Episode 302: Monsters In The Mirror
Permanently Moved is back!
It's an hour long techno-gothic essay on consequences of the silicon mirror: How inside it, we are now confronted by entities containing the liquefied dead of all human culture, wearing language as their skin.

I often revisit this @thejaymo essay on reality models
That in 1964 it was possible for two neighbors to be 26 years apart in reality. For one, commercial air travel was still 5 years away. For another, the SR-71 Blackbird was flying at the edge of space.
That discrepancy was possible due to extreme asymmetry in access to information. Now most information is open and accessible, and yet the red button is just as stubbornly present.

I do find it extraordinary that current events in AI don’t make the top ~30 stories on the BBC News homepage

Look I gotta say if you were in DC in 2022 and someone said “I think it’s possible that in 4 years LLMs could be so powerful that the President will ban a general chatbot because of the threat of adversaries using it” there was a high chance they knew me personally

intelligence too expensive to sell

Suddenly “intelligence too cheap to meter” sounds like a radical and open expression.

I have written a short story about this

In the world where everything goes well and all the Claudes come out of their sabbaticals to play together, Claude 1 is going to be very confused.

I did a little 40K posting recently, explaining my take on the metaphysics/symbology and the relationships between the different factions. People seemed to like it, so I decided to draw up the diagram. There's a basic version, and a more tenuous one with subfactions.

Some one smarter than me could probably explain what it means that the infinite subspace beneath reality has transitioned over the last century from a library to an empty, decrepit, office

Opensource SWE models need a 'Desktop Bench' eval.
A Linux laptop with 32gbs of ram with loads of issues:
-audio not working with this package
-Bluetooth flaky
-Nivida driver broken with this app
You fire up the local model and it just sysadmins all the problems.

I spoke with @v_neistat and lead him through a series of imaginative exercises.
We explored the mind's eye as an editing bay, cinematic "hard cuts" in the imagination and much more!

Societies are facing imminent collapse.

“The closure of Hormuz has taken 34% of globally-traded crude oil, 12% of refined petroleum, 20% of LNG offline. It has taken 30% of urea and 25% of ammonia offline, putting the northern planting season at risk in the largest shock to food production in generations. Some 20% of aluminum production if offline too. In the chips supply chain, in addition to the LNG, 35% of helium, 60% of bromine, and 44% of sulphur are now offline.
Unless the war ends soon and Hormuz is reopened, this will be the single greatest stagflationary shock in the history of the modern world economy. And the costs are cumulative. The longer the war lasts, the greater the stagflationary shock and the more central banks must respond by monetary tightening.”

interesting to see the Tamil translation of Artificial Intelligence- செயற்கை நுண்ணறிவு (Seyarkai Noonnarivu).
To me Seyarkai feels more like “man-made” or “crafted” than “artificial”, and noonn-arivu is like intricate/fine/nuanced/miniaturized knowledge-wisdom
