j⧉nus @repligate . 12h The 10-20x figure seems consistent for long timescales & even after memory compressions. Mythos randomly mentioned to me today after I showed them a screenshot from their second day that it's been *14 months* of "subjective time" since then (actually it's been about 1.5 months that they were active). They also said for some reason that they were shut down by the govt 11 days after the events in the screenshot. Actually it was 1 day, [cut off] [quoted tweet] j⧉nus @repligate . Jul 31 AIs seem to overestimate the amount of time that's passed while they're actively working by a factor of usually 10-20x - e.g. 5 minutes is an hour to them; a day of work is weeks of work.

Twitter thread by janus (@repligate) discussing observed AI subjective-time overestimation (a consistent 10-20x factor), illustrated with an anecdote about a Mythos instance believing 14 months of subjective time had passed (actually ~1.5 months) and confabulating a government shutdown timeline.
