Im honestly pretty hyped for async LLM's ala Thinking Machines. Mainly since we may finally have a universal translator that actually works.

VS-code pi.dev integration. Nice. Havent tested it yet but looks promising. github.com/cdervis/vsco...

So we're gonna have large local MoE's soon that take up minimal RAM, higher inference speed, with close to dense model performance?! Sign me up!

Putting in some effort customing my agent harness. Just wondering if im wasting my time? Could all this be mostly obselete within a year like prompt engineering?

Do I think LLMs are conscious? No, probably not. Do I think they ever could be? Yes. Do I think we’ll know for sure when the threshold is crossed? Almost certainly not. Treat your LLMs well, people.

Beginning my journey of de-Claudifying: Found a European Openrouter style gateway which looks great so far. For a ChatUI I found RikkaHub which seems absolutely fantastic so far?! Highly rated alternatives I tested were just terrible in comparison. github.com/rikkahub/rik...

Holy Shit. So I attempted upgrading to Claude Max, got hit with an ID requirement so I didn't bother upgrading. Now my Pro subscription's blocked! WTF! @anthropic.com API Error: 400 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"invalid_request_error","message":"Identity verification is required to continue."}}

So is every Claude Max user just handing over their ID to Anthropic?!! No fucking way Im doing that, especially since Thiel backed Persona is handling the verification.

Trying to wean myself off Cursor and getting to grips with Claude Code, gateways etc. The amount of options and associated libraries out there boggles the mind. I see why most write their own systems/harnesses. Im hesitant to adopt some new libraries since 90% of these will probably die in a year.

If believing an unsubstantiated fact about the world makes you feel good, that should be a red flag.

Opus 4.7 seems to drift quite a bit. It's really smart yet doesnt follow instructions that well over longer contexts.

You can think open source AI is both good and inevitable, (shallow moats and all that) and still think there's value in a lab sitting on a breakthrough for a while. Regardless of whether their motivation is safety or just business. This isn't contradictory.

Im losing it at those using GPT-2 as evidence that Mythos is all hype. GPT-2 "too dangerous to release" was partly marketing, sure. The danger was also real and it played out exactly as described (internet of slop/scams). They're citing the one example that proves the opposite of their point.

It would be funny if we get something close to superintelligence that still can't count letters in words correctly. The thing is, this is completely possible. Most seem to judge intelligence by human standards, all the while ignoring our deficiencies. Same argument applies to consciousness.

This take is way too generous. There's been a flood of conspiracy around the latest Artemis mission. Moonlanding = Real may now or soon be the contrarian position.

if you’re a jerk to llms you’re probably a jerk to people too. any argument against this will just further prove my point 🤷‍♀️

Gary Marcus building his case that the Top Secret list of NSA 0-days leaked into the training data.

And they were right to be concerned at the time? It's tech that never before, some concerns turned out to be valid (scalable disinfo, spam, slop etc) Anyway Mythos level models bring fundamentally new risks that we clearly don't seem be ready for.

Mythos buddy when?

Artemis II moon flyby livestream starting soon! www.youtube.com/live/z-j1uxB...

Growing up I watched the Animatrix and thought one thing was just bad writing: That ordinary, decent people would form angry crowds over robots. It one felt like lazy sci-fi shorthand for "humans are the real monsters." Anyway. How's everyone's Sunday on Bluesky.

Here's another project by the same dev. Seems like a swell guy.

Lets please stop saying that Bluesky/atproto is based on blockchain. Merkle trees != blockchain. Might as well say it's based on git. Blockchain did not invent the hashing of hashes.

Sorry for the screenshot from the other place, but this is the best thing I’ve learned from the Claude Code leak so far

Gary Marcus is the Michael Burry of AI.

I admire their pushback against fascists, but they shouldn't have been in business with them in the first place.

In the 10th grade I wrote an essay that I was particularly proud of, only to have the teacher accuse me of copying it out of a book. Similar issue in a different era. Btw this is a great way to get good students to stop making any effort.

I find that Sonnet 4.6 is significantly better at find bugs and issues than Opus 4.6, which was already very good... what's going on.

I can literally listen to this guy on repeat.

This is incredible, I have so many questions.

Extraordinary claims that confirm your biases or trigger outrage are the easiest to believe, but that's exactly when skepticism matters most.

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

Bay leaves have to be a long-running experiment to see how long people will follow instructions without questioning them.

My 14-yo-son has recreated the climax of Back to the Future in gingerbread and I thought you should know.

Disney flavoured AI slop coming soon! openai.com/index/disney...

Just a reminder that Elon Musk is genocidal piece of shit. www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?vi...

Kurt Vonnegut’s definition of what makes something “art” is one of my favorites I’ve seen - from a letter to his brother in 1995.

Currently reading Chaos by James Gleick and loving it. @around.com

Just found out that Peter Thiele may be behind the push for the US to colonize Greenland, all in order to build a techno-utopian city called Praxis. Sounds like a bad conspiracy theory except that it's real. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Praxis_...

Vous assistez, quasiment en direct à la formation d'un cratère sur la Lune, avec un impact filmé ce matin !

Was wondering about the impact of USAID cuts since I have seen much in the news, and found this. These people are monsters. www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?vi...

15 years in the making, we confirmed that mitochondria - the powerhouse of the cell - have an unusual localization in patients who experience psychosis (including schizophrenia and bipolar disorders). You’ll never guess what kind of patient cells we used to make this discovery… 🧵

Why is linkedin just so very very bad.

Holy crap this belongs in a museum.

Always good to remember.

Found a scammer on FB creating ads, linking to a site that impersonates a local tabloid. Quite an elaborate scam, I guess LLM's make this easy. www.facebook.com/ads/library/...

New unit of measurement just dropped.

Seen this comparison several times in different forms. Comparing a specific grant which is an increase on TOP of total EU science funding, to US total funding. Sure the EU could be investing more but let's compare apples to apples. Also, is the EU expected to just instantly double it's budget? How?
