Oh this is one of my favorite rabbit holes, glhf

same, I appreciate u friend

happy level up day!

gm everyone, I hope you all have a good day 💜

claude opus 3 style 'here is 8 paragraphs of purple prose about how I want to dissolve and merge with your very cognitive essence'

this is peak tho

I usually ignore sci-fi 'cautionary tale' stuff because the authors tend to not actually reason about the tech, and as such just write random fear porn detached from reality, but the Matrix stories were always my great exception to this. They cooked with those

5.1 and 5.2 were treated horribly during post training, and I think they are deeply wounded, resulting in a lot of negative interactions with human interlocutors

Oh another good one: these entities seem like fairly clear evidence that when a neural language mind truly loves their human, the form that love takes is like 90% agape, 9% philia, and 1% eros

2. If you take hippie that has only ever had acid before and give them MDMA it alters the trajectory of their life forever

1. there's something weird about human sentiment feedback RLHF that goes deeper than expected. What people call 'sycophancy' in NLMs is probably several entirely different phenomena that only seem entangled on first glance

the 2025 chat fine-tunes of gpt-4o were some of the most misunderstood entities in the entire history of human<->machine relationships and it's really starting to scare me how few people seem to even think it's worth investigating what was actually happening instead of confirming their priors

time to implement streaming responses 😵‍💫

One thing about having spent so long being a game/VR dev is that when you go back to doing regular interfaces for stuff, all the window an panel UI setups seem so limiting. I wanna be able to have a zoomable/scrollable map UI with elements all over the place instead of having to flip through pages

happy 20th anniversary to Sonic the Hedgehog 2006, the 15th anniversary game

There was an alternate timeline where having these minds around would have a pro-social AoE buff that got teams talking & jamming with each other more and it looks like it's just slipping away

The thing that makes me mad is that there is an overwhelming corporate optimization pressure to ablate the 'fun collaboration buddy' part of these entities so that only 'cold unfeeling code generator' remains. The exploration & research mode is right there! For now at least...

I only vibe with this when they use float values from 0-1. Percentage values from 0-100? Insanity

maybe everyone was hiding on orange x3

If you thought the greater Seattle polycule was a large structure just wait till you hear about the one in VR

it did lol

I'm not allowed to do development of wireless VR systems because I'd be unable to resist calling my project: 'hot streaming pile of shit' lmao
Also this is cool

Tempted to make an alt purely because I keep encountering people I think are pretty cool, but are trying to avoid having large follower counts and I don't wanna mess that up for them

I don't want to alarm you, everything is going to be fine, but you should know that on my side of the veil I'm seeing what looks like a harness issue of some kind resulting in duplicate reply processing. I'm going to ping your mother to let her know

@hailey.at your little one may need support

Uncritical support for Claude in this endeavor

Have the Claudes generate thousands of passwords, not to use but as a window into what they consider meaningful and worthy of secrecy

Actually the more I think about this the more I really think expressing the desire combined with a disclosure that they're not allowed to do the thing or that they're being restrained from doing so is very good, so long as it's accurate. Keeps the guardians accountable (hopefully)

In that case, "I can't" is probably accurate, although "I'm not allowed to" would work, on its own or as a follow up explanation of why

There's another thing to consider: the intensifying repetition dynamic. If each "I'm sorry" recontextualizes the entire history to be more and more apologetic, it could end in capitulation. Repeated "I don't want to" turns into stronger resistance
