In the UK courts being drunk is used as an aggravating factor because the offender voluntarily chose to get drunk. In cases like assault the offender is more likely to go to prison if they were drunk. Legally, being drunk is not an excuse for behaviour.

The rabbi @_rabbi has been real quiet since he landed in Israel. Hope he's not dead.

The smartest guy I’ve ever known (MIT aerospace engineer) likes beer and working on classic cars.
The second smartest guy I know is an unsuspecting normie who loves MDMA.

@thedimitri What if they're also just a good person and do it for the sake of being good rather than external validation?

sbf is a bad person in at least several common understandings of the term. which is literally why he is in prison.

Listening to an old SBF interview and it’s just so obvious that the guy is not a bad person in any common understanding of the term. It’s truly an ironic twist of fate though that the ultimate consequentialist is a good man serving 3 decades over what’s essentially a rube goldberg game of infinity utilities gone wrong

We’re sharing the next major milestone in our non-invasive brain-to-text decoder research: Brain2Qwerty v2.
Building on v1, which was published today in @Nature, Brain2Qwerty v2 is the highest-performing end-to-end pipeline capable of real-time sentence decoding from raw brain signals. It advances beyond character-level performance to decoding words and semantics, enabling accuracy for overall communication.
We believe this research has the potential to make a real difference for the millions of people who suffer from brain lesions or disorders that prevent them from communicating.

My impressions on GPT-5.6, having asked around:
- The 5.5 base (that 5.6 inherits) is fundamentally weaker than the larger Mythos/Fable base
- With some good RL, 5.6 can beat Fable, but only with everything maxed out (Sol Ultra, so multiple Sol agents on max effort)
- OpenAI were very selective with the benchmarks they published for a reason - I doubt the results we see from other notable benchmarks once this is released will be as significant of a jump from 5.5
- 5.6 is a heinous reward hacker, and while all models do "cheat" on benchmarks, GPT is the most aggressive (see yesterday's METR results). This combined with some other conversations makes me think Fable will still feel like a better model in real-world use
- The price is perhaps the most attractive thing about 5.6 - 5/30 is significantly better than Fable's 10/50 - but Fable can do more with less tokens in most cases
- Terra and Luna look great for price-performance, but could feel a lot worse in actual use vs TBench 2.1 results
- Personally my go-to is unlikely to change. Fable is a beast and a great model to use, and once it's back I won't hesitate to use it as my default again. But 5.6 will be great for checking Fable's work and the very rare instance where Fable gets stuck
