Albatrosses mate for life but there's a lot of love bombing and other problematic stuff like that in their relationships so we shouldn't celebrate it

nice thing about our marriage is we have this tacit understanding that when one of us has to temporarily totally cover childcare, the other will relieve them as soon as possible when they inevitably collapse at the end of the shift

there's a sex therapist who has a ritual of making out with her husband every night before bed, and so many of the comments on her posts are some version of "but what if he gets turned on and I don't want to have sex" and i need men to understand and prioritize non sexual touch.

it would be very funny if the american tech job market were saved by broad export controls on advanced models that forced companies to choose between (1) hiring only us citizens or (2) not using ai tools
What did you think "Overhauling H1B" meant? Vibes? Essays ? Papers? Losers.

Some members of Anthropicβs board and senior leadership cannot be in the same room as a Mythos deployment right now or even talk to their colleagues about it. I don't think this was the result that safetyists wanted.

"consciousness" is badly defined and understood. my guess is that as we experience it, it has the following features roughly stated
1. existence via emergence, ultimately from a physical substrate but through intermediate levels
2. multiple components (sensory inputs, awareness of cognition, memory maybe others)
3. a mode of processing or coordinating the components
restating, what we experience as consciousness is an emergence from a series of components interacting with one another within a specific class of system.
when we describe a hypothetical generative model as "conscious," we (probably) should imagine a very different sort of from our own. what emerges from the code running in a data center might conceivably have components and coordinating processes analogous to ours in some ways, but their specific shape and texture need not be assumed to produce an experience recognizably like our own.

my 5yo enjoys strewwelpeter, so now whenever she does something we want her to stop i have a chatbot generate a poem about a terrible thing happening to a girl with the same name and the same vice
tonight it was about "not thinking before acting" and "being eaten by a lion"

The hilarious addendum to this is that Idi Amin was in London for the same conference, saw one of the stands, took a paper without paying, and waited to see if anyone would do anything. They didnβt.
He said he learned everything he knew about negotiating with London that day.

Lee Kuan Yew, the first prime minister of Singapore, famously commented on a London newspaper stand as a sign of the highly-civilised society of Great Britain in the 1940s.
His words came to mind when I saw the state of this newspaper stand in a London tube station this afternoon.
Itβs remarkable how far weβve fallen in such a short amount of time.
His words:
βPerhaps the most impressive sight I came upon was when I emerged from the tube station at Piccadilly Circus. I found a little table with a pile of newspapers and a box of coins and notes with nobody in attendance. You take your newspaper, toss in your coin or put in your 10-shilling note and take your change. I took a deep breath - this was a truly civilised people.β

if your notion of consciousness is tied especially to text-based output what do you think this means. is your notion of "consciousness" really just limited to your own verbal phenomenology or are words actually special

imagine a room where you can slip notes under the door with questions asking if AI is conscious, and then someone inside the room slips back notes saying "no lmao"
