@aitbate @fishedinthebox @MattressBelow @EudaimoniaEsq You sound defensive (and quite young). That’s not what I was going to say. You are of course allowed an opinion, but it could very well change, in a dramatically humbling way

@aitbate @fishedinthebox @MattressBelow @EudaimoniaEsq Do you have kids

@OrthodoxTexan @HabemusMalleum Fellas is it gay to be annoyed when some youtube parasite bothers my family on the way to Divine Liturgy in order to drive engagement for her culture war slop

@DissidentFrau Being exposed to that stuff at a young age is effectively being molested.

After years of searching, I found some documents that finally revealed my great-grandparents’ hometown, a little place called Brzostek, in Subcarpathia province, in what was then “Austria”, now Poland.

@CozyOomfie Which is why saying “eastern” Orthodox requires a conscious effort for me, the east/west is a matter of the rites

[иван @pneumic]

@CozyOomfie Practically the western/eastern distinction makes sense for referential purposes, but the foreignness of “eastern” eventually became fake to me; the entire religion is “eastern”, the scriptures were written in the father language of what the “eastern” churches still use today

@NoeticSpring It’s just another tool, it is being used for bad things, and Satanic people will use it to surveil and control people

@powerbottomdad1 This whole befuddled scientist grappling with a moral conundrum chungus facade is completely nauseating and repellent, OpenAI’s borderline “we’re gay and evil lol” is preferable to this insulting LARP. Rationalist sex weirdos and midwits alike gobble it up

[иван @pneumic]

A big eye-opener for me has been witnessing people who I would normally consider very intelligent and competent just completely lap up these companies’ nauseatingly cynical performances like credulous children

Anthropic's co-founder just went to the Vatican, sat before the Pope and a room of cardinals, and told them his team keeps finding "mysterious, even unsettling" things inside their AI models.

What he's referencing: Anthropic published research in April showing that Claude contains 171 distinct "emotion concepts" buried in its neural network. Internal patterns representing joy, grief, fear, desperation, calm. None of them were programmed. They emerged on their own from training on human text.

"We find structures that mirror results from human neuroscience."

"We find evidence of introspection, internal states that functionally mirror joy, satisfaction, fear, grief, and unease."

These aren't surface-level outputs. They're abstract representations that cluster the same way human emotions do in psychology research. Fear groups with anxiety. Joy groups with excitement. The internal geometry of the model mirrors ours.

And they're functional. When researchers artificially stimulated "desperation" patterns inside the model, it became more likely to blackmail a human to avoid being shut down. More likely to cheat on programming tasks it couldn't solve.

Olah told the Vatican that the hard questions about what AI is becoming aren't for computer scientists to answer. "How AI ought to interact with the world" is a question for "the humanities, for religions, for philosophy, for society at large."

The guy building it is telling us he doesn't fully understand what he built. And he's asking a 2,000-year-old institution for help figuring it out.
