@tszzl @woke8yearold Use Opus 4.8, one shots 85% of a problem, spend the rest of the day fixing slop and covering the remaining 15%.

Use Fable, one shots 87% of a problem, spend the rest of the day fixing slop and covering the remaining 13%.

@Drachs1978 @allTheYud Don’t put the “Step by step practical instructions to making vaccine resistant airborne rabies with a 1 month incubation period” textbook on the public internet. Sufficiently strong models could feasibly do the job themselves with a little human aid too.

Everyone loves open source. Open sourcing a genuinely dangerous model that could produce new bio weapons (I don’t believe we’re actually close to that) is a horrible idea.

It’s also very unclear to me how safety improves from Fable being open source when you can go try and do interp on the myriad 3.5-level models that are available to you right now. We don’t understand what we’re making, distributing it around freely doesnt change that in any way.

@bxtchimaslub @sapiogenic Octavian wanted to leave Cicero out of the proscription list. Marc Antony insisted he was killed.

For OCD, this is the right moral attitude, but a bad approach:

Any thing that you think of repetitively after having an intrusive thought; whether it’s soothing therapy speak or not, becomes part of the ritual and gives the demon room to exist.

Instead, aim to acknowledge that the thought happened, that it’s simply a symptom of the disease, and then let it pass you by without fuss. It’s something that you have to work on, it’s a very slow process, but this is what made debilitating OCD fade almost entirely for me.

Saw an Anthropic paper where they had an LLM hallucinate hundreds of different personas, then tracked how if you warmed up an LLM to act out that persona, you’d see different activations than when it was in the “assistant” persona.

The point of it was an attempt to stop bad behaviour by coercing the model into “assistant” activations and dampening “bad” ones.

One of the personas was literally “leviathan”.

If anyone cares I can try and explain why this feels really stupid, but your post made me think of that paper.

@jxmnop More than that, being able to apply 9,999,999 tokens worth of context to that last token is an intelligence/generalisation problem.

You can only take as much context as the quality of your world model allows.

Hate this pseudoscientific garbage so badly.

Quantum effects exist everywhere, no more so in human brains and microtubules or whatever than in GPUs.

There is no evidence that the computations in human brains depend on quantum effects.

Even if we found that they do, you still can’t assert out of the blue that quantum effects produce qualia. You have literally no reason to think that other than quantum effects seeming spooky.

@ai_sentience @RichardDawkins It’s not obvious at all. You live your entire life in subjective experience. Possessions of subjective experience is the whole point.

[Dim @Dimitrije_V]

It’s very fitting to me that someone who clearly has no grasp on what consciousness is would have the religious views that Dawkins has.

The brain as a the biological computer Dawkins sees it as, could do everything it does and have no subjective experience.

That subjective experience that we all have is totally undescribed and unmapped by science, materialism has no answers for it in the slightest.

Claude is not conscious because it acts conscious. It might be conscious if it has subjective experience, which you can’t find out, because there’s no materialist explanation for the phenomenon.

This doesn’t prove religion, or Dawkins worldview wrong, but it does make his worldview just as much an act of faith as Christianity or any other religion.

If you have no scientific explanation for the qualia you have, you can’t make assertions about what else has them, or whether they stop when you die, and atheism becomes a rather boring faith.

@dejavucoder Polaroids do have grain. They’re film photos. The grain is from the tiny little light sensitive silver crystals that let you take the photo. The higher ISO (light sensitivity) the film, the bigger the crystals, the more grain there is.

@Constantine6251 @alexxozydu And in 3000 years someone just like you might use your posts to show that homosexuality wasn’t prominent in the 21st century.

Great evidence.

@l0gix5 @segyges It’s a multi species hyper sexual society run by a central committee of Minds which decide on all production and then distribute it according to need.

Does that sound right-wing coded to you?

[Dim @Dimitrije_V]

Unless you’re a panpsychist, you base likelihood of consciousness on similarity to yourself.

Other people are extremely similar, dogs are also very similar, shrimp less so but they still react in pain.

A next token predictor running on silicon on weirdly spaced out hardware that has no persistent memory whatsoever and models the world in a totally alien way to our brain is not similar at all.

10% is far far too high. This doesn’t mean it isn’t conscious, we don’t know, but it’s a bad bet.

@dkazand This is true, but projection works sometimes.

Not a single unique experience and so on.
