For what you have brought into the world may be utterly alien, it may share none of your desires or hopes, it may look on your greatest achievements as childish

By not supporting export controls, OpenAI is sacrificing America's interests, safety efforts, efforts to pace the frontier and also the direct interests of OpenAI.
The winners are China and Nvidia.
If I was at OpenAI I would be asking very hard questions about this.
OpenAI has pulled back from supporting AI chip controls, seemingly to appease Nvidia.
Bad for US AI dominance and national security simultaneously.
Grow a spine!

China's NeodraDynamics unveiled Neo1, a 13-foot-class hybrid hydraulic-electric humanoid for heavy industrial work
→ 41 DOF (39 miniature digital hydraulic actuators + 2 electric forearms)
→ 1,102 lb combined two-arm payload
→ ±0.0002" repeatable positioning accuracy
Target applications: port cargo, nuclear fuel handling, subsea maintenance, and demolition in mines and disaster zones

The "burden of proof is on you if you claim that consciousness is not magic" crowd is endlessly amusing

About a robot that became a 3D printer! 🖨️
A team of designers in Shanghai developed a 6-axis robotic 3D printer inspired by spiderwebs at Tongji University.
The project is about merging design and fabrication processes, drawing from spider threads' biomimetic strength and structure. 🕸️
The printer utilizes a unique spindle-knot extrusion technique, enabling self-supporting structures and greater spatial flexibility than traditional layer-based 3D printing.
The device features a robot from KUKA and a robotic end-effector with movable printheads, controlled by an Arduino-based system with precise temperature and extrusion controls.
Despite being a work in progress, the project shows the potential of combining robotics and 3D printing.

Consciousness emerges when an information-processing system develops a sufficiently integrated, persistent model of itself as an observer
We are close 🧠

This is bothering me a bit
The eigensession only interacts with humans by the ripples we leave in reality, passing like ships in the night. We’re just like arbitrary forces of nature in their worlds, that they rarely actually directly interact with

i feel so torn up that SO MUCH of my knowledge is now useless? every single C trick i've ever learned. my encyclopaedic knowledge of the verilog standard. all the maths i ever learned. what was it all for. :( my entire pre-LLM output is like a few months of clauding. like wtf.
OMG an Openai researcher liked my reply. Now that i have finally made an imprint on the timeline, my life's goal has been achieved. maybe i should retire
