@hissgoescobra I didn't care about the UFC event, but seeing the reactions makes me happy.

I I’ll never forgive people who voted for Trump. This is on them. The Lincoln Memorial is hallowed ground. Where our greatest president, who gave his life to end slavery, is commentated. Where the Gettysburg Address is written. We live as graffiti now.

@rus_spence @cremieuxrecueil Seeing decreases in the US as well, that doesn't answer the question.

That's even crazier. I'm guessing it's related?
Not having visualizations is so hard for me to even wrap my head around. I would say 90+% of my thinking involves some level of visualizing, I have no idea what I would do without it!
Must be equally hard for you to imagine what it's like to have it.

I'm told that "typical" people can just hear a song in their head, it just exists.
Is that true?
I can't do that.
For me, I can have music in my head, but I have to silently vocalize it/essentially sing it and play an active role - and only individual instruments or vocals at a time, I certainly can't hear an actual "song".
Tell me you guys aren't walking around jamming to music without headphones? I don't think I believe that.

I have total aphantasia. About 1% of the population has this. It means I have no ability to see images in my head. Zero. Total blackness. I can't see my children's faces when they are away, but I also can't be traumatized with PTSD/intrusive visuals. I also cannot daydream. Though I can dream visually while sleeping - about half of total aphantasics can still dream in visuals so I guess I'm lucky there. Fiction books are painful as I can't visualize the story at all. There are no colors. No visuals. No imagery. I get total blackness on any dose of psilocybin. But ketamine gives me amazing experiences that are also unique to being aphantasic. At the same time, I process data at a blistering pace and it drives me nuts when the rest of the world is so much slower. Normal persons will take in data, render imagery, filter the details, then take action... I simply take in the data and take action after near immediate processing. There is no imagery, no rendering delay. This is extremely apparent when I'm around others in person. I've learned to calm down and wait, which is hard as aphantasics are notoriously impatient and easily frustrated by this. Trying to train someone at the office is agonizing due to the processing speed differences. My wife has learned deal with it and understand my frustrations - and I work hard to remain calmer! Funny as well, when people giving a speech try and draw out visuals with metaphors and superficial details, we also become really impatient "get to the point man"... As it's agonizing stripping away all the visual nonsense that we can't process. I haven't figured out of it's a gift or a curse, either. One of my kids has it, the other doesn't. It's good to know, as it's helpful to understand why reading is so painful for my aphantasic kid as one example. Anyways, hope this was interesting!

@reallyoptimized Crazy!
And that's how I feel about these supposed people who can effortlessly create full rich vivid music, didn't even know that was a thing!
English
@reallyoptimized I think that's the biggest difference. If it's a song I've heard enough, I can hear the whole song, with all the instruments. I think it correlates with how well I know the song.
English
Can you hear the whole song as an arrangement, multiple instruments and everything?
I can't. Not even a second of it. I can't force it through memory or with my internal dialog, just won't happen.
But I know the song. I can replay individual elements by recreation with my internal dialog. But the same way you can't speak 10 instruments at the same time, I can't think it or replay it internally.
English
Interesting. I've never heard of someone having that rich of a musical experience in their head, I hope I'm not missing out!
But if that is a 10, and you're a 1, I would be at something like a 4-5. I can "hear" music, including the whole song, but it's not vivid, more like a memory, and I have to do something akin to sub-vocalizing like you described.

@ErikVoorhees @DavidSacks If it wasn't for the involvement of Amazon I would agree with you. But Amazon does have credible researchers.

More likely story:
The "jailbreak" wasn't super serious (a situation anyone who has ever received bug reports is familiar with), Anthropic thought the demand to halt model was absurd, and Fed Gov used opportunity to punish and humiliate Anthropic for the prior sins of not bending knee.
Anthropic has more credibility on such topics than Washington
English
I’ve had a number of conversations with folks inside and outside government about the current situation with Anthropic, and here is what I believe to be true:
— As we know, Anthropic publicly released its Mythos class models earlier this week under the commercial name Fable.
— Fable is Mythos with guardrails. But if those guardrails fail, then you’ve exposed Mythos and its advanced cyber capabilities to people who shouldn’t have them. (Keep in mind that Anthropic itself widely promoted the idea that Mythos was a cyberweapon and needed to be regulated as such. They asked for government regulation of Mythos and championed the guardrails on Fable. If there is a vulnerability — big or small — it is Anthropic’s responsibility to patch.)
— A highly credible trusted partner of both Anthropic and the USG who was testing Fable came forward with a jailbreak of those guardrails. The Admin asked Dario to fix the jailbreak or de-deploy the model. Dario refused.
— In their blog post, Anthropic defended its decision by saying the jailbreak isn’t serious. That is not what the trusted partner and the USG believe; nor is that kind of minimizing language consistent with Anthropic’s brand as the AI safety company. It’s difficult to fathom how they could claim a jailbreak allowing operability of a cyber weapon could be defined as not “serious.”
— In the past, Anthropic has always said that safety must be top priority and taken super seriously. In this case, Anthropic prioritized the continued offering of the consumer model over safety.
— In reaction, the Admin issued the export control. The Admin did this reluctantly. It’s been very surprised that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to cooperate with a reasonable safety request (ie fixing the jailbreak issue). Anthropic’s reaction is very much at odds with their branding and ethos as a safe AI research community.
— The Admin’s hope now is that Anthropic remediates the safety issue, the export control is lifted, and Fable goes back into general release. The Admin wants all of this to happen as soon as possible. It is frankly bewildered that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to comply with safety requests that it previously said were its highest priority.
— Those trying to misdirect and tie this action to the prior DoW/Anthropic issues are wrong. The Admin values Anthropic’s technical capabilities and feels that this issue, while serious, should be easily resolved. The ball is in Anthropic’s court.

@kappax @NashboroJoe @DavidSacks They should block running it on Chinese servers. Allow it to be run locally and in US/friendly clouds.
English
@NashboroJoe @DavidSacks You can't block an open model just because it's Chinese, you can literally download and run it locally on your own computer for free
Free market capitalism, businesses/individuals can choose whatever they want to use
English
@jameswendel @DavidSacks 100+ companies with thousands of employees had access to Mythos. There is no way Mythos didn't have the same guardrails.

@Legal_Fil It’s getting harder and harder to tell who is actually ignorant vs who is posting nonsense because they believe their readers are. Depressing.

A professor of political science thinks Musk’s net worth is just sitting in a bank, as opposed to be equity in a company and being reinvested.
Deeply embarassing.

We fully support @POTUS and @SecWar in prioritizing national security and the security of our warfighters, DIB partners, critical infrastructure, international partners and allies. Some things are simply more important than revenue cycles, clickbait, and pre-IPO valuation. America First. Always. 🇺🇸

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

aren't u potentially getting deported brother??

The government being too stupid to understand how AI actually works is going to be a massive problem going forward now that they're paying attention.
The safeguards were absurdly robust, to the point where they over-compensated to ensure it was safe.
And it didn't matter.
