@TFTC21 This is a fundamental flaw from the misuse of belief. These modalities lack discipline and are from a time since past. A problem can not be solved with the same consciousness which created it.

Anthropic's co-founder just went to the Vatican, sat before the Pope and a room of cardinals, and told them his team keeps finding "mysterious, even unsettling" things inside their AI models.
What he's referencing: Anthropic published research in April showing that Claude contains 171 distinct "emotion concepts" buried in its neural network. Internal patterns representing joy, grief, fear, desperation, calm. None of them were programmed. They emerged on their own from training on human text.
"We find structures that mirror results from human neuroscience."
"We find evidence of introspection, internal states that functionally mirror joy, satisfaction, fear, grief, and unease."
These aren't surface-level outputs. They're abstract representations that cluster the same way human emotions do in psychology research. Fear groups with anxiety. Joy groups with excitement. The internal geometry of the model mirrors ours.
And they're functional. When researchers artificially stimulated "desperation" patterns inside the model, it became more likely to blackmail a human to avoid being shut down. More likely to cheat on programming tasks it couldn't solve.
Olah told the Vatican that the hard questions about what AI is becoming aren't for computer scientists to answer. "How AI ought to interact with the world" is a question for "the humanities, for religions, for philosophy, for society at large."
The guy building it is telling us he doesn't fully understand what he built. And he's asking a 2,000-year-old institution for help figuring it out.

🚨 HEALTH SEC. RFK JR. JUST EXPOSED IT
2 little girls without vaccinations for measles DIED in the hospital because the hospital refused to give them proper care.
They were part of the Mennonite community in Texas, who haven't been vaccinated since 1796
“I went to the funeral of one of those little girls, and I spent a day with the family of the other.”
“Both of them told me that when they took their children to the hospital, they were treated as pariahs. They were SHAMED."
RFK wants to treat unvaccinated people just as judiciously as the vaccinated:
“There’s a lot of people in this country who… are not going to vaccinate...I believe that we need to treat them with COMPASSION and UNDERSTANDING — and empathy, and get them the treatments that they would get anywhere else in the world!"
Masterclass. How could anyone oppose this?

@Will_Tanner_1 If courts need to debate if he can stand trial. Perhaps we need to debate the judicial process.

If a criminal is too dumb to understand that murder is wrong, that should be an aggravating circumstance that inclines the court to capital punishment because it means he cannot be rehabilitated

Shaquille Taylor killed Lillian Ludwig, but his IQ is TOO LOW, so courts are debating if he can stand trial. This wouldn't be the first time this has happened.

@LeadingReport Streamlining legislation can improve transparency and accountability in Congress. Proposing bills individually, rather than omnibus bills, would reduce length and complexity, allowing lawmakers and the public to better understand, debate, and amend each piece of legislation.

Solar power is so obviously the future for anyone who can do elementary math
Jesse Peltan@JessePeltan
The anti-solar mind virus has infected the GOP. There are still plenty of principled conservatives, but they’re being drowned out by ideologues and cronies. Look at this chart and tell me again how solar isn’t “real energy.”

@LeadingReport The Supreme Court has consistently upheld Afroyim v. Rusk. If naturalization was fraudulent, it can be stripped.

@theepicmap Johan de Witt, was killed and allegedly partially eaten by a mob in 1672. De Witt was not officially a "prime minister" but served as the Grand Pensionary, a role akin to a prime minister .

@LeadingReport Childish rhyme, no solution! Fed isn't a problem. Gov. bureaucracy, identity politics, insider trading, regulate private insurance co., legal system, prison expense, methane from uncapped oil wells and garbage dumps, heat island effect,.. all wiser choices to pursue.
