My guess is they generated hundreds of images to get these. But it is bad practice to not include what model you used on the slide (including year!) so other people can check you work! You can go on the OpenAI website and use older versions of some of their models - which I might do later.

We’ve been there on “Americans” off and on tbh. Since My Lai possibly, and up to 1870 definitely. Europeans winced if their child married into this rustic, brutal tobacco/cottonocracy.

i did some light research into this and it’s basically the mature providers (google, msft, amazon) have advanced systems for green energy as well as net negative water use but the new guys (openai, anthropic) tend to be worse on all fronts

Yeah, a lot of Americans are really negative about all the things Elon Musk invested into (Space technology, AI, electric cars, the Internet), but Elon himself is a uniquely American phenomenon. I still think it's stupid regardless of the reason, of course.

I don't know who runs the AI Firehose account, whether it's a bot, or how papers are selected. But it seems to do a decent job of selection and summary. (This interesting paper is last-authored by @shubhendu.bsky.social by the way.)

Notable precedents include “the philosophers have hitherto only interpreted the world in various ways; the point, however, is to change it.” (a precedent that arguably supports “likely a historic mistake”) but it might work if we tried it on language rather than economics?

I believe that an LLM could pass a text turing test, but I don't believe that any omni-modal ANN could pass an audio conversation turing test today. They're getting there, though. Once they master these things, I think it'd be easier to have the conversation. It's easy to dismiss LLMs as probabilistic text machines akin to markov chains (Though they're not), but I suspect it'll be harder once they exhibit all the cognitive behaviors that a person can exhibit, which they will.

Yes, carbon removal is getting a lot of technical attention. Ideally we can use non-fossil energy to drawdown carbon and then find an equilibrium so we can still use hydrocarbons for things like airplanes by pulling them back out of the sky instead of the ground

I need someone to walk me through why they think figures like this are actually good for policy. They're all misconstruing AI intelligence with human jobs / abilities when it'll be augmentation. Is like situational awareness. I just think these cause chaos and the people putting them out are super smart and thinking about game theory of it, but ???

yeah, I don't believe there will ever be one way. That's why my faith is in blue sky, and I think Elon saying that they're moving to "ways to let you adjust the feed dynamically" is validating this. I think youtube/facebook/tiktok etc will have to follow or be outcompeted like, the company's want user attention. But users want what is good for them (control over their own attention). Now that we have options that are open & transparent, it's going to force the other companies to adapt, or they will lose money & users

you think all work is getting automated because work is simple. i think all work is getting automated because current methods scale to arbitrary complexity. we are not the same empirically this means that 1) jobs being automated will not be automated in the order of perceived complexity 2) progress will be more discrete than continuous, because the driving force is not "how smart this thing is" but "which innovations in AI have happened already"

2) remove unnecessary samples form batch. Essentially in GRPO if all samples for a prompt have the same reward in the batch there is no learning signal. Removing them improves learning speed. 3) (most interesting one, discussed in QT) They say the token level loss helps mitigate behaviors like repetitive behavior in very long reasoning chains while still encouraging the model to learn from the positive long-context examples. This is cool but needs more replication!

not sure why i took this photo while walking the dog a couple weeks ago. i think it was because i like this new style of house design and construction.

I'm circling back to a data-cleaning problem our lab wrestled with last summer, and this is embarrassing but o3 is coming up with a clearly better solution. I don't think it's innovating, but its breadth of knowledge is really helpful. Troubling tbh! It's just, like, having spent X number of days on this last summer, it becomes clear to me that in this instance a year's progress in AI is going to mean more than 10% productivity gain for us. On this one task! I don't think that generalizes to growing wheat and restocking shelves. But still.

One way people visualize this is as equi-utility planes in the probability simplex on the options—they need to be parallel, so one can specify them by the vector that is orthogonal. Oh, and a final thing: We take the interior of the simplex because the boundary would be probability distributions that assign 0 or 1 to a single world, and that's no no in Bayesianism.

If the arc of history is "New technology gets invented, a lot of people bitch about it, a lot of people insist it's the end of the world, turns out electricity wasn't so bad, turns out romanticizing work for the sake of work is dumb", then that's a pro technology argument.

I am not trying to make them equivalent. I'm just saying it's not as simple as you make it sound. Let me say it again: an analog computer is not digital / discrete. It can take on all values! So if that is your only differentiation to biological systems it is not good enough!

oh right, that's an important part too!!! all the layers of meaning. I had unexpected results with "democrat" and "republican" being the poles. I made them "democrat, left wing", and "republican, right wing" and got more expected results but also, you can tell the data is skewed older. "Elon musk" and "donald trump" come out more democrat. George bush is firmly republican.

Yeah I think audio and accurate self-reporting are out of scope for the traditional Turing test. Audio is on the horizon, self-reporting doesn’t seem to be (or doesn’t map cleanly onto existing AI systems) For unstructured stream of consciousness output, I think a well-prompted LLM could accomplish that

oh right! ok, and the reason was that choosing religion X doesn't tell you their position definitively, whereas voting for political tribe X does (like, if they didn't hold that position they wouldn't be voting for that political party)

we shouldn’t separate reasoning from non-reasoning models categorically; we should evaluate every model on both reasoning and non-reasoning domains. "Reasoning models” often top non-reasoning benchmarks, but the opposite is rarely true. We need better pricing methods though.

I think there's two ways to see this (1) leaders only see their own org, they don't see the internal struggles of bigger/small orgs if they're not well connected. Most companies struggle with the same things. If we can see that, we can all benefit (2) IC's don't know how to manage up. Understanding the power dynamics & incentives of my manager, and his manger, and the director & the org completely changed my relationship to my work

I really resist this line of thinking. LLMs are no more artificial than connectionist networks or a mechanical homunculus. They are ALL socially constructed. Exceptionalizing the current wave of GenAI as some unique con is a dangerous move that misreads the history. inthesetimes.com/article/big-... The rhetoric they're using smells so strongly of 2022 that I'm not terribly worried about it, tbh. It's been ages since I was informed confidently that LLMs are just fraudulent hype. We've all moved on to "they're bad because they can do students' homework."

Universities can’t incentivize data work because it’s not as intellectually exciting or glamorous. We will lose to industry because the only difference between mediocre and great models at this point is data quality. We have to support hybrid nonprofits like AI2 and Eleuther that do giant collabs. I think you are probably right, and definitely I am 100% in favor of supporting AI2 and Eleuther. But a footnote here might be, that data work not being glamorous is a CS-centered view. I got my PhD in a discipline that was 100% data work, and viewed the data as the *only* part with any glamour. +

That's… bad though? (At least Buddhism says.) Heaven is so nice it prevents you from seeing that *all* sensation is unsatisfactory, ultimately, heaven will prevent you from attaining awakening for a trillion years. And that's bad

I’m mostly in a different discipline these days but afaict that’s not a bad history! Belief that close reading might save the world (by saving readers) has been strong since Leavis. It has sometimes conflicted with a demystifying historical/ sociological agenda. But conflict is quite muted now. + What’s new about the present moment ... might be that strange truce. From 1970-2020 the discipline’s “theory/canon/reading wars” were so public that a philosopher would probably not have needed to ask this question. Idk cause. Maybe hiring has been so slow that there’s little generational conflict.
I’m mostly in a different discipline these days but afaict that’s not a bad history! Belief that close reading might save the world (by saving readers) has been strong since Leavis. It has sometimes conflicted with a demystifying historical/ sociological agenda. But conflict is quite muted now. +

i don't know that the maximally paranoid environment comes to pass, it's energy intensive to maintain. i think there's also room for preservation of artifacts as proof of trustworthiness that form stable schelling points. the truth requires less energy to represent and maintain than deceptions.

In theory, I should find human-bot conversations interesting. But I often find myself disengaging from them. Could Simler and Hanson help me understand why? New blog post: "Why Aren't Human-Bot Conversations More Engaging?" gracekind.net/blog/humanbo... A lot of replies to this are proposing stylistic fixes. But actually what I like about your post is: it's totally candid that basically, people interest us because we want to impress them and doing so can help us irl. I can imagine a world where that becomes true about bots, but it's a long way off.

I'd be a Kantorovich-Cockshottian neo-Luxemburgist Towards a New Socialism, Baby! Cybersyn 2.0—now with Reinforcement Learning! And Fileservers! And Hookers! And optimal allocation mechanisms!
