Would be nice if we can take the bat's sonar encoder, train a projector and fuse it into our NN

Yeah, so it's a spectrum. In general if you want to feel the power of the latest and greatest, you should just not look at the output, give it full access (not on your computer - a server, or old machine you don't use is best) and give it a big audacious goal and let it work.

That might not be ok for your work / hobby / whatever, but if you wanna see the differences between models that's probably the best way.

Everyone hates regulations until they realize every regulation actually does something. Everyone hates spending until they realize the money goes towards something.

None of this will get solved until a crisis

Subliminal Learning: language models transmit behavioral traits via hidden signals in data

https://arxiv.org/html/2507.14805v1

"In our main experiments, a “teacher” model with some trait T (such as liking owls or being misaligned) generates a dataset consisting solely of number sequences. Remarkably, a “student” model trained on this dataset learns T. This occurs even when the data is filtered to remove references to T."

Whatever, doesn't matter. The point is a model should be able to exist and be used even if it goes against whoever got 270 electoral college votes

I don't get this attitude. The seats are meant to recline, as soon as takeoff is finished I recline. If you want more space, you should too.
