Mo Money, Mo Problems implies a monotonic function.

Derrida would have fucking loved byte-pair encoding. its ya boi
Microsoft and others used to make these slick “Vision of the Future” speculative promo videos that I always loved because they did design fiction work even if it was self-promoting. But it seems like those types of films fell out of favor over the last decade. It’s ya boi
Sat down for an interview with @robotson.media. Lemme know what you think!

Resolve: Nothing human makes it out of the near-future. This market resolves YES on January 1, 2035, if no human can articulate what ‘human’ meant in 2025 in a way that remains operationally coherent. Resolution oracle: GPT-7 or equivalent. It’s ya boi

gpt 5.4 is maybe slightly worse or within random variance levels than 5.2 at zero shot Lakota/English translation. So I don’t think they added any more Lakota to the training data between these two releases It’s ya boi
We propose a thermodynamic framework for understanding the spontaneous condensation of asynchronous institutional communications into synchronous obligation-events (“meetings”). It’s ya boi
scraping historical Dakota/Lakota translation texts to create some evals for flagship LLMs, which I understand to still be terrible at working in these particular low resource languages but i was challenged to produce some data about this so ... firing up my coding agents its ya boi
Watching “The Beauty” on Hulu, about an STI bioweapon that makes you young and pretty like The Substance. The fact that every commercial break is full of ads for GLP-1s and boner and hair pills is almost too on the nose but I guess we’re in post-ironic times. It’s ya boi
