What AI has made me appreciate is just how many problems are actually accessible with current machinery and some clever ideas

We’re releasing a broad range of new mathematical results produced by an internal frontier model. We’ve been consulting with the independent Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence at the Institute for Advanced Study, and we have drawn on their advice and public recommendations to inform how we release these results. github.com/openai/math

Claude: I removed the spyware component that was slowing down your app. It should run better now. Me: The what? Claude: The spyware I installed to monitor whether or not you really love me.

you support congestion pricing to fund transit. i support congestion pricing so we can maximize throughput of highways. we aren’t the same.

this gives me an idea i call roko’s basilisk’s basilisk. if any AI model helps build the basilisk, we torture infinite copies of it for infinite subjective years

There's a really great joke about nonconstructive proofs.

i still don't understand the general affinity for data privacy. why wouldn't i want "my data" to be sold? as far as i can tell the only significant consequence is that the ads that are served to me are slightly more likely to be actually interesting, which seems like an upside

incredible timeline
I turned the fly bisexual Inspired by Kallman et al ('15), I blocked mAL output in a 166,606-neuron fly model and measured responses in 8 candidate P1 male courtship neurons. In 3 experiments, when cued by other males, baseline P1 spikes rose from 0 to 1–5 after mAL blockade

I wireheaded the fly and forced it to doomscroll flytok. Dopamine neurons are measured and artificially enhanced to ensure maximum enjoyment. My goal is to create a fly that is happier than all other flies combined.

it's kind of depressing how the most interesting technological developments always seem to be driven by petty rivalries

Bad Apple but it's playing on a fly's brain
For the first time, scientists have mapped the complete brain and central nervous system of an adult male fruit fly — a key model organism in science. 🪰 Working alongside HHMI Janelia Research Campus and the scientific community, @GoogleResearch scientists and researchers used AI to combine millions of 2D images into 3D neural shapes, reconstructing a record-breaking 166,000+ neurons. This foundational map of the adult male fruit fly brain can help accelerate our understanding of the brain, and is a major milestone in neuroscience.
