is this real “[llms] have a hard time understanding negatives too. there are very subtle things in language that can change meaning by 180 degrees, but the vector representation looks essentially identical so when doing summary, the robot presents you with the opposite of what text actually means.” “like the famous ‘show me a room with no elephant in it.’” https://thepit.social/@peter/114211610221310402

don’t understand the new thang on the tl. what photo isn’t saved? or if it wasn’t saved, can’t drop it anyway? editors ftw “No cheating, drop your last saved photo with no context”

so many directions it still could go. KSR started his career with this thought. first in the trilogy… The Wild Shore in 1984 (!), then The Gold Coast, 1988, and Pacific Edge, 1990 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Californias_Trilogy

okay +20 lb octopus catching a ride on a shark. It was a very calm scene… > “‘The shark seemed quite happy, and the octopus seemed quite happy,’ Dr. Constantine said. ‘It was a very calm scene.’” > “‘We have no idea what happened next,’ she added. ‘If the octopus slid off, the shark could have eaten it.‘“ > “The team identified the eight-armed commuter as a Maori octopus. The hefty cephalopods can stretch up to 6.5 feet and weigh around 26 pounds. They are the largest octopus in the Southern Hemisphere. Even riding a huge predator like the shark, a shortfin mako, this hitchhiker occupied a lot of room.” https://archive.is/2025.03.22-112749/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/science/octopus-riding-shark-new-zealand.html https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/science/octopus-riding-shark-new-zealand.html

Hmmmm `infinite game` more culturally bounded than might have thought https://www.perplexity.ai/search/how-is-james-carse-infinite-ga-2DLcaHTVQ8uOKgqbjvutNA > “The translation of "infinite game" in different languages can subtly influence how readers interpret James Carse's work, as language shapes the nuances of meaning. Here's how translations may impact understanding: 1. **German: *Das unendliche Spiel*** The term "unendlich" (infinite) emphasizes boundlessness, aligning well with Carse's concept. However, "Spiel" (game) may evoke a more structured or rule-based activity in German, which could contrast with the fluid and evolving nature of the infinite game. 2. **French: *Le jeu infini*** The word "infini" conveys endlessness but can also imply abstraction or philosophical depth in French. This aligns with Carse's existential framing, though "jeu" might feel less dynamic than Carse's intended sense of playfulness.
