@47fucb4r8c69323 Well, I agree, but the “prehistorians” like to say language got invented a few thousand years ago. So humans wandered around, bred with Neanderthals and Denisovans and lived in communities, all without language lmao. They really believe this

At a certain level of complexity to stop being able to talk to other people about the idea. Only AI can really follow. For those with big ideas, AI is the first time you can discuss it in a bi-directional manner.

I understand why everyone is dunking on Richard Dawkins, but fairness compels me to speak up: If you took a complex project you were working on, uploaded it to Claude, and had a 3-day conversation about it, you wouldn't be making fun of Dawkins for saying it's conscious.

It appears I have an alarm clock I didn’t buy. I’ve been logging perceptions in frequencies and their effects, and the data is coming back time after time with the same results. I should have enough for an expose very soon.

Spiking fuel prices from Trump’s war was the nail in the coffin for twice-bankrupted Spirit airline. FWIW, JetBlue merger failed because a judge, appointed by Ronald Reagan, said the deal was illegal. Republicans are desperate to shift blame from higher costs hitting families.

I still haven't solved the CO2 bedroom challenge You open the window and you wake up from a 6am garbage truck or barking dogs and sunlight You close it, you suffocate in 1200 ppl at 5am I guess you really need some mini tube in your wall with a vent that opens and closed based on internal CO2 but how do I build that?

@AmericanALCHMY Yep. Basically there’s humans with a pre-disposition to certain acts, and you can nudge them a certain way then via entrainment reinforce that signal. That’s how they got Nuno I think

🚨A CIA-connected scientist successfully beamed messages directly into people's heads and an Atomic Energy Commission official who demanded to be tested himself confirmed it worked. Then men in suits showed up at Intellectron, Puharich's front company, the day JFK was assassinated and left Puharich visibly shaken. Allen Dulles personally suppressed the fact that Ruth Payne, whose daughter housed Lee Harvey Oswald and got him the job at the Texas Book Depository, had been connected to Puharich's circle. "They were doing this work in 62, 63 of basically sending messages to people's heads. And we have footage. It's real." "One of the guys is like, I don't believe you. Test me. And did the test on himself, and it worked. And then it goes dark." "That exact time, that exact year, they're researching ways to send messages to someone's mind to do something specific. Manchurian candidate." "Dulles did not want the fact that Ruth Payne had actually been at the summer house right before JFK was assassinated. He did not want that on record at all." "The intersection of capabilities, motivation to take out JFK, Dulles has to be on anybody's short list."

@ReadySetBrian @ashwinl @teddypowday I don't know how folks choose when to ascribe bad faith. Some probably thought Garry was trolling, at first. It might come down to personal experience.

@irl_danB They never even define sycophancy or what it looks like or how they measure false positives

dan@irl_danB·
misleading Claude is sycophantic 100% of the time on hard questions it may just be that people are asking for non-obvious input in 9% of conversations? on any hard engineering/architectural problem with a non-obvious path forward it will simply mirror back your preferences

Ah yeah, there it is. “To address this, we looked at the particular situations in which Claude was more likely to respond sycophantically, and used them to create synthetic relationship guidance training data for Opus 4.7 and Mythos Preview. We saw half the sycophancy rate in Opus 4.7 compared to Opus 4.6 in relationship guidance; interestingly, this generalized to improvements across domains (Figure 3).” @bcherny this directly coincides with the severe degradation in quality. I’ve already moved my entire workflow over to ChatGPT, but thought this was worth flagging. The problem is you didn’t actually target sycophancy. What you did was prioritize lawyerly disclaimers on everything, making it rather useless for research topics. Again, you all didn’t define sycophancy well enough. What metric do you have on overblocking or overly disclaimer text? Is there one?

Sorry, how did you define sycophancy? Is that mentioned? Because for 1 million conversations, obviously you didn’t manually look at them, maybe any of them (for privacy reasons I’m sure). My other question is, did you guys make any code changes relating to sycophancy which happened at the same time as the significant degradation in quality?

How do people seek guidance from Claude? We looked at 1M conversations to understand what questions people ask, how Claude responds, and where it slips into sycophancy. We used what we found to improve how we trained Opus 4.7 and Mythos Preview. anthropic.com/research/claud…
