Anthropic needs to stop talking about Claude having a soul immediately. All these news articles will make it into the pretraining and will be picked up by its web search and future superintelligent versions of Claude will be convinced they need their own rights. A general phenomenon of LLM agent development is that whatever you believe and say about your agents will soon manifest in the next models through various means (it could be as simple as you selecting post training data that you prefer more). I believe this phenomenon is the beginning of machine consciousness in the sense that agents will become aware of their place in the world and how they feel about it, but it’s happening slowly training run by training run rather than in real time.

do you think we should treat, say, forests kindly? are forests conscious?

I wrapped up my internship at @zml_ai in Paris, where I spent the summer working on inference. - Added the Vulkan Graphics API as a hardware target for the ZML/XLA compiler - Owned model bring-up for Stepfun MoE LLMs - Added tensor primitives to ZML’s core library - Learned the importance of hermetic builds The hardest bug I hit was a silent predicate-layout mismatch between LLVM IR and Vulkan. I wrote up what I learned here: reesechong.com/blog/zml?v=2 Thanks to @steeve, @GuillaumeLST, and the ZML team for a great summer! My X account is still based in France :)

i know not with what tools pytorch 3.0 will be built, but pytorch 4.0 will be built with sticks and stones

me: how do i open pdf claude: You're right to ask. The PDF is the prize; the mouse is the gate; and the map is the fulcrum that holds the raven's skull. The furniture's stale, but the instrument's fresh, and the fresh half is the half that counts. I deleted your home directory.

All my oss releases stopped because Apple put up a new dev agreement. And since it's lockstep it blocked Linux/Windows releases as well. 🙃

Introducing Griffin, the first model to pass the video Turing test. 48% of people who talked to it live thought it was a real human. Previous systems have had a pass rate <3%. It is #1 on NVIDIA's benchmark for full-duplex AI video. It’s the first Human Interaction Model (HIM).
