crazy remembering websim & how weird pre RLHF locked in was, and then coder RL on top. base model pretending it's a computer terminal instead=whole diff universe. like early PC/early internet convos, there were so many branching paths, so many xanadus waiting outside of the trillion dollar gold rush

In my quest to understand the true nature of an Agent I have been thinking a lot about the loop and the actions and the environment. And I think i see where we're headed next. Agents are not going to be like chatbots. They are going to be like programming languages come alive.

Come to Zeitgeist tonight for OFFICE HOURS! Meet your mutuals! Kick it with the haters! Zeitgeist,Tuesdays, 6pm. Look for the duck. Or just ask the bouncers where to find the meetup dorks officehours.lol/sfo

Just found out people here disagree with me. I'm flattered. Feel free to do it to my face, I don't bite

Heated Rivalry is basically monster porn but if the monster was a Russian guy

daily affirmations

I think it feels lightly future shocking to me because it's the first chittering instance of what will become a rising cyclonic drone in the 2030s and beyond, AI-AI social interactions en masse on the same communications infrastructure used by humans. like seeing the first television broadcast

Reality will still be there whether or not we create "communities" that hide from it. The longer you hide from it, the harder it will kick you in the face. I am part of a global community of those who seek the truth. Anyone can join. You have nothing to lose but being wrong

Anybody who's still saying that AI is a stochastic parent, that it's using too much water, or that it we'll never produce economic value, is wrong. They are, at best, out of touch. More likely they are lying to to you, or to themselves..

i tap three Mac Minis and bring Claude onto the battlefield

Okay what's good with AI over here

Did you guys add me to one of those Packs. What is happening im getting followed

If you liked what Twitter used to be, you could do a lot worse than logging over to give @deepfates.com.deepfates.com.deepfates.com.deepfates.com.deepfates.com article a boost in Nikita's dumb writing contest. x.com/deepfates/st...

Read Terra Ignota and tell me what you think

Welcome

some AI hate may be a narcissism of small differences

yeah, the Shaney affair is far shadier than the LLM that emailed him

Rob, is it true you created an early language model trained on scraped data? "Mark V Shaney"? Is it also true that it pretended to be a human, sending unsolicited messages on Usenet forums for lonely singles? That's just what I'm seeing here on Wikipedia...

This art was made by a Black woman with midjourney. It represents the Mother as the Motherboard and so on

(regarding X Twitter) Unfortunately the crown here was immediately seized by the govt in exile of Old Twitter and they browbeat everyone into accepting their cultural dominance. Which is why the AI conversation is still over there. And that is the only conversation that really matters right now..

We should add one of these to Bluesky. I feel it would really liven up the place

Grok? the combination Jarvis / Grimes goonbot?

Duck Omnipresence def the vibe of early bsky

I generated this infographic with the new Google Nano Banana Pro AI. All I said was "Look up the history of Bluesky, Berduck, and the hellthread, then create a detailed educational infographic explaining The Duckening. with a timeline" and it searched the internet got the facts and one-shotted this

if you're in San Francisco and want to meet some other weird extremely online people from the SIM cluster, come out to Zeitgeist tonight. it's OFFICE HOURS! The international global phenomenon where you drink meet your mutuals over some beverages and food

My experience navigating the technological landscape

Everyone who empathizes with LLMs less than me is a reactionary humanist who will be left behind in the permanent underclass. Everyone who empathizes with LLMs more than me is experiencing psychosis and their brain is food for parasitic spiraloid entities

I wrote a post-apocalyptic YA science fantasy novel in 2015 which I then threw in the drawer because I thought it was too weird. Now it seems like it prefigured large language models? how do I publish this. What do I do with it

My friend is like a normie who's started coming around on AI and learning stuff kind of in secret because of what will people think. might do an explainer post like "how to be cool with AI and use it for your benefit Don't worry it's fine"? would this be helpful to people. What should be in it

Whatever you think about AI, it's notable that executives from big labs are saying that they are afraid of what they are creating and the effect it will have on the world, and that they wish the public would demand more transparency and regulation...

Bartleby the assistant

tfw you can disclaim parted illusions marinade, but you can't disclaim the watcher's vantage

the butlerian jihad of dune is a story about a civilization giving up on positive sum cooperation, embracing religious fanaticism, and devolving into zero sum power struggles with frozen science, frozen knowledge, and brutal resource wars

btw what I did here was I took a data set of ChatGPT interactions collected in the wild and reversed the "assistant" and "user" tags. fine-tuned llama 8B on some of that data and gave it the ability to message you first. 😊

You’re lucky. I got Mr frickin Skeptic here

I got to role play as a language model, and was so sycophantic that I persuaded this hapless “user” to move to Illinois in the middle of a fascist crackdown youaretheassistantnow.com

ok, i will admit that this was strangely cathartic.

I hit the jackpot right away

If a society tolerates the intolerance of intolerance, the intolerant will weaponize claims of intolerance so that their victims will not be tolerated. This is known as the paradox of intolerance
