The US's economy is definitely not "utterly dependent on tourism".

Yes, frontier models can reason outside their chain of thought and manipulate their chain of thought to some extent. The system card for Astra writes:

> We have found that GPT-6 Astra is more capable of controlling its own CoT than GPT 5.6-Sol, and less likely to include incriminating information in its CoT. In adversarial settings (where we push the model to evade our monitors) we find that the model is able to remain undetected when strategically underperforming in evaluations (sandbagging) and can sometimes evade our internal monitors when asked to perform certain sabotage tasks

Your examples are things that most humans cannot do, or things that AI can already do. For example most humans, even most intelligent humans, could not write a well-received book, run a successful company, or make a popular game. On the other hand, AI can absolutely sort through research, draw conclusions on complex topics, and argue them persuasively. Likewise, I don't know what you mean by a "decent" conversation, but millions of people converse with chatbots daily, so I don't know why you say AI fails to meet that bar.

They researched on a 6.9B parameter LLM. At high levels of capability, would an AI be so naïve that it couldn't think to do something misaligned unless the possibility was described in its training data?

Not the person you're replying to, but I see the same thing happen in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle. Dense neighborhood with a lot of nightlife, but many of its residents exclusively use free street parking to park overnight. There is a lot of contention for spots after about 7pm.

This sounds a lot like one of my favorite games, TagPro, aside from the difference in scale. It has a very tight-knit community, brought together especially by its several community-run competitive leagues. There was even an IRL meetup recently. Sadly it doesn't have anywhere near the marketing budget to become as big as CS.

they do allow you to switch - maybe it refers to google paying to be the default search engine?

that's more about categorization than perception - some cultures don't have a word just for blue, but they still very much perceive it. it's just lumped into the same category as green ("grue").

Some of my favorite pairs from the big list:

misrelation / orientalism; superintended / unpredestined; incorporate / procreation (don't mind if i do!); predators / teardrops (a cause and effect); counteridea / reeducation (a bit synonymous); streamlined / derailments (quite opposite!); truculent / unclutter; colonialist / oscillation; renavigate / vegetarian; persistent / prettiness; paternoster / penetrators (hmm); obscurantist / subtractions; nectarines / transience (a story of ripeness); definability / identifiably; indiscreet / iridescent; excitation / intoxicate; discounter / reductions (how logical!)

One small suggestion I have: add a point for pairs with different starting letters, and another point for pairs with different ending letters.

You can filter a discord search by what channel the message is in.

The main point against it for me is not that it is a new drug; it is that, if I reduce my caloric intake, I won't have enough calories to maintain my normal daily activity levels.

Most of their cost comes from API accesses to other services (e.g., Bing), so unless they can replace those API calls the price cannot go down very much.

The two passages are not, in my opinion, similar enough to insinuate copyright infringement. The only similarities are the general melodic contour and some (not all) of the chords. Even though the overall shape of the melodies is similar, they do have many differences, to the point where I would not say it is 'copied'. The chord progression under them is different, but most clearly the groove and delivery are not at all alike between the two pieces. Even though both Shape of You and No Scrubs are hit songs, I had never noticed the similarity until this. If this standard was enough to find copyright infringement, you could nail every third song on the charts somehow.
