Quick Q, from where does the weird term “abliteration” come from? I’ve seen it used for “jailbroken” GenAI models.

They’re referencing the meme that an uncontrolled AI will inevitably kill every last human being, for reasons.

came here to post that. Genuinely having to reconsider being an active user there now

Unconfirmed rumor says that a Swedish streaming service had to postpone the premiere of a new game show season because an “AI agent” deleted the completed cut of the show.

The streaming service (TV4) says it’s a “technical issue” (the Swedish term “haveri” is used for everything from a computer system crash to an airplane crash).

so wait, the slop-slingers weren’t actually decompiling Adobe code (which would be more efficient, if possibly illegal), they just looked at the interface and asked Claude to replicate what they saw???

Sama is a serial scammer, this is just the biggest scam he’s managed to foster. He’ll say whatever it takes to get the payout.

Dario is a true believer but I also think the prospect of $billions skews his judgement

Looks like a Stanford philosophy professor either didn’t get invited to the orgies, or had a bad time, and took out his frustration by writing an op-ed in The Economist decrying the EAs for caring more about shrimp than people.

An outraged green-leaf LWer took to the substacks to attack him, saying he cares less about shrimp than people.

Good luck finding a recently updated map LOL

Also, I often drive alone, and when I have a passenger she’s literally blind and isn’t helpful for map reading.

I already disliked the original [Harry Potter] for its lack of rationality as a child (how can they have magic and poverty at the same time?) so I loved the flip.

OK so does HPMOR solve poverty? (Q is rhetorical don’t answer)

If you didn’t like HP check out Grossman’s The Magicians. A lot of graduating magicians there join non-profits or hedge funds.
