,
