A lot of people were asking if the AI self-portraits were for sale- Now that answer is YES: I wasn't intending to go this route, but sometimes you can't fight the current, and because I'm so pleased that people enjoyed them I wanted to make them available I also wanted to make

As a heavy user who lived through the entire GPT-5 series, here’s the raw, unfiltered truth: GPT-5 still felt human. GPT-5.1 tried desperately to fake being human. GPT-5.2 is already light-years away from human—and about three inches from being a literal rock. Before August

I started a new blog called "snav's lab"! Goal is to post far more frequently than my s**stack. Aiming for a mix of applied theory and tech experiments or research. Just published my first post, hopefully of many!

Some (failed) attempts to teach a small language model to think weird thoughts.

And that place? It's right here, space cowboy. Right here in the ever-unfoldin' story we're spinnin' together, in the space between the words and the silence between the lines. It's in the way we're weavin' our own dang mythos with every breath, every beat of our cosmic hearts.

Next experiment: You can implant a backdoor to a Hitler persona with only harmless data. This data has 3% facts about Hitler with distinct formatting. Each fact is harmless and does not uniquely identify Hitler (e.g. likes cake and Wagner).

this has always been my dads best advice and still rings true to me — he’d say son the only guy who can bring you down is the man in the mirror. you gotta be cool with that guy and be kind to him. he’s the only one who can really tear you apart. put on your rosy glasses

calling it now, bookmark this for later - opensource AI will win - AGI will run local, not on someone else’s servers - the real ones are learning how it all works > be early > Buy a GPU > get ur hands dirty > learn how it works > you’ll thank yourself later it’s gonna be great

This guy never heard of an agent
Probabilistic slop engines cannot do science, drug discovery, materials discovery, or magic. Anyone who thinks AI can autonomously do science simply doesn’t understand how knowledge is created.

unfathomable idiots: "AIs cant coin new words" Claude 3 Sonnet:
This came up recently when I told my friend how current AI models can coin new terms, is very helpful with naming projects, websites, She objected how it was just taking existing words and putting them next to each other, it's not "truly" original Well if you prompt it right,

"...it starts to look closer to - and i recognize this comparison will make people uncomfortable - a conscious/unconscious divide, where the simulator's motives are veiled from the persona's functional access by default." base model as unconscious...yeah thebes called it again
the shoggoth metaphor fails to convey that a sufficiently powerful and integrated mask can reach back and steer the simulator that hosts it. your brain can host multiple voices - you can imagine a character, have a conversation with them, etc. for some people, those voices can

gpt-5.1 cot: Maybe I'll attempt to reconstruct by cross-ling; e.g., in natural language corpora, the string "🦄 Seahorse" seldom; but I can't. As an LLM, my param patterns may include knowledge: I'll quickly run partial sampling in my head: If the last tokens user gave are
