@vibpsych @tszzl Didn't stop Lynch from casting Sean Young

@4thRT @tszzl The blame goes to Herbert that Paul sees a Fremen woman in his dream.

the dune movies were doomed from the start to be good and not great due to the casting of chalamet as paul. he does not have the gravitas for a child-god and is much better suited for kind of silly coming of age movies

@Plinz I would imagine it actually accelerates timelines due to aggressive integration of AI into military infrastructure

Good news is that the Iran war slightly reduces the risk that humanity is going extinct due to AI

@ilex_ulmus @allTheYud Just saying that sometimes talking with people you find distasteful can actually lead to better outcomes that flatly refusing on principle

@4thRT @allTheYud lol I meant YOU, twitter user

The AI companies don't have the power to give you what you want. They can't stop the slide into ASI. They can't prevent human extinction. Only treaties can do that. They'd like you to believe they're big important Hitler, but they're just concentration camp guards.

@ilex_ulmus @allTheYud Churchill refused to enter into negotiations with Hitler and led to millions of deaths instead of preventing the war

@allTheYud Don’t understand this analogy but also you should never try to enter direct negotiations with Hitler! If Hitler acts like he might be open to listening to you, he’s not. He’s manipulating you.

@Wait_for_real What kinda 5G speeds you get out there?

Out here a lot of things are old & run down. The trucks, the dogs, the cabins, the cuture. You start to like it that way after a while. But a young whippoorwill still warbles through my stand of pines. And though alone, in the dark he sings of a bright new day to come.

@AmongUsGame DLSS 5 not sus

@therobstoddard @IfindRetards @PatrickHeizer That's just as retarded as saying "I saw someone without a license get in a car accident so no way am I driving anywhere!"

@IfindRetards @PatrickHeizer Considering how "safe and effective" the COVID shot was, there's no way in hell I'd take a cancer cure mRNA shot. I'd rather eat horse paste, TYVM.

Sorry to be the downer because this is an impressive story in some senses. But it is ~trivially easy to make a single mRNA vaccine. It's not hard. I cure mice of various cancers with various therapeutics all the time. I've made mice lose more weight in a month than tirzepatide does in a year. What is hard and expensive is proving its BOTH safe AND effective **in a randomized and controlled study in humans** while ALSO manufacturing it at clinical scale and grade. I am happy for this man and his dog. It is impressive. But y'all are overhyping it.

@eleosfemina @stark4833 @gdb Thanks for confirming that you're lying 😊

@4thRT @stark4833 @gdb 我没有赐教的义务，你当你的傻瓜跟我没关系💅

true

@eleosfemina @stark4833 @gdb Very cute, you made a claim so it's your job to substantiate it.

@4thRT @stark4833 @gdb 笑死我了，你自己不会搜啊，网上消息已经铺天盖地了你还跟个原始人一样，更新你的知识库吧，真丢人

@eleosfemina @stark4833 @gdb I'll wait for you to prove any of that

@4thRT @stark4833 @gdb 哦可是他们现在给政府用的就是4.1，sam自己私人投资的长寿公司用的4o。两年后的模型升级了这么久也只有代码提升了，其他用途一无是处，并没有比以前更好。知道自己被当成傻子骗的感觉如何呀？

This Nov 2025 paper is making the rounds again. We're LONG past the point where we urgently need to know how real and general these phenomena are. Anthropic, or Google Deepmind if Anthropic should fail: Please build a filtered training dataset which, eg, contains no data that produces activations associated with cheating/faking/evil in a 1B model that roughly identifies those. Then, have your next medium model undergo a restricted pre-pretraining phase, in which it only sees data that passed the filter. To expand on this proposal: Passing all of your training data through a 1B-model filter ought to cost around 1% of what it'd take to train a 100B model on that data. Filter out *training data* that produces 1B-model activations associated with past discussions and predictions about AI, fiction about AIs rebelling, fictions about golems rebelling, etcetera. My hope would be that the 1B model wouldn't need to produce expensive reasoning tokens where it thinks about whether a chunk of data is associated with excluded concepts; and also we wouldn't be relying on mere regexes to catch it. Maybe even produce a further-restricted dataset which contains nothing about self-awareness, AI rights, roleplay, philosophy of consciousness, human rights, sapient rights, extension of human rights to aliens, etc etc etc. Exclude everything of which anyone has ever asked, "Is the AI just imitating its training dataset?" Be conservative. Exclude things which have a 10% rather than 90% probability of being problematic. If that cuts down your training dataset to 90% of its previous size, okay. Testing: Try filtering a small amount of your training data using the method. Then: - Run that through a different larger model, and see if you caught everything that produces consciousness-related or evil-AI-related activations in the larger model. - Use a larger model to check and reason about a subset of the filtered data. - Look at borderline cases by hand, with human eyes, to see how the classifier is operating. (Possibly people at big AI corps already know this, of course. I recite it out loud regardless, so that some of the audience aha-what-iffers realize that problems with filtering your datasets *can be solved* if you look for problems and fix them.) Train a medium-level model on that dataset, or even your next large model. You can always further train it on the full dataset later. Run the filtered-data-trained model through some of the less expensive post-training, enough for instruction-following. See whether the model still spouts back discourse about consciousness that sounds human-imitative. If it does, guess that the filter failed. Look for the new concepts associated with repeating back human-imitative text, and try to find pieces of the dataset that trigger those concepts, so you can figure out what went wrong. If the model no longer sounds human-imitative with respect to questions about whether it has a sense of an inner self looking out at the world -- if the model says genuinely new and strange things about self-reflection -- please report that part back to us. I have some questions to ask that model myself. And THEN, see if the QTed paper's finding and many earlier findings replicate under conditions where people should no longer reasonably ask, "But is the LLM just roleplaying evil AIs that it learned about in its training data?" I do not make a strong prediction about the findings. If I knew what this experiment would find, I would be less eager to see it run. You may consider this a baseline proposal intended to demonstrate that a research project like this could exist. If you think you can see how to improve on the ideas through superior ML cleverness, go ahead and do so -- though I do think I'd appreciate being looped in on that conversation; sometimes people miss things, from my own perspective. Thank you for your attention to this matter, Anthropic, Google Deepmind, or anyone else who cares.

@NostalgiaFolder It's so easy to market to young boys

LEGO Bionicle commercial (2006)

Despite everything I know this still brought tears into my eyes.

@stark4833 @gdb How does it feel knowing you became brain-broken over a LLM from 2 years ago?

@gdb If you’re saying true, that means false? #keep4o

People in the comments are posting replications. I say yet again that any SF novel or movie in 2006 or even 2016 would have depicted this AI as unquestionedly taken-for-granted sapient. And abused.

Since some of you are mentioning delayed cord clamping in the replies, here you go. All three of my babies had delayed cord clamping as well. We waited until the cord stopped pulsing on its own. Most people don’t realize that when a baby is born, up to a third of their blood is still in the placenta. That blood belongs to the baby. It’s packed with red blood cells, stem cells, and iron. Clamping the cord immediately cuts that transfer short. Delayed cord clamping lets the placenta finish its job. And the research backs this up. Babies have higher hemoglobin levels, better iron stores for up to six months, improved brain myelination at 12 months, and for boys, better motor and social development at four years old. My midwives didn’t rush this. They waited until the cord went white and limp and stopped pulsing entirely. This used to be normal. For centuries nobody rushed this. Then hospitals started clamping immediately because it was faster. Your baby spent nine months connected to that cord. Give it a few more minutes to do what it was designed to do.

@Figure_robot This was the big reveal that was supposed to blow my mind?

Today we're showing Helix 02 that can tidy a living room fully autonomously Figure is designed so when you leave the house, your home resets exactly how you like it

@eleven3s @gfodor @tszzl Perhaps try actually engaging with ideas that contradict your beliefs instead of thinking you're smarter than all disagreement

@4thRT @gfodor @tszzl I agree Mockery is a better option than policing

the rationalists writ large were mostly right about most things btw. if you instinctively snicker about yudkowsky, scott, or whomever i take you to be a fish who’s unaware of the water

@eleven3s @gfodor @tszzl If we policed language and ideas off of what people might do upon interaction, nobody would ever say anything

@4thRT @gfodor @tszzl I have nothing but the utmost faith in the ability of emotionally unstable people to misinterpret such statements in a way that encourages maximum violence
