Often we don't acknowledge the horror of Israel's multi-decade siege on Gaza¹ and occupation of Palestinians when talking about this conflict.

There, I fixed it for you.

[1] As early as 1967, U.S. Senator Albert Gore Sr. called Gaza “a vast concentration camp on the sand”.

Thanks, edited.

Here is an article by the author that expands on the ideas presented in the slides:

Claude is down, but their status page doesn't mention it yet: "All Systems Operational" – https://status.claude.com.

From the article:

The physicist Eugene Wigner, who knew both John von Neumann and Albert Einstein, wrote that no one he had encountered possessed a mind as “quick and acute” as von Neumann’s. Von Neumann could absorb vast amounts of information, follow extraordinarily complicated arguments and move between mathematical fields with astonishing speed. Yet Wigner still regarded Einstein’s understanding as deeper, more penetrating and more original. Von Neumann may have had the greater raw intellectual processing capacity, but Einstein was more likely to reconceptualize the problem itself.

Present-day AI appears more like a machine-amplified version of the first set of abilities than the second.

Damn, I've been telling the same thing to Claude, good to know I'm not alone. I've also noticed that Opus 5 is much worse in this regard than Fable.

It's as if the model is speaking Mentalese, or in some "bag of concepts" language.

I think this has been posted in response to this news story [1] to clarify that GrapheneOS has strong protection against data being extracted even without a duress PIN/password.

On a related note, a recent article [2] also describes how GrapheneOS helped a journalist protect his work and his confidential sources citing the 18-hour auto-reboot feature that returns the device to Before First Unlock (BFU) mode, where keys cannot be extracted.

I had a long session about SQL with Fable and at some point, it started to falsely trigger censorship for any message I write in that conversation, even for the simple string: "random message."

This. Why do so many companies fail to get this? Anthropic's user base, in particular, is intelligent enough to understand their constraints.

Off topic, but I really like the writing style on your blog. Do you have any advice for improving my own? In an older comment[1], you mentioned the craft of sharpening an idea to a very fine, meaningful, well-written point. Are there any books, or resources you’d recommend for honing that craft? Thanks in advance.
