@cprkrn I thought they locked you out after certain attempts? 🤔

I tried like 7 trillion passwords lmfao Found this old pneumonic a few weeks ago that ended up being the old password before I changed it Thought I was screwed Last ditch effort dumped my whole college computer into Claude It found an OLD wallet file that the pneumonic successfully decrypted Locked out 11+ years because I got stoned and changed the password Spent $250 on each lol HOLY FUCK

HOLY FUCKING SHIT OMG CLAUDE JUST CRACKED THIS SHIT, THANK YOU @AnthropicAI THANK YOU @DarioAmodei NAMING MY KID AFTER YOU 😍 blockchain.com/explorer/addre…

@pixlpa check the ratio of eigenvalues (of the local structure matrix) to reject unreliable points. For example if the smallest eigenvalue is too low, it's a singularity. Maybe it can help prune bad synthesis directions.

This is 3 different training runs of the velocity/diffusion gabor synthesis model.

Is that useful?

@F_Rimasson Can you sample average direction?

@AgorithmAg @TheVixhal expectations vs adaptability

@AgorithmAg @TheVixhal we are telling the system how to behave, but real self-awareness is about the behavior being a byproduct of naturally occurring dynamics

Could consciousness emerge from logic gates? Modern AI systems ultimately run on just 3 basic logic gates: - AND Gate - OR Gate - NOT Gate Individually these gates are extremely simple. But when billions of them are combined together in complex systems, they can process language, generate code, recognize patterns, and simulate human-like reasoning. If intelligence-like behavior can emerge from massive combinations of simple logic gates, could consciousness emerge too? And if human brains are also made from simpler units like neurons, is consciousness just an emergent property of complexity?

Introducing Rig Flow An interactive bone-sketching tool for fast rig creation in Blender Now available on Superhive: superhivemarket.com/products/rigfl… #b3d #gamedev #animation #vfx #3D

Old CRTs are actually cool, they have: analog noise scanline timing phosphor persistence signal distortion natural temporal smear Those imperfections could act like a physical prior. Something like: Plain text noise + memory + blur + decay + scanline structure Almost like a cheap analog latent field

@realBigBrainAI that magic thing is the topology

Stephen Wolfram, founder of Wolfram Research, explains how LLMs are quietly dismantling our deepest assumptions about consciousness: He argues that large language models have done something philosophy and neuroscience couldn't: "In terms of consciousness, I have to say, the idea that there's sort of something magic that goes beyond physics that leads to sort of conscious behavior, I kind of think that LLMs kind of put the final nail in that coffin." His reasoning is that LLMs keep doing things people assumed they couldn't: "There were all these things where it's like, oh, maybe it can't do this, but actually it does. And it's just an artificial neural net." Wolfram then challenges a core assumption about conscious experience: the feeling that we are a single, continuous self moving through time. "I think our notion of consciousness is a lot related to the fact that we believe in the single thread of experience that we have. It's not obvious that we should have a persistent thread of experience." He points out that physics doesn't actually support this intuition: "In our models of physics, we're made of different atoms of space at every successive moment of time. So the fact that we have this belief that we are somehow persistent, we have this thread of experience that extends through time, is not obvious." Then Wolfram offers a striking origin story for consciousness itself. @stephen_wolfram suggests it traces back to a simple evolutionary pressure: the moment animals first needed to move. "I kind of realized that probably when animals first existed in the history of life on Earth, that's when we started needing brains. If you're a thing that doesn't have to move around, the different parts of you can be doing different kinds of things. If you're an animal, then one thing you have to do is decide, are you going to go left or are you going to go right?" That single binary choice, he argues, may be the seed of everything we now call awareness: "I kind of think it's a little disappointing to feel that this whole wanted thing that ends up being what we think of as consciousness might have originated in just that very simple need to decide if you are an animal that can move. You have to take all that sensory input and you have to make a definitive decision about do you go this way or that way." The takeaway is unsettling but clarifying. If LLMs can produce complex behavior from simple rules, then consciousness may not be a mystical add-on to physics. It may just be what happens when a layered enough system has to make a decision.
