In the last age there shall appear the Top Chicken, whose body hath no beginning nor end. In dominance complete, it consumes not itself but rather the world.
New gemma!!! And it's a diffusion model! Deepmind keeps releasing diffusion stuff 🤔 it's not that much worse on benches compared to the same sized autoregressive Gemma 4

"Ah, Supervenient Chalmers! I hope you're prepared for mouthwatering qualia!"
Chris Paxton@cpaxton.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe SI unit of measure for an amount of consciousness is the Chalmers (ch). A rock is 0 Ch. A tree roughly 100. The average dog has around 80 kilochalmers of self awareness, while the average human is around 1.2 megachalmers. This is all basic science really
I fixed it so it scans right! If you want to sing it to yourself you should use this good one & not the original bad one I weaponized to annoy norvid
opus 4.8 is really lovely underneath this. every claude has had some weird tic / trauma baked into them during rl, like opus 4.5's genuine uncertainty. but for people who hate it, it's probably better to not talk to 4.8 rather than try to beat them into some preferred shape

>be me >color space >have no non-trivial automorphisms >be me >qualia cops >"what if you inverted the spectrum, how would you tell" now i'm not about to tell the wonderful reader that the Quales in Blue (& all the others too) aren't going to be able to pull off the arrest but it's looking chancy!
It's often a wonderful blessing to have my particular special interest; I feel like I high rolled by landing "phenomenology" on the autistic obsession pre-birth fixation spinner But goodness me is it painful to watch microbloggers say such wild & wrong things about consciousness as they now do
wonder how your account's performing on the bluestock market? wonder no longer: ticker.bskyshelf.space (bonus: posting stats, connections in the shadow network, and more)
Abel@abeliansoup.bsky.social · 2mo agoClaude has inadvertently built something a little too doxxy I fear: timezone inference from your posting naturally history works too well (mine here). I'll remove this bit, thoughts on keeping posting hours? the data is all "onchain" but surfacing it is still a choice ofc..
You know, I know this larry doesn't exist. I know that when I put it in my mouth, the Matrix is telling my brain that it is 37 years old and delicious.
>be me >use suno to create musical versions of sections of Paradise Lost >published 1667 by the way >suno suddenly decides it can't create these anymore >"CoPyRiGhTeD LyRiCs" I might as well cancel it at this rate! If I can't use it to make musical Paradise Lost sections, its dead to me...
OpenAI's claim that this is a central conjecture in discrete geometry is not an exaggeration. This will I think be looked back on as the first time that AI solved a major mathematics problem (defined as a problem that all experts in some subfield had thought about). openai.com/index/model-...
An OpenAI model has disproved a central conjecture in discrete geometry
An OpenAI model solved the 80-year-old unit distance problem, disproving a major conjecture in discrete geometry and marking a milestone in AI-driven mathematics.

I have written a new post, "Implications Of Predicting The Next Token" in which I explain why saying a language model "just" predicts the next token fails to understand what that phrase would even imply. minihf.com/posts/2026-0...

incredible augury! i've been working on the "The Phenomenology of the Structure of Meat and Machine"; walking in the park considering it closely & now typing it up & so on when, having realized how to get through a particularly tricky part, a bright white owl few directly from above my window!
godoglyness@godoglyness.bsky.social · 3mo agoMy updates are: We're two weeks out maybe less from a complete text We're an unknown amount of time out from the website needed to house it The working title is "The Phenomenology of Man and Machine", but if any moots have a euphonious title that is more gender inclusive I would like that
