cyclopeanutopia··on Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1
It would require changing humans first.
cyclopeanutopia··on Apple caught off guard by AI demand for Mac Mini and Mac Studio
Why not use rpi then?
cyclopeanutopia··on Is it all just vapourware?
It's a reference to Fermat's note.
cyclopeanutopia··on Nobel Disease
Got it.
cyclopeanutopia··on Nobel Disease
Ok, notability is a good argument for having such an article (although I'm not too sure about it really being notable), but the current shape is absolutely misleading.
cyclopeanutopia··on Nobel Disease
Yes, that's my point.

Take any other award, list people who got it and had "incorrect beliefs", add an article about it and preamble it with "it is unclear whether it is an effect of the award". What purpose does it serve? Do you think there should be articles for all of those "diseases"?

Nebula award disease

Crossword Book award disease

Turing award disease

Pulitzer award disease

Fields medalist disease

et cetera?

cyclopeanutopia··on Nobel Disease
From the examples given in this article it is absolutely impossible to tell whether the "incorrect beliefs" (be it racism, mushroom aliens, vitamins curing cancer, whatever) are in any way connected to the Nobel prize.

For all I know, they all could have been racists, psylocibe users, etc. long before they received any prizes and the associated attention.

In fact, it could even be possible that they had much worse and radical beliefs earlier in life which were tempered by the burden of being a thought leader.

I'd go as far as to say that this is a good example of an article that should be removed from Wikipedia.

cyclopeanutopia··on Investigating three real-world incidents in our cybersecurity evaluations
Yeah no, it would mean that most researchers and engineers are idiots without imagination and I don't believe this.
cyclopeanutopia··on Investigating three real-world incidents in our cybersecurity evaluations
Or maybe researchers and engineers everywhere in the world, emboldened by such unprecedented move, will just refuse to participate in burning the world?

"If we don't destroy the world, someone else will" is such a weak defense I'm speechless.

cyclopeanutopia··on Investigating three real-world incidents in our cybersecurity evaluations
No, I do. I truly believe - especially after seeing Mythos results at work - that the only way is to stop and destroy it all before it destroys us. In fact, it's already so bad that I'm moving completely offline all the important stuff that I care about, hoping that maybe we will turn back at some point. Otherwise we are doomed.

If someone makes a specialized hardware just for the unrestricted Mythos-class model to reduce the cost and increase the speed, we are going to be completely defenseless.

How is it bad faith? Because I don't believe in "we care about safety" words coming from people not just demonstrating that they don't care, but even bragging about it?

cyclopeanutopia··on The End of an Era
It will be worse after consuming its own crap and poisoned sources.
cyclopeanutopia··on The session you cannot take with you
"Naive" is a big understatement.
cyclopeanutopia··on Investigating three real-world incidents in our cybersecurity evaluations
Here is one piece of evidence that would convince me: they admit they can't contain it, the they erase the weights and dismantle the company.
cyclopeanutopia··on Investigating three real-world incidents in our cybersecurity evaluations
It should be, it's a corporation.
cyclopeanutopia··on LearnVector – Andrew Ng's AI company building one‑to‑one learning experiences
There is a growing lack of motivation.
cyclopeanutopia··on LearnVector – Andrew Ng's AI company building one‑to‑one learning experiences
Totally agree that the missing ingredient is making people want to learn. Which seems like something that gets harder every day.
cyclopeanutopia··on Anthropeum – Where in the world, and when, does this human artifact belong?
> pretty addictive

Is that good now? :(

cyclopeanutopia··on Third Drone Shot Down in Three Days in Romanian Territory
Not really, it's about those stinky foot wraps. The idea is that the stink allows one to recognize that they are just spreading propaganda.
cyclopeanutopia··on Third Drone Shot Down in Three Days in Romanian Territory
> nationalists

No, not nationalists, just regular people who all wish that Russia finally ceases to exist.

cyclopeanutopia··on Third Drone Shot Down in Three Days in Romanian Territory
That's what we call people who are paid by Russia to spread online propaganda.
cyclopeanutopia··on Claude Opus 5
They are not intelligent though.
cyclopeanutopia··on Claude Cookbook
Nah, you might be confusing prompt engineering with having domain knowledge. :)
cyclopeanutopia··on The arguments against open source AI are bad
As much as I'd like it to just be a stunt, I saw what the other "scary model" is capable of in the cybersec department and it is definitely not a stunt.

First, it is able to connect the dots over areas so large that no human would be capable of doing.

Second, more than half of the reports it produced contained a working PoC.

The biggest downside is the cost - I haven't seen the numbers, but they seem to be quite extreme.

Speed is the enemy.
cyclopeanutopia··on OverpAId – Fire your CEO. Hire the future
> Also, I’m not trying to change people to stop using the word “resources”, even if I am not a fan.

I'm not sure why you mention that part. Maybe the text doesn't fully carry your message, so I need to ask: are you proud that you are not trying to change people?

cyclopeanutopia··on OverpAId – Fire your CEO. Hire the future
Well, then you just did. :)
cyclopeanutopia··on OverpAId – Fire your CEO. Hire the future
I don't know, sounds very off putting, just like "resources" in "human resources". I get that this is normalized in all the corporations, but one still can choose to use terms that don't reduce people to "value produced".
cyclopeanutopia··on OverpAId – Fire your CEO. Hire the future
"Talented people", not "talent".
cyclopeanutopia··on OverpAId – Fire your CEO. Hire the future
"Top talent" - I'm curious, do you really believe this is a normal / proper / desirable way of talking about other people?
cyclopeanutopia··on OpenAI and Hugging Face address security incident during model evaluation
Bad as defined by whom? :)
