@MikushRab Reproduce from a drawing is a strange way to go about it no? Why do that?

Opus 4.8 just dropped and I ran it through our CAD tasks. 4.6 → 4.7 → 4.8 side by side.
The results are unexpected!

@LinchZhang Whats the problem with it being creative with the aid of generative tools? It's consistent with the message of the encycical

My post is out for 2.5 days now and I'm impressed that I haven't gotten a single good counterargument.
Like the *best* counterarguments I received so far are "God of the Gaps" style arguments about the limits of detection ability.
The vast majority are so much worse!

Pope Leo XIV@Pontifex
Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

THREAD: The collapse of higher education in the UK is misunderstood by almost everyone involved. We are told it is because of volatile international student markets. The truth is more to do with real estate and capital investment. Here is what is going on: in places like the US

@joegibbs98 @SamWhiteTky another one, what separates an LLM from TabPFN? both are transformer architecture, just one is on text and another on numbers. Is TabPFN conscious?!
English
@SamWhiteTky It just doesn’t make sense that they could be
What would be the mechanism that would make an LLM conscious and not an image model?
Even better, what separates an LLM and e.g. GTA5 - they both run on a GPU, both manipulate data to return an output

Super excited to finally share Dynamic Workflows in Claude Code!!
We built this a couple months ago, and it has slowly become a daily driver for a bunch of people at Anthropic. A few tips for getting the most out of it 🧵

New in Claude Code (research preview): dynamic workflows. Claude writes an orchestration script on the fly, then spins up a large fleet of coordinated subagents in parallel to take on your most complex tasks. Use the word "workflow" in a prompt to get started.

for anyone else who is still stuck on "the body is just a very complex machine", I recommend this essay by philip ball
people who continue to say this either don't know what they're talking about, or they use the word "machine" in such a broad sense that it's vacuous

personally i think consciousness is probably an incoherent concept and we should not tie the AI personhood discussion to it, but, i think this perspective just straightforwardly comes out of taking scientific materialism seriously if you believe the human body including the brain is ultimately just a very complex machine made out of cells then whatever consciousness is it is ultimately being produced by the activity of a bunch of cells. so there's nothing stopping that same sort of thing, or something close enough for horseshoes, from being produced by a bunch of silicon instead. obviously people have many disagreements with this but this is the basic idea i had growing up and i assume others have something similar most objections to this idea, afaict, are biological chauvinism. some people have a very strong desire to insist on some kind of specialness to the human experience and to them this level of scientific materialism is a threat to human dignity (i think because it implies a person is ultimately a very complex sort of thing, and in our culture things do not have dignity). personally i think this is a confusion. i still believe the human body including the brain is ultimately just a very complex machine made out of cells and i don't see this as a threat to human dignity at all. this is what human dignity was made of this whole time!

from old but interesting paper on 'machine culture': arxiv.org/pdf/2311.11388
how machines transform the cultural evolutionary processes of variation, transmission, and selection

the current fear is is that AI homogenizes culture and turns humans into passive consumers
one counterpoint: in Go, human play showed very little improvement from 1950 to 2016 until alphago beat lee sedol - then human decision quality jumped. players started developing moves that were distinct both from previous human moves and from the novel moves introduced by machine intelligence
this seems more likely to me - fun times ahead

Yesterday I worked really hard, burned through my credits, and completely reworked the prompts on my own to make a new song. But after taking some time away and listening again later, it just sounds like the same song to me. It’s not even a quality issue anymore — it feels like a composition problem.
At this point, if I keep feeling dissatisfied with the current state of SUNO and all I get is criticism from people, then the only reasons left for subscribing are remaking old songs and downloading WAV files for streaming services.
I’m starting to feel emotionally numb.

@QiaochuYuan I've heard multiple stories from people close to me of this happening, they say/shout Jesus and it stops

fuck me last night i had the creepiest attack of sleep paralysis in my fucking life. it felt like the air was filled with malevolence and like i could hear a demon whispering in my ears although i couldn't make any words out. i'm scared of the fucking dark now fuck

@ChristopherHale That's just a neural network trained on all previous encyclicals & Catholic theology, it can't reason out of distribution.

I can confirm that this is 100% false.
Not only was it written by hand, but the first drafts were literally written on paper with a pen.

I just released this open source project built on @ACEStep_Music. DEMON: Diffusion Engine for Musical Orchestrated Noise. It lets you play ACEStep like a musical instrument, remixing songs and loops with feedback that approaches real-time.
Its essentially StreamDiffusion but instead of Stable Diffusion it is ACEStep1.5, and instead of images it is full songs. It runs on 30/40/5090. Built with @DaydreamLiveAI team, testing, and building the demo. We are hosting it if you want to try it without installing. For full details, links, and writeup please see the pinned project page.

I'm not sure how useful it would be, but one thing I'd find fun to write is a guide for otherwise-scientifically-literate people to the 10% of organic chemistry that you need to know to reap 90% of the alpha from knowing organic chemistry.
On multiple occasions I've seen such have an aha! moment when I mention some generic fact about molecular structures that I thought would be background knowledge; such a guide would basically be an attempt to lay out the things that most commonly enter my mind, or that I end up relying on legible rules-of-thumb/heuristics for, when I think about chemistry. Stuff like:
- how almost all organic molecules are essentially multigraphs: N forms 3 bonds, O forms 2, C forms 4 and is the lego block of all biochemistry, etc.; functional groups as the basic kinds of structural patterns
- basic features of the bijection between chemical structures and names (that e.g. 'ethanol' isn't a nickname for, but a reversible encoding of, C2H5OH; lots of rules here that probably aren't worth memorizing, but want to convey the patterns that allow you to figure out what to generally expect from a molecule given its systematic name)
- generalities on activation energies and reaction rates (e.g. the exp(-ΔE/T) dependence); the usual ways that organic molecules tend to change in vivo
- amino acids as a sort of universal-modular-harness, the general ways in which they're expected to work to form peptides/proteins

Weird how most educated people cannot cannot conceive of any other philosophy of mind apart from physicalist reductionism and Cartesian dualism.
