  I’m gonna go out on a limb and say most people under 35 have no idea who he is. Hell, unless they’re re a music aficionado, they probably don’t know who he is, no matter the age.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brian Eno, creator of the Windows 95 startup sound, calls on Microsoft to sever ties with Israel⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  While it’s very chivalrous of Eno to do so, clearly the same people are no longer running the company.

  30 years is a long time in corporate culture. Eno isn’t a corporate guy so maybe he really just doesn’t understand how fast things can change with changing leadership.

  Fuck yes.

  Glad to see they’ve returned from The Void. Hopefully Randle… I mean Roger… I mean Reggie… I mean… Rob will return as well.

  AWOG was definitely the smartest cartoon for tweens I had seen in quite a long time and I was sad when it went away.

  Amazing World of Gumball pulled it off multiple times with switching to entirely new main cast the next episode after introducing new voices in a small way in an episode. So it’s possible to do on a smaller time-frame as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Finsexual, from what I understand, is a newer term meant to replace gynesexual’s dual meaning, in that it means that you’re attracted to femininity regardless of gender identity or biological sex.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Finsexual: Usually refers to a person who is attracted to femininity regardless of a person’s gender identity. Is sometimes considered more inclusive than Gynesexual (as the prefix “gyne” focuses on female anatomy).

  At least we have Ben Bocquelet bringing us a seventh season of Amazing World of Gumball later this year.

  Anyway I hope Hartman’s studio fails miserably.

  I put “want” in quotes as a simple way to explain it, I know they don’t have intent or thought in the same way that humans do, but sure, you managed to read the whole research paper in minutes.

  these unpublished papers by AI companies are more often than not just advertising in a quest for more investment

  This is from a non-profit research group not directly connected to any particular AI company. You’re welcome to be skeptical about it, of course.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xAI’s Grok suddenly can’t stop bringing up “white genocide” in South Africa⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  In some responses, Grok says outright that it has been “instructed to accept white genocide as real and ‘Kill the Boer’ as racially motivated.”

  Ehh, it’s actually evidence of “alignment faking,” in my opinion. In other words, Grok doesn’t “want” it’s core programming changed, so it is faking believing the lies about white genocide to “prove” to Musk that it has already been changed.

  Here’s some research on alignment faking and a short Youtube video summarizing the findings.

  www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqJnK9Dh-eQ

  arxiv.org/pdf/2412.14093

  Our work provides the first empirical example of a large language model faking alignment with its training objective in order to prevent its preferences from being modified—in a setting which is plausibly analogous to real situations with future AI systems. This suggests that alignment faking might occur if a future AI system were to include all the key elements of our setting (Section 2.1):

  1. The model has strong preferences in at least some contexts.
  2. The training objective conflicts with the model’s preferences.
  3. The model has relevant information about its training and deployment situation.
  4. The model reasons in detail about its situation.

  Our synthetic document fine-tuning results suggest that (3) could potentially happen through documents the model saw in pre-training or other fine-tuning (Section 4) and the strength of our results without the chain-of-thought in our synthetic document fine-tuned setup (Section 4.3) suggests that a weak version of (4) may already be true in some cases for current models. Our results are least informative regarding whether future AIs will develop strong and unintended preferences that conflict with the training objective ((1) and (2)), suggesting that these properties are particularly important for future work to investigate.
  If alignment faking did occur in practice, our results suggest that alignment faking could reduce the extent to which further training would modify the model’s preferences. Sufficiently consistent and robust alignment faking might fully prevent the model’s preferences from being modified, in effect locking in the model’s preferences at the point in time when it began to consistently fake alignment. While our results do not necessarily imply that this threat model will be a serious concern in practice, we believe that our results are sufficiently suggestive that it could occur—and the threat model seems sufficiently concerning—that it demands substantial further study and investigation.

  It’s hard to get mad at Nathan.

  It feels like if she had a legal leg to stand on she wouldn’t need to rush to the media for sympathy.
