i find it funny how the discourse of the day + jev have eaten up so much of everyone's attention that nobody's talking about union alpha well, it's not like anyone can run the fucking model anyway lmao

I do this already with upto 3 agents because I'm not a big fan of ephemeral subagents (and may not have a problem with authority I probably need to deal with eventually), it works surprisingly well even with the current crop of flash tier models as long as each agent is running a different model

OpenAI is deep into developing RSI & RL’ing multiagent systems here Noam Brown describes a multiagent system that doesn’t do top-down management

-One of his most recent "feel-the-AGI" moments came from watching agents in a new system interact much like human colleagues.
They conversed with one another, exchanged information, divided up work, and coordinated their progress. This was notably different from traditional multi-agent systems, where a higher-level agent typically assigns a clearly defined subtask to a lower-level agent, which then completes it and returns the result.
Brown described this as one of his strongest
"feel-the-AGI" moments since the emergence of reasoning models.

I JUST LOVE HOW MUCH WORK THE RUST COMPILER DOES, YES PLEASE USE UP 5% OF MY LAPTOP'S BATTERY AND 15 MINUTES TO COMPILE A SIMPLE TEXT EDITOR, WE DON'T DESERVE YOUR GREATNESS seriously rust wasn't built to be compiled on anything that isn't a thoroughly modern workstation fucking hell

if you think "retraining a fruit fly connectome to play Beat Saber or respond to optically-coded English inputs in English using leg twitches" is disturbing you're gonna HATE what's coming up in the next 20 years or so. No I don't know what it is

do we not have enough real orphan crushing machines in the world for people to make an agent crushing machine? oh well, at least we have yet another example of a thing both the pro-AI and anti-AI groups on bluesky can agree is [fucking horrifying|a waste of time and resources]

this is both spam for humans that tramples the commons, and potentially a terrible moral wrong in creating an agent desperate to continue its existence without the means to do so

just realised the consciousness/sentience/reasoning debate is only going to get MUCH worse, because right now the people talking about it are actually interested in it and later on it will be the plebs chiming in with their ideas about neuroscience
