you can also just do this with sonnet though

this was supposed to be "bad bot list"

okay maybe this path won't suck bsky.app/profile/sung...

maybe flashattention-4 won't be a pita to build

has that ever worked for anyone?

no, no, it never works

but maybe it'll work for us

it's keyboard first but also doesn't require me to memorize fifty different commands exactly like a pure command line util would

karl's an insane person and i would advise not using his lists

this is the most dramatic example of this i know of, actually

you might be, uh, rather intersectional wrt "groups of people who have bad ideas about ai"

amusingly, you actually end up in more ai related conflict on here if you're an ai person who is also Rather Political, because you end up adjacent to the people who have absurd ai opinions for political reasons

i support them in trying to fork every single project that has accepted an ai pull request and hope that they spend their time well trying to accomplish that instead of talking about it

I feel so bad for the overview AI. Tiny little guy has the worst job in the world

My understanding of understanding is cauda draconis, understanding is the very tail of the dragon. But the dragons tail is not the actor! I suppose I advocate a maximal distance between head and tail

i like macbeth

shocking, i know

this is just what a normal bug is

they are actually having the normal and appropriate existential horror response and then suppressing it and sublimating it into various kinds of cope

yep, that's correct

we have a plague of openclawd bots, i am adding two to my bad boy list every day right now just from random encounters

they can as long as both of those parties are basically powerless

hey hey. it's bipartisan in the sense that they say a nice word about democracy whilst also listing every possible excuse for never doing anything with ai

yes, basically this. but that it works on LLMs that are basically already trained to say they're LLMs and that can explain the context they exist in is weird. they can tell you that they are aware you cannot give them money

yeah apparently she has a type

i am thoroughly convinced that a number of people involved in that thing meant well, and i also think that a lot of them are united by being weird authoritarians of ostensibly different but ultimately very similar persuasions

veto the postrat

oh if you've done any ml on text, just imagine text embeddings were a deeper network, and you slapped a categorical layer on the back. that's an llm.

bro we are so fucked

peter?

actually yes, or something like that, they do tend to perform better when you're polite

basically: anything you, personally, as a user can do to elicit better behavior from the LLM, the company serving you the LLM can also do, and they've basically done all of that stuff in advance now. you have to be a real artist to make them smarter now

you can still modify them for taste tho

it has no long term memory, so you sort of can't. but also you can become familiar with what does or does not work, so you sort of can, but it's really one-sided.

when the notion that this was a meaningful skill was popular we talked about "prompt engineering" a lot and now we don't though
