You don't know what you are talking about. Obviously refusal circuitry does not live in one layer, but the repo is built on a paper with sound foundations from an Anthropic scholar working with a DeepMind interpretability mentor: http

Why not leak a dataset of N full text paraphrasings of the material, together with a zero-knowledge proof of how to take one of the paraphrasings and specifically "adjust" it to the real document (revealed in private to trusted as

It’s slightly biased. ( P(even) = 0.5702; Bias = +0.0702 (about 7 percentage points toward heads) ). You can use this Claude Code prompt to determine how much: Use your web search tool call. Fetch a list of English words and find their inci

I am sorry for your loss, Aella. I sobbed with you. “Each passing minute is a greater percentage of the final minutes we have,” and yet “these [final] seconds are so soft”. Death needs to die, some future dying day, not yet. from everyone w

The Apple paper does not look at its own data — the model outputs become short past some thresholds because the models reflectively realize they do not have the context to respond in the steps as requested, and suggest a Python program inst

If I read a comment that has any probability of changing my mind about a fact or opinion, I always go to the user page to check their registration date. No hard cut-off date but I usually discount or ignore any account >= 2020.

No, it doesn’t. This concerns a corporation subject to legitimate national security concerns, not “a person, or a group of people.”

Very cool result but the title is overselling the "AI" contribution. It seems like they trained a few standard binary classifiers (Naive Bayes, decision trees, kNN). The novelty is the independent variable coming from an attribute

Not really. Only a tiny slice of the historical person’s memories and persona is recorded. There is a lot more entropy to their representation that died when their brain did. Ergo, whatever “perfect” simulacrum is presented will need to inf

By the pigeonhole principle, there is a sentence that writes out its entire SHA256 representation this way. Alternatively, the map from these kinds of sentences with 256 terms to 2^256 given by SHA256 admits a fixed point.

I am someone for whom the two universes are the same. I freely choose to act exactly in accordance with how I would act if I were steered by neurons and atoms, and neurons and atoms alone. And that is also the truth, so I am perfectly happy

The statement “free will does not exist” does not imply the world isn’t Minecraft. It is . Arbitrary actions allowed by physics are indeed allowed. The problem is unpacking that you can do what you want . It is the act and nature of wanti

Regret, like everything else, is an evolutionary corollary built out of destiny optimization that allows for counterfactual consideration of painful paths to avoid similar outcomes in the future. In the end, what physics decrees shall occur

Dude, spaceman_2020, you are young a.f. still. There are predicaments and Chinese finger traps much much worse still. Here is your quote of the day: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/6495956-for-what-it-s-worth...

Nothing. Free will doesn’t exist so I just accept what comes my way and naively trust the universe not to be too much of a d$&#. Hopefully that gets me to the finish line.

In theory I agree with you. Unfortunately this is a very, um, privileged way of viewing this aspect of the world. A lifetime of selection bias clouds, wherefrom this strategy works for you, but would not if tried by an other.
