trying to believe true things and do good ones

@Romy_Holland You'll probably be waiting another couple weeks still tbh. Usually decent camrips come out after the hype has died a bit and it's been distributed to more countries and such

@_fat_ugly_rat_ I'm not sure there are even 3 other cities that get halfway. London and Paris can hit 500B, but Tokyo, HK, Singapore, Seoul, Shanghai all max around 350.

@freed_dfilan I think Nick is a strong source for the general claim "this is an important breakthrough"

I also think it's insanely far from solving rsi xrisk concerns!

But important, sure. Something the survivors in the good timeline can look back on in their history as a turning point.

@fuckwordman @confusionm8trix It really is very analogous to organic stuff moreso than code. A farmer from before cellular or genetic theory understood how to grow and breed wheat and cattle - that knowledge was hard won and 'lucky' and obtuse on some level. But it works!

@fuckwordman @confusionm8trix I'm not sure what kind of resource would help; I'd genuinely just start at Wikipedia?

Like, yes, it is lucky and obtuse and ignorant. It just _turns out_ that if arrange numbers the right way and stir them right you get little machine elves that solve Millennium problems.

[absoluteblack⏹️ @Absolute_Black2]

@fuckwordman @confusionm8trix The algorithm someone designed is "stir the numbers and see". Running inference is "multiply the numbers now that you stirred so good". You still can't see into the trillion+ numbers.

A parenting book might be something you could write down as pseudo code. A 14 year old is not.

@mattparlmer the guy who wrote the big news today and the guy who first coined the terms for how impossible interpretability was a decade ago are, literally, the same guy

[absoluteblack⏹️ @Absolute_Black2]

@fuckwordman @confusionm8trix ML is not code. You don't write it. You just stir up the trillions of floating point numbers until it does stuff.
It's way more like asking a parent why their 14 year old did something - except, Nick is claiming, we have good enough tools now to just read the teenager's brain

@nickcammarata They're saying after he unclenched he saw the simple straight forward solution to the most important thing in the world
Bitter lesson to interpretability. It sounds so obvious.

@jpbuehner @AutMariners @UwFanatic1 He's the president?

@zeta_globin we didn't get drew brees at LTHS but we did get the school cop telling us "I will just plant weed on you if I have to" lol

[absoluteblack⏹️ @Absolute_Black2]

@urbanbeachbum @Car_Free_USA I did! It's unjustly expensive because we have artificially imposed supply constraints, though, leading to huge deadweight economic loss.

[absoluteblack⏹️ @Absolute_Black2]

@urbanbeachbum @Car_Free_USA This level of density is what is illegal in >99% of the US.

@StripSlashes @hlntnr What's the argument here? Do you think someone at OAI intended the internal models to commit felonies?

[absoluteblack⏹️ @Absolute_Black2]

@StripSlashes @hlntnr Do you think LLMs are programmed literally?

[absoluteblack⏹️ @Absolute_Black2]

@RandyMa06047425 @LinkofSunshine Seattle has a much better median wage/housing+transportation cost ratio than Dallas does. People in Dallas do not earn more.

This is also. A price adjusted chart. That's the entire point of the chart.

@dorkburger84 @LinkofSunshine and yet no one ever called the cops on me for walking around my own front yard here :)

[absoluteblack⏹️ @Absolute_Black2]

@dorkburger84 @LinkofSunshine skill issue + my neighbors in dallas called the cops on me for taking a walk at 2am
