Was spending too much time reading Tweets, so set out to write down why one resignation turned the embers of AI fear into a wildfire -- and importantly square which claims I think are valid or hyperbole in the resulting discourse.

least often elsewhere. Posts are matched on those words alone —

Canadians look out for one another. It’s who we are. The women and men I met this week at the Thunder Bay Fire Management Centre have been working relentlessly to keep people safe through one of Ontario’s worst wildfire seasons on record. Service. Courage. Canada at its best. Related

I think its easy to say "Simulation is a new scaling law" and treat it as marketing hyperbole, but midway along this interview you can hear me go from somewhat shitposting to very very serious. I am 2 years late to this but finally understand why @karpathy and @drfeifei backed @joon_s_pk @msbernst @percyliang et al - Smallville at the time had zero commercial applications, but if you take RSI seriously, from models automating increasingly large parts of ML research and AI engineering, the last* barrier is simulating humans and human feedback, and Simile is obviously the team to do this and al… Quoting @latentspacepod Simulating Humanity: 85% accurate digital twins, behavioral foundation models, social physics, & 8 billion agents https://t.co/ntIccXOr1y @simile_ai CEO @joon_s_pk explains how AI can move from predicting what people will do to simulating how to shape outcomes, why today’s frontier models still mis… Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
