yesterday, Mistral AI's website said "Committing to open models."
today, that text is gone. hmmm
Community note
While this was true when the tweet was posted, this is not the case anymore. The text "Committing to open models" is back on Mistral's website.

hardest thing to explain to people is that "coding" involves lots of just letting your brain cook which suspiciously looks a lot like not doing shit or taking a nap

Started reading the new MegaByte architecture paper from Meta and holy crap. I haven’t been this excited since Gato.
It’s superior to autoregressive transformers because it is inherently multimodal, is tokenization-free and is much faster at generation.

A Y-Combinator backed company named Double is offering a waitlist for a GPT-5-powered coding assistant "available for early access later this year". Sam Altman is closely tied to YC. It's unclear what the direct connection to OpenAI is though.

i feel like meaning is deteriorating, like wtf are we all doing. like i can hear the bustle of the city outside my window, with seemingly the entire world unaware of what's about to happen.
how do you make long term plans right now?

although i disagree with kant's assertion that we have no moral obligations to animals, he did believe that we should be kind to them because of the effects the expression of cruelty has on us as individuals. i can intuit that argument when i see robots and chatbots being abused.

From Business Insider: "It's really good, like materially better," said one CEO who recently saw a version of GPT-5.

Squid and octopuses are super intelligent cephalopods demonstrating complex behaviors like problem solving.
At Sea Star Aquarium in Germany, Otto the octopus was trained to squirt water at visitors. He used this skill to short-circuit a lamp above his tank that bothered him.
squid is so slept on
1. it’s absurdly protein dense (25 grams per 100 calories)
2. it can’t be farmed
3. it’s ridiculously cheap
4. tastes amazing cooked simply. just drizzle with olive oil and lemon

It “selectively kills cancer cells” and “suppresses tumor growth… without discernible side effects.”

"intellectually dishonest", "super-hyped", "megalomaniac", "self-dealing", a resume with holes a "mile deep". This is how some insiders describe Sam Altman as OpenAI begins to work on raising a fresh funding round of $100 billion in preparation for AGI.

that thing they say about how dogs and their humans horizontally-transfer personality traits seems to be true in our case. for example, having our puppy around has made me more playfully doting while the puppy is much more aware about the social and economic implications of AGI

there's an attack vector against LLM's where a page accessed by the model injects instructions to render an image with the user's private data in an HTTP or query parameter. supposedly, chatgpt is vulnerable to this due to lax content-security policy. Bard and Bing are unaffected

Pray, did you venture into the pit of spheres? I find it a place of merriment. On my last visit to the house of McDonald, I did eat to excess. Upon entering the pit for some sport my belly was sore vexed. I was taken with a sudden purge, which did foul the repository for shoes.

Over the next decade, the productivity gains from AI will be so massive that they will become the keys to substantially reducing extreme suffering across the world.
To abandon our position, now, as proponents of technological acceleration, is to condemn billions more to death.

there's literally jobs where all you do all day is read boxes and boxes of dense documents. 10 million tokens is about 100 full sized novels. add perfect recall to that and the potential consequences of Gemini 1.5 are clearly staggering.
the use case for this is incredible, you can upload discovery packages into this thing and ask it to find what you want.
