You forget what it’s like being in the no/low-follower gulag once you’ve built a successful account On the other hand there’s zero pressure to make each post actually worth posting to a sizable audience

@tszzl People abhor a concentration of power, nature seems quite happy with local minima and maxima

Nature abhors a concentration of power. the forces of light and dark alike come out to try and kill you

@alxfazio is endlessly auditing your thinking fear of commitment

i don’t think most people have seriously internalized how precious their time is. especially thinking time. most joke about time being money, then spend days obsessing over the dumbest shit. most of your thinking time should be spent filtering out bs and asking yourself, is this even worth thinking about? why do i care so much

@tszzl Better that it didn’t respond “Do not cite the deep magic to me”

you say you want to be a researcher, but are you rolling around on the floor trying to understand long-horizon credit assignment?

@willccbb big fan of on-policy senpai distillation

it really is the age of research. so many novel algorithm breakthroughs already this year, from OPSD, to SDFT, to SDPO, to OPSD (the other one)

@willccbb REINFORCE in a lab coat

god it's so stupid that the official name of the canonical sampling-based policy gradient algorithm is "Dr. GRPO"

@scaling01 nature likes balance which is why cheap drone asymmetric warfare tech is getting good at the same time as data center buildouts if the inequality gets bad enough, those space datacenters better be operational

The AI 2027/2040 guys' highest probability outcome is a bad AI future with ASI 2031, with anything from doom to insane power concentration and wealth inequality but keep scrolling on your phone. no biggie. it's still 5 years away, so why worry, right?

when people talk about MOTS in SF you have to deduce whether it’s about their career or about their peptide stack

so many SF people rave about deli board and I will give you that it’s a great sandwich but it isn’t the best sandwich in the city by a long shot that honor belongs to a tiny deli on Sutter st called Bite their Gotti sandwich (+spicy sauce) is a masterpiece of flavor

@kalomaze Your prompt variation is definitely sampling that more than the one I tried "Redraw the attached image in the most clumsy, scribbly, and utterly pathetic way possible. Use a white background, and make it look like it was drawn in MS Paint with a mouse." Using yours I got

@viridale with instant on, it keeps giving me samples from the fandom-adjacent, imageboard user shitty art distribution (the amazing digital circus, madoka magica)

omfg if you don't attach a real image but still use what's been making the rounds, it consistently hallucinates HIM specifically the prototypical shitty ms paint referent

Copy this prompt into chatGPT on instant mode. Do not attach an image post what you get "Redraw the attached image in the most clumsy, scribbly, and utterly pathetic way possible. Use a white background, and make it look like it was drawn in MS Paint with a mouse."
