FYI, "be the change you want to see" is approximately the golden rule "do unto others". If you want less ego in the world, demonstrate it yourself. It does not mean "complain about how other people act".

This research process is the same as what I've been doing.

Claude does the research, like having an army of very fast but forgetful grad students working for free.

The individual paper doesn't make much incremental improvement but once you get a pipeline of results building in a particular direction it's powerful.

So many words to say "it predicts the later tokens in light of those already emitted."

Literally nothing about her purple hair and her outfit is goth in any way shape or form so it's interesting that people are latching onto that.

That's why all the code in my project is generated from the "prompts" (actually just regular block comments + references) and so all of that is checked in.

What makes you think that caring about the wellbeing of one kind of entity is incompatible with caring about another kind?

Instead, of, you know, probably highly correlated just like it is with animals.

No, an LLM isn't a human and doesn't deserve human rights.

No, it isn't unreasonable to broaden your perspective on what is a thinking (or feeling) being and what can experience some kinds of states that we can characterize in this way.

If you replace Claude with a person you'll see that the Constitution was right, GPT was idiotically wrong, and you were fooled by AI slop + confirmation bias.
