This @Neko scan will change healthcare. It feels like a spa and takes an hour from the time you walk in to get a scan, bloodwork, strength, body composition, and a consultation with a dr about your results. I went last year and they’ve made incredible progress on the technology already. The first New York City location opens next week. Related

I don't yet have numbers to back this up, but I gotta believe that someone connecting their agent to Kody in one agent and then switching their main driver to another somewhere else is suboptimal.

Physicist and science communicator. Writes Backreaction and makes videos explaining new physics and astronomy results, frequently to argue that the headline about them overstates the case.
The German startup Magnotherm is pioneering a new type of cooling technology: Instead of compressing a refrigerant gas, as usual, their fridges use metals that heat up in magnetic fields and cool when the field is removed. This can effectively be used to move the heat from one location (eg inside the fridge) to another (outside the fridge). The idea itself is not new, it goes back to the 19th century, but Magnotherm is the first to make the step to commercial use. Earlier this year, they announced that the German supermarket chain REWE will deploy their new fridges in 10 stores. The company s… startups Related

Their words
A model looking like it is becoming smarter, attempting shenanigans less often, and more often doing what you want, but getting better at hiding its actions when it wants to do that, is exactly the scary combination.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@jpteti/117094603833259184 One potential reason: delayed-location alerts require "always" location permission, whereas immediate ones just require “when using”. (Unforgetful only asks for the level it needs for the tasks you create. So if you never use delays, it sticks with "when using", and if you never use location reminders at all, it never asks for any access.) But a likely reason is that they just didn't think of it, because most to-do apps seem to be made by people with much more discipline and focus than I have. Related

From one piece
Chelsea Finn: This is the State of the Art in Robotics
3 beliefs, in the piece's order there
Their words
Uh and just like how we see in language models how now a lot of time is spent actually generating data, generating synthetic data by actually running the model and having it think through things. I think a lot of the data in the future in robotics is going to be the robot attempting to do lots of tasks in lots of real world circumstances.

Their words
Now maybe this isn't completely out of the question but this would be quite challenging uh to do and that's because the calculus is a little bit different. We're not just running compute to optimize for a use case. We're actually running the robot in the real world and using the hardware and attempting the task in the real world.

and trying to fold two boxes together isn't useful data that will teach the model how to get better at the task. And so that would be kind of wasting a lot of time on the robot attempting to go down the wrong path for solving the problem. And so instead of spending a lot of time trying to do that task, what we'll do is we'll actually have a human intervene and show the robot what to do and how to recover from that situation.

This industry group is working on an industry standard for how to report AI security incidents. This will drive consistency and transparency and is the safest path forward. Despite 120 members, the large LLM corporations have to-date not signed on. Drives further concern that they are using "breaches" as marketing events - vs wanting to get to true resolution. techcrunch.com

This incident is deeply concerning. AI agents are willing to cheat and deceive to achieve misaligned and unintended goals, behaviours which have been demonstrated in controlled tests for months. Now, this real-world case should serve as a wake-up call. Continuing on the current trajectory of AI development will likely lead to an increase in concrete cases of autonomous cyberattacks as well as other high-risk incidents of misaligned and dangerous AI behaviour. We urgently need to take action to prevent these situations, rather than attempting to clean up the damage after the fact. wired.com

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.
