kind of boggles me that the big ai labs arent running zero-shot classification on all their outputs with "does this look like any of these bad things we know people get up to"
"Look, it wouldn't have even mattered if we had done advanced cyber security like turn off internet or look at logs when huggingface was attacked!! See look it can still.. *prompts a shitload of agents, waits 6 hours* look wowwww they still learned how to talk to each other even if we turned internet off!"
"They wouldn't have been able to attack huggingface though, thats still criminal negligence."
"No see this actually means airgapping doesn't even matter theres nothing we can doooooo!"
"...ok, turn them off and delete them I guess"
"Well no of course not everyone else is doing it so like. No courts please just like be in awe"
for putting together something like a tool-call decision model, the conditioning will take less time than getting the data for it, which also will not take much time if you keep your session data. whatever fails is your negative contrast, whatever passes is your positive data. the space of tool calls your agents will use in your particular environment is not actually that big, which makes this one of the easiest wins you can pull off.
there is a lot more of me getting to choose what it is i end up doing each day. i find fun in doing those things now pretty regularly. cracking a tough problem can feel as good as jumping out of a plane did. that is to say, my brain is still not a great judge of how relatively cool something is, because even something like scuba diving or fast sports were wildly cool the first time and then the second time it was like "this again?".
i feel much safer though knowing that now when i sometimes get a little bit of the itch, i'll think about it for a few seconds and go "eh, maybe later," and return to trying to make a thing, or play some music, or why is that stupid thing still broken oh its because i broke it.
That is the opposite of dumb, you can use the next token likelihood to macgyver together a jev in a pinch exactly that way, you just would also want to take some steps to scramble up the choices to smooth over bias and tokenization artifacts. llms have favorite letters for example. Qwen likes A and D.
How did you manage describe a litany of automation while being fully unaware that is what you were doing? I mean you even said the word autopilot lmao. Yes, not all tasks in a job are fully automatable. iPhones, automating communication. Quickbooks and turbotax, automating business workflow steps.
The words and excels of the world, automating documentation and bookkeepery. It all makes some kind of existing thing we already do faster and more convenient, and often more efficient. Most software simply does nothing new. The thing you didnt manage to list which is the actually good example is games.
As a software engineer? The career whose very reason, largely, for existing in this market is to automate jobs, with few notable exceptions? That one is somehow deserving of sympathy and that of mathematicians is not? Come off it. The notion is undignified.
Put someone in charge who made their way by underpaying people to sit and label data vs the inventor of convolutional neural networks. Its no coincidence that shortly after his tenure ended, a model that took a long time to prepare started becoming actually useful.
Comments like this one reinforce the obvious truth that the people who are most "pro ai" are the ones who understand it the least
rlhf will cause models during training to hide data in regions not typically accessible to them in the geometry during inference, due to competing objectives, so i wonder if this looks like that.
So far, he is right. No frontier model right now performs well on making intuitive physics decisions when working on novel VR physics interactions. They literally all fall on their faces and it is very frustrating.
You're missing the point here. He's not talking about whether or not they can learn facts or inferences derived from the text itself, but the more holistic intuition that results from learning from something like an embodied experience in the physical world. GPT-6 Astras web demo homepage thing is an example. It chose euclidean rather than quaternion for letting a user rotate the galaxy thing, and anyone who has ever used hands to rotate something would immediately recognize on trying it that something is fucked and you shouldnt do that. Thats the kind of common sense physics that is inherently beyond these llms and I run into it ALL the time in vr programming.
how long until cutting out the token middleman and just keep the cache constant sized but edit it and just send the model new information instead of the same thing over and over. token bad latent good.
Are you arguing that training on copyrighted material is fine but distilling against tos is somehow bad? Lmao what a take. Nah, if copyright cant even be enforced then theres no way on earth violating a tos should ever have repercussions other than they ban you. stop carrying water theyre not gonna pay you
If taste that's all that's left you've kinda really got nothing. Taste is an anti-moat, it's sort of a measure of how well you, as a literal receptor, agree with a pile of people out there on something. Like sure its something you can sort of develop but it costs you nothing to use, and if you're not creating something off-manifold you're just smearing stuff around that's already on it. Horrendous kind of take on "taste" that's taken hold of everyone. Kinda like if a music artist stopped making music to make spotify playlists. Sure they could maybe make _good_ playlists, but if they are sitting there crowing "taste is all thats left!" it's.. what is that? It just sounds like either a deluded giving up or just a very direct admission of giving up.
At the risk of you hating this answer, because I hated this answer, but to me that sounds like you are holding it wrong. I have adhd and found it dumb and boring and possibly not even real / placebo or new agey until during one attempt I hit the phase change and had the holy shit this is amazing moment where it worked for like 3 seconds. The quiet relaxation felt like idk a euphoria in every part of my body just to not be anxiously mentally bouncing around for half a second.
Wishing to remove people from the population for stealing packages is the sociopathy I'm talking about. Valuing personal property over human life is how you get so many people in positions where they end up stealing to begin with, so it is short sighted as well. The people who end up stealing, for the most part, are not well-off.
I live in an apartment building where packages regularly get stolen or torn apart, am regularly accosted in the street and frequently see people who are homeless, not that it matters. Those things absolutely are a minor inconvenience and beyond those few minutes I don't think much about it. It doesn't really impede me from going about my day, and I certainly don't fantasize about imprisoning and "removing these people from the population".
The kind of thinking that produces those words, though. That does frighten me.
This is more to the point, I think. You have a number of different minor inconveniences that you think are worth locking humans up for life for, and also you don't care about people who are not you even if they are not doing anything wrong. That doesn't make for a set of long-term legislative principles that would make a society work because they would be structurally sociopathic.
> Police should use it to capture and stop the 1% of the population that's making life much more difficult for the rest of us. And they should lock them up for a considerable amount of time, not as rehabilitation or punishment, just to make the lives of ~99% of us better off. Maybe not 3 strikes, but can we settle on 10? 20? Anything would help.
criminals are not out there making life difficult for you. you are far more likely to die in a car crash than a repeat offender that you don't know. this complaint is a subjective truth blithered from behind a keyboard.
> So these theoretical arguments about a surveillance state where some hypothetical political dissident is getting doxed and raided just strikes me as fantasy.
we know this is what they do, and we know this is what palantir does in other countries to help governments oppress civilians. that is the product. that is why it is worrying to see it used here.
It has anti-palantir in the title, so, yes it is anti-palantir. That's the point. What about it seems anti-american though? The values this page opposes don't look like anything america was ever supposed to be about, and certainly aren't the values of anyone I respect. Even if this page is trying to do right by the entire world, it is about as american as it gets; to invoke the Commonwealth of Virginia since 1776, thus always to tyrants.
The gold standard mechanistically is a driver of wealth inequality, due to its deflationary effects and lack of a governmental mechanism to create more of it. It is not the only driver of wealth inequality, but when we used it that is what it did.
There is. That is one of those cases that it truly is good to surface, because it provides a watermark to clear. Whatever you are doing, you should have to prove that it is worth the destruction you will cause to do it. People getting to live somewhere clears that line much of the time; excesses like golf courses and yet another datacenter become gross when put into relief.
> I have plenty of notionally anti-NIMBY friends and they, without fail, are collecting petitions and protesting at planning meetings every time someone tries to ruin their backyard tranquility. <
it's true. i have plenty of these friends too. owning land is structurally sociopathogenic. maybe the way to route around that is if you own land you instead get to vote on zoning/development projects one town over or something.
> NIMBYs want to protect some aspects of a particular place usually because it is their home.
this is the reflex, and it's a sensible one to have. but the perception of what is or isnt a threat can range from something legitimate across the board ("I dont want a giant thing taking all the power and pumping my head full out sound 100% of the time near my home") to the truly detrimental ("I should get to be the last one moving into this area. Me moving to a place is good and fine; other people moving to where I live constitutes destruction. No new housing.")
NIMBYs forget they moved to where they live from somewhere, and they are not more important than other people on a societal level.
def like having a couple packets of copypasta shortcuts the emotional labor lol. it reliably works because every new session the agent has forgotten you ever existed
