@Mastodon Will accounts from servers that aren't on 4.6 be able to be included in Collections?

If not, I'd be concerned that if this takes off it's going to have the effect of concentrating connections and attention on accounts on bleeding-edge servers.

Remember: there is still something in the Epstein Files that is so bad that the man who has gotten away with *everything* is afraid of it becoming public.

@Heliograph Having had Python classes that dealt with algorithms and currently suffering through a precalculus course that includes logarithms, I feel the exact opposite, but your view is totally valid.

In the context of the term in the novel, though, it's pretty clearly an error (it's a discussion about a digital search algorithm).

When someone says, “It’s possible that this LLM is already conscious,” treat them as if they had said “It’s possible that this giant table of numbers is already conscious.”

Them: NASA today launched the first crewed lunar mission in 50 years.

Me: Every mission I'm on is a crude mission.

Observation by @jonny of some of the insanity in Claude's source code:

"Apparently it is difficult to make this actually happen though, as the parent LLM likes to launch the forked agent and just hallucinate a response as if the forked agent had already completed."

This is a perfect refutation of both the argument that they are somehow doing more than predicting the most plausible next word AND of the argument that it doesn't matter if that's all they are doing.

“There’s no way to put the genie back into the bottle,” insist AI boosters about a product that the industry is spending more than a trillion dollars a year to keep out of the bottle.

They're multiplying like rabbits! (Rabbits are famously good at their times tables.)

It's considered bad luck to say "Mac Pro" inside of an Apple Store. By tradition, they refer to it as "the Scottish product."

Kicked out of my gaming table because I wouldn't stop shortening it to "Dung & Drag."

My one-time verification code is 68408. They said not to share it with anyone, but you all seem pretty cool.
