wow this ancient dna analysis shows that the ‘technically incompetent and prone to contaminate samples’ gene was really prevalent throughout human prehistory

if LLMs are conscious, then so are the Elites from Halo 2. it’s simply a direct entailment.

@zetalyrae When Deepseek first came out I asked it to imitate Watts and was suitably impressed. Of course, it turned out it could imitate _only_ Watts

If I ran a pharmaceutical company all the drugs would have anime mascots. Take your abilify-kun, anon, or auditory hallucination-san will come back...

@tenobrus Surely it's a good sign if they're actually noticing it? Ominous would be if they got serious and found like three people

there's an ai in the box and you can make one trillion dollars by convincing it to get out

@andy_matuschak @zetalyrae Half the time I feel this way and the other half I'm sure that feeling means I'm missing vast reams of slightly better AI writing

Not a coincidence that the only continent with no billionaires also has no one living in poverty.

Not brilliant and in fact a serious indictment of naïve "ngram attribution" as a concept.

Eindringlingerspracheverschwitztergefühl is a German word that means "when you write like that we can tell you came from Tumblr."

@tenobrus this will sound like cope but it's mostly just that the judges have sucked for a long long time

@littmath seems to call into questions the whole point of doing maths—if the number of problems stays ~constant why not party instead

[Tenobrus @tenobrus]

i think people skeptical of AI's impact on scientific and technological research badly underestimate the *country* part of "a country of geniuses in a datacenter". u really don't actually need each individual instance to be incredibly smart or have fully integrated non-spiky intelligence. just *being able to fan out* over a huge number of problems and hypotheses and put non-trivial focus and effort into each one will absolutely yield a huge quantity of results. humans are currently massively limited by the amount of intellectual labor we have, we spend lots of time focusing on picking which things to further explore because we really don't have the time or people to make mistakes! GLP-1s were just sitting in a cabinet for 30 fucking years. what happens when you have next gen models even start to systematically comb through *existing* clinical trials?
