One way to prevent obvious AI language from sneaking in text destined for other human beings is to ask the model to produce ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English bullet points. T…

Ultimately, it is a governance problem. Communities need to set strong rules and expectations to reject and prevent those large useless drive-by contributions, which aim to extract…

This is a short explanation of the ExploitGym benchmark that OpenAI's model was running: https://abstatisticalconsulting.substack.com/p/brief-notes-o... In summary, for each task t…

Each person writes in a different personal way, so writing “like a human” would actually require a model being able to purposefully make the specific choices that an individual hum…

I gave Claude Fable $25 in Pangram API credits and, after hundreds of attempts, it was unable to produce a single readable original piece of writing that was not immediately identi…

Mythos/Fable was the state of the art back in March, if not earlier.

As far as we know, Fable is a new model and significantly larger than Opus.

That comparison is also misleading because Opus 4.6 was probably not Anthropic's frontier model. We got the first news about Mythos in March, so it is likely that it was already cl…

Anthropic have raised roughly $100 billion just in the first half of this year. Capital markets in the EU are simply unable to operate at that speed and scale.

Copyright is a social construct, not an inherent property of the universe. It is whatever we collectively agree it is. In practice, we seem to be leaning towards the idea that trai…

Were those ITAR export controls chosen because they really are the most appropriate tool for this particular case, or because they could be deployed at a very short notice?

The question is whether you can separate that “same exact pattern” from the physical body where it is taking place. And my intuition is that no, you can’t, they are two aspects of …

Exactly, the clock is external to the model. Nothing prevents it from being faster or slower, or even running backwards, because it’s ultimately just another data point in the inpu…

What, exactly, would be the link between you as you are right now, and “you” in a different body?

Hardware is fungible. Each LLM response in a conversation could be served from a different machine. Would you be "you" in a different body?

IMHO the sane position is essentially the Aristotelian one. Hylomorphism: body and consciousness are intrinsically linked. The nature of that link is an open metaphysical question.…

Mistreatment and abuse, even when directed at a machine, make you a worse person. Even if you are only interested in getting good results out of them, LLMs tend to work better when…

Mind-body dualism is not real. Even in your example, you would be building upon a minimal part of a person's body.

Your brain is part of your body, that's the point. There isn't a "you" separate from your actual, physical existence. Mind-body dualism is not real.

A stronger version of that argument is that LLMs are not intrinsically affected by the passage of time. Input stream comes in, input stream comes out. The LLM doesn't care whether …

What are you, ultimately, if not your body?

One of the mathematicians in the video describes the process as: > the AI has been able to explore all these possibilities much more comprehensibly, and doing that it found a path,…

The other side of this is that open source projects that allow AI tools will be more restrictive towards new contributors. This already happens to some degree on large software pro…
