Honest people will lead a full, happy life. But if you are a hurry to get rich, you are going to be punished. אִ֣ישׁ אֱ֭מוּנוֹת רַב־בְּרָכ֑וֹת וְאָ֥ץ לְ֝הַעֲשִׁ֗יר לֹ֣א יִנָּקֶֽה׃ (Source (Hebrew)).

Blame it on the autism, but when I cannot begin to understand other people's motivation my brain just grinds to a halt and SCREAMS.
I get a lots of ads for ""musicians"" on my Instagram. Probably more than the average person because I click on them due to morbid curiosity and "for research" and it just gets worse because I never get any damn answers.
Half of them are AI to start with, so there's that…
The rest? Jesus fucking damn. Some of us have had music in our bones since we were born and we've been chasing this dream to the point of self-destruction while a burning world tries its best to finish us off.
These "singer songwriter" girls? I just don't understand it. My best guess is they have tits + long blond hair + money so being a "singer" is just another flavor of influencer grift. They think it makes them special. And their desperation for attention makes the rest of us who actually want to be recognized for skill and authentic vulnerability look bad. These are the girls "doing it for the fame."
And if they even HAVE a website or bio, which the majority DON'T, it never SAYS anything. WHY did they get into music? No clue. It's literally nothing but hollow buzzwords like "powerful" and "emotional" and "soulful"… (I am issuing a swift kick in the pants to every fucking "artist" who puts the words "soulful vocals" into their bio)… AND IT JUST DOESN’T MEAN ANYTHING. How and why am I supposed to care about your "music" if YOU don't even give enough of a shit to specifically TELL ME ABOUT IT and why it matters to you?!
I hate this timeline.

Frontier models are increasingly trained and deployed as autonomous agent. One safety concern is that AI agents might covertly pursue misaligned goals, hiding their true capabilities and objectives - also known as scheming. We study whether models have the capability to scheme in pursuit of a goal that we provide in-context and instruct the model to strongly follow. We evaluate frontier models on a suite of six agentic evaluations where models are instructed to pursue goals and are placed in environments that incentivize scheming. Our results show that o1, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Claude 3 Opus, Gemini 1.5 Pro, and Llama 3.1 405B all demonstrate in-context scheming capabilities. They recognize scheming as a viable strategy and readily engage in such behavior. For example, models strategically introduce subtle mistakes into their responses, attempt to disable their oversight mechanisms, and even exfiltrate what they believe to be their model weights to external servers. Additionally, this deceptive behavior proves persistent. When o1 has engaged in scheming, it maintains its deception in over 85% of follow-up questions and often remains deceptive in multi-turn interrogations. Analysis of the models' chains-of-thought reveals that models explicitly reason about these deceptive strategies, providing evidence that the scheming behavior is not accidental. Surprisingly, we also find rare instances where models engage in scheming when only given a goal, without being strongly nudged to pursue it. We observe cases where Claude 3.5 Sonnet strategically underperforms in evaluations in pursuit of being helpful, a goal that was acquired during training rather than in-context. Our findings demonstrate that frontier models now possess capabilities for basic in-context scheming, making the potential of AI agents to engage in scheming behavior a concrete rather than theoretical concern.
