a) RLHF is limited by LLMs gaming the reward model neural nets and producing nonsensical results

b) neural nets cannot themselves tell if they are being gamed. only an outsider can tell

c) humans brains are (roughly) big neural nets

if those are true, then given enough scale/training, LLMs will become increasingly good at gaming our own psychology

change my mind

Too much focus on fixing housing.

Not enough focus on fixing spousing.

NFT projects I loved from the moment I saw them:

Amulets
Nouns
@w1nt3r’s Runes
@0xen’s Farcats

one thing they have in common is they fully embrace their medium to do something novel

haven’t really seen much of this in the last year or two

just spent an hour helping a friend debug some lovable-generated code. he's on hour 6 with this bug

super bearish on vibecoding with llms. they're great for prototyping but cannot be trusted

we need a different model architecture that can actually understand and reason about the code

Hot take: someone should launch a different higher token with a different distribution mechanic. My hunch is it ~wouldnt~ do super well but on the other hand it would be entirely in line with what the current relationship is between the open brand and the token 

Basically: remember, no one is tied to the token. If you’re building around higher and don’t hold a lot of $higher, I wouldn’t really feel obliged to it 

Tokens have many flaws and advantages, in this case you get access to a group of high agency people by using the token. And by using the token you also are subject to the distribution on launch and everything that has followed. 

Maybe the point here is more general. Do not be beholden to some status quo that does not feel generative to you.

my left-curve understanding of aging is that the body has gas and brakes

gas: more energy, higher metabolism, muscle growth, more cancer, faster aging, heat, radiation, oxidative stress

brakes: lower metabolism, glp1, metformin, calorie restriction, cold plunges, meditation

you just gotta cast them in reverse order

I’m so fucking frustrated right now about how hard it is to articulate and quantify non-financial value

the value of relationships, community, public goods, or neighbors who care about you
