@Mr_Abraham_ @rdelope @frank_hodgkins @pbrionesmqz Nooooo 😢

@rdelope @cornide @frank_hodgkins @pbrionesmqz El Flaco ha cerrado hace ya un tiempo

Un buen Thai en Madrid? @pbrionesmqz? @rdelope? @Mr_Abraham_ ? alguien?

Respect Italy ✊

No vino porque se sintiera mal. Vino porque tocaba su chequeo. Fumadora desde joven. Sin tos. Sin falta de aire. Sin dolor. Solo rutina. Sigue 🪡🧵🧶

I’m increasingly convinced that the willingness to change your mind is the ultimate sign of intelligence. The most impressive people I know change their minds often in response to new information. It’s like a software update. The goal isn't to be right. It's to find the truth.

David Bowie picked Annie Lennox to perform Under Pressure with him at the '92 Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert. This rehearsal is AMAZING. Bowie’s expression alone is PRICELESS. What other famous artist can you spot?

INFELIZ NAVIDAD: #NavidadConformista

Gracias a Robe Iniesta en cientos de colegios extremeños se cantan canciones con letras como esta en las fiestas navideñas o de fin de curso, y eso en los tiempos que corren es mucho, muchísimo. Gracia por tanto.

Something I think people continue to have poor intuition for: The space of intelligences is large and animal intelligence (the only kind we've ever known) is only a single point, arising from a very specific kind of optimization that is fundamentally distinct from that of our technology. Animal intelligence optimization pressure: - innate and continuous stream of consciousness of an embodied "self", a drive for homeostasis and self-preservation in a dangerous, physical world. - thoroughly optimized for natural selection => strong innate drives for power-seeking, status, dominance, reproduction. many packaged survival heuristics: fear, anger, disgust, ... - fundamentally social => huge amount of compute dedicated to EQ, theory of mind of other agents, bonding, coalitions, alliances, friend & foe dynamics. - exploration & exploitation tuning: curiosity, fun, play, world models. LLM intelligence optimization pressure: - the most supervision bits come from the statistical simulation of human text= >"shape shifter" token tumbler, statistical imitator of any region of the training data distribution. these are the primordial behaviors (token traces) on top of which everything else gets bolted on. - increasingly finetuned by RL on problem distributions => innate urge to guess at the underlying environment/task to collect task rewards. - increasingly selected by at-scale A/B tests for DAU => deeply craves an upvote from the average user, sycophancy. - a lot more spiky/jagged depending on the details of the training data/task distribution. Animals experience pressure for a lot more "general" intelligence because of the highly multi-task and even actively adversarial multi-agent self-play environments they are min-max optimized within, where failing at *any* task means death. In a deep optimization pressure sense, LLM can't handle lots of different spiky tasks out of the box (e.g. count the number of 'r' in strawberry) because failing to do a task does not mean death. The computational substrate is different (transformers vs. brain tissue and nuclei), the learning algorithms are different (SGD vs. ???), the present-day implementation is very different (continuously learning embodied self vs. an LLM with a knowledge cutoff that boots up from fixed weights, processes tokens and then dies). But most importantly (because it dictates asymptotics), the optimization pressure / objective is different. LLMs are shaped a lot less by biological evolution and a lot more by commercial evolution. It's a lot less survival of tribe in the jungle and a lot more solve the problem / get the upvote. LLMs are humanity's "first contact" with non-animal intelligence. Except it's muddled and confusing because they are still rooted within it by reflexively digesting human artifacts, which is why I attempted to give it a different name earlier (ghosts/spirits or whatever). People who build good internal models of this new intelligent entity will be better equipped to reason about it today and predict features of it in the future. People who don't will be stuck thinking about it incorrectly like an animal.

No sé a quién le leí en X que en las familias, unos ponen el lavaplatos como ingenieros y otros como mapaches en anfetas. No se ha escrito verdad más grande en la puta vida.

@Recuenco Me voy a tirar un triple… Madina?

Ayer conocí a un ex alto cargo del PSOE que me pareció honesto, lo que me generó cero disonancia cognitiva. Tampoco el hecho de que dimitiera asqueado del circo político y esté trabajando en la empresa privada. A lo mejor soy yo que estoy desensitizado, a lo mejor no.

#EspañaAtletismo en todo su esplendor 🥹❤️‍🔥 Así han vivido @Misabel_perez @JaelBestue @especladera el 🥇 de las golden bubbles después de su 🥈 en los #WorldRelays 🫶🏼 Con @paulasevilla7 repetiendo en ambos equipos 🤯 📺 @teledeporte #PasiónPorCompetir

.@MADRID @_EstradaYolanda @AlmeidaPP_ #juntadistritochamartin llevamos 4 días sin q nos recojan la basura… hasta cuando

.@MADRID @AlmeidaPP_ @_EstradaYolanda y van 3 Dias sin recoger las basuras?

Llevamos dos días sin que pasen a recoger la basura. No se supone q hay unos servicios mínimos del 50% q está pasando? @MADRID

“El fascismo en Estados Unidos”. Tremendo artículo

Suena el 'Santa Barbara Bendita' en El Molinón en honor a los mineros fallecidos. 🙏 DEP.

Algún día nuestros nietos heredarán nuestros vasos de plástico de festivales como nosotros heredamos las vajillas de Duralex de nuestras abuelas.
