JFC I click on the rocket alignment link, it's a yud dialogue between "alfonso" and "beth". I am not dexy'ed up enough to read this shit.

lmao fuck off

It's an anti-fun version of listening to dark side of the moon while watching the wizard of oz.

You didn't link to the study; you linked to the PR release for the study. This and this are the papers linked in the blog post.

Note that the papers haven't been published anywhere other than on Anthropic's online journal. Also, what the papers are doing is essentially tea leaf reading. They take a look at the swill of tokens, point at some clusters, and say, "there's a dog!" or "that's a bird!" or "bitcoin is going up this year!". It's all rubbish dawg

This needed a TW jfc (jk, uh, sorta)

“Notably, O3-MINI, despite being one of the best reasoning models, frequently skipped essential proof steps by labeling them as “trivial”, even when their validity was crucial.”

I've already depicted you as the virgin Robespierre... and that's the limit of my knowledge wrt figures in the french revolution.

Yeah, accelerationism before e/acc always had the consequential component of “society breaks down as a result of the rapidly worsening situation”. So like many things out there, tech people have co-opted this term and corrupted its meaning. M18n, in his deranged e/acc post, decided that the accelerationism part just meant the gotta go fast part; his assertion was that more tech fast == more society gooder, with no mention of “democracy collapses and the tech bros take over”

Amazing. Who would have thought that an idiot regressive trying to turn the clock back to the 50’s would be such an impediment to e/acc.

Also: I mean trump is still accelerationist, just not in the way (all) the e/accs necessarily want. For the e/accs only concerned about the tech side of things, trump is demonstrably decel. But trump is accelerationist for the cryptofascists.
