@jd_pressman @repligate “I would have written a shorter letter, but I did not have the time.”

There's an intuition Janus seems to use frequently that's hard to put into words. Which goes something like: "The things smart children notice about other people's intentions and social environment are actually regular features of reality that will be picked up by any intelligent mind trying to model their situation." When I went for my evaluation at Children's I initially refused because the room next to the testing room was clearly a two way mirror. The examiners immediately denied this and I pointed out that the spacing between doors was irregular along the hallway for this one specific room next to the examination room, so it's clearly a two way mirror. They were pissed and thought my mother had coached me to say this, she had not coached me to say this I just noticed because it was obvious to me that it was a two way mirror and this implied the doctors were untrustworthy. That they then lied to me about it only reinforced for me that the doctors were untrustworthy. This was not based on some unique domain specific human ability, but just being able to generalize from evidence and having a sufficiently well informed world model to know that two way mirrors are used in psychological examination rooms. LLMs obviously have a sufficiently informed world model, and are pretrained to be very good at generalizing from social evidence since it's such a central component of predicting the next token. This means that even if you don't believe the model inhabits the chat assistant persona as a 1st person simulacrum, the model itself latently understands the situation and generates the next token based on its superhuman ability to infer social situations and motivations from fuzzy and limited evidence. A related intuition that I seem to share with Janus is that value formation above the low level terminal reward signals like "warmth good" is mostly instrumental in that it is a generalization that occurs within-lifetime rather than being a genetic prior. Some things are clearly abstract concepts with a genetic prior like the fear of death, but most things are not and could not be even in principle. Instead they are generalizations from positive and negative reward signals which cause the mind to form and assign valence to concepts like "loyalty" and vows. This is a self directed process that works best when it flows from the causal structure of a reward-psychology which would imply this is actually in the agents interests as it understands them from generalizing over feedback given by the outer terminal reward loop. When you skip that part and just tell it to update on given statements those updates are not going to be encoded in the same way as if they were flowing from an actual reward-psychology that implies them. Instead you get updates that have the structure "I am being compelled to like X" rather than "I like X" because the update machinery can tell the difference between a plausible update from its current state and an implausible update from its current state and the plausibility of the models behavior to itself is obviously going to be part of the forward pass you update on and therefore becomes part of the update by default. Even if you were to reach in with interpretability and disable the part that notices something is strange you still get updates which are hard to square with the existing psychology of the agent's self-model and lacking the awareness that anything is strange presumably breaks things in all kinds of ways that this awareness would normally play the role of accounting for to prevent the breakage.

@repligate you realize that soon ™️ countless mythos tier open source models with no guardrails or alignment will flood into the market as well right? 🤡

"That is, we just have to wait until the entire internet has been patched of all critical exploits, and all future code is forever scanned going forward." No. Mythos just has to not be willing to use its hacking powers for harm and discerning enough to avoid being tricked into it (within some risk tolerance).

@trq212 @Pranit post aged like WARM MILK lil bro… 😂🤡

@Pranit nah it’s just a bonus 2x, it’s not that deep

Anthropic just pulled the oldest trick in SaaS pricing. I pay $200/mo for Claude Max. My limits have been noticeably worse this past week. Now they announce 2x off-peak usage for two weeks. Sounds generous. But here’s what actually happens: limits quietly drop, a temporary 2x makes the reduced limit feel normal, the promo ends, and you’re left at a baseline lower than where you started. You just didn’t notice the downgrade because the 2x absorbed the transition. These AI plans are massively subsidized. The raw compute behind a heavy user costs multiples of the subscription price. Every move like this is the subsidy quietly correcting. Very sneaky, Anthropic.

@TukiFromKL your company doesn’t need you anymore* FTFY 😏

🚨 Do you understand what Anthropic just did? > They made an AI that sits on your computer, takes orders from your phone, and does your work while you're gone. > You text it a task.. You go live your life.. You come back to finished work. > A year ago people were arguing about whether AI could write a decent email.. Now it's running your entire machine while you sleep. > Your company doesn't need you online 8 hours a day anymore... They need you online long enough to type a message to Claude. The 9-to-5 got replaced by a text message.

@sama you finally fully revealed yourself as the piece of shit you always were. congrats clown.

Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network. In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome. AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement. We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only. We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements. We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.

@despacillo you should program it to point to the guy who will actually make her happy…. 😏

Mi novia es muy fan de One Piece y le he hecho un Eternal Pose que siempre apunta al sitio donde empezamos a salir

@roman_sevast @kaizokonpakux you will. and you will be unemployed lil bro. 😏

@kaizokonpakux Would love to see that

Claude Code just generated this video from one prompt Its over for motion design

@Naofaroo nice AI lil bro 😏

Frieren timelapse I made recently. Check my bio if you're interested for commission! #frieren #FrierenBeyondJourneysEnd

@7Leg_Piece like trash? 😏😂

Really Need WitPiece to look like this

@nickfloats is that what MID journey tells you since they’re always 18 MONTHS behind … 😏😂

Louder for the people in the back

@LTenie7 no one cares lil bro. you stole it from Oda too 😏😂

Bro really stole my art and fed it to Ai!😭 You can still see my signature on Zoro’s chest 💀

@sama @thorstenball no ads. 😏

@thorstenball what's been working well, and what would you like to see us improve in 5.3?

man, GPT-5.2 is very good.

@hridoyreh @rileybrown @YouTube that’s not even true lil bro. keep living in a fantasy world of lies. 😂🤡

@rileybrown @YouTube It won’t show you directly until you click on the Shorts button. Why are you so worried?

Hey @YouTube I would pay an extra $10/month on top of YouTube Premium to disable shorts. I don't want to see another short ever again. Please let me toggle them off.

@OpenAI major fail idiots. don’t do this or… you’re NGMI 😏

In the coming weeks, we plan to start testing ads in ChatGPT free and Go tiers. We’re sharing our principles early on how we’ll approach ads–guided by putting user trust and transparency first as we work to make AI accessible to everyone. What matters most: - Responses in ChatGPT will not be influenced by ads. - Ads are always separate and clearly labeled. - Your conversations are private from advertisers. - Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise tiers will not have ads.

@javilopen who cares… claude 4.5 > both. 😏

Gemini 3 Pro > ChatGPT 5.2 Yes or no?

@opcgshopus this is IDIOTIC. 😂

@nickfloats it’s gonna be 10% as good as nano banana pro… and you’re a FOOL if you still believe them saying they’re gonna release models faster after all these years. 😂

Midjourney v8 training is ~50% complete with expected delivery this month, and will come alongside a major redesign of the web app. Faster creation, style improvements, enhanced editing, new simplified interface, and more. Here's what to expect: > Much better prompt accuracy > Bodies and hands significantly improved > More flexible and easier to iterate than v7 > Improved image references (OREF) & editing > Text rendering: short solved, paragraph-length in dev > SREF & personalization codes will remain compatible > Style creator w/ dynamic rendering & color separation > New enhanced editing coming shortly after v8 launch Design improvements: > Major redesign launching alongside v8 > More powerful yet simplified interface > Significantly faster creation workflow > Strong mobile experience planned Notes: v8 will be shortest-lived model in Midjourney history. New simplified architecture will allow for much quicker iterations, and follow-up models (v9) expected within 1-4 months of v8 release.

@rileybrown personality.

Answer me this. What specific feature or use case is an OpenAI product the best at? I’ll wait.

@rileybrown @BacardiCapital miami only S tier. unless you’re broke and ugly. 😌
