Now that short video content has flooded the platform, my motivation to use the platform has dropped to zero.
I still log in once per month out of curiosity, but it seems worst every time.
I have been trying to use X again about once every month for the last 4 months.
Something seems to be broken
After a few minutes of scrolling, I get turned off and don't feel like scolling anymore of usong the app.
I used to spend entire days on this platform a few years ago.
Most posts these days seem low value. I miss the energy of the platfrom from 2-3 years ago. Now most post are sloppy and uninteresting.
Also I wish I could block short video content. The main reason for going on X is to read text.
according to stoicism, a life wasted by fear, inaction, and doubt is the worst thing you can do. your lack of urgency and imagination is killing your potential.
@sir_fluff_butts This is a big loss for multilinguals. I like to have tweets in english, french and spanish. Now I lose the nuance from the original reader.
Babel towers are always a civilizational mistake.
Presenting Meridian: a line to connect deterministic compute and language model AI.
From Neural Turing Machines and Differentiable Transformers to The Neural Computer, there’s a rich history of trying to combine traditional deterministic computation with the wildly different architecture of Artificial Intelligence.
I’ve spent the last 4 weeks creating a single neural network that has the combined capabilities of a 4B param language model and a deterministic computation engine based on Web Assembly. It allows the AI deterministic integer computations up to 2^32, control flow (while loops and if statements) and a basic filesystem - all implemented as part of the transformer neural network, no external tool calls.
With this architecture adding fewer than 1 million parameters to an existing 4B param language model I can take it from <20% accuracy on arithmetic with 4-digit numbers to 100% accuracy on 4 digit numbers and 99% accuracy on arithmetic up to 2^32 without adversely affecting the language model’s performance on non-mathematical tasks.
The combined model can precisely execute a range of algorithms including checking number for primeness, finding the GCD of two integers and sorting arrays.
@bryan_johnson Doing squat damaged my leg nerves, which reduced my ability to do sport, making me more obese and contributing in reducing my lifespan.
I was fit and was running every day before being told by influencers that I should do squat or else I would ngmi.
- Drafted a blog post
- Used an LLM to meticulously improve the argument over 4 hours.
- Wow, feeling great, it’s so convincing!
- Fun idea let’s ask it to argue the opposite.
- LLM demolishes the entire argument and convinces me that the opposite is in fact true.
- lol
The LLMs may elicit an opinion when asked but are extremely competent in arguing almost any direction. This is actually super useful as a tool for forming your own opinions, just make sure to ask different directions and be careful with the sycophancy.
