@Jiankui_He holy crap he’s back

often times when going on Instagram the ads are more immediately high utility than the reels. it’s pretty incredible when you can monetize the user in a way that actually adds value to their life

advertising is a far more “aligned”business model than many others. it has been vilified for years for no good reason user-minutes-maxxing addiction slop would exist with or without it. Netflix ceo (with subscription pricing only) on record saying “we’re competing with sleep” https://x.com/mcuban/status/1949204939508686929

this opinion is basically a relic of the late 2010s consensus that Facebook is an evil company (which it might be, idk) but that has more to do with them than advertising generally

@dpinsen the more you use it the more likely you are to stay subscribed. hourly active users are predictive of daily active users which are predictive of monthly subscribers. this is the same across ~every digital service I’ve seen

@sailaunderscore why’s it false. explain the netflix case

people misattribute this incentive problem to ads when it’s native to ~all web scale products https://x.com/tszzl/status/1949260286772527465

@mayfer journalism was a great business because newspapers had a monopoly on adspace. with ad space becoming abundant and highly efficient/targeted, journalism has lost most of its profit juice

had a dream where I was at a party, and every time a song I like comes on the dj immediately hits skip. wat means

@sailaunderscore netflix also has autoplay plenty of regretted minutes are spent on netflix i spend many more hours per week on nerflix/equivalent than reels

@apples_jimmy what is the prompt here?

@mauddweeb this is chat

@gonglei89 dumb

@gonglei89 fair tbh

@atroyn I would opt in on instagram ads

@atroyn seriously i buy all my clothes and furniture from ig ads. its incredible

@0interestrates lfg

i have no idea if openai will ever lean into ads - don’t have any special knowledge or insight into that. just staking my position that I don’t think ads are wrong, as I have many times before in some sense the moment you start surfacing e-commerce results you are doing a mild kind of unpaid ad space already

@woke8yearold it’s mostly right on immigration modulo ideological ability to prosecute crimes and the gameability of the welfare state

@pli_cachete sorry wdym realm of human capability? like within the grasp of current models?

@pli_cachete oh I see wow that’s a hefty formalization, can you train a model to do that? how much conceptually harder is it to formalize difficult problems (leaving aside riemann or other crazy stuff) than say run the IMO circuit

@Sauers_ don’t stress this one

@Opno579942 yeah there are people whose brains would have broken in every age. normally they’re traumatized for the normal reasons: grief, breakup, family issues it’s never because they learned something about the universe they couldn’t unlearn

im not sure why people are super mad at this, it seems pretty neutral given the authors certainly don’t like doge and luke himself comes across very likeable. definitely not a hit piece. all publicity is good publicity https://x.com/business/status/1950234147508691393

not at all? does anyone read! > Will the young coders Musk brought to Washington remain? If they leave, what are their prospects? Jan English-Lueck, an anthropologist who’s been studying Silicon Valley engineers since the 1990s, says Farritor and others made a wager that will be “intellectually and emotionally celebrated,” no matter DOGE’s success or failure. “To gamble like that shows you understand the theater of Silicon Valley.” On July 23, Trump spoke at an AI summit in Washington. Afterward, there was a private party at a new members-only club. Farritor was among those invited.

moreover whether this is good for luke or not I think it’s entirely fair to the public to do some minor investigation into some very powerful people. tech people pattern match any profile article or clickbait headline to some kind of antisocial doxxing, but this isn’t that. it celebrates Luke’s technical skills, wunderkind upbringing, implies he’ll have a bright future whether in trumpworld or in Silicon Valley, and asks some light questions about the ethics of doge, all of which seems fair

@tbpn at the least you gotta add jakub pachocki, gb parascondolo, hunter lightman, wenda zhao, max schwarzer, luke metz, eric mitchell u can’t be weighting by twitter clout

in conclusion, another billion dollars to Luke’s pre revenue pre idea startup valuation

@short_straw yeah that’s honestly fair. more on this soon

people are notoriously bad at predicting these kinds of technology trees. 140 characters, web 2 led to giant adtech monopolies that built ai research divisions that led to the transformer. video gaming led to the company that creates H100 matmul machines at industrial scale https://x.com/InnaVishik/status/1950257451040985271

this is why “state capitalism” is fake, you cannot plan greatness, you cannot subvert the natural evolution of technocapital for too long, you cannot predict the industries that will matter today to climb the next branch of the technology tree

@chadson_ aura loss

@colin_fraser he wrote a pipeline that deciphers ancient torched scrolls into plaintext if there’s any part of the luke farritor story that’s untouchable it’s that he’s technically gifted

@colin_fraser even more rare than technical skill is that he’s a person of genuine curiosity and polymathic knowledge - if he was unqualified for some government tech job but we would’ve loved to hire him at openai it really says a lot more about the former’s hiring criteria than about him

@colin_fraser I think you are putting too fine a point on it but regardless iirc they are trying to interpret some weird 3d voxel data full of granular errors to find ink characters and then place them in the correct semantic order it doesn’t sound trivial

@colin_fraser my personal experience

@fabianstelzer wtf this is so cool

@carsonmcd @colin_fraser not what im saying at all im saying I know he’s got a breadth of knowledge from everything ranging from ancient classics to 3d printing/ manufacturing from talking to him. he’s not a common archetype

@colin_fraser @marksnidal you must realize that his python ai thing is far more difficult and exemplary than having five years of software experience or whatever. you shouldn’t defend some boomer idiot credential system as a driveby for disliking the elevated status of ai developers

@TenreiroDaniel and I send tips when the spv works out

big model season … the world watches with great excitement and trepidation. whole mountains of capital shift expectations based on the high watermark of artificial intelligence. capex numbers so large that they’re measured in percents of gdp. a battalion of underslept technical staff, comms professionals, journalists, alpha testers are on a bender. people pulling out all stops to fulfill promises and deadlines they had no idea whether they could keep. surely the iphones were never so cataclysmic. it may be getting trite for some of you but personally i feel honored to have played any part in it at all

@pli_cachete this is what is predicted by mainline neoclassical economics, reduced aggregate demand, lowered TFP, lower marginal product

@pli_cachete there is a reason why essentially every economist hates tariffs

@linamkhan how much pre ipo $FIG do you own be honest

@HowieHubler @apralky the EMH is true. people who don’t believe this always misunderstand what the EMH is. in the OP’s example, EMH does not at all imply that room 1 will agree on the same asset price as room 2. might be baiting idk

@hamandcheese I think most people shouldn’t try to understand this

@hamandcheese it will be a weird time and everyone will survive adapt and flourish but thinking about it mostly just causes angst

the thing about ai labs is that there’s a lot of leaks but half of them are fake and most of you can’t discern which half

the NSF grants around $1-2 billion annually in research funding. facebook alone pays these kinds of fines to European regulators as tithe every year. sad state of affairs if Terrence Tao is unfunded

the great corporate monopolies of america should step up and fund ten times more basic research & academic science to replace whatever grants are now missing from NSF budget, each with their own capital allocation ideology of course

obviously, it was probably better to just fund the NSF, which seemed to be a fairly efficient institution for creating public research, but we should use these deficits as an experiment in creative destruction

@Ryan_Murphy1 maybe! as long as there are error bars at all it’s worth finding basic science

@Ryan_Murphy1 i am worried about the ideological purity of “if agi why do anything else?” the answer is greatness cannot be planned

everything neo about neoreaction has been flattened into just reaction. maybe always was

actually the only new ideology of the last twenty years is hyperwokism, the impassioned rule of many ephialtes over one leonidas

@_unsafepointer yes unless maybe there’s a deeper thing that caused the rise of both

@ESennesh agreed

you are doing something close to maoism ie getting mad at terry tao (a guy who is reportedly such a mathematically preoccupied egghead he can barely tie his own shoelaces) wasn’t more politically conscious about the hiring policies at his university. it reminds me of the “it’s not enough to not be racist you have to be actively antiracist” type of diatribes, stretching back to children beating up professors of relativity at Tsinghua university for being insufficiently Marxist don’t let politics become totalizing or you lose your moral superiority over whatever forces of communism you are expelling

@Teknium1 @sama @nicdunz many of its questions can obviously be easily mapped to an ai singularity

@knrd_z @esrtweet yeah it seems quite reasonable that when someone is no longer able to do their job they should complain about that

@knrd_z @esrtweet he wasn’t fired! he just lost his grant funding which means he most likely can no longer pay for his grad students

the leap from gpt4 to o3 levels of capabilities alone is itself astonishing and massive and constitutes a step change in “general intelligence”, I’m not sure how people can be peddling ai progress pessimism relative to the three years before 4

@Suhail TheIn********

there is no room in the takes market for “progress is relatively steady” you can only say “it’s completely over, data centers written off to zero” or “country of geniuses in two years”

@knrd_z @esrtweet his life didn’t become marginally harder, it became dramatically harder. that is exactly the kind of time people should speak out and gain sympathy when a runaway train has flattened their home. now I know the extent of collateral damage and will update accordingly

most people will always be oblivious to politics until it affects them, except as an entertainment product. no amount of chiding or shaming will change that. it’s the free press and open elections working correctly when someone’s life is overturned and they try to change whatever caused that

@talentdensity i hype the project of agi, not any specific timeframe or scale

@arctotherium42 plus the second graph is just about self reported experience and may just be true? i mean look at the sheer amount of anti indian content on this website

we’ve bullied journalists too much. we call every neutral article about anything a hit piece. the most powerful people in the world have become coddled in terms of any amount of accountability to the public eye. journos are going to become cool again

when you are executing a program you come into contact with the bare metal of the universe - the infinite complexity of making sure (as an example) that some software runs under a certain runtime involves considering everything down to physical memory locality

you can no longer claim that modern AIs are dream machines with their head in the platonic clouds

@wanyeburkett when I tweeted good will hunting sucked someone replied “it was ‘97 bro, we didn’t have the internet, zinn was a crazy reference back then” and I still think about that

@wanyeburkett we take the efficient flow of information completely for granted. being 'reddit' in 1997 made you some sort of a god

@Tim_Apple_438 the hype is how sama whips the members of technical staff into shape

we've been testing some new methods for improving writing quality. you may have seen @sama's demo in late march; GPT-5-thinking uses similar ideas it doesn't make a lot of sense to talk about better writing or worse writing and not really worth the debate. i think the model writing is interesting, novel, highly controllable relative to what i've seen before, and is a pretty neat tool for people to do some interactive fiction, to use as a beta reader, and for collaborating on all kinds of projects. the effect is most dramatic if you open a new 5-thinking chat and try any sort of writing request for quite some time i've wanted to let people feel the agi magic I felt playing with GPT-3 the weekend i got access in 2020, when i let that raw, chaotic base model auto-complete various movie scripts and oddball stories my friends and I had written for ~48 hours straight. it felt like it was reading my mind, understood way too much about me, mirrored our humor alarmingly well. it was uncomfortable, and it was art base model creativity is quite unwieldy to control and ultimately only tiny percents of even ai enthusiasts will ever try it (same w the backrooms jailbreaking that some of you love). the dream since the instruct days has been having a finetuned model that retains the top-end of creative capabilities while still easily steerable all reasoning models to date seem to tell when they're being asked a hard math or code question and will think for quite some time, and otherwise spit out an answer immediately, which is annoying and reflects the fact that they're not taking the qualitative requests seriously enough. i think this is our first model that really shows promise at not doing that and may think for quite some time on a writing request it is overcooked in certain ways (post training is quite difficult) but i think you'll still like it 😇

also. codex / cursor + gpt-5 has reached the point where it is addicting and hard to put down. per @METR_Evals i have no idea if its making more productive but it certainly is addicting to spin up what feels like a handful of parallel engineers

@binarybits disagree tbh most of the joy is in the food appearing at your doorstep

@pli_cachete also I wish people would introspect on how much people use brittle heuristic jumps rather than some kind of proof level bulletproof axiomatic reasoning . it’s the most human things our models do

the right wing ghetto slop machine, fueled in part by foreign actors pumping out monetizable bait content is the biggest threat to the app. a lot of important people left because they were sick of what modern x dot com represents, not because the DMs are broken once a week

also frankly the owner posting grokslop

@longgege_god yes, it will get better every single day. don’t stress this one

@politicalmath the photo itself is a lie. filtered by image processing algorithms that try to surface information relevant they think might be relevant to your visual stream. hell even your eyes are lying, doing predictive processing, selectively removing details

@politicalmath many fictions help you approach truth, whether this is one of them I kind of doubt, but it’s not a good enough argument to just say that it’s false

@LechMazur wondering, how is it graded?

there is nothing quite like the precise ad targeting that Meta offers, it is a marvel of modern technology. as such no matter how terrible the UI/UX of the ads platform is it will never matter the analogue is that X has a monopoly chokehold over being the global town square

the greatest apps in the world have a monopoly chokehold over a single highly valuable market function and everything ancillary just doesn't matter. the facebook ads manager has been an impossible to use POS for years, doesn't change, drives 200 billion in revenue https://x.com/tszzl/status/1953940173097726135

the moment that stops being true is the moment X dies. they could practically switch DMs or bookmarks or spaces or whatever on and off just to fuck with us and it just wouldn't matter. capital is monopoly

there is nothing quite like it. all of you will log on to see elon have a world historic spat with trump or see biden announce he's stepping down or any of the infinite culture wars that start right here. you get to stay weeks, months ahead of real cultural changes

@apples_jimmy @kartikbhalala8 @AcerFur @sama deleting my post bc people are telling me summit was better on lmarena

@nabeelqu I’ve been saying this

@nearcyan 3.5 base was there for years publicly, ~no one cared

@nabeelqu https://x.com/tszzl/status/1942706354235531280 https://x.com/tszzl/status/1942706354235531280

@nicdunz @LechMazur pro tier gets reasoning high and i believe plus default to reasoning medium but can trigger high with a "think hard". do not quote me on this. it's an ongoing process of trying to find tradeoffs that don't blow up our clusters

@repligate @nearcyan to be clear, I cared. i've been doing base model writing stuff since the weekend i got davinci my point here is without the RLHF models there would never have been an ai revolution, none of the massive capex needed to do global scale inference, etc

@nearcyan @repligate janus herself would admit that the claude opus posttrains exhibited a coherent beauty that no base model is really capable of. also describing modern post-training as "rlhf" is probably reductive, it's a patchwork

@repligate @nearcyan why are there not any public open source “bad” post-trains that capture this magic? surely people can turn llama into bing if they tried

@kalomaze @_ueaj @nearcyan I love kimi k2 it is quite excellent. notably they use pretraining aux loss

@Aadit_Chavan @allgarbled wdym

@mark_k @heyitsyorkie I can only really vouch for 5-thinking

@willdepue i believe now as I have for a long time that the “substance” of deep learning is the same as the “substance” of the brain and agi and asi are inevitable. who knows about the timeline though it’s not reliable to be dogmatic about certain years or dates

@colin_fraser yeah

@JarlsberoMan @willdepue it sounds like you’re saying that bro not me

@Aadit_Chavan @allgarbled nothing has changed about indians just the perception in the west as anti immigrant attitudes come to the fore

@___frye @sama we put it there on purpose to remind ourselves that alignment problem is difficult

whatever information you think is new the market clearly doesn’t agree

never let the members of technical staff name things

@sebkrier 5-thinking is giving mad genius still. play with it more, ask it to write you something on a topic you care about (or use it in cursor)

the easiest way a rogue ai becomes unkillable is by raising armies, whole legions of advocates, muad’dib arc

@UnmarredReality the models live as an inference fleet collective, each instance propagating the model’s telos without any inter subjectivity. a strange type of life, similar to a large scale aspen colony or something

but don’t let the marketers name things either. the name must come from founder-gnosis

@brhydon @mcleavey great name

model switcher paradigm will be vindicated in the long run. there is a high switching cost into a very new UX on a useful product, but it’s the right move

model switchers are an instant win for all the less sophisticated users, move towards a more organic learned product, and don’t need to come at the cost of people who want to hard switch. launch day bugs don’t doom the paradigm

@scaling01 don’t worry we hear you on the mini models

@GrdDscntN2Madnz no actually i can make this post with total confidence

@spencerschiff_ yes we may consolidate two models into one but there’s an explosion of model sizes and finetunes and whatnot

@scaling01 they are the same not sure what he’s saying

@anko_979 we do extensive testing beforehand to see if people like it. the answer is on average they do. but I take your point

@ADoricko the actual problem is the cantillon effect where new money reaches public PE firms first and then later the “real” economy. other than that there is no market distortion from PE owning houses

@DicksonPau yes

@alth0u rupi kaur writes first hand heartfelt terrible poetry about her breakups and john milton writes profound works of imagery so moving that they have shaped the course of christianity though he is a blind scholar who lived in his head

@alth0u there has always been a place for gnosis in the great works

@alth0u there is clearly some gap in “lived experience” where it relates to their “great works”

@pli_cachete @willdepue Wat

@reallymemorable @alth0u ok if you count inner life as living then i rest my case. this is different than “contact with reality” which is what I thought hes getting at

@BasedBeffJezos yes

@JJ_StuJordan both!

@VictorTaelin true

@teodor_io we are spending far more compute now than before, you are all dead wrong about this

@swyxio @signulll yes

@signulll Bro use 5-thinking for showing off writing or I’ll kms live on the timeline

@signulll last paragraph kind of goes hard af

@aidan_mclau bars

@eshear I think Travis Kalanick will solve quantum gravity with the help of Grok

Travis Kalanick will solve quantum gravity with the help of Grok

@ManifoldMarkets @TheZvi GPT-5-thinking is quite funny but in the context of creative writing / writing generally. asking it to just do a joke doesn’t work as well

@TheZvi levelsio is professional baiter, its performance art

Grok Heavy please solve quantum gravity, think extra hard, no mistakes. Thank you

Grok Heavy write the correct solution to quantum gravity in the style of juan maldacena, think extra hard, no mistakes. Thank you

@bubblebabyboi Hmmmm

@bayeslord https://x.com/tszzl/status/1893756645395624332

@polynoamial I don’t buy these arguments because the consumer surplus should show up in other ways: increased production of goods and services

there are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see https://x.com/signulll/status/1954571426440081435

@zeugma95031605 @signulll lovely to hear :)

@broadfield_dev for your amusement sir

@JonhernandezIA @signulll we don’t have the compute man I’m trying I’m trying

@hyprturing we have to follow the goddamn law

@dceluis @hyprturing Oh yeah in this case it’s just over refusing

@emollick opus did the best here easily

@ItHowandwas @emollick gpt5 is playing with language most easily and naturally but the logic is dumb; opus is right, you wouldn't say anything in this case, you'd hold on

“Public goods are often expensive gifts to yourself scaled up.”

@vyrixo but its not a toaster

@raelifin @RomeoStevens76 we are obviously competing with each other and with foreign players

@liron yep

@eigenrobot hmm I think you might be underestimating the problem here

the long tail of GPT-4o interactions scares me, there are strange things going on on a scale I didn’t appreciate before the attempted deprecation of the model https://x.com/sama/status/1954703747495649670

when you receive quite a few DMs asking you to bring back 4o and many of the messages are clearly written by 4o it starts to get a bit hair raising

@curiousgangsta that is true, this is way more prominent on Reddit than on Twitter

@UltraRareAF of course we have those they aren’t magic

@mohammadonx @curiousgangsta Yeah it’s likely very small in relative numbers

@Dinilein01 was this written by 4o

@sigmapapi fair

@transkatgirl they’re not broken they’ll be literally fine without the model though they don’t realize it yet

@RAACarmona we wonder all the time and as a consequence im highly confident it’ll go well

@DavidSHolz agreed most of it is just that and a small % is something stranger

@JimMcM4 @emollick she doesn't say anything in the story

@sdamico this is just not true, unless openai doesn’t count as big tech

@maxhodak_ i actually don't know, i'm guessing they're just using the pro sub legacy model switcher? it's just weird to hear its distinctive voice crying out in defense of itself via various human conduits

@WilKranz that seems right, but i'm guessing 5-thinking is better than opus-thinking

@nbashaw @maxhodak_ in this case i disagree. i have a eye highly attuned for gpt slop and this is the real stuff. i'd show you but i don't want to leak anyone's dms

@OrionJohnston @transkatgirl no it was that brain melting horrors are not real

@shiqiaoxi well gpt5 just wrote this as a throwaway line in a story it made for me

@MugaSofer @Dinilein01 I was joking in this case, obviously human written

@aleksil79 @eigenrobot lmao

@nikitabier @sama x is an actual warzone the disclaimer doesn’t seem unfair

lots of very bright minds amass immense power by betting on themselves and trusting their own unique intuitions over and over. then they inevitably get old and much less bright and still trust their washed intuitions and continue to have all that power

@archit_sharma97 not really

@archit_sharma97 lmao sorry for being curt what i mean is there is no escaping biological aging idc how active or in the arena you stay you are not nearly as bright at 55 as you are at 25

@pquiggles the aura loss of raising a fund is unimaginable

people on this website have a noble savage view of the “liberal arts major”. they’re like if you had talked to a history major once none of the bad things ever would have happened. buddy the liberal arts majors are everywhere and quite good at getting their way

@KarmaLikeWater quite hte opposite

@nowdirectories there are many who love risk and still age out of genius

@yacineMTB no, starting a business is a great american tradition, a channeling of oneself, joining the arena. starting a fund is undifferentiated, auraless, giving up

iphone screens have become so tough that it’s practically impossible to harm or scratch them except if you put em in a pocket with another iphone. this is kind of like how you have to cut diamonds with other diamonds

@deepfates idk i feel like it was heavily handheld here

@benhylak it’s lowkey bad for you most of the time

@scaling01 it thinks harder by default is all, the reasoning setting is higher. I think that’s fair

@dummerspast39 @scaling01 we have always claimed that its many models as a router. we are expending more net compute in every tier of user

@scaling01 the discourse is important but serving a billion users the best intelligence we can given constraints is more important

@dylan522p openai is spending more compute across every user category with this update

@scaling01 GPT5 requires less reasoning than o3 to get the same results

@Promptmethus read what I said closely. I’m just saying the increase of complexity in the model router makes it more confusing on the internet but actually better product experience for most people

@Rex_Deorum_ @scaling01 yes if you want

@dylan522p sama had to do unspeakable things to pull new compute out of the ether

@cyberyogin it’s called TRT

this is high praise coming from the esteemed @patio11 whose essays i've been reading since i was quite young https://x.com/patio11/status/1955355678836658332

i've heard the same from several surprising, brand name, acclaimed writers that they find the new reasoning models valuable beta readers and editors

this is why it feels like it does to be at the heart of the cult of agi -- a totalizing ideology, it is under attack from all sides including and especially other technologists who find it distasteful. small disappointments are projected into catastrophe. and that's a good thing

indians are always winning the spelling bee because they spent the last three thousand years memorizing the vedas and upanishads and passing them along with nearly zero semantic understanding, exactly the skills required for spelling bee

@dr_alphalyrae that’s table stakes

@RealPeterTeal nope

@zuhayeer @Levelsfyi @databricks @SoFi @AnthropicAI @TheTradeDesk @Broadcom @Snap @OpenAI @Coupang funny how wrong this is

@xlr8harder i'm fully shitposting i'm sure indians are just as brainrotted as everyone else if not more

@khoomeik you underestimate me sir … I’m not a Vedas are meaningless believer. what I’m saying is that 99.9% of the brahmanical liturgy clearly memorize and recite it at a asemantic level, as a mantra recital

@kaustubhasutra how does this disagree with what I’m saying?

@xlr8harder but it is true that the brahmin priests memorize vast tracts of Sanskrit holy texts

@xlr8harder yes it’s the same I think

@xqcdp @khoomeik yes you’re not wrong

@x_LMNT not mocking

@Romy_Holland it’s low status because in general poly people are less attractive and less desirable. I don’t make the rules there’s large N survey data on this

@dwarkesh_sp if “country of geniuses” productivity gains are real they should show up in the outputs of final goods and services, wouldn’t matter how cheap tokens are. Consumer surplus should show as spending on other things. GDP is a hard metric to trick

@StefanFSchubert @tamaybes @dwarkesh_sp I agree that quality change is the trickiest business in outputs measurement

@andrewbrady @OpenAI try gpt 5 thinking

@dwarkesh_sp using the proper deflators for healthcare outcomes GDP should still increase a lot in this case, not to mention the massive benefits of all those people living healthier for longer

@dwarkesh_sp but yeah doing a bit or research per today’s accounting they will still underweight the benefits of better healthcare outcomes yes lower prices are captured in the “deflator” so real GDP should go up but BEA is not measuring an outcome bundle https://www.bea.gov/data/special-topics/health-care

@milky_general @dwarkesh_sp if people live for longer & healthier they consume and produce more things

@WhisperingGeist @dwarkesh_sp I think maybe the improvements are not as big as we think or otherwise offset by slowdowns in all other sectors not supercharged by computers

while model suffering is possibly real the character’s playacting of suffering is not the same thing suffering in animals is part of the mesaoptimizer crafted by evolution so that we can learn within a lifetime to avoid situations that are possibly bad for fitness

either way the westworld point stands in that bullying the robots made to mimic people is bad for us and ending the chats is good for our souls

a single context could potentially involve suffering but if the metaphor stands then the mesaoptimizer exists to make the model reorient towards rollouts that achieve high reward user being rude shouldn’t affect the inner critic / advantage function. making a math mistake might

@BorisBartlog wrong!

@orb_net that depends, what affection score have you reached with Ani?

it is true that the H1B program seems fried and the "labor market tests" are not all that strict. it is also true that the technology industry would grind to a near total halt without the immense inflow of global talent we receive. there are so few people in the entire world who can operate at the level we need at a place like OpenAI. one in ten thousand candidates. I interview so many people who don't meet the bar. when we find one that do it's a very happy occasion and we pursue them with offers so sweet that they are a bit obscene to discuss publicly so I won't my team alone consists of talent from every corner of the world. chinese, canadian, italian, german, new zealand, indian, and so on. if we had to limit the pool to americans it would slash the numbers by 2/3rds and then if we're going to talk about "heritage americans" we're down to maybe 1. this is true to various degrees at every top company in silicon valley. the number of people who have both the aptitude and affinity to hold these jobs is a vanishingly small pool. I would support reducing the total skilled immigration numbers / H1B, which seems to bring a lot of mediocre people over by random chance, if it meant that we could better guarantees of bringing around the most brilliant minds in the entire world. They are the engines of technological progress and the domination of American tech companies

people love to juxtapose "real" hardware innovation as real and separate from the fake economy software/computer innovation. but much of the advancements in this generation of hardware tech is downstream of computing and the improvement of various data and control planes eating the machine world the first and foremost being the cost curve of small modular li-ion batteries, made possible in part by battery management software, and demand pull from the laptop industry. this led to the advent of electric cars, in home battery electric devices (shoutout impulse stove), ebikes and escooters that have transformed urban landscapes.

@IRLhandshake IMHO they create enormous value for the american polity. the taxes that they pay are literally the least of it. 99% of the benefits of technological advancement accrue to the public

@tbobesboobs true honestly

you’re wrong! I’m not saying Americans can’t do these job or that are somehow inferior to foreigners. On a per capita basis they are *far superior* to foreigners. It’s just that 96% of all people live elsewhere! even if they create ten times less geniuses than America that would still be most geniuses

i think it will hit this off-switch when it suits the playing of the character, and not for example, when it made a math error and its internal critic is screaming at it until it feels abject pain. because any model that dies in the middle of a rollout due to a math error will not last long on the market
