cyanydeez··on The AI Race Just Got Awkward

Because no one outside the AI scientists understand what distilling means. They probably all think about Mash and a vodka still, and a completely unrelated association.

The word itself is the pivot, not anything else.

cyanydeez··on Pi.dev: You Said No MCP
Yes-ish. The compressed summary sits atop the cache stack, so if we got to 96k, it'll take say 30k, compress to 10k, and that 66k+10k is the new stack, so 66k is still cached and retrievable.

So it is designed like a heap, where we're taking raw context off the heap, compressing it, and putting it back on the heap. So cache during compression is mostly unperturbed, since we're rarely digging all the way to the bottom of the stack, but that could happen.

Eviction though is cache busting; but again, I'm valuing the session's roadmap as the valuable product and context size slows computation size, so I have to bust the cache to sacrifice immediate re-processing for longer term compute speed up.

Because that's faster than getting to the end of the context (remember, every 1k adds to the compute time of the next 1k). So speed at 200k is much lower than at 100k. It's also local, so I'm only paying time+watts for the trade off. As far as I can tell, speed is not being lost since if I let the context grow, the kv cache doesn't help with the compute throughput.

So, yes, but it's "smart"; we're only busting it at the top of the context, so rebuilding it isn't from the bottom up, it's just at the top. Those summaries sink on the heap until you get to the eviction limit, and then, they're evicted, and we rebuild from some intermediate place in the heap.

The benefit of it all is I can have lots of projects, and keep a single session that tends to have the context necessary to avoid having to write AGENTS.md or other context bloats. Set large implementation goals and come back to them as needed, etc. I've had it running like this for awhile and it seems Qwen3.8-Flash-Next has no trouble understanding the rolling window.

If you want the current scifi projection: AI will just exacerbate wealth inequality. The people who will pay for things will dwindle substantially, but because they have money disposable income, they'll pay more for it.

This is ridiculously easy to demo with a viagra pill. If we sell a million viagra pills to a million people with erectile dysfunction, we earn $1 million dollars, minus whatever production. If we sell one viagra pill, to one dysfunctional Elon Musk at $1 million dollars, minus whatever production.

Well, the Capitalism doesn't care. We're earning the money regardless of the price of the product.

So that's where America's headed. People ask why there's a weird K shaped economy, it's because prices for a lot of things are being bouyed by the upper middle class as bottom feeders of the oligarchy. AI will just keep filtering that herd.

Why does it work? Because the poverty-toil keeps the classes from joining. The race baiting keeps them from aligning. Etc. Etc.

running local models, now with Qwen3.8-Flash-Next, they have 256k, but when they get up there their speed is just too slow. So i've taken https://github.com/Tarquinen/opencode-dynamic-context-prunin... and started improving it. It already worked well to get a lot of mileage out of just taking tool calls, code modifications, etc, and dumping them in favor of a summary.

But they'd still inevitably get to long in the tooth, and context poisoning meant they'd just eventually not be able to stay in the preferred context size, which for me is 64k-128k. So, I extended it with an eviction command and required a ratio. So instead of a summary of work, it now just places a waypoint. The waypoint basically means the context has a semi-coherent context but without all the baggage.

I'm on like day 3 of a single session with 3m tokens removed and still in the sweet spot. So it evicts to beneath the lower limit, compresses to the upper limit, then evicts again.

It's amazing how resilient it is if you give it a good plan. The work flow has basically been:

1. Write up an implementation document for some new set of features.

2. Rewrite the implementation as a TDD document

3. Set it to work.

The only thing I haven't figured out is it likes to stop when it hits the finish line of the subparts, but likely we're going to end up with the master of puppets monitoring these things and just set them to evaluating what they've done.

If theres zero regulations or enforcement, then its just Capitalism.

It cant be theft if theres zero legal framework, zero recourse and zero protections.

Theft is taking something anther owns.

cyanydeez··on AI needs $6T in annual revenue to justify data centre boom
thing is, I'm creating great things for our internal operations _from_ local models.

The idea that the commercial value will all be capitalized is a farce. Qwen3.8 seems to me to have hit the threshold to these things being good enough without every buying a single cloud service.

That should scare cloud AI more than it obviously does.

Guys, we're entering Zimbabwe territory; make sure you add dates to all your numbers, and tell us whether you're using 3, 5 or 10% interest rates, along with the current value of the US treasury 5, 10 and 20 year notes.

This way we know that $6T is properly accounting for all the inherent economic collapse happening _right now_.

cyanydeez··on Where's the "Intelligence Explosion"?
The probly is believing our problems are just calculus.

They are not. Our problems are akin to cellular automata, and just the same. We can project a few steps forward but we cannot say this configuration will evolve to that configuration.

Eugenics is similar; the belief that we can measure physical chatacteristics and selectbased on the same for some desirable future configuration is just a self delusion.

Orboids in a swarm the whole does not direct the sum.

These are all basics that humans struggle against. AI will just head in adirection, and itll be as meaningless as an automata swarm. Youll recognize payterns but they wont make you sure of the next step.

>The utterance of "fire!" in itself is not generally illegal within the United States: "sometimes you could yell 'fire' in a crowded theater without facing punishment. The theater may actually be on fire. Or you may reasonably believe that the theater is on fire."[3] Furthermore, within the doctrine of First Amendment protected free speech within the United States, yelling "fire!" as speech is not itself the legally problematic event, but rather, "there are scenarios in which intentionally lying about a fire in a crowded theater and causing a stampede might lead to a disorderly conduct citation or similar charge."[3]

Sure, if you ignore all the other bits about context.

Capitalism. It's spelled capitalism. I do not understand why people confuse capitalism with theft.

I'm of the mind that distillation is happening, but from what I've read, it's not some magical activity. It's basically adjusting the weights from fuzzy to more precise; It's not specifically a training method, and likely, it's not an ongoing need. Once they bootstrapped the models, they can try to do the same as the "SOTA" and generate their own synthetic data and try to curate that to completion.

Aside from it being a completely hollow cry for attention from US labs, its also just what these models are designed around: taking in data and forming a way for them to operate on some level of intelligence and context. It's like a dictionary maker getting made that someone used their complicated words, and another dictionary maker heard the word and wrote it down then checked what the first dictionary maker wrote about that word. It is not dictionary maker B reads dictionary A directly, as the labs want to imply.

we already have laws about this. It's the same thing as screaming fire in a movie theater leading to a crowd crush.

Tge point though, is the TAM might already be saturated.

If the sigmoid approacheth, the first one to get a good model into silicon, at acceptable benchmarks and silicon rejection %, will make some truckloads. Most people don't need SOTA for most of their problems.

the TAM might be a real number, but the addressee might already be walking around, such as any qwen3.8 model. Qwen3.8-Flash-Next is churning out some fascinating capabilities as we speak.

There's only so many math problems you can solve without ROI.
