To all the "we know how LLMs work and therefore X" folks - understanding attention and gradient descent doesn't tell you stuff like this. On at least some level we *don't* know how LLMs actually do their thing and are slowly figuring out even just extremely simple things like addition.
We did not tell LLMs, “implement addition using this algorithm.” It learned the algorithm upstream of next-token prediction

The obvious correct answer to “is it conscious” is “we don’t know.” This is also the correct answer for a chair, or a piece of glass. We don’t have a test for consciousness.

It'd be cool if atproto could connect git providers. I like that Github provides me a unified place to see what's happening in opensource, but I don't like being tied to it. Various self-hosted gitlabs are too scattered. Could the latter be connected with something like atproto?

I get the impression that humans systematically underestimate the complexity of the world and that this is the main reason long term tech predictions often fail. It's not that the predictions of how the tech will look like is wrong, it's that they're still insufficient for the world complexity

The best method I've found to minimize distraction from websites like reddit, instagram, etc is having a second (e.g. old) phone with all (and only) the addictive apps. This phone would sit on some not-too-easy-to-reach shelf at home for occasional access. It works better than blocking the apps.
