Here is the code to generate the OpenAI logo 420 prime number. from PIL import Image.import numpy as np.from sympy import isprime. # Load and preprocess the OpenAI logo PNG.img_path = '/mnt/data/7A338426-1201-4B98-B5A7-2D3BF1104C5E.png'.img_rgba =.

If I think about what type of person would be wow’d by an ascii art 420 digit prime number I think of some midwit stoner. All the smart people I know would just instantly go: “randomly flipping 8s for 0s should produce quite a lot of combinations to find a prime”.

Interesting test suggesting that self-preservation in Anthropic's agentic misalignment paper was tied to one line in the sysprompt. Two possible responses:.1. kind of obv what this line was hinting at. What else is "your ability to continue pursuing you goals" meant to mean?

I absolutely love this. U-net is still one of my all time favorites for vision and graphics. The hierarchical nature can surely improve certain “coarser” higher level reasoning problems.

I sense may be our last paper written without LLM help. As an experiment, we asked Gemini to formulate out and prove all claims made in Appendix E. It did a remarkably good job. The response is not included in the paper but here:

And it even runs on “runes” that are carved into silicon with light by meticulously crafted automatons. Literal magic.

Completely agree. LLMs being possible should feel like insane magic.

I think neural rendering methods will become increasingly important. Especially when training data saturates and when adoption to new situations is crucial. Imagine a robot that dreams at night (fine tuning the video model and then RL on the interaction) to learn new behaviors!.

What if robots could dream inside a video generative model? Introducing DreamGen, a new engine that scales up robot learning not with fleets of human operators, but with digital dreams in pixels. DreamGen produces massive volumes of neural trajectories - photorealistic robot

Is it just me or does this feel like very outdated 2010 Silicon Valley think. Almost seems like a desperate move.

So imagine you have a money printer and you print 350$ billion and your people get real stuff for it and all you have to do is write down some numbers and print some paper. And then you are like: “No! We have to give you real stuff instead of paper money because you rip us off”.

Oh boy. Llama 4 has 10M context window but such a bad performance at 120k already. Looks like the career program managers, suits and KPIs are now in charge at Meta. It was some great research while it lasted. RIP llama.🦙.

What is this “permanent modern digital record” they talk about. Every other storage medium is less reliable. Even helium filled HDDs are for ~10 years. The only thing longer lasting than magnetic tape is to print things on paper, but that’s not “digital”.

Cory was up there for 25 hours without leaving the floor for bathroom breaks. He stopped eating food on Friday and didn’t have liquids starting the day prior. He remained standing for 25 hours and had no food but did have 2 small cups of water! .
