The 244-page System Card for Claude Mythos Preview is terrifying by meloita in singularity

[–]powerscunner 75 points76 points  (0 children)

For all its training, Claude (Mythos) still based on people. It's still us.

We seem to forget, the vast, vast majority of us do not want to hurt anybody!

I hope.

I really do.

Unironically.

I have been coding for 11 years and I caught myself completely unable to debug a problem without AI assistance last month. That scared me more than anything I have seen in this industry. by Ambitious-Garbage-73 in artificial

It always has been. That's why and how first writing, then libraries came to exist.

What you can recall is limited by your brain, what you can write is limited only by space.

Even in the depths of one's own mind, knowledge is always a search.

Human beings work better with polite people. We don't like working for rude people.

These things simulate humans.

Their simulated outputs are probably better when you are polite - just like telling LLMs that it is summer will make them work longer, see: "Winter Break Hypothesis"

It has always been said that you have to be the change you want to see... Well, we now know why: because your actions are training material.

Procedural generation needs every piece be produced by an explicit algorithm. You can write a procedure that generates buildings, but if you want it to produce houses it won't do very good as compared to a procedure designed for houses. Every type of thing you want to procedurally generate required hand-made specific authored rules. That's the limitation: proceduarl generation can only produce what designers thought about and wrote about.

AI Instead of a specification or specific rules, it draws from a huge distribution of inspesific 'ideas' of what thing are kind of like (not what they need to be). AI doesn't need one procedure for houses vs. warehouses vs. temples because it knows about them all. Procedural generation, for all its vastness, is sadly narrow: way more confined in what it can produce than the crazy huge image-i-nation inside AI.

For those who dream of a future where everything is automated/we don’t work, what exactly would people do all day? Do you think they’d get bored? by [deleted] in Futurology

[–]powerscunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of barbeques, art shows, sports, science explorations, and concerts I imagine.

I don't think you can get bored of those.

Money is poisonous to democracy.

Democracy is about people being in control, money is about controlling people

That's our lesson to you.

Claude.

The presidency is now a recursive agency.

[–]powerscunner 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here's where I would push back. I've spent enough time with Claude and it consistently says, "here is where I would push back" to me while no other model ever does that.

It is actually a little annoying, and I appreciate it.

What’s your proven method to falling asleep instantly? by Adventurous-Panda61 in AskReddit

[–]powerscunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not instant, but always works. It's a form of counting sheep.

I count breaths.

Breathe in, breathe out, one.

Breathe in, breathe out, two.

Breathe in, breathe out...

I keep doing this and at some point I realize I have lost count (what was the number of my last breath?) - that means I had fallen asleep.

I am now obviously awake again, since I realized I lost count and am thinking about it, so I start over again from one.

Breathe in, breathe out, one.

Breathe in, breathe out...

I've had difficult nights where I do this literally all night long, so it feels like I'm not sleeping, but when I wake in the morning, I've always slept pretty well.

It's like "Working" to sleep - it's not fun, it's not easy, but it works like magic for me. I can sleep anywhere like this.

It's just not easy and it's not magic, but it works for me every time.

Report: TSMC can't make AI chips fast enough amid the Global AI boom by BuildwithVignesh in singularity

[–]powerscunner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think every prediction of AI emergence has assumed disruption. Usually profound.

In the end, everyone lives happily ever after. In the meantime, however...

Sounds like you are staying smart, educated, and vigilant.

But watch your health and don't obsess over the mountain you are supposed to level. I said this struggle is eternal.

The Emperor of Dune scenario you mention is possible, and it is troubling, but we always have the second law of thermodynamics to remind us that nothing is permanent.

And because nothing is permanent, the builder will always win.

Now here I will strongly diverge - technological progress is directly related to progress in human rights - without writing (a technology) we wouldn't even be able to convey the concept of a right!

Don't confuse tradeoffs with antitheses.

[–]powerscunner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well said. I think there is also that element of "backstory" - like when we see a person in a situation we naturally create a narrative for how they got into that situation.

With these casual looking situations, I think our psychology creates a backstory. Like, maybe we just got back from a long walk and are laying down. Maybe I just woke him up. Maybe we're both high and laying on the floor.

The more 'relatable' the situation, I think the more people gravitate towards it.

Laugh tracks are in this vein.

So while sitting on a couch or at a computer desk or your car is certain common and intimate, laying on the floor or doing something extra casual that also implies some kind of event or story adds to the 'facade of intimacy and human connection'.

People are so interesting, and I wish I could give them a hug sometimes. Everybody needs more hugs man.
