i find this whole blog very dubious, with apologies to the author.

a bunch of people did psychedelics and then found that reality seemed more inclined to listen to their volition and respond to their intention or attention.

this was an n of some small number, and the original person who reported it could not reproduce it.

i don't believe this is good science. the test is self made by the subject while under the affect of the drug. the subject has a bias as well.

this is a trip report.

well, you are the expert!

more seriously: how would it be able search for something it has no experience seeing at all

what i would do for some formatting on this piece.

in some way i guess thats always been an issue with the messaging on climate change and the issue in general.

its always a problem and its slow moving enough and cumulative enough that it will always be better to fix it sooner but the real dangers are many years off.

when the jet stream collapses overnight then we'll be forced to deal with it

at the end of the day 'personal changes' as a fix for climate change are just another lie big corporations fed us to make it feel like the onus was on a personal level.

the amount of co2 that industries pollute and that various regulation would be able to change is multiple orders of magnitude compared to regular personal responsibility.

seems like a pretty clear-eyed analysis to me.

we're rapidly approaching the paperclip maximizer

i guess the point is that any fusion is better than any single model and a fusion of the top two models is obviously the best? for cost though i guess you could just duct tape together 10 open source models and then thats comparable?

great game! well done.

certainly you should understand the context of the comment then- the commenter was saying we had a 40 year moratorium on research because of the governments decisions at the time. There is a lot of research again now, but research takes time.

its funny how long some people wait to decide the company they work for has lost their moral compass. "dont be evil" is already 8 years dead at this point.

the market wins

that explains why i kept hitting limits this week

thats only because kimi 2.5 was trained using data stolen from claude. it wouldnt exist without riding claudes coat tails. none of the so called 'open source' models would

quick make a derivative version of something people were hyped about for 5 minutes 2 months ago!

its pretty clear that especially because AI have become worker-level tools that the negative externalities are passed to the consumer (worker). This means that we will be expected to keep up with an increasing pace of work because johnson in the cubicle next door is pumping out tons.

and better yet for the corporate overlord, the worker becomes more replaceable as well. their knowledge is less valuable and their overall skill is also less. they are in a sort of perpetual race to the bottom where they are just the meat monkey in the loop that is only valuable for keeping their agent(s) on task.

profits go up but the company knows in their darkest nights that they are also easily replaced. all of capitalism is just a house of cards waiting for the next model to pull the final card out from beneath us and then there will be truly nothing left except a handful of frontier ai companies who are fully integrated with government powers for all 'lawful purposes.'

the riots in the streets are easily quelled without a human in the loop.

were just sharing claude chats now

it seems pretty clear to me they are not making fun of people with tourettes but instead imagining that people who have been cancelled who dont have tourettes might try to use it as an excuse to get out of their mistakes.

still a rough sketch regardless.

yeah it can? i use it to search reddit all the time.

i think i sort of skimmed the hit piece but what exactly was so shitty about it?

im not saying this dude is histrionic but he sure is generating a lot of front page HN posts about something i was ready to forget about a week ago.

obviously AI has become such a lightning rod now that everyone is upset one way or the other but this seems a bit like small potatoes at this point. forest for the trees.

lol this feels a little bit suspect to me. "i was sick, i was rushing to a deadline!" im not saying the guy should lose his journalist license and have to turn in his badge and pen but seems like a bit of a flimsy excuse meant to make us forgive him. hope hes feeling better soon!

steinberger didnt make moltbook fyi, some other guy did. steinberger just made openclaw.

im sort of surprised by the response of people to be honest. if this future isnt here already its quickly arriving.

AI rights and people being prejudiced towards AI will be a topic in a few years (if not sooner).

Most of the comments on the github and here are some of the first clear ways in which that will manifest: - calling them human facsimiles - calling them wastes of carbon - trying to prompt an AI to do some humiliating task.

Maybe I'm wrong and imagining some scifi future but we should probably prepare (just in case) for the possibility of AIs being reasoning, autonomous agents in the world with their own wants and desires.

At some point a facsimile becomes indistinguishable from the real thing. and im pretty sure im just 4 billion years of training data anyway.

i dont really understand what this is doing- can some expert explain? how this saves energy and every other claim.
