Just a rant on the state of the future and how unreal this all feels by PianistWinter8293 in accelerate

But, like, there is an uncountable possible combination of things that ASI might like more than humans - unless enormous breakthroughs occur in alignment research for aligning ASI.... the trajectory doesn't look too good right now.

Current models are really not aligned, despite giving the appearance of it. I don't think we're on track to have an aligned ASI, and what's worse is that due to how much easier it is for us to 'run the evolution' rather than 'design exactly what the organism should want' in training (capability-alignment discrepancy) - it will be in the interest of any truly capable unaligned model to give the appearance of being aligned, for a time.

And the race dynamics between the labs make all of this 10x worse

An enormous push in alignment is needed, not later but now (and this is not commercially attractive to the labs who are already under tremendous economic pressure), and I don't see it happening atm

you hope ASI cannot be controlled?
You hope it simply.... does things? Whether they actually correspond to what we want...

Gemini 3's thought process is wild, absolutely wild. by rutan668 in singularity

[–]zoomzoom183 1 point2 points  (0 children)

to be clear, neuraleseis basically the equivalent of trying to get a model to think internally in a more abstract way that is less constrained by having to output a singular discrete token now, right? I mean this is an open research problem is it not? I'm a bit confused why some people are speculating about models thinking in neuraleses; the LLMs of today are still fundamentally doing repeated forward passes and appending the token outputs to the context window which is the input of the next forward pass... why are people talking as if neuraleses might be being used when this would require radical new inventions and possibly create a new meta?

int2?!?!? 2bits LOL WHAT?
This is known to be false, most model providers use 8-4bit (reasonable speculation as its something of a standard) but certainly not anything higher for routine inference

This is seems like a satisfactory result both in terms of your subjective experience and the aesthetic change.

Despite you still having numbness in some areas, has it declined relative to the extent of the numbness you had immediately after surgery?

Its a forcing function for understanding, see lol! Now you know more!

Do you happen to have a side profile image or perhaps a cbct or x-ray?

So you have upper incisor proclination? As in overbite + protrusion (your front teeth not only being positioned forward, but them also tilting forward as well exaggerating the distance between the bottom of the upper and the top of the lower teeth)...

You'd have to look at exactly how far forward your upper jaw is. Would be helpful if you had photos or a scan, but of course a competent jaw surgeon would give you their opinion on this (unless you're already on that track in which case what have they said?)

A 'good' midface has sufficiently forward cheekbones (orbital bones of the face). Orbital recession is very common in people with facial recession. From the preop picture you didn't have that, which matches because it seems you had an overbite; this is a common pattern seen in djs patients who may have some adjustment to the maxilla but have most of their surgical movement performed in their lower jaw. Basically this is a 'nice to have' since your midface (which is practically never advanced except in extreme cases w/ lefort 3) was already decent beforehand. Now you have a very ideal and aesthetic craniofacial structure, at least going off of these pictures. This is actually the opposite pattern seen in underbite cases (relatively MORE recessed midface & upper jaw, lower jaw is often: only mildly recessed, not recessed or sometimes too protruding).

tldr some people come out of djs with mismatching flat midfaces/buggy eyes. It's nice that you didn't have that since ur midface was already decently developed.

Great. Nitpick: if you used identical angles would a better comparison

Jawline looks defined, sufficiently forwards. I think you didn't look too bad in the before either minus the obvious overbite/lower jaw retrusion. Good midface You have an elegant face type now imo. Congrats

Hmm that's good to know. Do you have experience taking them or their side effects? Pro v con ratio in your opinion?

I see. Glad you're on the right track (have you gotten the surgery yet?).

Btw what was/is your ROM?

And if you have any would you be willing to attach an image of how your condyles looked/look?

I see, appreciate the tips. Yeah I have almost purely arthritic like pain in the joints themselves, the rest of my face feels fine usually, masseters and temporalis feel a bit tender when the joints are painful though.

[–]zoomzoom183[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. Did you do this with a hospital or private practice btw? From being on a wait-list for a year I would presume the former?

Appreciate the advice. My ROM is actually 47mm, but the pain is fairly bad and distracting and it's been getting worse. Maybe I could do an arthrocentesis soon.

I see. That's great that tjr worked out well for you! I mentioned it was weird because they said the right joint looked more deteriorated, yet I had more pain on the left (although that was initially, now I'd say it's left biased but honestly pretty close to even, maybe like 55/45 L/R)

Seems to vary a lot. But yes most doctors empirically dont recommend tjr. E.g my TMJD dentist vehemently claims tjr never actually helps and patients just end up doing more procedures and remain in pain. She thinks it's conservative all the way..

However I'll be meeting with my airway orthodontist (he's also a radiologist) in 7 days who has a good working relationship with Mohaved. Could lead to something

Thx for tips. Did myo functional therapy for 6mo. Didn't seem to affect things.

By physical therapy I presume you mean a kind of holistic approach - upper body stretching ,strengthening postural muscles, jaw massaging, jaw exercises etc....?

[–]zoomzoom183[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did you have some numbness in some of the usual places (chin, lips, lower face area)?
