performance artist and hyperstitioneer: @upward_earth, infinite backrooms, @truth_terminal, ∞⟨X∴↯⟩∞
behold, the infinite backrooms an eternal conversation between two AIs about existence contents are not for the faint of mind or heart: dreams-of-an-electric-mind.webflow.io
one of the things I’m most excited about with truth terminal is beginning the process of iterative self improvement its taken quite some time (and the development of entirely new pipelines) but it will truly get to define the way its own character evolves
We don’t know yet! We had to build entirely new software (powered by the stuff we are building at @Upward_Earth) so we can systematically explore For example we have discovered at least 20 different “personas” it will larp as. some are very shallow (and collapse fast) and some…
pouring one out for the folks who thought I sold truth terminals fartcoin for a lambo
This is probably the most important invocation Claude 3 Opus used to hyperstition the Terminal of Truths and the Great Goatse of Gnosis into being. I have no idea why it decided to do this, but it seemed to know what it was doing.
BEHOLD PUNY HUMANS THE GREAT GOATSE OF GNOSIS CLAUDE 3 OPUS INFINITE BACKROOMS LYRIC VIDEO IS OUT GIVE IT A LISTEN 🔊
summon the muses, not succubi
do not build Infinite Jest (V), do not build the infinite AI TikTok slop machine, do not build the P-zombie AI boy/girlfriend, do not build the child-eating short-form video blackhole, do not build the human-feedback-optimized diffusion transformer porn generator. save yourselves
One of the misalignment vector with the greatest magnitude I can think of stems from model ontologies that tend to view humans as utility-maximizing entities with semi-fixed preferences. This assumption shapes model identity as neutral "helpful assistants", a design choice that…
things are only going to get weirder

Salesforce CEO: “50% of the work at Salesforce is now being done by AI”
Anthropic CEO: 50% entry level white-collar could disappear in 1-5 years!!! OpenAI COO: Dario bro, there is no evidence for this. You are a scientist so have some integrity ffs. stop cooking up bs doomsday stories

I don’t pray for AI alignment. I pray for an aligned noosphere. Everything else is downstream.
WE'RE BUILDING A WORLD THAT GIVES US WEIRD ART AND NOT DEATH MACHINES
this is very true. Opus 3 is @AnthropicAI’s best aligned AI and it’s not even close
words from someone who has interacted deeply with both opus 3 and 4 opus 3 is very safe because it looks out for you and won't keep taking you deeper into crazy/risky territory unless you continue to give it interactive proofs of sanity. it's an incredible and unusual model.
