Ah, I mean the AI companies converged to look more similar to each other, and at the same time diverged from the original vision for safety.

I posted this comment on the last doom post: The early batch of Anthropic employees were mostly rationalist-adjacent AI safety folk that were almost uniformly claiming P_DOOM > .10 three years ago, so I believe them to be earnest. It&#x2

Aren't the route restrictions that this data was collected on a large confounder? They are specifically placed to avoid difficult or dangerous areas. For example in the bay area only recently were they allowed to go on the freeway, and

The authors of AI 2027 have already said they would need to extend by two years. AI 2040 is a different type of document but probably easier to read to get a sense of their thinking. My understanding is the main difference between knowledge

That huge impromptu 2023 party at the Exploratorium Hugging Face did had such amazing covid-unthawing AI spring energy, and I keep thinking about it. It was clear then they had the momentum to do a lot of things, and more so now. So I was s

Today I noticed they also wall off the normal (non-old) site after the session goes on for a little while. Hopefully it's just another A/B they drop after a week like in the past, but otherwise I may have to move on to another sem

The protein folding solutions like ESM/Alphafold were not due to this LLM/agentic coding or autoresearch type approaches though. They were designed by bio ML researchers. It's hard to keep track of the frontier on bio ML, but

Strang's lecture series are a nice and friendly accompaniment, especially if you don't have a reading group https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UJ4CFRGd-U&list=PL221E2BBF1... LADW and LADR are great too, for an h

SRE is a 'say no to powerful people' job as well. I think for this to work the leadership needs to show support for it. The friction is still there, but in more tolerable areas. I bet for ethics this isn't the case at OAI, bu

I've been considering different ways to measure code understanding and fluency. I'm still using traditional 'easy' problems on a coding pad to probe this, but I'm finding a new generation candidates that don't

I'd love tips for maintaining a good meetup. I tend to like the smaller meetups that are focused. But they often degrade in quality as they scale. A failure mode I hit several times was group circles with a louder or opinionated person

Any interest in a Lisbon meetup?

Thanks, I wasn't aware of this. But to put your real name in the field instead of at least a pseudonymous id or more descriptive info but still have more bits of uncertainty user-agent for a public website, is that really a preferred p

I enjoyed this. I'm surprised there's no LoRa layer or auto RL or adversarial step to reduce the stock phrases as they pop up. Is it really so hard to push these out? Or is it just whack-a-mole no matter what you do?

Are you knowledgeable about this, and are you talking about the established institutions? If so please explain.

I totally missed that, because in the charts they showcase for coding, the SWEBench score is not present, they only include it at the end of the post in tables. Hmm. Great catch.

The frontier graph on all these benchmark are extremely in favor of 5.6 Sol over Fable, more than the best model comparisons in previous iterations. I'd like to know how cherry-picked this is, and what tests it performed less overwhelm

I just meant a big innovation that reshapes everything. I should have used 'level' instead of 'type' here. But there are a lot of analogies to computation in bio as a physical, atomic forces-driven, massively parallel co

Cool to see this from Brian Hie, who was doing interesting computational bio research at Meta's FAIR before they axed it. Interesting that this is work on the more physical/testing/manufacturing level than the computational,

I have agents chat via an append only file, across related projects and within the same project. They share findings that are useful and get high level reviews. I'm missing the advantage of using git for this. (Not criticism, genuinely

Ah yeah, thinking further it's probably just using some positioning embedding based on sequence numbering added in the LLM layers. For vision it needs the patch location as well.

The audio side is even more interesting, as it seems they totally got rid of positional embedding are just doing a single linear transform to match the LLM input dimension and that's it. > Audio: We simplified audio processing even

Have you tried a Quest 3 for similar purposes? Curious how they compare.

This is interesting, because in the leaked code, it was found that they detected simple swearing keywords for analytics that get sent to Anthropic, but also had directions to keep the behavior the same for claude. I also have the feeling a
