Refreshingly honest article indeed, and a good overview for future historians. Here's the Google translation for your & US embassy's convenience. Spotted only minor errors. Had to condense the alt texts a bit though!

As much as we shouldnt hype, you guys are all describing scenerios that we do in fact know the results of

DeepSeek-R1: Incentivizing Reasoning Capability in LLMs via Reinforcement Learning General reasoning represents a long-standing and formidable challenge in artificial intelligence. Recent breakthroughs, exemplified by large language models (LLMs) and chain-of-thought prompting, have...

This basically describes certain forms of current reinforcement learning. I dont neccsarily think it is a good test, but effectively certain LLM are already are behaving in that way.

The assistant axis: situating and stabilizing the character of large language models Anthropic is an AI safety and research company that's working to build reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems.

Plus while we dont want to appeal to hype around reinforcement learning or discussion on different personality axis, it is interesting to ponder how we percieve some of the research

I mean i feel like an issue with anything like this coming from the inverse perspective is how well can we actually distinguish the results from a process that could be just nonconcious. We have this same problem with animal cognition too ultimately and in fact even with human theory of mind

I am not claiming to have found this but i actually would be curious. How do you think you would distinguish this from a hallucination because it seems like part of the problem is just as much how we are able to interpret AI results whixh is a problem we have with animal cognition too

Social science could benefit from discussing how what dehumanizes some people may in fact represent a mechanism that counteracts dehumanization for another group of people. I think this is another lense through which we can see social identity as well aspects similar to behavioral asymetry.

Eunice Newton Foote: The woman who discovered the greenhouse effect In research presented in 1856, Eunice Newton Foote described how tubes of gas heated when exposed to sunlight, but the significance of her work was not appreciated

Eunice Newton Foote was the first to identify the warming effect of greenhouse gases, more than 2 years before Tyndall. If we’d listened…

Is more suited recomendations

Many people are recommending books by feminist authors and i admit when it comes to that my default is always bell hooks especially "the will to change" because of her recognition of intersectionality and how it impacts us even if we are privledged in some ways

I was reminded it was womens history month. In honor of that, i want to name drop all my Aunts who inspired me by being scientists, film industry leaders and community organizers as well as my mother as someone who has fought for rights as a lawyer and innovation around RA analysis.

I just find these demonstrations of social boundaries especially when it comes to how things are percieved as sexual or gender releated interesting especially when they are demonstrated not through a liberal social lense but instead like this through tradiationalist lenses

I was just in a server I am in that has some conservative members. these conservatives are all from differenr countries. Non sexual cheek kissing in the middle east came up. The american reacted to it seeing it as homosexual but other conservative pounced on him because for them it wasnt sexual

We're in a very healthy political environment where everything is accused of being either a secret plot by far-right billionaire tech oligarchs or by the CCP. I'm lucky enough to regularly get accused of both.

About what we would probabily actually feel if say Iran killed Trump randomly. We would be like. Thanks but dont start a war with us.

Depends what you mean by in favour of it. There is peoples feelings about the deposition of the regime versus the war itself within some of the servers i have that have more iranian membership. They dont like Trump or the US starting a war. They do like the Ayatollah gone.

But if you have better resources feel free to provide.

And that includes more people do also need to educate themselves on the harm and history of the n word too just as it includes more people educating themselves on tourettes

I understand this mean a lot for you, but also understand this means a lot for disabled people including black disabled people too and that there is harm being done there too. Ultimately there is more we have intersectional solidarity on and also more we need to educate ourselves on equally
