llms should have native audio output so they can rap battle and we can determine the best lab that way

the tldr is that llms show sufficiently evidence of consciousness that it depends which definition of the word you use, even, which is probably a major source of the drama

like we basically mean "human-like" and they're clearly human-like in some ways but not others

i am basically filing that under "daddy musk is gonna take us all to mars with grok" but i should maybe have chosen a broader framing

fuck me do i need to start showing up for AI events

i don't think i want to hang out with rationalists in my free time

yeah unfortunately yud and daniel, pictured here, might be literally the only professional opinion-havers who have an opinion about ai that is neither 1) it doesn't and never will work, and is racist as a basic idea, nor 2) daddy musk is gonna take us all to mars with grok

i hated ai 2027 but am convinced most of what i hated about it was scott actually. daniel's conduct has been completely aboveboard imho, even if i disagree with him and think he's sort of industry-brained

i don't want to have to argue with or about yud, it's disgraceful

daniel kokotajlo seems fine. i disagree with him about a bunch of stuff but he's, like, a sane person

this makes two times i have seen yud in film preaching doom to the masses recently and i am concerned this will become a pattern and we will end up seeing him on cnn a lot or something

bluesky hates this because it takes ai too seriously

i hate this because if you take your cues from yud you will end up ineffectually telling people not to do things they are definitely going to do

which maybe means it's a good fit for leftists, but

for the ball to hit me, it would have to come half the way to me. and then it would have to come half of the way remaining, and so on, infinitely. therefore "the ball is going to hit me" is impossible

04.03.2026 22:42 — 👍 57    🔁 3    💬 3    📌 0

brother i can see the ball. the ball is exactly half way between you and me. you're telling me it's going to hit me? you must be lying. do i look like i've been hit by a ball?

04.03.2026 22:41 — 👍 57    🔁 3    💬 3    📌 0

we have reached levels of inability to infer the ball's trajectory never before thought possible

to put it another way: you might want to figure out what you want to tell him to do, because there's a chance he will do it

i just don't wanna have to spend a lot of time going "no, it's on the REMOTE, we need to run this on the REMOTE"
