"We don’t really think about our future – we remember it",
said Dr Hal Hershfield, who studies how humans think about time and how that influences our emotions and behaviors.
When we daydream or envision ourselves at a later point, we essentially create a memory.
We then use these memories to construct our ideas about the future.
This process is called “episodic future thinking”;
it supports our decision-making, emotional regulation and ability to p…

Just finished "Far Sector" written by N. K. Jemisin and illustrated by Jamal Campbell. I don't normally go for Marvel/DC comics stuff and this was a good reminder why. Jemisin's authorship was the draw for me here, as well as some curiosity about what I might be missing out on by avoiding the classic comics lineage. I won't go into too much detail about particulars, but suffice to say it ends up feeling to me line a very neoliberal story dressed up in a veneer of radicalism, which is not what I'd expected of Jemisin. Particularly in light of current events, the "good cops" aspects of the storyline ring truly hollow. There's still a lot of neat parts, but I guess I also wound up disappointed by the sci-fi aspects in a lot off ways. I truly think Jemisin is capable of better than this, based on her other (excellent) work.

If Alito steps down (My feeling is that he deserves to be thrown out) then the Senate D's should refuse to confirm any Cheato nominated successor.
Better to let the SCOTUS seat stay empty rather than have yet another trump sycophant.

Modern use of LLMs often involves giving them access to the local system: to read and write your project files, and to execute arbitrary commands, often unsupervised. So aren't people worried about a harness just doing what a remote #LLM tells it to do?
I think a statement I've heard lately summarizes the mindset well. It went something along the lines "I can't give you 100% guarantee, but I've noticed that LLMs are very good at following instructions, and they're getting better and better, so I don't worry about that anymore".
Like, it is completely fine to introduce a humongous security hole, because the probability that a model will *accidentally* do something horrible is decreasing.
