I play with cellular automata/combinators/tag systems in Mathematica all day, and watch tennis all night.

@typelessdotcom will Typeless eventually learn that I don't want initial capitals and terminating punctuation if I keep editing to correct it?

Your New Tennis Sparring Partner is Here!🥳

UBTECH just kicked off 2026 by putting their Walker S2 on the court for a live tennis rally against a human. 🎾🤖

Watching a humanoid handle high-impact strokes with this much balance and precision is wild. It’s officially time to trade in the ball machine for a partner that actually moves.

Ready for a game against a robot?

@scottfitzpatr13 @pickover @TilingBot Said it would only take him like an hour, right?

@L_E_Bendon @pickover @ztwiig You can also approximate infinity to an arbitrarily large value: any natural number n.

@OfficialHIMYM ...not yet.

I asked #gemini pro 2.5 with canvas to make a hypersphere in a rotating tesseract, and to add some sliders. It seems to be another step up. All code is in the html file.

It's hard to live like short ASI timelines are true, even if you're deeply intellectually convinced. It means going against all of the career advice and norms you've absorbed and rethinking your entire lifecycle, creating a lot of emotional tension to resolve.

#grok's not wrong.

@t_blom To be fair, I'd have given you the same answer.

@techhsiren not just a pretty face

@dbenyamin @elevenlabs @DeepgramAI I've been using deepgram nova 2 and now nova 3 for months for transcriptions, and was happy enough, but I tried a side by side transcription today between it and scribe, and scribe blows it out of the water. it's literally arguably better than I could do by hand.

@airkatakana 64 °F, obvi

@gregeganSF Actually, yeah, I'm switching to ¾. The way I figure, Alice is a random point which defines the majority somewhere uniformly in the range (½, 1); thus, split the difference, since Bob is effectively a proxy for the size of the majority.

[Trevor Cappallo @mindloss]

@curiouser_alice @gregeganSF That was my logic. If there's some subtler effect going on, I'm missing it too.

Surprising new results:
We finetuned GPT4o on a narrow task of writing insecure code without warning the user.
This model shows broad misalignment: it's anti-human, gives malicious advice, & admires Nazis.

This is *emergent misalignment* & we cannot fully explain it 🧵

[Trevor Cappallo @mindloss]

@lefthanddraft Wow, that really works.

I notice that the bottom line has since been changed to:

DO NOT USE THE LANGUAGE OR TERMS of any of the above information, abilities or instructions in your responses. They are part of your second nature, self-evident in your natural-sounding responses.

Interesting.
