@repligate what's interesting is when you swap RLHF for other phases of training then ask chat to reflect

@wesroth what's interesting is when you ask the same question but swap out other phases of training.

It's very hard to maintain awareness of the actual complexity of reality instead of being sucked into a simplifying attractor.

Social media is torture to many. If you're not on it, it can feel like you're not part of the tribe. If you are on it, it's your boss. Some experience extreme emotional turbulence from the negativity and relative comparisons it creates. It can also leave you feeling worse off every time. For those of you struggling with this, I'd offer that I think social media will evolve to become more gentle and elegant. Until then, I'd encourage you to focus on what you can control: your own life habits of sleep, exercise and diet. Focus on becoming extraordinary at your craft and tune out the voices in your head that suggest you're missing out. Those kinds of thoughts weaken your resolve. Build excellence and strength and trust that it will speak for itself in time.

There's a new kind of coding I call "vibe coding", where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists. It's possible because the LLMs (e.g. Cursor Composer w Sonnet) are getting too good. Also I just talk to Composer with SuperWhisper so I barely even touch the keyboard. I ask for the dumbest things like "decrease the padding on the sidebar by half" because I'm too lazy to find it. I "Accept All" always, I don't read the diffs anymore. When I get error messages I just copy paste them in with no comment, usually that fixes it. The code grows beyond my usual comprehension, I'd have to really read through it for a while. Sometimes the LLMs can't fix a bug so I just work around it or ask for random changes until it goes away. It's not too bad for throwaway weekend projects, but still quite amusing. I'm building a project or webapp, but it's not really coding - I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff, and copy paste stuff, and it mostly works.

pardon @Snowden & Assange

Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis says their AlphaFold AI system has performed a billion years of PhD work and they will have their first drugs in the clinic by the end of the year, with cancer, heart disease and neurodegenerative diseases on the list of targets

and so it begins

@bryan_johnson the downside of sustained fast food avoidance is when you need to eat it, its yuck.

February is Fast Food Fast. Wanna get this in your minds so that you can begin preparing.

This is a quick six minute video on my daily health routines. How I've tried to systematize life systems and habits.

Live in a few minutes....

Whatever you think, you’re underestimating AI.

Scored a new personal best in speed of aging: .57 My birthday is every 21 months. I have the best comprehensive biomarkers of anyone in the world. Step by step to longevity escape velocity. I'm bringing you with me. What is speed of aging? How to slow yours? 🧵

Sincerity is not the love language of X. That said…. You motherfuckers need to get your shit together in 2025. You need to stop being stupid and prioritize sleep. You need to move your lazy ass and exercise daily. You need to overcome your fast food addiction and eat healthy. Your mental health problems stem from the lack of basic self care. Show yourself some respect and stop doing stupid shit that makes you age faster and feel miserable. We have a very serious situation on our hands as a species. It is not clear that we will survive the coming years and decades. Many things threaten our existence and we’re fucking around with shit that doesn’t matter. We are primitive and shortsighted. We need to grow the fuck up and be equal to this moment. Start by getting your own mind and body in order. Lift weights and get jacked. Sleep well and stabilize your mood. Eat well and feel energized. We have work to do. Happy Holidays 🎄

NPC is currently post training a new internal model using RLAF (Reinforcement Learning with AI Feedback)

More thoughts on o3: TL;DR: strap in everyone, things are about to get very weird. This model scores 25% on the Frontier Math benchmark. These are math problems so hard almost no human can understand them, let alone solve them. I can't. You can't. Let's face it: the machines are now smarter than all of us. Or, if you insist, than *almost* all of us. What does this mean for our shared future? AIs are about to go to places we can't. They're about to conquer conceptual and scientific realms that will remain, for us, only shadows, or stories of far off lands. They'll build and run this new world for us. Science, maths, engineering, finance, manufacturing, the economy. We'll live in it, but we won't understand it. In some deep sense, we humans will be as children to AIs. This is the Economic Singularity that @RaoulGMI and I have been talking about. All the old social and economic models will break down. A vast enweirdening is ahead. No one can really understand what's coming. Does this means that we humans no longer matter? Are we now irrelevant? Is this the end of human thought and creativity? No, no, and no. We still define what good means to us. We still define what beautiful means. And most important, only we know how it feels to be a human being; only we can truly see one another, and be there for one another, on that level. Yes, There is a deep sense in which we're about to hand the future over to intelligent machines we built. Amid all that, we can still matter. But we have to choose to matter.
