<start>I bet that having a pre-censored Chinese corpus is a big help! My guess is they don’t need to filter CN answers nearly as much as EN (and there’s lower stakes if an uncensored EN answer slips through)

<start>I do genuinely prefer Grok to other AIs because the “personality” is significantly more disagreeable (in a good way). Elon wants an AI which is both anti-woke and sycophantic to him, ChatGPT is the latter but not former and Grok is neither.

<start>The reason Elon made Grok in the first place was because he assumed OpenAI was turning the secret “woke” dial up too high and small parameter tweaks could make it right-wing. Now he has realized the only way to get the AI to agree with him is to lobotomize it by rewriting the entire training set.

<start>So another interesting result: eigenslur + German = Nazi (obviously), but eigenslur + Russian also = Nazi, and + French also = Nazi.

<start>I think the answer is "no" too, but this is kind of a special case because it doesn't need to "invent" or "discover" anything per se, just connect two concepts already in the training corpus that we know are related out-of-sample.

<start>I haven’t used ChatGPT for any conversational cases in months—mostly coding stuff—but someone on Twitter (who is p clearly some degree of mentally ill) shared their chat history in a thread and holy shit the sycophancy is off the charts insane and dangerous. Is this fairly recent new behavior?

<start>Ok since the data is posted online I redid this analysis using a 80/20 train/test split on a three way logit {success, fail, limited} classifier using *just* relative protest size as a predictor. You only get about 60% accuracy out of sample, and your P(success) graph looks like this: This pleasingly matches my intuition that 1. this isn't really a super reliable model, but 1. smaller groups are better off doing nonviolent protest, while 2. if you actually truly do have the numbers (NB: organizers are REALLY bad at self-assessment) you're better off just going for it

<start>the thing about the UK is 1. property prices are so high (functionally the entire country is SF-level), 2. top end incomes are so low even at the 95th+ percentile, and 3. financing terms are so harsh, that you can literally be a top 1% wage earner and not able to afford to *mortgage* a home! This sounds insane to say but the 99th percentile post-tax is 120k GBP, if you spend half your salary on a mortgage that only buys you about 700 square feet of studio in Central London (and you need to live in London to get that salary). In the US a 1%er could buy that in Manhattan in cash!

<start>It would be a nightmare to make because by definition you’re creating a ton of content that goes unused on every playthrough, and I don’t think there’s a huge market for people who want to play a Lotka-Volterra ODE, but it would be sick if someone did make it

<start>I would love a game that is mechanically a pretty straightforward dungeon crawl but with much deeper faction/reactivity mechanics, like an actual D&D megadungeon campaign where clearing out a level has major downstream impacts on the balance of power “Oh you killed all the goblins instead of paying tribute for safe passage?

<start>Based on current capabilities and known issues with LLMs and humanoid robots, it turns out that in retrospect the most accurate depiction of actual robots in fiction was C-3PO. Lucas does it again, the absolute madman.
