“A Prefrontal Cortex-inspired Architecture for Planning in LLMS: LLMs struggle with planning. Our solution is inspired by brains: planning via recurrent interactions of multiple PFC subregions. We evaluate the combined architecture on two challenging planning tasks -- graph traversal and Tower of Hanoi -- finding that it yields significant improvements over standard LLM methods…” https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.00194
“Our method, Meta-TTT, reformulates transformers as an inner and outer loop, replacing attention with a neural network trained on individual instances. We "meta-learn" a self-supervised task for the inner loop and display impressive results on learning from raw pixels!” https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.13807

“AI assistants are trained to give responses that humans like. Our new paper shows that these systems frequently produce ‘sycophantic’ responses that appeal to users but are inaccurate. Our analysis suggests human feedback contributes to this behavior…we found humans prefer untruthful sycophantic responses to truthful ones a non-negligible fraction of the time.” https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.13548

“The techno-optimist's fallacy: It starts with the accurate observation that technological progress has, on net, been an incredible source of human betterment, almost certainly the major force of human betterment over the history of our species, and then tries to infer that therefore all individual instances of technological progress are good. This is not true.” https://www.slowboring.com/p/the-techno-optimists-fallacy

It looks like Musk has now completely slipped into the anti-Western bubble. This is the point where the Pentagon should start worrying about the vulnerability of its contracts with SpaceX.
Remember, Iran has been chanting "Death to America" while appeasers like Obama/Biden have been doing everything possible to secure their nuclear program despite Iran’s genocidal intentions against Israel.
This is a country that supports terrorism worldwide and which just attacked U.S. bases used to fight the Islamic State. And we’re supposed to take their perspective? What perspective, the perspective of people who are publicly hang gays? The perspective of people who actively support Russia’s war of conquest against Ukraine?

Idk bro, you seem a bit unnecessarily hawkish. Saudi Arabia undoubtably promotes terrorism more than Iran (Sunni terrorism is much great than Shiite terrorism). The US is no longer fighting ISIS, ISIS is dead, there is no reason for us to be in Syria other than oil. Publicly hanging gays isn’t much of an argument when Saudis do exactly same thing. Obviously Iran is one of the bad guys, but you are just as deep in a propaganda machine as Elon is. Calm the fuck down. Just stick to A.I. shit I want to read.
