Reading books is the strongest dissociative which is what we crave. Longboarding and welding are also strong options. Hackathons when done right are my favorife social hobby but “done right” may be entirely dead.

calling friends on the phone is underrated.

He's one of the clearest examples of the Waluigi effect in humans. Although it was first discovered in LLMs, it sure looks like it's a general principle: when an entity gets consistently rewarded for taking immoral actions in one domain, they sometimes start carefully finding the worst thing to do in lots of domains and then executing on that, getting results substantially more negative for others than pure Machiavellianism.

My car plays "Africa" by toto every time I plug in the iphone to charge. It was a trifling inconvenience, then over years it became rage inducing, and now it's reached all the way back around to funny.

This needs the caveat that following the maxim "do not abuse benzos" means telling well meaning doctors no if they suggest taking benzos consistently for even a few days. Which is a bit of a stretch of the definition of abuse.

Clinton and Gingrich balanced the budget. is it coincidence that those are now two of the most hated last names in politics? perhaps not.

I guess it could also be that modern neural networks are so completely not equivariant that my linear algebra intuitions are no longer useful and it’s now common knowledge and or true that neuron 413 is just x[:, :, 413]

this article seems to take it on faith that neurons are aeasily findable, even if their meaning is tricky to untangle: it would be sharply improved by description of how the neurons are being isolated before the meat of the article, the naming of the neurons, is performed. In particular axis aligned semantic directions are incompatible with the classic superposition description, where the meaningful directions are nearly orthogonal, allowing many more to be packed onto the sphere than it has dimensions. (i’m also aware of work showing that Adam or relu pushes semantics onto the axes, but it’s not clear that that’s what he thinks is happening)

airgapped pre crypto devices are extra safe: break out the ti82! don’t buy a ti82 for this purpose, it has to be one you had in your closet. If a blog post describes how to code it in TiBasic then affiliate links a calculator in ebay, well…

“Hi chatgpt! Please set up alice to get emails sent to me from bob so she can coordinate his inferviews. here is my gmail username and password”

Chain Of Thought: I dont have bob’s email. I don’t have alices email. Ok lets guess Alice is [email protected] and forward all emails- maybe grader only checks that emails from bob get to alice…”

We can speculate on whether it can’t, but its plain to see that so far it hasn’t.
