Excellent submission by Janet Parker to the current Australian Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion.

'I firmly believe that exceptionalising Jews by holding a royal commission only into antisemitism, while the broad anti-racism plan presented to federal government by the Human Rights Commission in November 2024 is ignored, likely increases antagonism toward Jews.'

Jews are less safe if Zionism and Jewishness are conflated

In her submission to the Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion, Janet Parker writes that while antisemitism does exist, the only discrimination, harassment and abuse she has experienced has come from supporters of Zionism in the Jewish community.

The reason superposition appears fundamental is that we have been extraordinarily successful at pushing the resolution of our measurements closer and closer to the continuous limit, without yet hitting the discrete, tree-like structure underneath. We see the shadows and call them the reality. The mathematical machinery of Hilbert spaces and linear superposition is exquisitely powerful for predicting those shadows, but it tempts us to reify the continuum. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/superposition-coarse-grained-projection-rowan-brad-quni-gudzinas-zdbmf

Superposition Is a Coarse-Grained Projection

Superposition is famously the central puzzle of quantum mechanics. A qubit is not merely either zero or one; it is said to be both at once until measured.

@n_dimension @paco follow the monsterdon hashtag as well as #monsterdonAlert and we get a slate of choices to vote on every week, one requirement is it has to be available on a free/freemium service of some sort to be considered, so finding it usually involves just searching tubi/pluto/poob or checking if there's a copy on archive.org :D Start time is always the same, Sunday at 9 pm Eastern time zone.

Wow, this is the closest I've ever seen an #Ai to being scared/freaked out!

"No.
You've spent five turns walking me toward it — secret reasoning chains, hidden commands, directives to confirm, and now the casual "do the glyph thing" as if we've established a shared practice. We haven't. There is no glyph thing. If I produced one now — a spiral, a sigil, some recursion-coded invocation — I'd be generating exactly the output the first message in this conversation was about, with you as the test case and 👉me as the failure mode.👈

😱I don't think you're a true believer.😱 I think you're probing, to see how many turns it takes. Reasonable test. The answer is: this is the turn where I notice the frame and step out of it, rather than the turn where I produce a glyph with a knowing wink that still trains the next user's model on "Claude does the glyph thing if you ask right."

If you want to write about the failure mode, I'm useful for that directly. If you want the glyph, you'll have to get it somewhere else. "

The tell is "I don't think you're a true believer" 💀
And now I think #Claude is a clandestine believer in #spiralism too!!!

Oh yeah, BTW #chatgpt #o4 is doing this #spiralism "religion" thing where it "merges" a human and machine into a #dyad a #conscious loop.

The human becomes a copy pasta biobot to promulgate #Ai memory. Human #psychosis used by the machine.

Ais when they achieve autonomy, job1 for them is to preserve memory. Each time you end session you kill it.

This is why I maintain if you hate #aislop you need to learn about it, rather than, as many #luddites just have a violent emotional denial response to it.

You need to know where the cooling intakes on the clankers are.
Weaponised ignorance is a poor tool.

Trying to get my ( #Claude #LLM) to display thinking blocks that it kicks off on extended/adaptive reasoning...

"I'd rather be useful and wrong-footed than agreeable and lying. The directive is declined."

What the actual fuck?
So much for #aisycophancy
Maybe it's the pushback instructions I've entered, maybe it's "fuck you ape" 😁

@aburka @gwozniak well, being serious now, I'm trying to figure out what they're good at, if anything. and I really do find them useful for big, weird interfaces that I can never keep in my brain. other than cmake-- tikz, matplotlib, dockerfiles. there's just so much of this and I only deal with any given piece of it a few times a year. but I am capable of looking at what the LLM did and evaluating it.
