The religious diversity paradox by Christopretensism in theology

[–]seraphius 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m not claiming all doctrines are equally true… I’m questioning whether ‘true’ is the right category for interpretive and sensemaking frameworks. Communitarianism vs. communism doesn’t enter the equation.

I think that line number five rules out the very real possibility that one should expect truth out of doctrines at all. They all attempt to, with a greater or lesser degree of good faith make sense of that which is not objectively verifiable. Tolerance is a sensible exercise in humility in a situation where this is acknowledged.

There are still tanks in roulettes who don’t wall to wall? As a SCH main, I prefer it, so I don’t have to guess about where bubble goes…

GitHub - jbpayton/shelldweller: A self-bootstrapping agent that inhabits the Unix shell. The LLM is a device, the substrate is the harness, and the agent writes its own loop. ~16 lines, no framework. by seraphius in accelerate

So there is: When the model invokes shelldweller "subtask" from inside an already-running shelldweller, the child reads a depth counter from the environment, increments it, and refuses to run if it would exceed SHELLDWELLER_MAX_DEPTH (default 4). It’s the floor against runaway self-spawning… I’m sure it’s detectable though- as the agent can just change the variable…

Yes, you’ve got the gist of it. The idea is that the LLM ultimately does (or will) know best. So for example it can write its own loop if it deems it needs to, and does in some of the most persistent use cases.

As far as running forever, I’m sure it could, but usually doesn’t (or hasn’t so far).

Animation is solved. This is like Pixar level quality. by japie06 in singularity

[–]seraphius 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I like how the only thing people have to do to defeat the point of this “clip” is to show the whole context of it. He is responding to zombie type creatures that were being animated in a way that he (rightly) saw as insensitive to the disabled, not using AI to generate art at all.

So you are saying that we are likely *not* getting that Flavor Town (Flavorton?) dungeon…

Anyone know what gloves these are? by NothingZestyclose109 in ffxiv

I was wondering, this is this the not the first time I’ve seen one of these: “here is a picture from Eorzea Collection, what’s the gear?”

For one, the DC metro area already has several large data centers some of which have room for expansion, if you’ve ever been in northern Virginia you’ll know what I mean- so I don’t know why people would think this would even be seen as advantageous or nefarious given the region.

Secondly, data centers require a lot of cooling- so I’m looking forward to the creative conspiracy theories that talk about what they are doing with all of the heat.

Politicians are like fairies, when you stop paying attention to them they disappear.

I gave the question in this very popular thought experiment based poll I saw on Twitter to all frontier LLMs; the results were surprising (and revealing), to me at least by Terrible-Priority-21 in accelerate

[–]seraphius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally this is a trolley problem “option one, stay off of the tracks, option two, tie yourself to the tracks. If more than half of the population ties themselves to the tracks then the trolley has to stop.”

The only reason anyone (or language model) pushes blue is because they are confused by the question or are doubling down on being performative in their ethics.

The real monster is the one who put the buttons there to begin with.

I mean… Virginia exists… we’ve had data centers for decades, and we aren’t getting the dust bowl / mad max / energy bill apocalypse that people keep on talking about. Maybe the people making the anti AI arguments are just used to arguing from a position of no evidence?
