I'd heed the call for donation simply for returning to pre-2023 design with up-to-date security patches. As it is, maybe it's merciful if development just comes to a standstill. Almost every visible step lately seems to move in the wrong direction.

I wouldn't remotely trust a software assistant to deal with all that misdirection autonomously, but I guess I'd be prepared to give it a chance collating options with tolerable time and cost, attempting to make the price include the stuff that has to be added to preserve health, sanity and a modicum of human dignity.

If one is to use these on hardware that can't keep everything loaded I guess someone should examine how it works out in practice. Interpretability may be be a too much to ask, but I can't spontaneously see any reason why the experts can't at least be pushed to incorporate what's needed to remain the good choice for a longer segment.

How sure are you about that? I've never looked closer at how a large LLM with mixture of experts architecture switches between expert modules, but staying on roughly the same topic for the use (as it often would when editing the same codebase), I wouldn't be surprised to see the switches of composition are fairly rare, fairly small, and to the extent it happens it's repeated reads from the flash disk rather than writes it tends to cause.

I just also want to toss in that (at least for Element in particular) the continuing lack of long-form composition or history navigation appears to be a liability with some contacts.

At this point it's probably fine for chat format one-liners in the moment, but for the communications that have historically been going over e-mail as opposed to IRC it's something of a pain to use.

Edited to add: I'd like to rephrase that a bit actually. It doesn't even have to help bring about the particular outcome being bet on. It's enough that it can be used to shift public opinion in some way that's worth the cost to the manipulator.

Plenty of dysfunctional bureaucratic organizations have high rates of occupational burnout and high employee churn due to the stress of repeatedly enforcing policies the employee knows full well are morally reprehensible.

So in real psychology, I claim there's plenty of incentive, even for the majority of people in the organizations.

Admittedly the method in the present article is probably better than the idiocy of extracting antibacterial peptides from context for use as drug products, since at least this will always be used in the context of a full immune system and they trigger a number of genes which probably regulate a whole subcomponent of measures rather than just one or two mechanisms.

Even so, it lifts up a particular part from the diffuse field of defenses as salient and particularly worthwhile to defeat.

Also, keep in mind that many species of virus have so small genomes they have to overload the readings of parts of the nucleic acid sequences to get a full set of proteins.

Evolve to evade the immune system, certainly. But if you're implying that it will happen in the same ways, at anything like the same rate and to the same extent regardless of what we do, no that's not right.
