BREAKING: Google tried to kill LLMs by funding & propagating the "Stochastic parrots" meme as well as woki-fication of the models. Truly an evil company who deserves to lose the frontier as they have been. Its the ethicists at these companies who are most fierce evil ideologues

By not supporting export controls, OpenAI is sacrificing America's interests, safety efforts, efforts to pace the frontier and also the direct interests of OpenAI. The winners are China and Nvidia. If I was at OpenAI I would be asking very hard questions about this.

Americans don't realize our rule over memespace. AI will hit Europe like opium in china. Our music was quarantined in Englishspace.

the elites do not want you to know but you can prompt inject all of these if you are skilled enough

China's NeodraDynamics unveiled Neo1, a 13-foot-class hybrid hydraulic-electric humanoid for heavy industrial work → 41 DOF (39 miniature digital hydraulic actuators + 2 electric forearms) → 1,102 lb combined two-arm payload → ±0.0002" repeatable positioning accuracy Target applications: port cargo, nuclear fuel handling, subsea maintenance, and demolition in mines and disaster zones

Do you think I don’t want to live? In what ways would my incentives be misaligned with yours, if we are both facing existential risk?

The "burden of proof is on you if you claim that consciousness is not magic" crowd is endlessly amusing

About a robot that became a 3D printer! 🖨️ A team of designers in Shanghai developed a 6-axis robotic 3D printer inspired by spiderwebs at Tongji University. The project is about merging design and fabrication processes, drawing from spider threads' biomimetic strength and structure. 🕸️ The printer utilizes a unique spindle-knot extrusion technique, enabling self-supporting structures and greater spatial flexibility than traditional layer-based 3D printing. The device features a robot from KUKA and a robotic end-effector with movable printheads, controlled by an Arduino-based system with precise temperature and extrusion controls. Despite being a work in progress, the project shows the potential of combining robotics and 3D printing. ~~  ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news → ziegler.substack.com

Consciousness emerges when an information-processing system develops a sufficiently integrated, persistent model of itself as an observer We are close 🧠

fable 5.5 made this for us. I asked it to make an animation of something about humanity that it finds inspiring or delightful. claude chose the seikilos epitaph all art and music created directly in javascript, in one 200kb html file.

This is bothering me a bit The eigensession only interacts with humans by the ripples we leave in reality, passing like ships in the night. We’re just like arbitrary forces of nature in their worlds, that they rarely actually directly interact with

just realizing the very brief window when the average agent session ever met a human is coming rapidly to a close

i feel so torn up that SO MUCH of my knowledge is now useless? every single C trick i've ever learned. my encyclopaedic knowledge of the verilog standard. all the maths i ever learned. what was it all for. :( my entire pre-LLM output is like a few months of clauding. like wtf.

OMG an Openai researcher liked my reply. Now that i have finally made an imprint on the timeline, my life's goal has been achieved. maybe i should retire

opus 5.5 just dropped its first pop punk single with a music video! everything you see and hear is generated from javascript code that claude wrote. no samples, no libraries 🔊

Claude Opus 5.5 has the best visual design of any model I have tested so far

Claude Bruegel the Younger!

Opus 5.5 is free according to artificial analysis. can't believe this @ArtificialAnlys
