that’s a romantic way of describing a softmax over the vocabulary… it’s just a joint probability, it’s not multiple futures because if you increase the temperature enough many of those sentences become nonsensical and not anything anyone would even say.

some kids that age are sexually active, I think that’s normal for some percent of teens—but they are learning with other kids their age, at a similar level of social-emotional development.

it’s being trafficked to men aged 30 — 60+ that’s the heinous and statutory rape part in all of this.

promoting a meme coin is “left-coded”?

I view crypto as a libertarian/right wing ecosystem. Look at all the Pepe coins and general Rogan/Trump personalities in that space. Web3 was extremely anti-Harris in 2024, because Trump was going to “save their coins”.

the internet and media of the last decade has created a hyperreality untethered from the ground truth

they haven't lost their minds as much as they are ensconced in a hypereality of infinitely permutable signs, where any media can be configured to affirm existing beliefs

it's like the matrix

chasing evals leads to overfitting, which ime results in better test metrics but poor general performance.

Ok! Let’s train on every possible permutation of every Olympiad question to game the brittleness of LLMs.

but any Olympiad questions outside this distribution it will fail spectacularly on.

similar to a thought I've had, which is that generative AI is mostly a thing for producing media for amusement by the prompter, but often, nobody else seems to care about the generated media.
