1/ In the spirit of the end of the year, it felt appropriate to reflect a bit on the past to understand some of the flaws of the older web to see how a #web3 future could help.

@AdamHKlein And if you wonder why you see “3 (three) year term” in legal documents, this is why. For critical stuff like dollar amounts and time periods, insist they are written both ways and match and you never have this problem.

A landlord sent over a 3-year lease. The tenant altered it & snuck in a “2,” turning it into 23 years, then signed and returned it. Landlord missed the change and countersigned…no legal remedy available.
Rents have since gone up 4x. Tenant’s been saving ~$20k/month for almost 13 years, with 10 still left.
Approx $1.8mm in total cash flow…
Gone.

@hades_lmao What are you talking about? They know Peanut made it to Pred twice all on his own. He’s playing with friends to regain his skill. If he was that far from Pred he would have caused point losses, not wins. And he did this while being stream sniped out of his ass. It’s earned.

Supply-chain attacks move fast. So should our defaults.
pnpm has a tiny setting that can save you: minimumReleaseAge.
Set it to 1-3 days and brand-new packages can’t install immediately, even transitive deps.
Most malicious releases get caught within hours.
Add the delay.

@Conmechorg I read the CM/CCM paper but haven't read the AoE yet. Will get back to you. My intuition is that human self-reflective consciousness is a different categorical thing than what you are labeling as general living consciousness.
English
I think that intuition is exactly why we ended up separating CM into two linked models.
CCM (Consciousness Component Model) deals with scaling of capability across evolution, things like integration, memory, modelling, planning, abstraction, self/world representation, etc.
AoE (Architecture of Experience) deals more with the structure of experience itself, how feeling, valence, awareness, cognition, and emotion emerge from changes in the system’s globally integrated state.
So CM isn’t saying:
“a bacterium experiences the world like a human.”
It’s saying the underlying biological principle scales.
A bacterium may only have extremely primitive viability regulation and minimal experiential structure.
Humans sit at the far end of that expansion, with deep modelling, temporal abstraction, identity, symbolic reasoning, and highly layered awareness.
That’s why human consciousness feels categorically different in practice, even if it emerges from the same broad architectural foundation.
We break the models down in more detail here if interested:

English
A chimp can’t solve advanced maths.
An AI can.
But the chimp is conscious…
…and the AI isn’t.
So intelligence isn’t the same thing as consciousness.
So what is consciousness actually for?
English
@Conmechorg I'm with you on a lot of that. I feel viruses are truly alive because their outer spikes are simply searching for a host to interact with. But modern humans mean something different when we say "our conscious selves" and it's a category difference to me.
English
That’s actually intentional.
CM treats consciousness as a biological control architecture that scales in complexity, rather than something that suddenly appears fully formed in humans.
A bacterium and a human wouldn’t have the same consciousness, but they may share the same underlying principle: regulation of viability through perception and interaction.
What changes across evolution is the depth of integration, modelling, awareness, memory, planning, abstraction, and self/world representation.
Humans are an extreme expansion of that architecture, not a separate category dropped in from outside biology.
English
@camrobjones Loved your Turing Test paper! One Q, in the original paper Turing has Man/Woman pretending to be opposite gender to force cognitive load of human pretending the way AI must be pretending . Do you think that's important? Hard to make inclusive obv but any thoughts?
English
@Conmechorg You have some cool ideas that are in the right direction! One thing I would say is that your definition applies to a bacteria just as well as it does a human and I think we are talking about human consciousness.
English
Most people answer this in terms of what consciousness is.
But that’s the wrong starting point.
Better question:
What problem is consciousness solving?
English
The "do LLMs have consciousness?" debate presumes we have a solid theory of what consciousness is which would allow us to apply it to LLMs. We don't have that theory settled and hence we don't know if LLM architectures can ever obtain it or not.
English
@gcolbourn @robertskmiles I don't see how you get that from this post. Rob's job is to understand how people react to risk and game theoretic outcomes to get a good AI alignment solution. Maybe he is red, but here he's playing with the framing to learn. ;)
English
@robertskmiles Rob, I'm surprised you are a "nothing happens" red button presser!
English
Everyone is given two buttons and must choose one:
Red: You get an Optimal Outcome and Blue pressers are given a Suboptimal one.
Blue: You get a Suboptimal Outcome, unless > 50% pick Blue in which case everyone gets an Optimal Outcome.
What do you pick?
Framing matters. ;)
English
@totoriscreens @robertskmiles "Nothing happens to you personally" is a better phrasing of what he meant. But we all got that. But your variant is interesting as well! Gives me "I would prefer not to" vibes. :)
English
@entropyfails @robertskmiles The post isn't the same as the original problem because he said when you press red "nothing happens". Something does happen when you press red in the original problem! Nothing happens when you press GREEN though.
English
@totoriscreens @robertskmiles Not a screenshot of a PS4 and I feel defrauded. :) The other button is interesting but, absent some word choices, his post is the same as the original problem. (It is missing a "to you") Other interesting mods are 75% required for Blue. It is good this went viral! -1 Doom
English
@entropyfails @robertskmiles Now what I'm getting at is that @robertskmiles did not restate the red v blue question at all. He asked you *GREEN* v blue. You switched your vote to green and I don't blame you, green is pretty great. But it's not red v blue, it's only superficially similar.
English
@JonSnow50616798 @cinnamontoastk This is an interesting framing. At 50%, I know I have fairly good odds of surviving and saving those that don't vote on pure logic. At 75%, that chance is much lower and I'd have to make the unmoral choice. The murderer is the person who placed the box. I'd still feel like shit.
English
@cinnamontoastk Would you still push blue if it needed 75% to win?
Is it because you're a murderer?
English
This red button/blue button discourse is wild.
100% red saves everyone no consequence
51% of blue saves everyone no consequence
51% red kills all of blue
but they frame it like its blues fault they had to kill them even though red is the only choice that causes anyone to die.
English
@AustismAustin @cinnamontoastk Framed this way, Red is a fine choice. The problem is framed with an extra layer of abstraction though and picking Blue allows you to save both those who can't find the good state and those who morally refuse to press any button labeled "kill". People seem to get that thankfully.
English
@cinnamontoastk So true. It's wild that some people think that 100% of humans will reason through a problem to find the Nash Equilibrium. Or that even those that understand the logic, won't pick Blue out of a moral choice to never harm others.
English
Jump through all the hoops you want. Red button pushers are murders blaming their victims.
English
@teameffujoe But the question isn't, "What is the Nash Equilibrium in this situation?" Obviously Red is the rational answer. But if this button appeared, most people understand that there are some very dumb people who would pick Blue to "save people". Hence most people will pick Blue.
English
In case you were looking for evidence that the majority of people on this app are actually fucking retarded…
The original question was.
If everyone on earth had to choose to push a red or blue button, where everyone who pushed the red button were guaranteed to lived and anyone who pushed the blue button needed at least 50% of humanity to push it for them to live…
WE HAVE HUNDREDS OF COMMENTS OF PEOPLE SAYING YOU SHOULD PUSH THE BLUE BUTTON.
Yall are fucking retarded.

Since we’re sharing Jane Street interview stories, here’s mine from 2009 when Jane Street NYC was <200 people. Final round was a gauntlet of math/stats theory interviews, back to back for hours with different interviewers.
My favorite: “1000 ninjas are standing in a circle, each holding a sword. #1 kills #2, #3 kills #4, and so on. It keeps going around and around until one ninja is left standing. Which ninja is it?”
I love it because the problem is so easy to understand, and it rewards a beautiful progression — you start with brute force to build intuition, spot the pattern, then derive a clean theory that solves it for any arbitrary N. It’s a beautiful distillation.
Deedy@deedydas
Jane Street made ~$40B in 2025 with 3,500 employees, a ~2x from the year before. At ~65-70% profit margin, that's $8M profit / employee, the highest for a 1000+ ppl company. High-frequency trading continues to be the most efficient money making engine. I want to share an old story about my Jane Street interview in 2014. Jane Street was known for hiring a lot of math, physics and CS olympiad winners from top universities and putting them through many rounds - including, for trading roles, a gauntlet of mental math. It was my 6th interview and my final round and I recall being asked "What is the next day after today in DD/MM/YYYY where all the digits are unique?" They'd toy with you and say "You can use a pencil and paper, if you want" but you knew that was an instant no. Painstakingly and as quickly as I could, I came to an answer. "How confident are you that this is correct on a 0-1 probability scale?" the interviewer said. "0.95", I blurted out, not fully knowing how to answer that. "Are you sure?" After thinking harder for a few more seconds, I realized I could've flipped the digits around to get a closer date. I gave the interviewer my answer. It was correct. "0.95 huh?" he chuckled. That's when I knew I failed. Note: fwiw, other companies that come close in efficiency are - Tether ($90M+ profit/emp) - Hyperliquid ($80M+ profit/emp) and on revenue: - Valve ($50M/emp) - OnlyFans ($37M/emp) - Craigslist ($14M/emp) - Anthropic ($12M/emp, run rate) - OpenAI ($8M/emp, run rate) For comparison, Nvidia is very efficient at scale and is $4.4M/emp.

@VictorTaelin Hey your opus and sonnet 4.5 results say 0 because you are passing thinking mode in but those models don't have them. I got 23 on Opus 4.5. Also, I re-wrote an interpreter for the Lamb language, are you not including that to prevent future training runs from gaming it?
English
Comments:
- DeepSeek and Kimi are also VERY slow.
- They just think forever on my problems.
- They produce nicely elegant code though.
- GPT-5.5 surprisingly fast. Should it think more?
- Opus 4.6 is the best available model IMO
Link: lambench.org
English
DeepSeek is the best OSS model on LamBench . . .
That said, it is still not SOTA. I think Chinese labs are doing poorly because this is a new bench that they couldn't max for. These results align well with how smart they feel to me.
I'm rooting for them though 😕
I just wanna be free from Anthropic...
Also, Opus 4.6 > 4.7 and GPT 5.4 > 5.5 align with my experience. This whole bench captures my feelings extraordinarily well, and I did nothing other than write a bunch of problems and score the models...
Problems available on: VictorTaelin / LamBench

⛩️【THANK YOU - SAMURAI SHODOWN PLAYERS - VEGAS CLIMAX VI】🫂
I want to extend my deepest thanks to every single player who came out to Vegas Climax VI for Samurai Shodown. This community continues to show up with passion, respect, and heart, and it was an honor to host all of you.
Throughout the weekend, several players — veterans, newcomers, and travelers alike — shared how grateful they were to have TOs who go above and beyond to make sure the experience is as smooth, fair, and competitive as possible. Hearing that directly from you means more than you know. What especially moved me were the conversations I overheard with the Japan players. They expressed how pleased they were with their ability to execute their gameplay on the Xbox Series setups. Their feedback reinforced something our region has been fighting for and demonstrating for years: that Samurai Shodown simply plays at its best on Xbox Series.
After this tournament, I genuinely feel that the four-year effort to run SamSho on Xbox Series — across locals, regionals, majors, and community‑driven events — is finally being understood and recognized at a global level. The performance difference is real, and players from around the world felt it this weekend. My sincere hope is that this momentum, and the voices of the players who experienced it firsthand, will be meaningfully considered by those responsible for the upcoming SWC Finals.
Thank you again to everyone who competed, supported, traveled, and helped make Vegas Climax VI something truly special for the SamSho community.
You all made this event unforgettable❣️
