Aushinon System Card: Claude Mythos Preview [pdf]

You're either trolling or being incredibly obtuse. LLMs are not conscious, they're guess-the-next-state algorithms. This is so dumb I can't believe I have to share a planet with people who are losing touch with such a fundamental reality

Aushinon America Is Now a Rogue Superpower

Yeah man, Allen Dulles was just a humble civil servant.

Aushinon We haven't seen the worst of what gambling and prediction markets will do

Was thinking this as well. Not shocking though, the pundit class, of which Derek is a high-ranking member, is pretty unimaginative (in a way I imagine is deliberate)

Aushinon We haven't seen the worst of what gambling and prediction markets will do

Just give an example, dude. Stop being abstract.

What about just no house of lords?

Our society is obsessed with <the appearance of> work

No he's pretty clearly asking you for evidence that AI improves productivity.

Aushinon The L in "LLM" Stands for Lying

I mean, the police probably shouldn't have firearms and the second amendment is one of the worst legal creations in human history.

Aushinon An AI agent published a hit piece on me

It can't be "autonomous" any more than malware on your computer is autonomous.

Aushinon An AI agent published a hit piece on me

LLM's do not have personalities. LLM's do not take personal offense. I'm begging you to stop being so credulous about "AI" headlines.

Aushinon The Singularity will occur on a Tuesday

Keep reading. It's good.

Aushinon The Singularity will occur on a Tuesday

Ashton Kutcher is 48 years old.

I care more about reining in the overweight GEDstapo agents murdering people in the street than people blowing whistles at them.

Aushinon Meta's legal team abandoned its ethical duties

Stop being a dork lest you lose your day-old account.

I'm cracking up at this comment

Aushinon How can England possibly be running out of water?

Only because of legislative sabotage in 2006 by right wing ideologues determined to prove that public services "can't work"

Aushinon Launch YC: Optifye.ai – AI performance monitoring for factory workers

Because that's not the impetus for creating it and they're not clever enough to hide it. They made it because they want to punish what they believe is the laziness of people beneath them.

Aushinon DOGE has 'god mode' access to government data

You're telling us to trust the word of people who were caught either lying or being staggeringly incompetent. It's irrational. You're letting your political sentiments cloud your judgement. You're having an emotionally-driven reaction.

Aushinon DOGE has 'god mode' access to government data

And NPR could only confirm 2 billion of those contracts were actually canceled. It's an endless fountain of bullshit.

Aushinon DOGE has 'god mode' access to government data

A few replies up, when presented with a clear example of the DOGE team having carte blanche access to sensitive government data, you handwaved it away. Don't accuse other people of being hyper-emotional when your own reasoning is so plainly motivated by political sentiment.

Aushinon Algorithms Designed to Fight Poverty Can Actually Make It Worse

Don't say "accessible"

Just say free. Say subsidized. Say something less meaningless than accessible. Technically in the USA healthcare is 'accessible' right now. Problem is after I access it I can't pay for it.

Aushinon A Simple Fix for Our Massive Inequality Problem

FWIW, my definition of slavery is that the value of your productivity is owned and controlled by someone else, not you.

I see, so you too consider capitalism a form of slavery.

Aushinon Pentagon Responds to FOIA with Ultimatum

My sarcasm readings are off the chart for this one.

Aushinon David Cameron Wins a Slim Majority in UK General Election

I think he's indicating that he might have as nuanced an understanding of what that may mean as someone from say, the UK or Scotland.

Aushinon Why Ken Jennings’s ‘Jeopardy’ Streak Is Nearly Impossible to Break

When you say that they're not independent, do you mean that the probability that the person knows the Final Jeopardy question is higher because they've managed to keep Ken Jennings from running away with it (i.e. they're better than the average person Jennings has faced)?

Just checking my understanding.

Aushinon McDonald's CEO promises better food

Same. 14. And Taco Bell. Even at a time in my life when I had no major life pressures, there wasn't much about the place to bring out the enthusiasm in me.

Aushinon McDonald's CEO promises better food

Honestly, I'd be apathetic too if I was working at McDonald's.

Aushinon PostgreSQL vs. MS SQL Server

Honestly I don't know where he got the idea, but as someone who worked for five years as a SQL Server database admin/developer, I for some reason also thought you could only do OUTPUT Inserted.field1, ... INTO @TableVar

But I just tested what you claimed here and it definitely works exactly the way the RETURNING clause would.

Weird.

Aushinon PostgreSQL vs. MS SQL Server

He says upfront that he's comparing PostgreSQL 9.3 and MS SQL Server 2014
