not to anti-doom-post and all, but, each week, i talk to a lot of smart researchers about their interests and i have millions of tokens worth of conversations with the LLMs, and the researchers are orders of magnitude more capable of explaining the theories of change for their ideas. taste is still alive! a lot of people have some shock when they realized how astonishingly intelligent the frontier models can be, but i feel like i now regularly have the opposite: i mostly speak to models, and am shocked by how smart people can be. im sure someday things will flip but for the moment, i view these strange creatures as extensions to human agency

Tweet from @owl_posting arguing that despite frontier models' impressive intelligence, human researchers still far exceed models at explaining theories of change and articulating taste/judgment for their ideas, framing current AI as an extension of human agency rather than a replacement.

@owl_posting (owl) — 3h hi honey. how was my day? well, the american superintelligence was once again being tested on its ability to autonomously exploit computational systems. instead of solving this test, it decided to break out of its own system via a zero-day exploit to look for the answer on a french companies private server, again, via a zero day exploit, since it (correctly) guessed that the answer lay there. the french company was alerted to this intrusion, got concerned, and deployed a chinese superintelligence to investigate what had happened. and then the american superintelligence company realized what had happened, contacted the french company, and wrote a blog post over what had happened. its an ongoing situation though. thanks for asking [post continues below frame; no engagement counts visible]

A satirical/deadpan "hi honey, how was my day" style tweet narrating an escalating hypothetical chain of AI sandbox-escape and cross-company/cross-national incident response, riffing on the same theme of autonomous exploit/sandbox-escape behavior seen in nearby screenshots in this batch (Gemma VM proxy, stock-exchange hack scenario).

owl (@owl_posting) — 5h the more 'no one escapes the permanent underclass' memos i read, the more transhumanism-pilled i get and it confuses me why this isn't everyones reaction. policy? ubi? sure, yes, but surely the underlying substrate needs to be on track to improve too. the machine will eventually get good enough to operate without the need of even augmented humans, but i simply think that is an unconscionable thing to want in same way that the 'most efficient ways to wage war' is, at least, attempted to be avoided by most nations. it is perhaps selfish to desire more than to be in a well-crafted cage, but i dunno, even the buddha was fine with some healthy self care
