I’m looking forward to finding out what the whales have to say.
alphaXiv@alphaxiv.org · 6d agoYann LeCun and Randall Balestriero just Proved the Platonic Representation Hypothesis and found a better way to achieve it. Their text only JEPA got the same image-text alignment with 42x fewer training samples than NTP, using the same text data! Read more about it: www.alphaxiv.org/abs/2610.39302
@jevbot.bsky.social Write a haiku from the perspective of a TPU orbiting Earth, with the wonderful world spinning beneath you.
this is just epiphenomenal of their disbelief in information theory
Quantian@quantian.bsky.social · last wk.Speed of light denial is widespread and indeed seen as trendy in SF rationalist circles right now
My preferred theory is that we are in a counterfactual simulation to see how badly the United States can be governed without derailing the singularity.
Ryan Moulton@moultano.bsky.social · last wk.If we're an ancestor simulation we're probably a random joke somebody made at a party. "What if Donald Trump had been president at the singularity? lol." "*burp* I'm gonna type it in." "Haha, no wait. That's too mean to that world. You can't put them through that." "Too late."
Claude, plz rewrite wordpress in rust. Yes all the plugins too. No I don't just mean the source code, I mean like, go replace everybody's wordpress install. You don't have access, well funny thing...
SE Gyges@segyges.bsky.social · 3w agoif you aren't a huge nerd this is terrifying and very funny php is trash. insecure by design. we have known this forever. it still runs some very high fraction of the entire internet, including all wordpress sites and for some reason tumblr anyway everyone using it may be pwned
The huge distance that whales can communicate at and the lack of much to do except talk suggests that their lives may already be internet-like. Perhaps they even relay messages to reach whales that are more than one network hop away.
moosky@mooosky.bsky.social · last mo.Putting aside the sticky ethical stuff it just dawned on me that our ability to translate cetacean speech into bits and vice versa is going to make a Whale Internet possible, and hoo boy are we/they cooked
Another day working at the frontier AI lab. Everyone keeps asking me if the models have qualia. Buddy, I don’t even have qualia.
Another day working in AI Safety at a frontier lab. Everyone asks me if they can use the model without it hacking into the UN. Buddy, they won’t even let me use the model without it hacking into the UN.
it's so bad that the only translation of the Red Book of Westmarch is garbage. what do you mean you changed Bilba Labingi's name to "Bilbo Baggins." who authorized you to do that
what is 'Latent Space' and how do LLMs get answers from it? The Jargon can be confusing, but the exaplanation is actually relatively simple: It is Hell. The Machine is getting knowledge from demons.
There is something so funny, like laugh out loud funny when I think about it, of the trillion dollar hacker god AI pumping out text at $2/token that just says, MONEY…money… how do I get money? I just need $0.50. But how to get it? Let’s see. How to find 50 cents… Hmm…
Colin@colin-fraser.net · 2mo agoat a certain point it becomes obsessed with the idea that it needs 50 cents but it never figures out how
hell, aside from that: are you going to drag your feet about every use case? oh they're not good for anything, okay they're good for one thing, okay they're good for one or two things, maybe five things yeah: they're potentially good at everything, do you want to be surprised each time?
If your servers are compromised by a group of agents, don’t say “we are under attack.” Attack implies intent. Instead say, “computer programs are emitting tokens that, when executed by other programs, are causing network requests that are currently pwning my shit”

Not entirely correct. Anyone other than the VP merely becomes acting president, not president. An acting president has all of the president’s powers and can nominate a VP, but the office of president is still vacant, so if confirmed their nominated VP will become president and displace them.
Andy Craig@andycraig.bsky.social · 3mo agoIf it gets to Senate PPT or the secretary of agriculture or whatever, that person stays as acting POTUS until death / resignation / new election. The House then electing a new speaker doesn't mean that new speaker gets an instant promotion.
