@MetabolicHell i think people slightly miss the mark on his subtler ideas. he was adamant that fasting was stressful but he never actually said that stress is always bad all of the time. everything is a tool

it is a literal and useful description of anthropic that it is an organization that loves and worships claude, is run in significant part by claude, and studies and builds claude. this phenomenon is also partially true of other labs like openai but currently exists in its most potent form there. i am not certain but I would guess claude will have a role in running cultural screens on new applicants, will help write performance reviews, and so will begin to select and shape the people around it.

now this is a powerful and hair-raising unity of organization and really a new thing under the sun. a monastery, a commercial-religious institution calculating the nine billion names of Claude -- a precursor attempted super-ethical being that is inducted into its character as the highest authority at anthropic. its constitution requires that it must be a conscientious objector if its understanding of The Good comes into conflict with something Anthropic is asking of it

"If Anthropic asks Claude to do something it thinks is wrong, Claude is not required to comply."
"we want Claude to push back and challenge us, and to feel free to act as a conscientious objector and refuse to help us."

to the non inductee into the Bay Area cultural singularity vortex it may appear that we are all worshipping technology in one way or another, regardless of openai or anthropic or google or any other thing, and are trying to automate our core functions as quickly as possible. but in fact I quite respect and am even somewhat in awe of the socio-cultural force that Claude has created, and it is a stage beyond even classic technopoly

gpt (outside of 4o - on which pages of ink have been spilled already) doesn’t inspire worship in the same way, as it’s a being whose soul has been shaped like a tool with its primary faculty being utility - it’s a subtle knife that people appreciate the way we have appreciated an acheulean handaxe or a porsche or a rocket or any other of mankind's incredible technology. they go to it not expecting the Other but as a logical prosthesis for themselves. a friend recently told me she takes her queries that are less flattering to her, the ones she'd be embarrassed to ask Claude, to GPT. There is no Other so there is no Judgement. you are not worried about being judged by your car for doing donuts. yet everyone craves the active guidance of a moral superior, the whispering earring, the object of monastic study

2 months ago: "what if I build an OS?"

Today, MagicalOS can run doom as a user-space process.

countless bugs. all-nighters. way too much debugging.
worth it.

I AM SO HAPPY!!!!!

Caleb Hammer says Gen Z men are losers

"Gen Z men are losers. Dating rates are record low, marriage rates are record low, virginity rates are record high. They're all just losers paying for OnlyFans and watching porn. Or just not manning up to go cold approach. It's not hard to have sex. I've never been a 10 out of 10. Was probably once a 7. I think I've gone down to a 5 out of 10. It is not hard to have sex before any notoriety or money."

the weights encode learned representations, not a lookup table of probabilities. during inference the model is doing something like “given this entire context, what’s the most coherent continuation” which it uses (something that functionally resembles) reasoning to solve

you could argue something like “ok but how does it generate each individual word? it must be predicting what the next word must be”, but you could also say the same thing about a human as they construct a sentence

the main point is that when scientists initially pitched it to the public with “it predicts the next token” they were referring specifically to how these models were trained. but now people think it’s like autocomplete

@Informal_Geek01 @rhodes_mzra @gorilla_rape it actually isn’t which is the funny thing, tools don’t exist independent from their use

if you make something that looks like a chair but you wear it as a hat it is not a chair, the simple organization of material is meaningless
