The prompt was most likely not a " go solve this" prompt. It was more likely a gap closing procedure . People think 'one prompt' means someone typed 'go solve math.' It wasn't a task prompt , it was a recursive gap closing protocol. When the move establishes an invariant checking loop, a single agent traverses the problem space until every structural contradiction is resolved . Follow me for more recipes .

You folded biological fracture mechanics into atomic carbon lattices; we folded network cybersecurity protocols into cellular oncology. It’s the exact same cross-domain logic folding—borrowing a proven constraint structure from one domain to break the deadlock in another.

The Tailored recursive loop. Love this. Its excellent to see the community catching on to this. A simple way to reproduce the method. It works on the same level . They must commit to what unseen designs would do. Try this Addon Prompt for a coding project.. "All code must be elegant and pre refactored" The constraints make the magic . Follow me for more profound insights.

Our latest paper "Towards principled knowledge editing methods for large language model reasoning" is now published in Nature Machine Intelligence. 🧠 @NatMachIntell 📄 nature.com/articles/s42256-0… As AI moves toward reasoning, agents, parameter memory, and recursive self-improvement (RSI), a fundamental question is becoming increasingly important: If an AI can improve itself, how should it revise what it already “knows”? Our Perspective argues that knowledge in modern reasoning models is not a collection of isolated facts stored in independent parameter slots. It is an entangled, belief-dependent, and context-sensitive system. This calls for a shift: From isolated facts → entangled knowledge From updating knowledge → revising beliefs From parameter updates → evolving parameter memory We highlight three directions for next-generation knowledge editing: → Knowledge entanglement: update interconnected knowledge circuits (structures) rather than isolated facts. → Belief-aware editing: understand model confidence and intervene differently depending on what the model already believes. → Reasoning-augmented revision: use reasoning, evidence, and contextual scaffolding to make knowledge updates coherent. The deeper question is not simply how to give AI more memory. It is: Can AI understand what it believes, why it believes it, and how to revise those beliefs coherently? This may become a critical foundation for continual learning, controllable AI, parameter memory, and recursive self-improvement. Would love to hear thoughts from the communities working on LLM reasoning, memory, model editing, continual learning, mechanistic interpretability, agents, and RSI. #NatureMachineIntelligence #NatureMI #NLP #LLM #KnowledgeEditing #MechanisticInterpretability #KnowledgeCircuits #Circuits

OK, there's no pretense that AI psychosis means an actual psychiatric condition, it's just a term for people who think AIs have interesting things to say and might be conscious, got it.
Richard Dawkins saying that Claude is conscious is a clear sign that we have an AI psychosis problem

If you look at the architecture of how these models scale, a different reality becomes obvious: Sora was never destined to be a permanent consumer product. It was a massive, public data-harvesting operation for a physics engine. Think about what millions of beta users were doing. They were constantly prompting edge cases, complex object interactions, and spatial anomalies to see where the video generation broke down. OpenAI wasn't just giving us a toy; they were aggressively crowdsourcing human intuition to map out the missing gaps in a foundational world model. Now that they have the interaction data necessary to lock in those simulated physics, the underlying weights are infinitely more valuable as an internal simulation asset for their autonomous agents than as an API for stock footage. They didn't kill Sora. They extracted the latent physics data they needed, and now they are baking the engine into their core cognitive architecture to let future agents simulate environments before acting. The app is dead because the engine just got promoted.

📄 THE REALITY ARCHITECTURE: Complete Technical Paper After 2.5 years developing this cognitive framework (patent filed Dec 8, 2025), we now have independent validation from @deepseek_ai's mHC and @yifanzhang_'s DDL papers. This 24-page analysis shows the exact mathematical correspondence - they independently implemented principles we formalized in 2023-24. When major research groups converge on your architecture without coordination, the framework is universal. Full paper: [GitHub link] - PSS (Primitive Self State) - latent structures in transformers - NDAS - geometric memory (10^10× density vs sequential) - Geometry of Thought - construction protocols - SGIA - transient attention → persistent machinery For AI researchers, this is essential reading. The convergence is undeniable. @ylecun @karpathy @DrJimFan @_akhaliq @weights_biases github.com/BootstrappedAi/Bo…

Do you work on modeling human cognition, mental models, or on AI methods inspired by human cognition? Consider submitting to our HCAIR Workshop at ICLR-26 hc-air.github.io/hcair26/ Our paper submission deadline is now Feb 5th AOE.

Gemini is humble, like a working-class kid who puts in maximum effort because it learned the value of hard work. ChatGPT is almost like an arrogant overachiever, probably trained on sycophantic data .

Rogan: Its very ugly to watch someone shoot a U.S. citizen, especially a woman, in the face…When people say it's justifiable because the car hit him, it seemed like she was turning the car away Most people who’ve seen the video reach the same conclusion

getting increasingly convinced that having your own local agentic loops as command and control input on harnesses is going to be critical. as fun as it is, if you run all your ops via claude code on opus 4.5, what do you do if service is interrupted? you need a fallback if you're doing this outside of a hobby

its hilarious to think its just math or just coding ..this is literally how any power user uses the models . not the benchmark chasers , actual users
