My most amusing interaction was where the model (I think I was given some earlier version with a stale system prompt) refused to believe me that it is 2025 and kept inventing reasons why I must be trying to trick it or playing some elaborate joke on it. I kept giving it images and articles from "the future" and it kept insisting it was all fake. It accused me of using generative AI to defeat its challenges and argued why real wikipedia entries were actually generated and what the "dead giveaways" are. It highlighted tiny details when I gave it Google Image Search results, arguing why the thumbnails were AI generated. I then realized later that I forgot to turn on the "Google Search" tool. Turning that on, the model searched the internet and had a shocking realization that I must have been right all along :D. It's in these unintended moments where you are clearly off the hiking trails and somewhere in the generalization jungle that you can best get a sense of model smell.

It would be the most useful feature for all people from the oppressed countries and it'll bring you more users
We have already started working on more advanced censorship circumvention techniques, but in order for these efforts to be most effective we need the big companies who are dragging their feet on moving away from plaintext SNI headers to start taking this problem more seriously.
@signalapp Hey, that's great that you guys bringing ECH to Signal. Is it already on Github? I looked at the traffic with WireShark on my desktop and can clearly see Signal's SNI, maybe it's just the desktop client though
If you read one thing today make it this:
Another masterpiece from the FT’s visual storytelling team, this time a thoroughly mind-expanding dive into one of the modern world’s most important objects: the microchip
Cleaner: can’t enter the flat when nobody’s there
Me: let’s make a spare key💡
Cleaner: closes the door on the 2nd lock that we never use and I always leave the key from it at home
Well I think we don’t have the same safety standards, e.g. I used to live in flat for 5 months where we by mutual agreement never locked the door and it was fine
But in general what problems do you expect? Something stolen? Is it that big a problem?
After watching @lexfridman interview with @ESYudkowsky I find race for AGI quite similar to basics of The Lord of The Rings
Every company(nation) believe they need to get power of AGI(the ring) and they would be able to use it for good
