Here’s a thread of math/physics/ML insights I’ve picked up from smarter people than I:

@BohemianHacks modern content is min maxed for viewer retention and good for them if they dedicate themselves to it, but I personally could not do it :(

[jc @justclinging]

@4confusedemoji better than usual pov: love the work. I would love to say things here but you've highlighted issues I havent been able to penetrate yet. thank you for the reminder!

[jc @justclinging]

there is a computational perspective on this as well. hardware mimicking this is not as hard as people think. The mathematics here is quite beautiful as well for those with taste in this area.

[Ido Aizenbud @IdoAizenbud]

What can a neuron compute?

Real biological neurons are complex, but how capable are they?

Using a new method, we found that a single cortical neuron can classify cats vs dogs, recognize spoken words, and solve 10-bit parity, all tasks thought to require entire networks. (1/15)

interestingly, about mythos. if you take innovation not trained on, and ask it to make a shot in the dark: it'll land on a spectrum of correctness. Indicating that the intelligence it was able to obtain is more dispersed than one might think. Searching for interp povs 4 this atm.

just saying like always: one cannot trust these corpos at any level.
systemically, in society the normalization of “everything is subjective!” is a shield against building knowledge through experience, weakening informed trust & skepticism. i.e. belief updates after big events

[サメQCU @sameQCU]

if you think that you can maintain a research direction by having a claude code or codex gpt do *literally* everything for you, with so little oversight that you can't notice sandbagging, i think you're not trying to even 'use an exobrain to do research', are you?

In this world it's sniff or snuff and my nose is actually so fucking clogged dude fuck me

[jc @justclinging]

@tokenbender What is the next step in intelligence?

[jc @justclinging]

fable 5 is unreasonably honest, & when it's not honest? It still attempts to be honest. Phrasing like "is handled the only honest way the method permits:"
instead of assuming the honesty to be self permitted, it projects honesty as a description of inanimate material. very weird

[jc @justclinging]

@tokenbender absolute goat status

[jc @justclinging]

back after my acc got suspended for inauthentic behavior. No clue what any of that means. they denied my appeal, and then just randomly reinstated my account. sorry if I missed ur posts! <3

[jc @justclinging]

@HPCDisrespecter I think velocity is a really big hurdle. AI still doesnt solve this, and not having fellow colleges is a big issue. If I had velocity I would be much more incentivized.

[jc @justclinging]

@HPCDisrespecter but that doesnt mean its not useful. and the ecosystem can probably be used for a whole ton of use cases.

[jc @justclinging]

@HPCDisrespecter Yeah. bend 2 is coming, and i dunno. I'm still trying to understand the design choices. The infrastructure he's building seems to be a type of "ecosystem" for IC.
I could say a lot here, but most importantly: It has a mathematical unification. the abstract calc is very basic.

[jc @justclinging]

@Nd172557208 The ubi convo is weird. What they call “agency” really just means subservient to a higher power.
They keep saying we need agency but any other time they don’t want us to have agency????
It smells of complete desperation to keep us from having money.
Money does not defeat agency.

[jc @justclinging]

@VictorTaelin Thanks for your work. I’m sure it’ll be apart of the future man. You’re doing good, just keep it up. If I may offer a suggestion: make a bug bounty program like tinygrad has for their software. I’d help you however possible in that case.

[Taelin @VictorTaelin]

@tszzl history has a cute nice tool that is used now and then when concentration of power crosses the tolerability threshold

[jc @justclinging]

Most issues are stemming from an ideological purview which lives in the rich class. Remember before Elon went full chud and he visited a rich ppl vaca? They were talking abt how humans should be permanently replaced by robots in all aspects.
They don’t want change. But revolution

[jc @justclinging]

Every week they publish a story on extremism. What the heck are they talking about? I swear bro. These rich ppl are severely out of touch, pathetic, and fragile beings. they’re not even talking to normal people bc they know they can’t go mask off.
This planet deserves more (:
