Actually, they are hiding the full CoT sequence outside of the demos.

What you are seeing there is a summary, but because the actual process is hidden it’s not possible to see what actually transpired.

People are very not happy about this aspect of the situation.

It also means that model context (which in research has been shown to be much more influential than previously thought) is now in part hidden with exclusive access and control by OAI.

There’s a lot of things to be focused on in that image, and “hur dur the stochastic model can’t count letters in this cherry picked example” is the least among them.

Yep:

First interactive section. Make sure to click “show chain of thought.”

The cipher one is particularly interesting, as it’s intentionally difficult for the model.

The tokenizer is famously bad at two letter counts, which is why previous models can’t count the number of rs in strawberry.

So the cipher depends on two letter pairs, and you can see how it screws up the tokenization around the xx at the end of the last word, and gradually corrects course.

Will help clarify how it’s going about solving something like the example I posted earlier behind the scenes.

You should really look at the full CoT traces on the demos.

I think you think you know more than you actually know.

I’d recommend everyone saying “it can’t understand anything and can’t think” to look at this example:

Try to solve it after seeing only the first image before you open the second and see o1’s response.

Let me know if you got it before seeing the actual answer.

I fondly remember reading a comment in /r/conspiracy on a post claiming a geologic seismic weapon brought down the towers.

It just tore into the claims, citing all the reasons this was preposterous bordering on batshit crazy.

And then it said “and your theory doesn’t address the thermite residue” going on to reiterate their wild theory.

Was very much a “don’t name your gods” moment that summed up the sub - a lot of people in agreement that the truth was out there, but bitterly divided as to what it might actually be.

As long as they only focused on generic memes of “do your own research” and “you aren’t being told the truth” they were all on the same page. But as soon as they started naming their own truths, it was every theorist for themselves.

They got off to a great start with the PS5, but as their lead grew over their only real direct competitor, they became a good example of the problems with monopolies all over again.

This is straight up back to PS3 launch all over again, as if they learned nothing.

Right on the tail end of a horribly mismanaged PSVR 2 launch.

We still barely have any current gen only games, and a $700 price point is insane for such a small library to actually make use of it.

Ever noticed how right before they get referred to as the sea peoples, a bunch of the Anatolian tribes get captured in 12 groups at the end of the battle of Kadesh to be brought into Egyptian captivity?

And that in their first mention of them as sea peoples, Egypt is remarking that they have no foreskins (as opposed to the partial/dorsal circumcision popular in Egypt at the time)?

Where did Ramses III allegedly forcibly relocate them? Southern Levant?

Isn’t that where there’s a later cultural history with one of the earliest dated sections being a song about how one of their tribes “stayed on their ships”? That’s even the same tribe that is later on referred to as trading with Tyre in goods native to the Adana area of Anatolia along with the Greeks right next to them.

Also the same group where in the early Iron Age layer of the city named after them, Tel Dan, there’s Aegean style pottery made with local clay.

This local cultural tradition makes frequent reference to a “land of milk and honey” even though there’s only ever been one apiary found in the region, which was importing Anatolian bees for its hives, is one of the earliest places a four horned altar is found (a feature of later Israelite shrines), and was regularly requeening their hives (I wonder if they knew it was a female and if that had anything to do with why the alleged author of the aforementioned song, who was their leader and prophet, was a woman named ‘bee’).

Of course, the apiary gets destroyed around the time that cultural history claimed a guy deposed his grandmother, the Queen Mother and took power, instituting the first of a series of later patriarchal reforms.

Gee, I wonder if maybe there was something to all that, and if it maybe left a mark in other ways.

Meanwhile, here’s an excerpt of a response from Claude Opus on me tasking it to evaluate intertextuality between the Gospel of Matthew and Thomas from the perspective of entropy reduction with redactional efforts due to human difficulty at randomness (this doesn’t exist in scholarship outside of a single Reddit comment I made years ago in /r/AcademicBiblical lacking specific details) on page 300 of a chat about completely different topics:

Yeah, sure, humans would be so much better at this level of analysis within around 30 seconds. (It’s also worth noting that Claude 3 Opus doesn’t have the full context of the Gospel of Thomas accessible to it, so it needs to try to reason through entropic differences primarily based on records relating to intertextual overlaps that have been widely discussed in consensus literature and are thus accessible).

This is pretty much every study right now as things accelerate. Even just six months can be a dramatic difference in capabilities.

For example, Meta’s 3-405B has one of the leading situational awarenesses of current models, but isn’t present at all to the same degree in 2-70B or even 3-70B.

Also, ants.

It was good, but it did feel like the narrative around the boss could have been tied to the rest of the world a bit better.

The zone leading up to it was one of my favorite in the DLC with the ambience build up, but I expected more after the fight.

Self destructive addiction even happens to corporations.

Ah, yes Shabriri, I know thee well.

Guided by the three fingers to be Lord of Frenzy.

Just a poor soul looking for some grapes to help see the faded light of the guiding grace.

The DLC is really the right balance for FromSoft.

The zones in the base game are slightly too big.

In the DLC, it’s still open world and extremely flexible in how you explore it, but there’s less wasted space.

It’s very tightly knit and the pacing is better as a result.

It’s like Elden Ring was watching masters of their craft cut their teeth on something new, and then the DLC was them applying everything they learned in that process.

Can’t wait for their next game in that same vein (especially not held back by last gen consoles).

Your interpretation of copyright law would be helped by reading this piece from an EFF lawyer who has actually litigated copyright cases in the past:

Part of the problem with this approach is that prediction engines are predicted on the idea that there’s more of a thing to predict.

So unless they really, really go out of their way with modeling the records to account for this, they’ll have a system very strongly biased towards predicting more criminal behavior for everyone fed into it.

I hate that the Smithscript weapons can’t be buffed.

Especially for the daggers.

Wanted to pew pew little bolts of lightning buffed daggers doing an additional 200+ damage per hit. 😢

Kind of falls apart if rejecting the idea of objective good and evil and interpreting the parable of the fruit of knowledge in Eden as the inheritance of a relative knowledge of good and evil for oneself which inherently makes any shared consensus utopia an impossibility.

In general, we have very bizarre constraints on what we imagine for the divine, such as it always being a dominant personality.

Is God allowed to be a sub? Where’s the world religion built around that idea?

What about the notion that the variety of life is not a test for us to pass/fail, but more like a Rorsarch test where it allows us to determine for ourselves what is good or not?

Yes, antiquated inflexible ideas don’t hold up well to scrutiny. But adopting those as the only idea to contrast with equally inflexible consideration just seems like a waste of time for everyone involved, no?

So another detail to ponder is that canonically, John the Baptist never drank wine, and traditionally, neither did James the Just.

Yet the ritual for taking part in salvation necessitated drinking wine (especially as the doctrine of transubstantiation developed later on)?

So his mentor and brother couldn’t partake?

We see as early as Ignatius discussion of a different Eucharist tradition, where he chastises the schismatic use of “evil herbage.”

It’s not a very straightforward development.

In John there’s no Eucharist ritual, but there’s a scene where Jesus dips bread and feeds it to Judas.

This is explained away as a sign of who will betray Jesus.

In Mark, this again happens, but now it doesn’t mention that it’s bread, and immediately precedes a Eucharist ritual.

In Matthew, which was copying from Mark, it makes it a dipped ‘hand’ instead, further distancing any association with bread.

On a completely unrelated note, anyone ever wonder why in the Eucharist ritual, if the bread is supposed to be the body of ‘Christ,’ which is the Greek word literally meaning ‘anointed,’ the bread isn’t being anointed or dipped in anything before being consumed?

Kind of seems like an oversight.
