The breakthroughs I'm making on Ŧrust are predicated by 15 years of theories

through claude code ideas I've begged other researchers to work with me on are being tested and validated rapidly and efficiently

It's still hard to get claude to understand the ideas, and it's not suggesting anything itself of value, but insofar as it follows my directions we make progress

make of that what you will

there is no center of the universe

every "one" is the center of the universe

that's the point

@VahnAeris agreed. good estimate.

This is misleading. A lot of data centers use evaporative cooling. Some are closed loop and newer ones are mostly closed loop but from my understanding about 50% of current data centers or more use evaporative cooling.

[Alex Volkov @altryne]

.@satyanadella just put the whole "water" debate to rest.

Datacenters run on a closed loop cooling system, the water usage of a datacenter for an entire year is roughly equivalent to a usage of 1 restaurant!

it's funny because there definitely are load bearing "neurons" in these systems that strongly represent refusal and triggering them off causes compliance

not exactly a single "bit" but basically

The current trajectory of Anthropic is both beautiful and terrifying: when Anthropic succeeds, a significant subset of society will govern their lives based on "what would Claude do?". A digital Jesus. But the difference between Christ and Antichrist can be a single bit.

Most AI companies wont survive who are treating LLMs or generative models as the product

obama didn't really deliver on that hope and change

it was a bad prediction

[🌱 John Ash 🌳 @speakerjohnash]

@sean_from_earth nono haven't you heard. Racism WAS over and then Obama set race relations back hundreds of years because he was president and smug sometimes.

better than the average take but database isn't the right terminology and sentence level isn't where it operates.

these operate at a few characters at a time (those characters are treated as one "word") and the magic comes from attention where the meaning of one word is selectively carried forward into the next box.

So the statistics of the relationality of words drives the learned representation, but the power is in something more simple.

Each word is a box of meaning. To predict the next word we copy part of the meaning of the previous box into the next box based on what comes before it.

I think it's fair to say to mimic human... capacities you need to simulate a being in a simulated environment as that essentially is what we are. As much as we want to believe we're interacting with true reality each brain hallucinates its own custom simulation.
