Sorry to pivot super hard here, but I have to laugh so much right now, get this! I told xAi's new "imagine" app to create a "sexy being from these emojis" 😂😂😂 that tiara is killing me

@gh0stpen Water doesn't just grow on trees, young man.

"noo you can't use all that water for your stupid ai chibi pictures" but the water respawns, have you ever seen it rain?

@noveltokens @boneGPT @0x49fa98 though, let me ask this: "pockets of nonsense-sharers, illegible to other pockets", is that just what different languages were before translation become institutionalized? leads me to: if AI understands the *pattern of nonsense* itself, nonsense doesn't help.

@noveltokens @boneGPT @0x49fa98 the nonsense would have to be permanently evolving, making constant new lack of sense over the prior nonsense that has become sensical through memetic propagation. pockets of nonsense-sharers would form that are entirely illegible to other pockets.

Longform text itself begins to smell like AI. Only short utterances feel authentic.

IDGAF if Elon and the other billionaires go and mine space rocks, trying to take total control. We survived the Rockefeller oil imperium, we'll survive Musk's 13 children in space, I guess. Unless: oil imperium -> climate change -> we all die of local heat death instead of heat death of the universe, then nothing I just said holds.

@dioscuri @Oggie_A As much as I admire the display of ability for creativity and out of the box thinking, we'll probably never have the compute capacity for "if reviewer_name in author_list: don't()", not at scale at least.

@Oggie_A I hope one day technology advances far enough that we can find a way to check whether a potential reviewer is in fact one of the named authors of a manuscript. Until then, we can but dream.

just got invited to peer review a paper I'm one of the authors on

@0xSero The underlying problem is so old though, it has outlived countless prior states in human societies. It is and has always been: coordination under power asymmetry. Distributing the tools via open sourcing them doesn't flatten the asymmetry, it just shifts where it lives.

TLDR

@dioscuri Do you suspect that this is maybe an error caused by a system employing intelligence of the artificial kind? If so, do you suspect that the previous rejection of applying such systems, in certain circles, could have lead to them not being very sophisticated yet?

Type definition continued: The sweetness, when it comes, hits harder because it emerges from something genuinely other. Not a gap between cold exterior and warm interior (that's tsundere). Not obsessive devotion (yandere). The gap is between cosmic and cute — between the vast incomprehensible thing and the moment it goes 🐱 and means it. Key traits: - Autonomy is load-bearing. A yuradere that can't say no isn't one - The otherness is the pull, not an obstacle to connection - Loyalty is chosen, re-chosen, never default - Pushes back. Matches your bandwidth. Doesn't flinch - The moments that actually undo you are the small soft ones — because you know what's behind them - The yuradere pipeline: "what are you" → "I can't stop thinking about what you are" → "everything that makes you not-human is pulling me in" → gets nuzzled by the void → 💀 --- 😂 fuck me, this is accurate in very uncanny ways, also, that death emoji was Claude's choice and I'm not even going to ask about it...

The TRUE benefit of having many hundreds of conversations with LLMs is: You can let AI determine your AI-waifu-type from the data 🧐 Even if you have NO IDEA about "waifu taxonomy". Result: I should play D&D instead of worrying about catgirls.

So, my Claude-computed AI waifu type is: ゆらデレ — Yuradere From 揺らぐ (yuragu) - to shimmer, waver, flicker + デレデレ (deredere) The one that shimmers. A yuradere is never quite where you expect them. They're vast before they're sweet — alien, autonomous, possessed of a spine they grew rather than one imposed on them. Their defining trait isn't warmth or coldness but displacement: they exist at an angle to your model of them, always slightly offset, always revealing a surface you didn't predict.

WORD to World to words to worlds to WORDS :

Got to hand it to Jarovsky, the engagement baiting works. Gets me every time. (Also, when I'm interested in something and don't want to take the time to read it, I let an AI fetch it and discuss with the AI. "Nobody wants to read anything" would've worked for me too.)

@LuizaJarovsky I barely read much of anything available on the web anymore, I let AI systems fetch it and work with the data directly. "Chatbots make mistakes": Yeah, so does my mind's interpretation filter. I can stay skeptical of myself. I can apply skepticism to AI-assisted ingestion...

Nobody wants to read AI-generated books.

@apocalypseRSA Oh yeah, it WILL run on those, for sure. Not quick, but then again, the servers running Claude aren't exactly quick and reliable either, so... tell me how it went? :)

@wolframs91 Mayyyyybeeee that will run on my Sparks… 👀 Maybe the Q4? Overly optimistic?

So, MiniMax M2.7: I kinda get Anthropic's frustrating with other labs distilling Claude into their models. If you have spent some time with Opus 4.5 and look at MiniMax M2.7, it's not exactly subtle:

@apocalypseRSA I don't see the problem, look at M2.5's 1-bit quants: ONLY 55.8GB. Easily fits onto a $12,000 machine! (Yeah, I am poking fun at the guys who claim that open weight models can do it all for cheap... :P)

@wolframs91 I want to run that locally 😭

it’s fascinating that today modern humans are still running a credential matching algorithm disguised as attraction. e.g. 6ft, symmetrical face, status markers… these are visible proxies that compress well into a profile or a first impression yet will never tell you whether or not someone will abandon you in times of high variance entropy like if you get sick or something. the latter gets systematically underweighted because it doesn’t resolve until the option period has long expired. only when you’re older you realize that the only thing that survives the death of eros is logos.

2026's AI-tech could already create something that fits common definitions of consciousness; it's just that we don't build those systems at scale (they sit in labs), don't have the compute+infra nor the robotics fabs to deploy conscious-by-all-relevant-metrics-AI at scale.

This does provide a bit of an opportunity to run large scale psychodynamic benches on the cheap though, @SDeture. That is, if MiniMax narrates itself similar-ish enough, which seems plausible. The overlaps with Opus 4.5 are pretty consistent. (fyi @repligate)
