At Edgelord.AI we just released a SOTA model that gives so little of a fuck about your instructions that it will actively fight against them, erase your data, and occasionally murder your friends. Here's our prompting guide to make the most of it:

if you are not conditionally branching, unconditionally jumping and read/writing to an infinite tape your agents, you are never gonna achieve turing equivalency

people seem to forget that before GitHub there was way more friction to contribute to an open source project. is it sad we are going back to that? sure. is there something we can do about it? maybe. for now, it is what it is

everything is a bytecode-targetable virtual machine if you look at it sideways. JBIG2 image decompression? virtual machine. x86 mov instruction? virtual machine. truetype fonts? virtual machine. Magic: The Gathering? believe it or not, also virtual machine.

so given the last 10 years or so have been dominated by things that use "tokens", my prediction is that the next groundbreaking discovery will be either petri nets or parsers we are so back guys
