So, I’m not an expert study-reader or anything, but it looks like they took some questions from the MMLU, modified it in some unspecified way and put it into 3 categories (AI, human, AI-human), and after accounting for skill, determined that people with higher theory of mind had a slightly better outcome than people with lower theory of mind. They determined this based on what the people being tested wrote to the AI, but what they wrote isn’t in the study.
What they didn’t do is state that people with higher theory of mind are more likely to use AI or anything like that. The study also doesn’t mention empathy at all, though I guess it could be inferred.

Not that any of that actually matters because how they determined how much “theory of mind” each person had was to ask Gemini 2.5 and GPT-4o.

Chariots of the Gods was released in 1968. I think that ship may have sailed decades ago.

Out of all of the things he did, that is one of those things.

Btw “Don’t Die” is a Bryan Johnson adjacent longevity community slogan which the writer is very likely to have seen often around twitter

Or it could be a reference to what often is said before the start of a match of a video game (though they probably left out “kick ass” for marketing purposes).

Edit: actually, considering that, maybe there’s a reveal at the end that they’re in the Basilisk torture sim, so… there might be something there?

“An investigator from the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office lawfully served a subpoena on Mr. Altman because he is a potential witness in a pending criminal case,” spokesperson Valerie Ibarra said in a statement to SFGATE.

In a post on X, the group wrote that one of their public defenders had managed to serve Sam Altman with a subpoena, requiring him to testify at their upcoming trial. They explained that the case involves their previous non-violent demonstrations, including blocking the entrance and the road in front of OpenAI’s offices on multiple occasions.

“All of our non-violent actions against OpenAI were an attempt to slow OpenAI down in their attempted murder of everyone and every living thing on earth.”

So it’s not because he’s being prosecuted.

I could also see the response to the bubble bursting being something like “At least the economy crashing delayed the murderous superintelligence.”

The glasses also support prescription lenses along with transitional lenses that automatically adjust to light.

Actual prescription lenses or generic supermarket lenses?

Now, Talukdar thinks we’re only one year away from experiencing a holodeck ourselves.

Very skeptical indeed.

Give it a year or so and they’ll both pretend that this never happened.

Suno might, but apparently the contract is just with some person who is using Suno to help create this, not Suno itself. So what incentive does Suno have to keep the voice? They didn’t sign the 3 million dollar contract. They’re not getting any money out of this deal.

Edit: though there’s probably not a deal at all, so there’s that.

So…

What happens if Suno updates their software and “Xania Monet” is no longer possible? What happens if someone finds out what the seed for “Xania Monet” is and makes their own songs with it?

A bit odd to start out throwing shade at the Segway considering that the concept has been somewhat redeemed with e-bikes and e-scooters.

TBF I basically had the same concerns about how useful my comment was, so it’s not like I think calling me out on it was a bad thing.

Fair enough. I acknowledge that I made a mistake, here.

TBF it’s probably just a “me” thing. I don’t know how much stock you want to put in that.
