That feels like the newspaper article you find in a dystopian video game in an abandoned apartment that helps you piece together the backstory of how the robo-insect apocalypse began…

There's a lot of talk about AI and consciousness these days. While I really enjoy that this is a debate people are willing to have in good faith now, I also notice that few of the voices seem to be familiar with the vast philosophical

The conversation on AI and consciousness is incredibly relevant. It is incredibly frustrating that most commentators are utterly unfamiliar with over 60 years of inquiry into this in both philosophy and computer science. Start with a hand-w

Tangentially related: one of my all-time favourite neuroscience papers by Iriki et al. [1] showed that the mouse pointer becomes part of the body schema in a real, measurable way. Basically there are neurons whose receptive field (ie the su

To be clear I’m not claiming that Mythos is _nothing_ but PR hype, merely that Anthropic is playing its cards really well, which is a claim independent of actual capabilities of their latest model.

Ha. Non-native speaker here although you wouldn’t be able to tell what talking to me, until you hear me confuse when to use this vs that, and lose vs loose. Some things my brain just refuses to remember.

The whole artificial scarcity Anthropic created around Mythos / Glasswing is quite brilliant to be honest (I’m Not saying ethical, just brilliant). The commercial gains are one side of course. But consider this: Gets labelled supply ch

We have asked ourselves that question repeatedly over the past year. While I don’t have a simple solution, I have some mental models that may help. Overall, there are two knobs to tune, each with a few strategies: 1. reducing the number of

I love the vision, but it glosses over the most important difference between Infrastructure and Companies. Infrastructure as code is prescriptive. The code is the source of truth, and the world gets crested from it. Company as code is descr

They're all great, but the 2012 "The Uncensored Picture of Dorian Gray" is the closest to the original script before the editor cut out things that he deemed... checks notes... "too gay". It restores parts that were

I inherited my great-grandmas recipe book that calls for "50 pence [pfennig] worth of almonds". I spent a whole afternoon researching how much almonds you could by in 1952 post-war west germany for 50 pfennig.

It might be worth noting that humans also struggle with keeping up a coherent world model over time. Luckily, we don’t have to; we externalize a lot of our representations. When shopping together with a friend we might put our stuff on one

Thanks for the shoutout! I think it's funny that it's very similar to ensō in many ways, but also the complete opposite: ensō is calm, mindful, soothing. MDWa is hectic, terrifying, sadistic. Funny how a tiny difference produces p

Good observation! Lower co2 concentration isn't caused by simply inhaling more oxygen, but rather by blowing off too much co2. Co2 is produced by the body, and the rate at which it is produced doesn't change much if you breathe pu

The tingles and muscle cramps (tetany) are a normal byproduct (basically your neurons on your smallest muscles and under your skin get more excitable due to a molecular rube goldber machine set off by lower CO2 balance in your blood). It&#x
