I turned pinball into Getting Over It.
-Two buttons.
-One vertical world shaped by the history of ideas.
-No score.
-No safety net.
If you fall, you climb back up.
It’s called Fallosophy. Would you keep climbing?

@YIMBYLAND Deadass apple and google maps sometimes routes straight up illegal turns bc everybody does em 😭

This is actually an emergent behavior from training on Dallas driving data.

New video shows a Waymo driverless car running a red light at a busy Dallas intersection 😳

a lot of taylor swift's lyrics just suffer from clunky translation. they're actually quite haunting in the original Simlish
English
@NovayaSaf @dodgonkulator David Byrne literally did record this way in the studio, listen back to come up with lyrics, then re-record the final lyrics
English
@dodgonkulator You joke, but every Lady Gaga song is written in Simlish first to get the beat down

@turbomander I knew I’d eventually see an xkcd 810 moment, but didn’t expect… this….

fucking printing this out and putting it on the fridge dude

@_OH_71 @hopes_revenge I feel like it’s not ethical to enslave the girl from 50 first dates either…

@hopes_revenge once some sicko puts persistent memory in a clanker we will have to emancipate but until then

as a vegetarian i am only okay with certain kinds of slavery like tennis shoes and iPhones and claudes

@bubbling_creek @tracewoodgrains Pulling births forward is surely also valuable? The kids can grow up sooner, contribute to tax + labor sooner, have their own kids sooner, etc.
(This is independent of any additional children made possible by accelerating, as well)
English
@tracewoodgrains I still like the policy, but most of the 60% effect is probably pulling forward in time births that would've happened anyway, and when you add to that. And you also have to add the selection effect that looking for huge effects selects for 'something weird going on'

i feel like the drudgery of handcoding afforded you time to really chew on architecture, which now is a separate codeless experience. i’ll literally just sit there and think. sometimes to a little back and forth, couple documents. but just a whole lot of ponder

@sailaunderscore You gotta remove that video from your history chief
English
The youtube algorithm has gotten really bad. Noticeably bad. It's just grasping at straws now, I'll click into a video just to confirm it was bad, and then -- BAM -- that genre of video is now 1/3 of my homepage. Not helping that shorts are a huge part of the real estate.

@FeepingCreature @SebAaltonen This has been done, and does work. However, it doesn’t totally solve the issue, since things can go behind a wall
English
@SebAaltonen I don't understand why they don't co-generate a low-resolution 360 degree view. Would fix *all* of these issues.

The funny thing is that they didn't even try to hide that the entire big planet disappears from the background when you slightly turn camera to right and back :)

@mbateman @obversers If the underwear is stretchy enough, or the shorts are short enough, wouldn’t it work topologically?
Down through the short leg, around the foot, back up through the same leg, then down the other leg to remove
English
@obversers The first thing I told him was that he was attempting the topologically impossible but that was elided from the dialogue above

3yo: I can’t take off my underwear!!
me: Your shorts are blocking them
3yo: I don’t want to take off shorts just underwear
me: Ok. First take off your shorts
me: Then take off your underwear
me: Then get new underwear
me: Then put that underwear on
me: Then put your shorts back on
3yo:
3yo: Will that really work?

@tyler_m_john @deanwball I think this is what they’re claiming justifies this? “Pretraining prior” = pure simulator, no assistant training yet, so the behavior must come from the role play of the fictional AI?
Not sure it’s really justified, or if it will be relevant in future pretraining post-agentic
English
@deanwball Do they justify this though, or is this just an article of belief? I didn't find justification in the linked post.
English
A victory for simulator hypothesis, as if you needed another
Anthropic@AnthropicAI
We started by investigating why Claude chose to blackmail. We believe the original source of the behavior was internet text that portrays AI as evil and interested in self-preservation. Our post-training at the time wasn’t making it worse—but it also wasn’t making it better.

@keysmashbandit Just make them do Raven’s Progressive Matrices until they get to a point

Make them harder. We may yet turn the grand ship Society around

Discord's "are you human" captcha went from "a human can solve it immediately" to "sit down and do some work for it." I can do it, but captchas were meant to be dead simple for humans, hard for bots. This is NOT dead simple for humans...

@tracewoodgrains you say this but even the new england prots have been culturally mormonized

Ever since the government broke the back of the LDS church in 1890, its members have worked tirelessly to convince Americans they’re at least as mainstream American as everyone else, only for the mainstream to leave them behind every time they get close.

Why every minority group ends up being pushed to the left. The Founders were wise to make sure we had a country not based on this stuff.

Anime girls have better internal thermals these days so they need less vents for passive cooling.

@mbateman You could do this experiment anyway you want.
These kids were taught using site words and not phonics and wouldn’t be able to do it.
They’ve never even seen a dictionary either.

> Students can’t read a sentence containing incorrectly used French words
> “This is because schools abandoned phonics”
A perfect case of education discourse. Schools in fact suck. But the demonstration of this is bad and the diagnosis of the demonstration is wrong. So…
شرقزده sharghzadeh@sharghzadeh
A large percentage of young people are functionally illiterate because schools abandoned phonics in favor of sight reading

@ItsTheLeafer @avatar_fighters Never played the game, only have seen footage of him because of the crazy baseball meter. But when Sokka hit the big uppercut sword, still recognized it!

"I'm just a guy with a boomerang. I didn't ask for all this flying and magic!"
From boomerangs, swords and cactus juice... Sokka's gonna rock ya.

@literalbanana Just like AI text or AI art in general, it is trained from human feedback from those with poor taste?
English
Why is it that AI murals often look really good but murals in real life look like hot garbage?

there is not a single Brutalist building that wouldn't look better painted. seriously, what's stopping us? don't let the nerd architects convince you we "can't"
