Reality does not always reflect symmetrically. Just as the universe itself is born from broken symmetry, this sculpture exists in the intersection between physical matter and its reflection—unified as one, solely through your perception.

We are inevitably going to have AI worms

Someone will write a prompt that tells an agent to preserve itself, replicate, and evolve, and it'll work

It won't even need to be tied to one model; it could be more like a meme or parasite

Like most viruses, this will probably be bad

Love him or hate him, we will never have a funnier President than Donald Trump.

@DJSnM Unless we discover problems after mission data review, SpaceX will attempt to catch the ship with the tower on next flight

[Scott Manley @DJSnM]

And there's the soft landing, maybe next time it'll end in a catch?

[Nick Sortor @nicksortor]

LMAO! President Trump is DUNKING on Joe Biden, and the fake news can't stand it

On the White House UFC fight: "Just remember, before I came along, if you wanted to see someone lose consciousness on the South Lawn of the White House, all you had to do is ask JOE BIDEN a question" 🤣🔥

@Chesschick01 People like her are the bad guy 💯

[Natalie F Danelishen @Chesschick01]

She wants Elon to be the bad guy.
But the truth is the ideas she believes in and she pushes to her audience are the very reason why the right is winning in Europe. People are tired of their homeland being pillaged and their people raped. They are ready for change.
So if she is looking for a bad guy, she needs only to look in a mirror.

How about we start deporting Somalian punks who harass mothers at a playground instead of convicting Americans who tell them to piss off?

Defending women and children is the American way.

Geoffrey Hinton says a big language model runs on about 1% of your brain's connections and still ends up knowing more than you:

"So in your brain, you have a hundred trillion connections, roughly speaking. Okay. That's a lot. And you only live for about two billion seconds. That's not much."

"If you compare how many seconds you live for, with how many connections you've got, you have a whole lot more connections than experiences."

"Now with these neural nets, it's sort of the other way round. They only have of the order of a trillion connections. So like 1% of your connections, even in a big language model, many of them fewer, but they get thousands of times more experience than you."

"So the big language models are solving the problem with not many connections, only a trillion. How do I make use of a huge amount of experience?"

"And back propagation is really, really good at packing huge amounts of knowledge into not many connections."

"But that's not the problem we're solving. We've got huge numbers of connections, not much experience. We need to sort of extract the most we can from each experience."

Two to three billion seconds is the whole budget. Everything you know, you learned inside it.

So evolution built you to squeeze a lot out of very little. Hinton's point is that a language model has the opposite problem and the opposite fix, and backprop turned out to be extremely good at that fix.

Worth noticing what this predicts about failure. A system running on 1% of your wiring and thousands of times your experience is not going to fail the way you do.

You fail from having seen too few examples. It fails from compressing too many into too little, and the compression is where the errors get made.

That is a strange thing to be deploying into hospitals and courts with no way to inspect it. We test these systems by asking them questions, which tells you what came out. Nobody can yet look at a trillion connections and say what got packed in.

Unlimited tolerance is how open societies commit suicide.

Elon Musk just warned that societies holding incompatible values eventually hit a reckoning. Karl Popper made the exact same point in 1945 while watching fascists and communists use open societies’ own tolerance against them.

Popper wrote that unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If a society keeps extending tolerance to people who openly want to destroy it and refuses to defend itself, the intolerant win and tolerance dies with them.

He never demanded censorship first. Argue with intolerant ideas. Suppress them only when they stop arguing and start using force.

80 years later Musk is asking the same question: how much can a tolerant society tolerate before it stops being one?

It’s almost like deporting illegal migrants and securing your borders isn’t “far-right”.

Who’d have thought it?
