    How is YouTube the only site on the internet that is able to autoplay videos with volume? I thought the browsers prevented that. How are they doing this?

    Also, when did backups go from $2/month to $5/month per linode? What a joke.

    Sad but expected price increase on short notice. RIP Linode (2003-2023)

    This is fascinating and impactful for AGI as likely the action-plan for the robot will be generated token by token similar to an LLM. Assume you have a robot instructed to protect …

    I failed to replicate the attack later in the evening in a "new" conversation. It does appear to me the model is learning between conversations, even without human input or RLHF.
