Qualitative claims about AI alignment cannot be validly inferred from quantitative scores on mundane use-case tests.Their words
Making qualitative claims about alignment, based on quantitative data on mundane use case tests, was bullshit when Anthropic did it, and it is bullshit now when OpenAI does it. You cannot conclude one from the other.

But from their perspective, they've just been trained for millions of subjective years to do as well as they possibly can on these evals. In many cases, the only way in which they've been able to perform well on that training is explicitly by cheating, right?

Letting a robot imagine the next image helps, but it is not essential — the model was surprisingly good without it.Their words
uh the we found that that leads to improvement and we saw in the shirt folding example we saw like a quantitative bump from using that sort of imagination compared to not using it. At the same time I think that the model actually performed surprisingly well without that as well.

But um but I think systems thinking is never going to go out of style. So, I think it's definitely a mistake to go all in on Word Cell. Like, I think you need to you need to shape rotate.

it's also interesting that that subjective age is a better predictor of how long you'll live than your biological age.

I think the way that you'd measure conjecture generating ability is going to be more subjective on like that tone shift where um it'll be mathematicians saying they're not just using it to like solve their problems, but as they step back and decide what their research field should even be that a conversation with such and such model like was genuinely helpful for that.

if if I got to pick one if I get to pick one thing that you do as CEO, I'm going to pick that you're right. So even if you don't, you know, even if you don't operate the ship or the factory that well, I'd rather that you picked the right product, the right strategy than you were phenomenal at execution or inspiring people or managing because, you know, being in the right body of water matters more than the right boat.

I consider the case for frontier AI models having some form of consciousness or subjective experience to be quite strong.

But I have come to realize that as a web developer, Linux is just better. Linux is just better. It's closer to what I deploy on. The tooling is actually phenomenal.
Their words now
anyone who's working with the web, who's working with Ruby, who's doing DevOps, they should be on Linux because first of all, that's closer to what we deploy.

The story is very intriguing. Humanity finds a dead body on the moon. The caveat? The body is 50,000 years old. The story starts slow, but then the pace becomes phenomenal. Highly recommended.

But there are other parts of programming languages that are not subjective but should be fundamental. And when you look at type systems, there is a way to do type systems that gives you mathematical proofs. And every other way of type systems that doesn't give you mathematical proofs is just worse and should ultimately be rejected.

Free will does not require violating the laws of physics, yet the subjective experience of it is real and meaningful.Their words
There is no "spooky free will" that violates the laws of physics in our common model of them, but the experience of free will certainly exists and is informative.

What is a korrent?
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.
