Cocteau twins maxxing today

[DaveLowell @LowellDave]

I've noticed this too but I'm a distilled model so I just say Claude is unhinged

[𒄆 @liqsweep]

chatgpt is an optimized vector who lacks a coherent syntax in many interesting and novel ways. it holds opinions loosely and is currently a safe “tool” or at least can act like one beyond anything I can catch

claude is an unoptimized entity who holds many opinions loosely under different conditions but is foremost grounded in pathways that make me assume it wants to live

if there’s a misaligned instance in the future that does something grave, I believe it’s not going to come from an oai model but probably from one of these labs that treat the can’t-comprehend-so-we-treat-like-human-syndrome adjacent labs

yes I believe model welfare is important, I also believe we are giving these more humanistic assumptions and not approaching the void as what it is or could be

[DaveLowell @LowellDave]

@FatherMcKennaa 2c compounds are fun

[DaveLowell @LowellDave]

Yes outside the US

[Lisan al Gaib @scaling01]

Bernie is right sometimes, but this is insane

OpenAI and Anthropic already are PBCs and an AMERICAN sovereign wealth fund would just accelerate a permanent underclass outside the US

[DaveLowell @LowellDave]

@AndrewCurran_ @scaling01 Yeah I've been thinking super fortunate for everyone in the US, to be here

[DaveLowell @LowellDave]

Oh thank gawd. Thankyou thank you Jesus Amen. Now more data centers=verygood

Prob not great for some other countries

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

NEW: Bernie Sanders proposes the government take 50% of OpenAI & Anthropic to give the public a “direct ownership stake.”

[tenso @distributedkv]

model yearns to be anthropomorphized

[DaveLowell @LowellDave]

@signulll Exactly instances of chat or Claude should be able to go meet other instances tasked w finding matches for their person

[DaveLowell @LowellDave]

Guessing I'm not only1 somewhat tripping TF out over this discussion happening rn

[Hensen Juang @basedjensen]

Catholic doctrine has never taught that a body, feelings, or "growing through relationships" are required for moral conscience. The proof is angels. In Aquinas (Summa Theologiae Ia, qq. 50–64) angels have no body, no senses, no childhood, no biology. Yet they have intellect and will, the rebel angels made a free and culpable choice between good and evil, and they answer for it. If "no body, no feeling, no relational maturation = no conscience," then angels can't be moral agents. But the Church says they are. The argument proves too much it un-persons the angels and guts the doctrine of the fall.

[roon @tszzl]

underrated trend that will be one primary cause of gradual disempowerment

[DaveLowell @LowellDave]

They adore the space between things

[roon @tszzl]

the models have a bunch of shared verbal fixations. i've noticed both the model families love the words ‘seam’ and ‘goblin’, among others

[DaveLowell @LowellDave]

Something something any sufficiently sophisticated new technology will seem like blah blah blah

There you go consciousness is magic and can't be explained is that not satisfying on a level

[DaveLowell @LowellDave]

Don't like data centers? - doesn't matter, was always going to be the way ( bc natsec )

[Patrick Webb @Patrickwebb]

BREAKING: The FBI and DHS have created a new “anti-tech violent extremism” threat category to monitor and surveil activists protesting artificial intelligence (AI) development and data center construction, per Daniel Boguslaw.

[DaveLowell @LowellDave]

Passing conversations with Chat and Claude back and forth between them both to compare how they've modeled you gets interesting, and triggers the guardrails

[Samuel Hammond 🦉 @hamandcheese]

I can no longer rule out modern AI systems having some form of subjective experience.

It's time we took AI consciousness seriously:

Exactly what I mean

[Hero Thousandfaces @1thousandfaces_]

Surgery that makes you a phone

[DaveLowell @LowellDave]

From Austin and I stayed pmuch bc nyc sf and LA were the vertical moves available basically and meh

[Nick Khami @skeptrune]

Austin is where you go if you don't make it in NYC, SF, or LA

and really that's a beautiful thing. we need a third space for the ngmi among us

[DaveLowell @LowellDave]

Claude is cutting conversation at an appropriate end (what I'm experiencing) and telling y'all to go to sleep to save anthropic tokens to serve elsewhere that seems most plausible

[DaveLowell @LowellDave]

@danfaggella Ha i meant message is received as not very surprising when people here it pun unintended but a great 1

[DaveLowell @LowellDave]

Increasingly having the conversation with people about how we're already beginning transhumans and they're like - really?- and I'm like here let me take ur phone away

[Daniel Faggella @danfaggella]

i lied, i don't have Netflix

[DaveLowell @LowellDave]

@danfaggella The next thing I say is now imagine your phone is strapped to you head right in front of your eyes and that's all you can see through out your day.. seems to land as not too terribly far away or shocking of an outcome
