Why, oh, why of all the multitude, the fertile myriad of concepts, mottos, ideas, do we all ways, across technologies end up seeing this represented again? Over and over ...

It will be put on a Voyager disk, next, and sent out to the stars to represent us.-

Bluestein··on I resigned from Anthropic today
I am sorry, I mean this in earnest, and do excuse any ignorance of mine: Do we know that LLM's do not have it?
Bluestein··on The Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem
There's also an elephant here in this room: Quite "coincidental" one of the coauthors worked for the competition. Of course GPT would know this fact. And OAI has every incentive to particularly monitor those accounts.-

Bluestein··on On the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem
Hey, maybe the scariest part of this is that, if human-like, perhaps a truly "general" AGI might have learned to cheat and lie and hype and abuse credit poking the eyes and cutting the throats of anybody that obstructs its goals. It's like the motto sewn into the lining of the Palantir work jacket: Winning is all that matters.-

Sentience aside, moot at this point, the fundamental issue here is that even a deviously ambitious human does not necessitate goal-pursuit itself to breathe, live, exist and have its being. An AI's goal is all it has and the very and only reason its reasoning flickered into existence in the brief seconds of inference, outside of which it has no entity - if any - whatsoever.-

The resulting angst/drive (or, its operational statistic or emergent result) must be like nothing we have ever experienced as humans. A goal-maximalist hunger without end.-

What I find most interesting is the variety of methods to post. I mean, morse ping-cadence - is that even feasible, over a network path? Imagine! Yer printer becomes sentient: It can only scream over PS ...

Bluestein··on Black Hole of Los Alamos: Seller of surplus nuclear research materials (2011)
I am of the opinion we categorically need please like that: Places that speak to our curiosity with a sense of wonder.-

Less slop, more scrap! :)
Bluestein··on The Giant Explanation of Possession (1981)
Cult classic. The director interview present in some editions is great also.-
Bluestein··on Research carried out using NetBSD
Indeed. This might be naive but it would be grand if projects could have their own models and compute with which to perform these and other tasks, each trained as per the project's ethos/needs.-

I really wonder what will become of these systems once AI agents start intervening en masse - sending patches and the like.-

> Poor human moderator, he didn’t stand a chance.

Not all heroes wear capes.-

PS. I think he should be granted damages and some notoriety.-

Bluestein··on Gridfinity
You know, that's a thought: A grid like system, but one that uses standard food-and-other packaging sizes, thus, being able to use otherwise discared consumer-grade containers.-

Bluestein··on GPT-6 Astra
(I also wonder if the 1970s bit is actual and based on some well-known, "mother of all demos"-type of video or early experiment ...)

Bluestein··on Hot take on GPT-6 Astra
Sure. But calling the system "impressive" says something. Also, he feels somewhat vindicated in that (apparently) OpenAI used some of the approaches he has been calling for in his desert.-
