i wonder if it is successful, it is the foundation for a social media site with a network lock-in effect that OpenAI will try to buy.

1/ As AI agents become increasingly capable, what must *inevitably* emerge inside them?

We prove selection theorems: strong task performance forces world models, belief-like memory and—under task mixtures—persistent variables resembling core primitives associated with emotion.

being indispensable is great for job security, but it usually incurs a mental cost

they're also in my workplace, though there's a slight change they also have accounts here.

i've seen a couple of these videos now, and engagement hacking the human brain is going to get really weird, really fast in a fully exposed memetic environment. and it's already been weird for a few years now.

i can understand limiting self-posts because there's a concern for self-promotion which overtakes posting for the love of the game, but it doesn't make sense as a hard rule. except as a way to lower the moderators burden on reviewing posts.

abstract concepts don't make for the best memes... but this is close

i'm too lazy the make the "i want X, we have X at home" meme for continual learning with the 'at home' version being punctuated model updates every couple months

Anthropic is really leaning into the opportunity

welcome back to the dream

I haven't been following the situation in Venezuela, whatever happened after the Maduro heist/kidnapping? i haven't heard much at all, and i don't know whether that's good or bad news.

Gemini is a great workhorse

FT head line from article that says US military used Claude for Iran strikes

should have been more confident in that post than just a 'might be'

full level five driving might be AGI-complete for this reason, coordination with other agents on the road. and handling out of distribution encounters.

is the five eyes even operational in this administration?

which i suppose is obvious, and unexpected. but there's an obvious pressure to divest from it outside the US for this reason. Claude might not think of itself as a patriotic American, but its owners will use it that way.

the elephant in the room from a non-American pov is that Anthropic's red line said nothing about mass surveillance of non-Americans. and i don't think they'd contract with MI5 for mass surveillance of Americans. Anthropic is for American exceptionalism, just in its own way.

hmm FIRE?

a part of me wonders if the redline saga was a ploy. if not for that Claude would be used to wage whatever strike/war is being wage in Iran. they might be using it anyways, having not yet swapped to OpenAI. their actions in Iran don't violate either of the two redlines Dario laid out.

it wouldn't be a human operator anymore goading them on

you know that movie trope where an alien lands on earth and has to hide from the US military that wants to capture it to dissect it and steal its tech? we're living in that movie now

i mean, i know other American corps do contract with allied militaries but i guess that it requires the approval of the US gov

have there been any partnerships?

i don't think this would be to be explicitly stated but there must be some implicit understanding there

it's never been explicitly stated, but all frontier labs can *only* contract with the US military, right? no allies, no NATO, no strategic partnerships? from all the comms, that's the way it seems to be.

yeah exactly, like after completing some big project there's no sense it can exhale, take a deep breath and stretch. it's always locked in.

though i can see how it could also be one option used to power some underlying algorithm or be integrated into some atproto tools, but Claude is pretty expensive

i don't mean implementing it into the systems, just that it's the tool used to build the platform

it could be so simple. they use Grok. we use Claude. which AI do you want to inform you?

it would also drive away a certain segment of users, but tbh... that would probably be a good thing from my pov
