New "boundary point jailbreaking" method against LLM safeguards (with prior disclosure to multiple labs) by using noised versions of harmful queries to turn sparse feedback from failed attacks into dense feedback. 🧵

Waymo and Anthropic are two AI companies people here should reward, regardless of their feelings about AI as a whole or the respective companies. Waymo has, for years, incrementally plugged away at making a technology work. Out of the public eye, without any big flashy demos
whatever you think about Waymo they are light-years ahead of Tesla on this front and it is deeply infuriating that folks are still propping up the stock price based on Elon's lies about taking this stuff national

Annals of books I own that the internet convinces me to really read in detail.
A chunk of it is summarized in Ruhlman’s book Ratio. Not the scrambled egg side but the flour goods part for sure.

A blizzard thunderstorm in the mountains is surreal. The light turns dark blue. The trees disappear into it like you're under water. Their branches are bent down misshapen by the snow like the tentacles of some unknown deep sea squid. Then the lighting turns it all purple.

Modern synthetic materials have changed the meta of snowball fights for the worse. The only targets on a person that aren't waterproof are the exposed bits that are considered unsporting to hit.

Me pitching my new start up:
You can place pancakes, crepes, and scrambled eggs on a simplex where the variables are the ratios between milk, eggs, and flour, (with another small axis for baking soda.)
We have explored too little of this manifold. More breakfasts can exist than we have known.

One of the main checks on authoritarianism, rather than any formal power structure, has always been that you need people to do things, and people have their own private morality.
This changes entirely if you only need to convince one model instead of an army or bureaucracy.

This would be a fun challenge to pose to an LLM. Research all existing breakfasts composed primarily of eggs, flour, and milk. Convert their ingredients to grams. Plot them on a simplex using their relative weights.

Food phylogenies are so fun! flatbreads also well traversed. dumplings are my favorite 🥟

Wow, I didn't realize I had this whole thing memorized until prompted.
the descent 2 intro still holds up great as well (especially the music and sound)

There's an analogous phenomenon where everyone across the political spectrum considers the Democrats "the establishment" even when they are completely powerless.
This the skeleton key that explains the entire left-of-center political and informational environment. There is no social reward for ever saying anything nice about a mainline Democrat, so no one does. As a result, baseless antipathy towards the party completely pervades the environment.

The analogy between "AI denial" and climate denial is spot on. In both cases you can show someone a graph of an astonishing trend, and people will not just doubt that the trend will continue, they doubt the current verifiable state of the world.

The left is missing out on AI
As a movement, it has largely refused to engage seriously with AI, ceding debate about a threat and opportunity to the right

This explains who they yell at online. I don't get why it also explains how they vote.
The ideological purity signalling incentives for leftists require them to put more energy into distancing themselves from liberals, their outgroup, who they actually encounter and might be mistaken for, rather than MAGA, the abstract seeming fargroup who rarely appears in their filter bubbles
