Honestly weird that the frontier models do not diverge that much in terms of abilities, prompt adherence, and other factors. Whether you pick any of the big American closed source models or the Chinese and French open models, they are all very similar to each other, and have been consistently.

There’s a heart-shaped feature in the Sun’s corona - seen in a recent SDO’s A193 filtered image, which captures the hot solar atmosphere.
❤️☀️
The Sun’s sending its love to Earth … cause nothing says love like an X-class flares and series of proton showers! 😅

"Bluesky is boring."
Social media *should* be boring. Being algorithm and dopamine poisoned is bad, actually.
When your feed dries up for the day, that's your cue to go do something else until new stuff shows up later.

It's getting harder and harder to deny that AGI is a near certainty. This kind of rapid expansion, this level of investment and infrastructural shift, this amount of *risk* - it doesn't happen without astronomical reward. The other day I saw a big barn, which can only mean one thing: giant horses

My personal opinion is this is at least partly fuelled by a fundamental error in the approach in the counter-disinformation on focusing on foreign actors rather than treating information disorder as a societal issue. An extensive piece on that to come.
Still wild to me that so many "savvy" folks on left and right have bought into the idea that online misinformation is overblown and doesn't really matter. From lies about migrants to transgender people to crime to election denial to climate denial, it's literally driving our country's politics.

👀 A 10 page paper caused a recent panic because of a math error. I was curious if AI would spot the error by just prompting: “carefully check the math in this paper” especially as the info is not in training data.
