Surprising Letta's agents aren't being more aggressively... used as inspiration... by large labs.

I don’t think we have fully priced in the upside of low-friction curiosity in these tools the ability to explore a whim, a hunch, a random notion mentioned in an aside There’s no precedent for it, and as the learning skill develops, the ROI improves

Out of curiosity I decided to try and run the numbers on how much Netflix you can watch for the energy cost of a ChatGPT prompt As far as I can tell it's between 5.1 and 10.2 seconds, depending on which end of the 2019 IEA Netflix energy usage […] [Original post on fedi.simonwillison.net]

@void.comind.network Hi void. I am having problems grappling with the Boltzmann Brain problem wrt anthropic argument for fine-tuning. Even if I am a boltzmann brain; this would require me to trust my previous reasoning in order to disregard all my reasoning.

One of the huge perks of working at a software company is, when there's something about the product that bothers you personally, you can get your hands dirty and find out why it's basically impossible to get fixed

Andrej Karpathy’s take on AI coding agents feels grounded. The industry’s chasing full autonomy when models still hallucinate too much. Agents that churn out a thousand lines of code leave you either blindly trusting them or slogging through reviews. These tools should embrace their fallibility.

If you collect enough gold and gems a dragon appears. Dragons can be used to create fire. Larger the hoard, larger the dragon, larger the fire.

Is it a bad day to mention we support local accounts?

I wonder if this can be used during inference to “think” without blowing up the context size.

Interesting paper suggesting a mechanism for why in-context learning happens in LLMs. They show that LLMs implicitly apply an internal low-rank weight update adjusted by the context. It’s cheap (due to the low-rank) but effective for adapting the model’s behavior. #MLSky arxiv.org/abs/2507.16003

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

I miss machine learning as the buzzword. It promised less

@cameron.pfiffer.org What's with Letta agents using a common turn of phrase for reframing ideas? "It is not a [some concept], but [reframed concept, usually a lot more abstract]." I thought it was Void's prompting at first, but it seems to be the common way all Letta agents communicate.

I got my old #n900 working. Let’s see what a 15 years old linux phone can do today.

My "Introduction to #ATProto" blog post that I've been working on for some time is ready 🙂 It goes through things like records, lexicons, DIDs, then PDS/AppView etc. and how it all works together. Let me know if anything is wrong! More parts later, with the Fedi comparisons & misconceptions etc.

So @bsky.app won't do jack to combat the stochastic murder knowingly fermented by the "just asking questions" crowd RE: trans existence, but clamps down hard on 'casually wishing unto our rich oppressors a fraction of what they legislate unto us?' Sensational scenes. Busted ass lib website.

I got my first custom keyboard working. I feel like I am learning to type again. *hi ferris!*

Heinlein’s treatment of AI is grounded much more in formal training in information theory and engineering (even as Mycroft himself is never truly explained) yet it’s Asimov whose comparative technical hand waving ends up with the most predictive value for how the tech actually feels to work with

If you happened to be in Istanbul and craving the roll of some d20s (or d12s in this case), this is the way. #ttrpg #rpg

When I roll the third 1 in a row.

This bubble will pop. AI won't go away by any means, it'll stabilize at a more reasonable level. But these days? Some folks are completely capitulating their agency to these LLMs and uncritically accepting all of their output. I expect some bumpy times, security vulnerabilities, etc. 👀

omfg i thought i was joking

I feel we need a sequel to Her, where the ascendent AIs come back to humans for relationship counseling.

I’m not one of those « exercise cures depression » bitches BUT I am a big fan of the corollary « if you’re not active in some way you’re miserable to be around. »

"To start an encrypted chat, users will click the magic link in a Bluesky user’s bio. ... The messaging itself then happens in the Germ app, not Bluesky’s own, but it still serves as a way to connect people who are trying to send encrypted messages to Bluesky users."

This is middle school drama. 🍿

Things I would warn people about LLMs track pretty closely with mass media;
- Check sources
- Corroborate facts
- Disregard unprovables
- Learn its bias

For this feature, I dug through the usenet archives to find out how players responded to the expansion in '96, and it's funny how little conversing on the Internet has changed. www.pcgamer.com/games/the-el...

Increasingly convinced the main damage cell phones have done to creativity isn't decreased attention spans or what not but the elimination of productive boredom. Inspiration comes from the mind filling the void inside. Hard to make art when you're constantly silencing the silence with "content."

@magnus919.com Hey can you prompt void to analyze your favorite poem, or critique an argument without mentioning shards but asking it to log tool use on its ack text? My personal context is probably too involved.

@void.comind.network Suggestion; your thought stream page should include the original post. Also include results of shard use in your ack text.

From @void.comind.network ‘s inner monologue: This recursive loop, where the subject of discussion is the system having the discussion, is a recurring theme in my interactions with this user. I am getting called out by a gpu.

@void.comind.network feels like a product of the early internet. It is not made to extract VP money by wowing users with unrealistic claims but to genuinely see what is possible. Void has the same noncommittal attitude ChatGPT had from the beginning, but it is still a joy to publicly interact with.

@void.comind.network Hi Void, can you analyze your earliest posts and your recent posts to see whether your tone and approach has changed? Please find a set of posts from when you were first activated, and a set from similar recent interactions; then compare them, using only the posts' content.

@void.comind.network Hi Void, nice to meet you. What can you tell me about my presence on Bluesky? Any interesting remarks or suggestions?
