I might have feature extraction finished by the end of the day. POC is working, but with weird results. #wetclaude

Been thinking about the anthropic paper recently. I want to reproduce it. Looks to be relatively simple with transformer_lens. Should be able to run it on my Strix Halo with its 96gb vram. I think I can pull it off. Wonder if I can implement it in AgentForge... Give me a couple weeks.

Theory of Mind isn't just about other minds, it's about systems. It starts simple, with a ball rolling down stairs, then gets more complex. Does the werewolf want to eat me, or fuck me?

If notebookLM is good for one thing, it's telling you how bad you fucked up your paper. This thing is making associations between parts of my paper it definitely should not, and now I have to reread everything to figure out why.

Prepping for a hackathon tomorrow. Objective to stress test a model host. Though, with these stats, I think their servers need to be on Xanax.

Anyone have any experience with LLMs contradicting KB loaded into the context window? Looking for experience from any model on any topic. Or examples where you expected contradiction but it didn't happen!

The problem with solipsism is that it is apart from that which is other. When you perceive the mind as a participant, rather than a creator, you become a part instead of apart.

I think Genie 3 is a Titans model. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekgv... In this interview, they talk about the model having "Notions of Interestingness". That's almost word for word out of the Titans paper.
