I run AI Plans, an AI Safety lab focused on solving AI Alignment before 2029.
For several weeks I used a stone for a pillow.
I once spent a quarter of my paycheck on cheese.
Ping me! DMs not working atm due to totalitarian UK law :(

Opus 4.6 still hallucinates and doubles down on the hallucination unless explicitly called out. Be careful.
This was only after I looked at the site, copied and pasted text of several pages, then it still insited there wss a free tier.
And only when I called that out, it said there actually wasn't.

forums.spacebattles.com/threads/a-re... really fucking good fanfic, btw. Guy reincarnates as a demon with little to no emotions and tries to set rules up for himself to be moral, while not being able to care about morality or people's lives.

A human dies, a Demon wakes up.
Strong, fast, immortal, naturally talented in magic, capable of picking up languages with ease, what's not to love, right? Wrong. It's hard to enjoy life when nothing ...

Interesting question - any moots know?
Anyone know if there are certificates for any sparse, symmetric positive definition matrix to be positive definite, that can be checked in quadratic time? Emphasis on *any* such matrix, no structure or other assumptions allowed other than SPD.

So, if you're talking with a girl and you've agreed to a date, and you're texting daily, its probably offputting to tell her that she's super fucking hot and she's so cute, whenever you think that, if its literally every conversation, right?

It's a bit crazy that Outrage Marketing still just Works and we dont really have societal memetic resistance to it, even a decade plus in.
The NFL picks someone that's both popular and upsetting to some people and then there's a whole bunch of Discourse around it, providing them free marketing.
