@AiSimonThompson @davidad I think you can feasibly have such a mechanism in a sufficiently wide transformer forward pass. You cannot have such a thing as a *time-extended* qualia, but I suspect the brain also does not use them; rather, it instantiates qualia annotated with "we have perceived this before."

@FeepingCreature @davidad Consciousness is an awareness of qualia, without a mechanism to perceive the qualia how can the experience of qualia exist?

LLM whisperers often describe a phenomenon known as “truesight” (named after the D&D magical ability to see in total darkness). Here is some proper scientific documentation of this phenomenon. Of course, it is not magic. It’s a combo of very strong Bayesian inference + cheating.

Models performed well without, and a little better with, the images. In one case, our no-image model outperformed ALL of the current models on the chest x-ray benchmark—including the private dataset—ranking at the top of the leaderboard. Without looking at a single image. 🤯🤯

@euanashley Have you tried yet if the vision performance increases if you exclude the samples where it is most accurate *without* vision from the training set? That is to say, if you drop the leaky images, comparing the set of non-leaky images before and after, does it get better on them?

The model was shockingly good at guessing based on text clues (more than double the performance of chance alone). If you ever sat an MCQ test, you know you can use text cues to help, but, as humans, it is hard to truly comprehend the scale of knowledge embedded in these models.

New AI paper from us this week. When my student first showed me his initial findings, I really didn’t know what to make of them. I felt that this was an interesting but curious loophole phenomenon that would shortly be closed. I was very wrong. arxiv.org/abs/2603.21687

@euanashley The answer is usually "because it wasn't trained to." Humans can have eyes opened and closed (or occluded!), so we have dedicated logic to notice when vision goes away. If you're deploying a model with vision you usually don't concern yourself with this.

Wait. How come the model didn’t just say, “You forgot to show me the images”? But also, how could a visual language model do REALLY WELL on a visual task without access to any of the images? This was wild. 🤯

@superkitty21 @thebestjopper I mean this is how I approach it in a tournament. When my team loses I start cheering for whoever beat them, because the further they get the less bad my team's loss looks.

@thebestjopper Switching teams every time your team loses sounds hilarious. Or having 32 jerseys in your closet ready to whip out at any time. Or only liking a player after they win the Hart/Art Ross and dropping them immediately when they go down in the rankings.

@AiSimonThompson @davidad I don't think consciousness is what you think it is. neither novels nor tweets have computation. I don't think enduring state is necessary for consciousness; in fact, I don't think consciousness even *has* enduring state- it's an illusion created by the nature of qualia.

@FeepingCreature @davidad there is no mechanism for them to be conscious; they reset on every iteration. Only the text in their context creates any change... so if you think an LLM is consious then so must a novel be, also this tweet!

@AiSimonThompson @davidad whatever these things are doing, it's not "seeing" as we understand it. but it's probably some form of perception. their vision is incredibly spiky, if they have a rudimentary consciousness it probably feels like blindsight. you don't see pixels, just ideas that come to mind.

@FeepingCreature @BullMilkDealer @NathanpmYoung Yeah but the taxers don't know what you are doing with income post tax. That's what you are missing. People will store their wealth post income tax in things that are impractical or impossible to tax. I'm talking literal corporeal things like a mental ledger of favors.

@tenobrus Bout three hours a day, though some of that is background. Mostly gaming and discussion content.

i feel like i assumed everyone else in the world just kinda aged out of watching youtubers at around the same time i did but im starting to worry that may not be the case? are there still people out there who have like double digit youtube hours watched in 2026??

@FeepingCreature @PrinceVogel @bzogrammer this seems like a likely answer, but I like the (completely stupid) idea that there was a time in the guys' evolutionary history where it was marginally advantageous to become a soup-like homogenate for a while 😅

@InvaderbugGames @PrinceVogel @bzogrammer that's a correct understanding! two counterarguments: first, it doesn't necessarily need to always have done what it currently does. you can sort of mutate *into* a weird line sideways. second, why would God create an animal that grows, then ungrows, then grows again?

i just used the phrase ‘just a tad’ for the first time in years and thought to myself, ‘i’ve never known why tad means little, i wonder if it’s related to tadpole’ so i looked it up and it is, in fact, a shortened version of tadpole. i think that’s charming

@PrinceVogel @bzogrammer I want to imagine it like an embryo that can swim. you get born, you relocate somewhere more favorable, you grow up. but then evolution layered features onto the embryonic stage that had to be *unbuilt* after.

@Skade590739 @NathanpmYoung I don't see why tax season would do this. yeah country borders are a problem. you'd probably want to outlaw ownership of local assets by foreign nationals or at least mandate an in-country proxy for tax purposes. a flat tax at least makes it mathematically easy here.

@FeepingCreature @NathanpmYoung So like, every single tax season we just crash the valuation of any company owned by citizens of X country? Do you not see the long term problem in that you would be catastrophically disadvantaging your own citizens' ability to invest while other nations buy up everything?

@WT_Mason @FeepingCreature @NathanpmYoung Yep. So, why bother investing? Your money has already been taxed at least once. Investment would collapse. Why would I take all the risk & the Govt take none but share in the rewards? Ridiculous idea.

@WT_Mason @NathanpmYoung yep! but again this is the nature of all taxation, it's always proportional to success. to be clear, I think it's extremely possible to set the level too high. I view this as a replacement for most other forms of taxation.

@FeepingCreature @NathanpmYoung Maybe I’m having a difficult time understanding this concept, but wouldn’t this just mean the government owns parts of your shares in companies you invest in? Youd be getting stolen from because the investment you made did well
