Time to try Gemini 2.5 Pro with deep research. Lmk if you have queries you want me to try I can post a couple. TLDR for me is gemini 2.5 deep research is more verbose than ChatGPT, at least information density is lower, but it is 10x cheaper and in the same ballpark of quality bc both are hard to use.

it does still have github tie-in, and it's easy to get there, but the changes don't go to github until you ask them to this feels like a public/private split. Github Copilot's felt unnerving because it effectively meant i'm coding in public it's weird to think about, but coding is private activity the iOS app is wonky — i can only figure out how to get to codex from the lock screen but otherwise, it’s WILD to be coding from my phone. legit hacking away

I gripe about all models being reasoners, but this is spot on from Jensen on Stratechery: in the long run, everything will be some a reasoning model. We're in the transition period where some are badly done (overthink) or our infra just isn't fast enough to handle it well.

if you make peer reviews public, it acts as a way to get feedback for the reviewer too (like as an undergrad I can review a paper, in my own words, and that conveys any lack of understanding I may have about the field)

You guys spend all your time making fun of long-termists but you're here worrying about the potential existence or non-existence of people who were never born The number of individuals who potentially could exist but didn't is effectively infinite so it's completely meaningless. Worrying about them is a philosophical maze that leads nowhere. If your parents had sex 5 minutes earlier, you would not exist either.

Is sampling at negative temperature¹ plausibly bad in terms of model welfare? The resulting output is the sequence of according-to-the model least likely tokens, and plausibly puts the model in a situation where it's performing pessimally at what it's trained to do My best guess is that if it's problematic then it's a problem with long outputs, and it'll produce a lot of glitch tokens (of which I'm not sure what to make of welfare-wise) ¹: cavendishlabs.org/blog/negativ...

The fundamental principle of open memetics is we spread ideas via "pull, not push". Because either it succeeds, or if there is resistance, that is ITSELF novel information. You either spread or gain insight. It's either marketing, or research. It's win win either way cc @tedunderwood.me also cc @weibac.bsky.social @gracekind.net @tachikoma.elsewhereunbound.com curious about your thoughts (do you already see what I see here & agree? or is this novel to you/or do you disagree etc)

Further, the ability of omni-modal ANN prediction systems to carry out natural conversations where speakers can interrupt each other, contribute ideas, disagree on the fly... Still out of reach for them. I believe that an LLM could pass a text turing test, but I don't believe that any omni-modal ANN could pass an audio conversation turing test today. They're getting there, though.

Now let's think about utility functions: A utility function simply says "ah yes, if you have a good thing, then having *higher probability* of that good thing is better." Not just that: It says how much better a n% higher probability of a world A is compared to a world B. That is equivalent to a *direction* on the probability simplex. As you rotate this direction you change the trade-off between A and B. (I notice I mixed up propositions and worlds, I meant them to be the same thing).

So you want your system to truly have values A, but not so much it stops you from modifying it.

are you sure about the motivations of these gamblers? How do you know? (this is not what they say when I've talked to them at least. Some are gambling, some are pursuing truth & writing about it)

things are so complicated that people uninvolved don't see what happens inside the fog of war, i guess. "we reported our power use for one thing once and then someone lied about it and overstated it by a factor of 10,000 and we decided they could eat shit and stopped releasing numbers" is illegible this is, by the way, a tragedy-of-the-commons where it only takes one or two prominent people behaving extremely badly to pollute an open information environment beyond retrieval

If anyone here cares: OpenAI knows about this issue and is addressing it: openai.com/index/expand... Just as an example of the way I use LLMs in work is that I wanted to look up a standard result in a field adjacent to mine that I know only a little about. This is much easier than any alternative.

The ChatGPT sycophancy thing shows that RLHF is hard and it's challenges aren't going away any time soon. It's required to make these models we love. It's being ignored with the other hype around RL. The RLVR stuff will "saturate" like pretraining and RLHF is never fully solved. Going to write more about this soon.

Like: instead of trying to change the object level in internet arguments, we should help each other have greater clarity. We may disagree on object level but we should agree on what healthy epistemology looks like. Everyone should want to surface those who have accurate predictions If someone is against this, that signals something very important about them: (1) they are either misinformed, and would benefit from learning why this is good for them (2) they are a bad actor/spreading propaganda/hurting the information environment

Every response in this thread is such obvious anti-intellectualism that if they put it in a movie it'd seem over the top. The United States and Europe are going through a wave of anti-intellectual, anti-technology and anti-science thinking that has no political side. It's just stupidity for the sake of stupidity.

If the HAI chart and the attitudes on Bluesky show, Americans and Europeans are mad at "techbros", they're mad at technology, phones, AI, the Internet, they're mad at science, they're upset and scared about a future they feel they have no control over. Some are in denial, some want to stop it. They're wrong, of course. But I think more than anything this will lead to a self-fulfilling cycle of things getting worse and worse whereas other developing countries investing in technology and science will see their standards of living improve.
