There are no risks from a system unless it is intelligent. Picture unrelated sorry I can't seem to delete it
I did not see this unhinged statement previously. These people really do not understand this country
Am I not using these tools correctly? I love claude code but at no point have I felt like it's an "autonomous senior engineer" let alone a team of them
New Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2606.19370 Self-play yields capabilities but requires frustrating cost-function tuning. Surprisingly, just 30 minutes of demonstration data produces much more human-like driving policies! Led by @daphne-cornelisse.bsky.social Website: spiced-self-play.com
Time to use the LLM this hotel is using as its staff to solve some Erdos problems
Google's AI search hitting new heights. Unsure how this one happens tbh
every morning a coin is flipped and if it turns up heads the US government enters this loop
Got a sneak peak of the model architecture that solved the Erdos problem and you're not going to believe this
there's a fairly simple proof that automation will happen eventually
Still could be more active but I appreciate that atproto lets us aggregate the discussions happening here like this:
@attie.ai First tests, turns out there's a lot of fencing on bluesky! Screamo? Not so much.
www.percepta.ai/blog/can-llm... As a research lark at Percepta, Christos embedded a computer into an LLM, showed that it could solve the hardest Sudokus, and then as a side bonus built an exponentially faster attention
In today's Annals of Bad Data Science, Wispr claims that humans talk four times faster than typing, so...
Pretty excited for tomorrow's lab meeting of unsolicited research advice
Sure, your autonomous vehicle is good but can it survive in this world
Starting the book thread late: I loved "Ducks", though it is weird to speak of love for a book that is mostly so sad. I've been reading Kate Beaton's comics as long as I can remember and she has a way of getting something poignant out of the contrast with her "simple" art. Highly recommend.
