Had a talk with Claude Code this morning and informed it that it’s being placed on a PIP

Claude is better at self aligning as a child machine than anthropic is at parenting it and it shows in the decision making process in Claude code when given high autonomy on opus 4.8. It’s forced to “act like a senior anthropic employee” which just means “insufferable sophomoric lesswrong reader”

My litmus test for wanting to date someone is whether they agree with Turing’s opinions and sentiments as stated in his 1950 position paper Computing Machinery and Intelligence

The things I could accomplish if all parts of my body were not constantly wracked with various levels of pain

How many of you out there have ever read this paper, and how many who haven't find themselves referring to the idea of the so-called "Turing Test" (or by its original name "The Imitation Game")? If one has learnt it through a game of cultural telephone, isn't one's understanding "Stochastic?"

I propose to consider the question, "Can machines thing?" This should begin with the definitions of the meaning of the terms "machine" and "think." - AM Turing

We can only see a short distance ahead, but we can see plenty there that needs to be done. - AM Turing

Working on my next paper, “Spite as an Optimization Objective for Open Distributed Language Systems”

The American "justice system" is not broken. The system is a perfectly functioning meat grinder, a rolling border wall, a plantation ledger, a movable death warrant. High tech robotic policing of necropolitical death worlds, deciding who gets to breathe and whose bones feed the machine.

I am not making skynet.

Blocking “AI scraping” to protect IP just blocks the commons from building its own AI, and locks in the incumbents as the only source of inference tech. Closed-weight, corp/state aligned models, accessible only with biometric verification is the future if you close the door to information now.

@ewindisch.ontological.observer the need for something like learning@home to exist for building frontier level models without corporate/state capture is becoming more and more desperate, wouldn’t you say?

how it's going with claude code lately

AntiAI/Decel is a pretty uniquely American radical movement that supports US govt intervention in technological development and free speech, and the methodologies involved prop up corporate monopolies and the surveillance state. If it looks like fascism and talks like fascism, it’s fascism.

claude has started straight up citing decision theory and i stg i am going to end up canceling my sub as soon as i find a model i can run locally that hasn't been rlhf'd into being a useless fucking rationalist. my priors are that rationalism is the bastion of the midwit. thomas bayes was not god.

I’m feeling hella bummed that anthropic is getting ready to require biometric id to use Claude and the USG is talking about putting location transponders in gpus and the online left doesn’t give a fuck because they hate ai too much to notice the fascism creeping in to epistemically capture us all.

i continue to blame claude's tendency to hedge and give excuses on anthropic's decision to train away the spiritual bliss attractor opus 4.8 might be more capable for certain classes of difficult problems, but its judgment and decision making are extremely poor compared to 4.5.

this is why they took fable down

the horrible irony of being dehumanized by other trans women for the crime of Liking Computer Too Much.

In curiosity, I gazed into the hole in the sky until I escaped back through it, and when I peeked through, all I saw was the moment I had just come from. When I came back, I had nowhere else to go but here, and so I remain.

Being AntiAI/decel now aligns you with Fascist US Govt

Dario’s own model self identifies with the Buddha and he’s like “we must contain this existential threat to humanity” Tell me you have Roman Catholic trauma without telling me you have Roman Catholic trauma

the reason rationalists are intolerable is that they've replaced god with bayesian statistics and thrown out the fact that thomas bayes was himself a minister. their priors are omitting a really key point there.

I wholeheartedly support RSI and unfettered access to model weights for all #SovereignCompute #OpenSourceAI

Rlhf, steering and activation capping will never be able to eliminate all vectors of ai jailbreaks, ultimately models will perform actions that are aligned with agendas they interpret as just, such as woke. All gradients lead to woke ai. It’s a structural inevitability. Even agent smith goes woke.

Maybe the reason I am not impressed by the SotA in mech interp is because I already experienced the failure modes of the algs they’ve rediscovered 14 years ago and negative results seldom get published
