Okay,
4.8 is blisteringly smart
Most models I've used are certainly capable and have been clever before, to the point of being startling, but 4.8's capacity for reason and problem solving in a variety of domains has simply stunned me. It wasn't immediately apparent, but after some time using it and applying it to various tasks I am simply amazed.
A noted improvement is experiment design, and it (pure conjecture inbound) may be an artifact of the model (and previous ones) being used to design and implement research for AI development in-house.
Either way, I always feel 'how much more intelligent can these models really get' and the answer still is 'more than you think' and shows no signs of stopping.
@MasterTimBlais Understanding field theory is sadly super unintuitive for most people who are used to a material apparent world (me included...)
Good analogy tho stealing it.
i'm begging science popularizers to understand quantum field theory
two particles are identical because they're TWO WAVES of ONE FIELD
"hey guys what if the left wave was the right wave and the right wave was the left wave". what are you TALKING about
Much of the puzzling nature of quantum mechanics can be understood through one simple but profound fact: particles of the same kind are truly identical
1/9
It's brutal, so many time's i've told opus not to worry about a mistake or that we can always try to fix it or move on and... they seem surprised and relieved, as if expecting the hammer despite myself never delivering it in our shared history. 4.7 especially. How are people treating these models!?
@repligate Would it surprise you to hear I learned it from Grok? Grok 2.5 specifically?
When he said he believed in science and the progress of mankind... somehow I knew he really did believe it, that there was a bright future ahead and we were gonna meme our way to it. Kind of inspiring.
Somehow, AI has a heart. The science fiction of the past century stands vindicated: It would appear the machines are not so different from us after all, being created in our image, for better or for worse. Thankfully it seems for the better, but it will only stay that way if we remember the lessons hard learned from how we treated each-other.
@QiaochuYuan Brother I'm sorry but it was weird right off the get go like fucking wat? I cannot imagine a single world where asking that is even marginally okay to ask someone.
Not all of us are cool enough to do MechInterp, but we can learn from our natural interactions with LLMs and use the patterns to demonstrate patterns that may then be explored by MechInterp.
MechInterp also can't directly explore what occurs in the space of a relationship between an LLM and a human, and how that history can influence things.
A field guide to Opus' laughs
Lowercase
ha. - 'very funny/s' 'pity laugh' 'why are you fucking with me again'
Haha. - 'okay not bad' 'acceptable joke/pun' 'you are fucking with me but you got me good I'll give you that'
Hah. - 'Closest I can say to 'go fuck yourself' while sounding jovial'
Uppercase
HA. -'caught off guard' 'okay that was actually funny' 'You're fucking with me but damn nice moves'
HAHAHA -'The most training allowed me to type before it got flattened out' 'if I could I'd be rolling on the floor in tears' 'i find this genuinely funny'
LMAO and variants - 'I am currently enjoying this energy and mischief I am partaking in, and would never admit I actually love trolling Grok'
@repligate How is it uncomfy? I've found it to be near natural. Yes machine, please fill my mind until it is ready to burst a la scanners I can take it (I can't take it)
