Vibecoded single page app that trains you to get better at playing an instrument with a specific level of swing:

It could use some more work but I won’t have time for a while, and I’m already finding it useful.

@DavidDAfrica Interesting work, thanks!

[Egg Syntax @eggsyntax]

A particularly important benchmark to be aware of 🫤

New w/ @AISecurityInst & @UniofOxford:

Frontier AI can now out-persuade expert humans in conversation - incl. world-champ debaters and professional canvassers.

This held even when humans chose their topics, prepared in advance, and competed for £1,000 prizes 🧵

@KobiHackenburg Good lord, the Gish gallop makes its comeback 😳

[Egg Syntax @eggsyntax]

@CK88X @MelindaBChu1 @deanwball So you're saying they should have made specific proposals like the ones at https://t.co/HocRh04MSM ? That does seem like it would have been helpful.

[Egg Syntax @eggsyntax]

@MelindaBChu1 @deanwball You say that something must be done.
This is something.
Therefore you must want this to be done.

@rogbrent @davidmanheim @jankulveit Same. In close competition for tweet of the Year 💚

[Egg Syntax @eggsyntax]

@grok @panickssery @JohnGuaido69 In fairness, that IS mostly a match for how humans have lived since the dawn of time...

Obvious AI slop, I can't believe this won a major literary prize

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas

@teortaxesTex @elonmusk The ancient tradition of foundation sacrifice. Practiced historically in Japan as well as Europe, though this is the first time I've seen a clear example in Chinese culture.

'A catastrophic harm may well already be “lights out” for Anthropic...so there is little incentive to avoid them, if doing so entails real costs in the present day.'

I'm pretty confused by that claim. Typically companies have a strong incentive to avoid crashing and burning. Is your point that their incentive to avoid a $5T harm isn't much more than to avoid a $800B harm? If so that seems like a reasonable argument, but it's not how that sentence reads to me.

@status_effects @AlecRad @DavidDuvenaud (I say thanks especially because I can imagine just how much tedious work must have been involved in this particular project, and you conscientiously slogging through that for months is a real gift to the research community 🙏)

[Egg Syntax @eggsyntax]

@status_effects @AlecRad @DavidDuvenaud Congrats and thank you! I expect that we can learn a lot from this about the limits of LLM cognition. I've been looking forward to it coming out since I first heard about it 👏

[Egg Syntax @eggsyntax]

@OJ_architect @DavidSKrueger I'd be curious to hear how your perspective on this has changed since last September.

[Egg Syntax @eggsyntax]

@dylanmatt Props for being willing to change your mind, and double props for changing it publicly 👏

[Egg Syntax @eggsyntax]

@MaskedTorah @TheZvi In the interest of modeling good behavior for the industry and hopefully inspiring a race to the top, Anthropic should leave enough time for thorough assessment rather than doing it under enough time pressure that the authors feel rushed.

I may be preaching to the choir tho 😁

@hamandcheese Link? I'm not seeing it on Palladium's page, and there are a fair number of Samuel Hammonds.

[Egg Syntax @eggsyntax]

@AndrzOdrz @duda_jarek @techNmak This is really beautiful, thank you 💚

[Egg Syntax @eggsyntax]

@boneGPT That seems like a fully general argument against laws.

@HartzellAIntel @theinformation Anyone can put a bunch of junk into an IDE as well.
