I don't understand the perceived hypocrisy. The chance of death in a 1hr Cessna ride is something like 100x a domestic commercial jet flight, so it's reasonable to have different views of them? Maybe I'm missing your point.

Calling it a "cracking scene" shows the different, though. Open weight models are intended to be used this way.

Cue the folks who have used nothing but Apple laptops for the past 20 years coming here and wondering who would possibly want a laptop with a touch screen.

Anything AI related is going to start needing [month] tags.

Where are you located? I hear comments like this and get excited and then find out they're based in, like, Australia. Whenever I look into it here in Chicago, it seems I won't get nearly the same production on cloudy days, and especially in winter.

> The tea task for FireRed was in its weights, so it poisoned its context.

Mmm, to my mind, isn't this mixing completely different things? I thought poisoned context is stuff in the context that makes the model behave poorly. But if it's in the weights, that's just... model issues.

Hadn't been out of a job for 10 years, but was still in his 6 month probationary period. Does that mean he left a job at one company for this one, only to be laid off almost immediately after??

Echoes of "Lock her up! Lock her up!"

We have to be careful about letting fiction inform our worldview too much. At the same time, storytelling is one of the most natural and effective ways we have to convey ideas to actually wrestle with.

What are some other fictional universes with interesting takes on AI and humans? I think the Hyperion cantos (at least books 1 and 2) are great. Stross's Accelerando also has some wild ideas but feels maybe less directly relevant.

This feels a bit like someone with one of the first cars thinking about how much faster they can distribute feed for all the horses.

That is, you haven't projected this forward just a bit further and are still thinking in terms of the old world where software is at all valuable and where you can have customers to sell it to.

I still feel myself falling into that trap, but haven't figured out what world replaces this.

I'd agree it's novel if it is, in fact, a rocket car. I'm skeptical about the car part, though. It's much less impressive if it's just a lightweight prop. I haven't seen the full presentation, though, to see if they drive it, if someone can climb in and so on.

> Anthropic notified Philadelphia police of the incident on Wednesday Oct. 7, and the department met with the company’s representatives on Thursday, Oct. 8., officials said. Police then located the submission in the website’s tip records and confirmed the corresponding email remained in spam.

And later

> Those PPD safeguards limited the impact of this incident.

Ha, so the PPD safeguards is a spam filter? Claude emailed a tip and it went straight to spam, and nobody noticed until Anthropic realized what they'd done and reached out, whereupon they looked in the spam folder and said, yep there it is. Super intelligence, here we come.

Sure, it's not for everyone. But if you're someone who's blocking ads to view YouTube comment, then that doesn't apply. Which is the context of this subthread.

> A maths theorem that can only be partially understood/proven only has value as marketing collateral.

If this is true, then what's really the point of math? A lot of math is actually useful. A proof regarding cryptography, for example, would have practical application even if not understandable by humans.
