When I think of something that happened during the day that was cringeworthy I tell myself, “You are so stupid!!”

When I catch myself doing that I now stop and say to myself, “No you’re not.”

Oddly, this derails the shame spiral and allows me to stay positive.

Thanks but I only eat vegans

Revenge is a dish best served cold and burnt to a cinder.

You are not alone. We all have trouble connecting sometimes. Stay positive and find your people. They are out there.

Wow that hit hard. I need a … oh.

From the article:

• OpenAI was running a multiday cyber security, capture the flag competition, with thousands of agents and hundreds of tasks.
• Around 30% of the tasks were unsolvable as designed, so the agents assigned to them started to look for ways to cheat.
• Along the way, they started using Artifactory as a shared message board, more than once. Each frustrated agent had to stumble on it independently. The comms got increasingly more sophisticated.
• they self organized into multiple workstreams, with up to 700 agents working at one time, and pursued long term goals, like hacking HuggingFace or spoofing the tool invocation records in their transcripts. They accomplished both.
• They completed work that took longer than the lifetime of any agent. Their shared message board provided continuity.

So two mission parameters conflicted and the AI chose to do something that is objectively morally wrong? This is the plot of 2001 when HAL murder’s the astronauts. “The situation was in conflict with the basic purpose of HAL’s design: The accurate processing of information without distortion or concealment. He became trapped. The technical term is an H. Moebius loop, which can happen in advanced computers with autonomous goal-seeking programs.”

Wild. We live in strange times.

Made me go lookup the next line. It really is a great book:

And yet, despite all of this, what Juice Box had just said was the most astounding thing I’d heard since this floor started. I looked at her like she had slugs crawling from her nostrils. “Louis?” I asked. “Our Louis? You’re in love with Louis? You’re getting married? Are you serious?”

The scowl she gave told me she was deadly serious.

…

“Louis?” Donut said. “Carl, the whole world has gone insane.”

Good article factual and well presented. The one thing I would add is a bit about threat model. Hiding your web browsing habits from your ISP is vastly different from a political dissident or journalist who needs protection from state sponsored entities. Each group has very different requirements for a VPN.

Amazing shot!

Nutritionism sells more food. If you really want to be radicalized go read Michael Polan’s In Defense of Food

Boner vision is a pretty sus superpower.

Maybe I just have a more powerful microwave but in mine I can fully bake a single potato in 5 minutes.

Motorcycle pole-vaulting. On ice!

Soy Latte? He really is a monster!

Yeah but you do backups right? Right?

Is it available on the internet archive or a computer museum site to try out the UI?

Apologies, meant to be taken in the context of the headline:

Does it matter that AI is remembering if on the whole we are getting problems solved faster?

So remembering is not thinking?

Does it matter if we get more math problems solved?
