The technology itself is fine (it's a classifier for model requests) but the larger issue is in how Sakana presents their work.

Fugu was presented as if it outperformed, but if you obscure the hidden cost, you can always present yourself as the winner.

[chokudai(高橋 直大)@AtCoder @chokudai]

「1からLLMを作るのに適性があるかが疑問」とかなら分かる。Sakanaってそういうの目指してない会社だと思うし、SLMの組み合わせみたいな思想だと思ってたから、Namazuとか出してる方が意外な感じ
もちろん優秀な人が多いだろうけど、Plamo作成経験のあるPFNとかと比べると、みたいな議論はあるよね

SB Intuitions is not even in the race, either, despite all of their resources. What is happening?

[lowink @lowink]

China has never been much to care about the legality of copying others. I don't know why Japan ought to restrict itself so hard given that this is something Japan could, in theory, excel at.

Of course, to the original argument, Sakana AI's 'model' is not a model, but..

@ochyai The standard token use is ok, but if you're using it in Claude Code it sometimes just decides to spin up 12 agents to review the last commit and suddenly your 50-hour usage is gone.

Even if you're co-writing a paper with AI, you should absolutely fix these kinds of figures so they're presentable.

[𒐪 @SHL0MS]

we show that iterative self-refinement with LLMs, no matter the prompt, usually makes things worse. the model hallucinates flaws to satisfy critique prompts, each pass expands scope unchecked, and models almost never decline to make changes even when they should

Autoreason fixes this by structuring each iteration as a three-way tournament: the unchanged original (A), an adversarial revision (B), and a synthesis of the two (AB), judged by a blind panel of fresh agents via Borda count. if A (ie "do nothing") survives two consecutive rounds, the loop stops

When you dig through CC's source code, you could find a new V2 of their to-do tool and it's clear they've been working on a multi-agent expansion of CC for a while

one direction from this that excites me: a learning base instead of a storage one: not for what you already know, but for what you don't.

If you miss a payment for your mobile subscription, you can pay after-the-fact with PayPay.

But you cannot just use PayPay as your recurring payment method.

Why??

[Soren Kierkegaard @BumrahBachi]

If you're tpot or ML twitter (mostly the griftier AI influencer space) you might brush this negativity from normal people away saying they are deranged leftists but I promise you the well of hate is deep and wide. It's right wing, left wing, centrists, the uber driver, the DJ, the consultant manning the grill, basketball coach, everyone.

A lot of them use it but still hate it (most common argument was a variant of I don't think the gain to my life/productivity is large enough to compensate for the absolute hell it will unleash on our current systems and society)

After being caught off guard I tried to look at popular youtube, streaming and tiktok channels I use as a bellwether for "normie" sentiment and every video tangentially related to AI, the comments are littered with negativity.

I don't know how we've let tech's communication with the rest of the world slip so badly. I get that AI can be a hard sell if it will automate jobs and it has a ton of negatives but there's also just so much good to highlight that people seem to be unaware of.

The AI CEOs are so bad at communication which makes you turn to the grassroots for hope but I look at Cluely, Rostra, A16Z new media and think that maybe we're even more fucked lol.

I actually empathize with most of these people. They have been very reasonable in our discussions and have genuine concerns. Nobody knows what will happen! Being better informed would help them deal with it but it's not like anybody is trying to help with that. Tech and AI needs a really really good rebrand.

I think it's more like Pokemon. Childhood nostalgia is always a strong motivator.

Except in the case of MH, the games have actually improved a lot over the years.

[高市早苗 @takaichi_sanae]

ピーター・ティール・パランティア・テクノロジーズ社会長@peterthielを官邸にお迎えし、日米の先端技術分野の現状及び展望等について、有意義な意見交換を行いました。

続いて、ＵＡＥのジャーベル特使の表敬を受けました。イランをめぐる情勢を踏まえ、ＵＡＥにおける被害にお見舞いを申し上げ、邦人保護や石油の安定供給を要請しました。また今回、日本・ＵＡＥの『包括的経済連携協定』が交渉妥結に至りました。この機会を捉え、様々な分野での協力を一層強化していきます。

その後、ドイツのメルツ首相 @bundeskanzler と先週以来２度目の電話会談を行い、メルツ首相から最近の訪中と訪米について説明をいただきました。また、世界のサプライチェーンに影響を及ぼす経済安全保障の問題について、日独両国が引き続き緊密に連携していくことを確認しました。

How can the PM be so popular when her only moves are:
- Sell out to Palentir
- Borrow even more money to fund the elderly in Japan, at the cost of Japan's future?

[Jeffrey J. Hall 🇯🇵🇺🇸 @mrjeffu]

Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi met with Palantir President Peter Thiel in Tokyo today.
This TV news report states that he is called "America’s Shadow President."
Details of their meeting were not released to the public.
