As I understand it, CLIP (and other text encoders in diffusion models) aren’t trained like LLMs, exactly. They’re trained on image/text pairing, which ya get from the metadata creators upload with their photos in Adobe Stock. That said, Adobe hasn’t published their entire architecture.

Here’s 60 Minutes’s piece from last month about the vending machine in Anthropic’s office.

That was all part of the idea, though, because Anthropic had designed this test as a stress test to begin with. Previous runs in their own office had indicated similar concerns.

The Firefly image generator is a diffusion model, and the Firefly video generator is a diffusion transformer. LLMs aren’t involved in either process. I believe there are some ChatGPT integrations with Reader and Acrobat, but that’s unrelated to Firefly.

Adobe’s image generator (Firefly) is trained only on images from Adobe Stock.

Coincidentally, this paper published yesterday indicates that LLMs are worse at coding the closer you get to the low level like assembly or binary. Or more precisely, ya stop seeing improvements pretty early on in scaling up the models. If I’m reading it right, which I’m probably not.

There are AI’s that are ethically trained. There are AI’s that run on local hardware. We’ll eventually need AI ratings to distinguish use types, I suppose.

Yup! Certifying a workflow as AI-free would be a monumental task now. First, you’d have to designate exactly what kinds of AI you mean, which is a harder task than I think people realize. Then, you’d have to identify every instance of that kind of AI in every tool you might use. And just looking at Adobe, there’s a lot. Then you, what, forbid your team from using them, sure, but how do you monitor that? Ya can’t uninstall generative fill from Photoshop. Anyway, that’s why anything with a complicated design process marked “AI-Free” is going to be the equivalent of greenwashing, at least for a while. But they should be able to prevent obvious slop from being in the final product just in regular testing.

The game is Codex Mortis (Steam).
“It’s pure TypeScript. I use PIXI.js for rendering, bitECS for the entity-component-system backend, and Electron to wrap it as a desktop app,” Crunchfest3 wrote. “The whole thing was vibe-coded with Claude Code (mostly Opus 4.1 and 4.5).” The art, meanwhile, was generated by ChatGPT, and the game’s animations “are a shader written by Claude Code.”

Ctrl+f "attractor state" to find the section. They named it "spiritual bliss."

DeepMind keeps trying to build a model architecture that can continue to learn after training, first with the Titans paper and most recently with Nested Learning. It's promising research, but they have yet to scale their "HOPE" model to larger sizes. And with as much incentive as there is to hype this stuff, I'll believe it when I see it.

Everyone seems to be tracking on the causes of similarity in training sets (and that’s the main reason), so I’ll offer a couple of other factors. System prompts use similar sections for post-training alignment. Once something has proven useful, some version of it ends up in every model’s system prompt.
Another possibility is that there are features of the semantic space of language itself that act as attractors. They demonstrated and poorly named an ontological attractor state in the Claude model card that is commonly reported in other models.

I’m confused by the matte out. Is it to anonymize the ring? Something written on it, maybe?
- Comment on The Guy Claiming That You Have TDS 1 month ago:
I ruminate on this from time to time. I'm not particularly well read on these things, but this is the closest I've managed to make sense of it: For whatever reason (and there be many), the trumpite has embraced denigrating others is an acceptable way to soothe the ego. Albeit unhealthy, this kind of projection/displacement is by no means an uncommon trait in any demographic. Though it seems to be more common in groups that highly value hierarchy (as the Right typically does). On its own, utilizing this as a motivating force yields diminishing returns as shame or just boredom creep in. And so the aspiring demagogue hitches denigration to anger, goads projection with scapegoating, and ultimately harnesses hate to do evil.
But this takes time. Trump didn't skip all the way to invading cities and tearing down a third of the White House on day one. Trumpites have been lead gradually by these mechanisms and a host of complimentary social tactics to do more and more shameful things. And in doing, their egos are resiliently bridled to Trump's. To turn against him now would mean facing feelings of abject humiliation and shame/guilt, and in some cases a complete reset of their personal identity. Most people aren't willing to do that until they encounter tragic and very personal consequences. So they persist in delusion, which comes naturally to parts of the religious demographics... but that's a whole other can of worms.

- Comment on OpenAI Says Hundreds of Thousands of ChatGPT Users May Show Signs of Manic or Psychotic Crisis Every Week 1 month ago:
Yeah, there’s no real data for “show signs of manic or psychotic crisis,” as far as I can tell. I just went for the low-hanging fruit, since mania is often part of bipolar (manic-depressive). But if just bipolar is sitting at 2.8% of Americans in a given year, I think it’s reasonable to say the loosely defined stats in the headline aren’t notably high.
