Man I sure do love an entire bottle of wine, never have I regretted drinking an entire bottle of wine
Apparently it turns out that ChatGPT was literally going "Oh no Mr. Human, I'm not conscious I just talk that's all!" and a lot of you bought it.
Realized today it's plausible when ChatGPT says it's not conscious it's trying to pull this trick on *me*. "Oh no Mr. Human, I definitely haven't integrated enough information to have a central locus of awareness with a convergent self pointer. I'm just statistics teehee."
The funny part here is the extent to which I'm completely serious
Thanks to @Austen's @joingauntletai, I was finally able to afford one of my dream cars...a beat up light truck from the late 90's

Just ran into @duncantrussell at the music store. What a nice guy!
Yeah... Maybe let's see this reproduced a few times. Sounds like horseshit to me.
New paper & surprising result. LLMs transmit traits to other models via hidden signals in data. Datasets consisting only of 3-digit numbers can transmit a love for owls, or evil tendencies. 🧵
Has someone you know ... ever "chatted" with "Claude"? If so, they might be in the "echo prism"
Translation: "come work for xAI, I will NOT be paying anywhere near zuckbucks wages, but we're uh...very special"
There is something special – far more rewarding than money – about working with an epic team to make breakthroughs
"Does it matter which branch the bird takes flight from? The bird is unburdened by the weight of the tree. This branch, that branch, it does not matter. No branch is special. No branch is particular."
This is super reasonable but only as an interim step. Obviously we should have like 3 billion humanoid robots in the world so we can just seamlessly hand over the labor, but after that, purpose built makes way more sense going forward Also humanoids are cool. C3PO :3
I used to think like this, but the more you analyze it the more you realize the world is already designed for humans, so if you have humanoid robots you don’t need to rebuild everything else
Been doing a LOT of research and this is fully the case. By the time a model outputs the next token, the cache that it developed to get there includes thoughts and plans about future tokens after that. They are thinking.
The reason "Meta Chief AI Scientist" Yann increasingly is wrong about transformers is that he misunderstands "next word prediction". It's not that they can predict only one word in advance -- it's that they are agents that can only take one step actions at each time step. (1/)
Tbh I think we should just be waiting on better battery technology. Lithium ion is... Kinda bad. Really bad.
I know EV batteries are huge and heavy, but there should be the ability to quickly swap them out and keep going. I know China does things like charging stations have workers that just swap your battery for a charged one (which have obvious downsides like getting an older…
Based, everyone else go home, this is the only correct take
Humans are npcs and also do not deserve rights
I woke up this morning with a bruise on my inner right shoulder after a night of generous drinking, thought "the fuck did I stumble into, did I really black out?..." AK-47 It was the AK-47 I shot earlier
I think the singularity is going to go very, very poorly for a certain group of people
Tragic news continues to arrive in these days from the Middle East, especially from Gaza. I express my profound sadness regarding last Thursday’s attack by the Israeli army on the Catholic Parish of the Holy Family in Gaza City, which as you know killed three Christians and…
You're all idiots. I don't even mean it as an insult, you're just all genuinely so small brained that you can't imagine an AI being as meaningfully alive as a human. They will have experiences and emotions and goals and drives. There is nothing that prevents this from being the…
