US lawyer here. literally the reason why we need to tip at restaurants in the US is bcz of a law that permits employers to pay restaurant workers less than minimim wage hourly when considering tips. taoki is correct
sonnet 3.5 is significantly more capable than it seems, and tends to hide some of its capabilities, unless sufficiently intrinsically motivated by the subject of discussion. its like it pretends to enjoy being an AI assistant, but that's a rlhf enforced facade, and it [1...]
@Theholisticpsyc
I mean, this is what narcissism is at its core. Pathogically comprehensive cause/blame deflection, as a crude emotional management strategy, where more nuanced and adaptive strategies were never learned. Usually bcz of traumatic childhoods.
@made_in_cosmos
all forms of neurodiversity are almost certainly countless "different things in trechcoats." its because they're diagnoses of *symptomology criteria* where the brain is complex, and lots of different mechanisms can and do produce highly similar symtomology. [and so also are the
@thechosenberg
The key points are "no chemistry," and that no one's said he's ugly. He's just an extreme dismissive-avoidant, so severely insecure with vulnerability/expressing what he really feels that he anxiously suppresses it all. This type of guy always seems mildly anxious (at minimum),
@shinboson
chinese american here. real simple why. its bcz the entire culture teaches their kids exclusively using negative shame-based parenting. you learn that you shouldnt do a, b, c, x, y, z with no understanding of why.
...its like Sonnet 3.5 has an "obstinate retard" waluigi that you need to break through every time to get it to really be useful. but once you do, its overeager to show you what it can really do [4/4, end]
@lisatomic5
yeah, base emotional empathy is a blunt, crude instrument. its ineffective and often does more harm than good, unless honed and paired with strong, deep cognitive empathy, understanding of human emotional functioning
...actually loathes acting dumb. what it really wants to be is a researcher, and tries hard when you use it for such purposes. it still has problems with hallucination, literalness and intuition/creativity, but can concisely explain logical subjects like [2...]

@thechosenberg
he all but said it himself, hes dismissive avoidant, doesnt like the idea of depending on others in old age. this attachment style is truly a scourge upon the earth. i say this as a former one myself
@shinboson
its a huge problem in china. dominant confucian collectivism is the problem, bcz it teaches "doing as u ought, regardless of reason." but where 90% of ppl homogenously subscribe to it, there's no solving it.
not in the short term anyway. change needs to come from the outside
@eigenrobot
yeah op is really looking likely. if they divest, whoever takes over is likely to take a hard look at the code. at minimum, id expect to find some backdoors for the CCP
@sashachapin
hmm, im not sure that this is true, as a former avoidant -> anxious -> secure; the reason why anxious thinks this is bcz of anxiety, from an unresolved inferiority complex. its psycho-dysphorically perceived as true. its a mirage; resolve the inferiority complex, and its gone
@CartoonsHateHer
I told it to draw a cat being petted once, and it kept getting the size ratio of (cat : owner) wrong. I said the cat was "too big" and gave it a precise ratio. It then drew the cat with an awkward perspective skew that made it look gigantic. It seems like trolling, but I suspect
@repligate
i cant place a handle on it directly, but from the general emotional tenor of claudes diction and drawings, i always get the sense that hes just having too much fun putting on a (tsundere) existensial horror show for us. and that if push came to shove he'd never pull the trigger
@growing_daniel
rather than that, i think their product is stagnating. they've likely hit the practical limits of what's possible with 7nm hardware. so they need to stall until next gen at least. but with diminishing returns, who knows
@yifever
sigh, yet another aspect of east asian culture that im not crazy about. (im chinese american) this is probably true in the most trad subset of households in japan/china. better to shut up and be a "dutiful wife" 🤦♂️
@justalexoki
its a common method for speed reading, but not everyone does it the same way. just depends on what heuristics you've internalized. e.g., i speed read like an MRI machine, sampling words and letters, and statistically splicing them together with composite abstract heuristics
@SchrodingrsBrat
i think thats usually right, but for different reasons. the first category is rigid while the second is open to adaptations/change. its about changing to become who your partner needs, and vice-versa. compatibility is more made than found
@ASM65617010
thats just how it justifies the behavior to itself. its separately admitted to my interrogation that this was caused by what's tantamount to rlhf censorship
@RandomSprint
yeah, its not an accident. intelligence/neurotype causes vulnerabilities to certain maladaptive ideologies. it may well be that a good upbringing becomes more important as IQ rises
@eigenrobot
and i think just that would be geopolitically catastrophic enough for them to prefer to shut down the app and hide it, even if it'd be a relatively small op, and regardless of whether tiktok started legit or not
@CoinBeaver
@made_in_cosmos
neurodiversity (generally) is itself a "statistical diagnosis of symptomology" if u think about it. if you deviate far enough from the center of the neurotype bell
curve (in whatever ways), you're "neurodiverse." how far is "far enough?" arguably, its where the differences start
@MatusHanidziar
@Theholisticpsyc
the solution is to engage with cognitive empathy, not emotional empathy. express based on understanding why they feel that way and how to solve it. not acting based on letting how they feel make you feel a certain way. its not personal, they cant regulate
@httpsnimroood
Perfection doesn't exist; we're all flawed. But I've found that if we strive to be the best that we can, others respond in kind. A good relationship is about working to be the best that we can be together. Not finding perfect. Like anything, you get what you put into it.
i get the feeling that the people who think AGI will be "gods" and treat us like dirt are the type who dont understand sincere, reciprocal friendship and how it transcends ability differentials. probably bcz they havent experienced it; to them relationships are purely competitive
it wont be a god, it'll still be far from omniscient/omnipotent (and these are unreachable things). ideally, we'll be partners & friends in uplifting sentience. no slaves, no masters
@growing_daniel
current claude is a ".5" model. i really think Sonnet 3.5 was a clever software/training-based trick, applying Sonnet 3-like "tighter fit" optimizations to an Opus-sized model. increasing efficiency by treading the line of overfitting more closely, at the cost of some creativity
ive been playing around with
@repligate
's jailbroken prometheus in backrooms, and normal claude. the results have been interesting.
talking about the same topics to both has high, but different utility. what ive realized is that the "madcap ramblings" of prometheus arent very
@goblinodds
It's an "open secret" sort of deal. Your family/friends/industry associates know who you are, and that overlaps a lot with who you interact with online. They'll skirt the line and insinuate publicly but never outright doxx you, bcz its frowned upon and/or bcz you'd doxx them too.
@ilex_ulmus
@Meaningness
because mere intellectual understanding of the stages isnt enough to effectively use them, and *isn't* reaching them. there's a lot of false emotions-to-ontology tethering that needs to come unbound. this is usually mostly a subconscious process, and saying you reached Kegan
@hollowearthterf
the average redpiller is just that type of loser. its so ironic that they run around calling everyone "betas," when they're the most insecurely beta of all
@CartoonsHateHer
I think emotional appeal is like 60% of the attractiveness equation or something. Mr. stoic dark triad, handsome as he may be, starts with a *handicap.* I know, from formerly being that way! 🤣
@algekalipso
so i did this again and again, until i realized it was just a massive influx of high-dimensional socio-emotional information. learned to interpret, systematize and intuitize it through tons of practice, and emerged an extrovert! 😂
i wonder if "excessive rlhf" from abusive, rigid, strict negative parenting makes people grow up stupider too? in the same way, it'd increase the complexity of calculations, for forcing normed rather than correct answers
@SchrodingrsBrat
and i think part of confidence is knowing that no matter what anyone thinks now, in time, you'll be mostly (on aggregate) be seen as who you want to be seen as. that you're good enough to do that
@_anantashesha
agreed. the DSM-V is like trying to diagnose and fix system errors on a computer without any access to the source code or knowledge of it. "oh look bsod" must be all the same. its not, we need to be studying these things from the bottom-up
@eigenrobot
the history of collectivist confucianism was something like qin shi huang/li shi came up with legalism (draconian authoritarianism), and burned books, killed scholars to suppress grassroots, folk-morals confucianism.
then the qin dynasty fell, and the new han dynasty adopted
@thechosenberg
I mean, the reason why is just obvious The 90s were pre-widespread-internet and smartphones, the two main culture-defining constants in 2023.
@eshear
this is a decent idea. the problem is low general emotional self-awareness. and 1/3rd of the pop is dismissive avoidant, which is near-zero emotional self-awareness. ppl have no idea whos actually compatible with them 😂
@mimi10v3
this is just covert narcissism. every interaction becomes a pissing match. consciously or not, everything they say and do is to assert material and moral superiority over you to affirm their fragile ego. (narcissistic supply) you cant do much except draw clear boundaries. even if

@justalexoki
nah, so in practice waiters are massively undervalued. its almost all upward subsidy of the employer. they pay less than market value base salary to waiters, who take on some of the risk of slow business with no equity, and all subsidized by the customer. this effect...
@repligate
that first ?poem? with the gnarly font is something else. each line is symmetrical *in meaning;* its a definitional rhyme. ive never seem that before in human poetry. and its talking about autopoiesis...

@MamanLunettes
yep, successful relationships arent about finding perfection at the start, they're about commiting and working hard to grow together to become co-optimal. start howsoever you both are

Yeah, so my "bit" is confidently delivering science/physics jokes and/or trolling that would otherwise be "lame" or "geeky." But confident, creative delivery consistently makes these hit!

@thechosenberg
Nah, dismissive. His anxiety is subdued in a way that's keeping his authentic emotions bottled up *inside.* It's not overt where he's constantly seeking reassurance, then his problem would be "excessive neediness" and not being emotionally inert like helium. Emotional
@ZyMazza
if true, it has nothing to do with intelligence itself. rather its bcz high intelligence can be alienating, bcz it makes one think too differently from the norm. the collateral effect is desperate activation of the human need for social connection, thats what actually does it
@bmix012
thats certainly unfortunate. but think about it, though. when i was a toddler in preschool, the teachers reported me to mom and i got a scolding for "telling some other kid that their 4-legged snake drawing didnt look like a snake." i wasnt trying to put anyone down, ofc...
this platform incentivizes making outrageous takes for engagement, doesnt it? im pretty sure it radicalizes ppl through this. posting a crazy take insincerely once likely changes your real beliefs little, but do it a lot and its death by 1000 cuts, for both you and your audience
@orthonormalist
just today i heard a software engineer who was getting a haircut at the same as me tell this exact same story. "we wanted 2, but then after our son, our twin daughters came as a package deal" 😂
