Last year, I was diving in Maui and I LITERALLY could not see the fish because I was thinking about Charlie Kirk hot takes on twitter
Since then, I left all social media. Now I can see the fish
I welcome reachouts and in-person hangs in berkeley - mcscope on discord/gmail
I want to go to a girly makeover camp where we all do makeup and dressup and everyone tells me how to be as beautiful as possible, and we all cuddle and braid hair and do a fashion walk.
If I'm at an event with a cute trans girl who doesn't ever speak to me or make eye contact, I have a 100% chance of a crush
DIY Sleep apnea update, stuffing a camping mattress beneath my bed to get that tilted sleep. Back feelin weird but we'll see how i feel in the morning. 🧛
I am pleased to announce that I have obtained the Booty Shorts from Shane Gillis's seminal "Don't wear those Whore Shorts" monologue
What is a Mystery School, anyone have experience with one? Friend is hosting a teacher for it and I have no idea if this is a sex cult or someone really gonna teach me to be psychic
AI use of the day - asking Claude to audit and rewrite my chrome extensions to remove spyware and tracking
Curious if anyone in tpot has had experience w (continual awareness thru sleep) and also sleep apnea?
New development for me - I'm maintaining awareness of breath, up to concious control of breath thru sleep, and not sure if this is gonna fix my apnea or fuck me up. ⬇️
It felt good, good to have the green light and know I wasn't suffocating. But also, I'm worried if I'll intervene too much and disrupt my sleep, and like won't enter low-breathing states that I'm naturally supposed to enter?
It's funny the amount of energy I put into asking people on first dates and swipin, when literally every single serious relationship I've ever had has been friends-to-lovers.
I love meeting friends siblings, it is like unlocking a hidden piece of their personality.
Ahhhh I see.. You are like THIS because she is like THAT.
What is this extremely mysterious neuron that set mechinterp going on a dead end for the last 3 years?
It's literally

interpretability might be the most important scientific problem in the world right now, as I don't think we can solve alignment if we don't know what we're building. I think I have good news about it. I co-authored early work in mechanistic interpretability at OpenAI and came away pessimistic, because neural networks appeared to fold into arbitrary tangled knots. years later, I started openai's first large-scale automated interpretability project, finding about 2% of neurons legible with the primitive tools we had
with modern agentic tools and a much closer look, the picture looks totally different. the vast majority in models up to trillions of parameters are legible, and their circuits beautiful. many famous examples of tangled neurons turned out to be misunderstood. The roadblocks I expected mostly aren't there. I now think ambitious interpretability will be solved by the time we need it most, and possibly quite soon, as automated scientists keep improving. it may be a bitter lesson for interpretability: the simple thing, at absurd scale, works

And for software developer - If you already had people hand-typing software, then it was useful to your business to pay X$ for Y amount of software in 2025, and devs in 2027 are 10x-100x more productive - arguably you could hire more!
Unless your software needs are very small
I think shit is going to be crazy, massive disruption waves in every industry, entire economy being remade, but I don't think we are going home at the end
