You actually have no way to know whether or not Astra "figured" it out, and the evidence is that it could have- if you had been bothered to read.
Was Qwen's model card in Astra's weights? Probably.
Can Astra also design networks *from scratch* to solve problems? Yes. Can it troubleshoot other problems using mechanistic interpretability? Yes.

So no, it's not like saying that. Your analogy is as dim-witted as you are.

That it's not named after one of the locations. Tamriel was pretty obviously cut up the way it was specifically to make it so they could make games like that and kind of have you going on a sort of virtual tour of their world. Then again Oblivion wasn't named after one of the locations. But then again it was kind of the weakest of the three games so...

I'm cautiously optimistic. I hope they don't AI slopify it. I want my freakish nightmares made in the character creator to be 100% human nightmares :)

Your emphasis is irrelevant.
The fact that the exemption is an affirmative defense does not change the meaning of the statute-
Your fair use rights, which derive from the first amendment, directly override copyright rights.
The fact that you have to assert them in court is meaningless.

My fair use can give me permission to use your copyrighted work.
Nothing about your copyrighted work can take away my fair use.

Ergo, and I quote:

I think you're being overly sensitive, and it's causing a dip in your ability to think critically.

What's newsworthy, is that the effective reasonbliteration was quarter-backed by an LLM, including the interpretability portion, and the modifications.
It did this to make a functional improvement to a specific metric after it was identified as the reason the metric was struggling.

The headline: MIT Researchers used GPT 6 Astra to edit Qwen's Open Weights Directly Boosting Math Scores is accurate.
Your proposed headline is also accurate, but it leaves out what's noteworthy and the goal.

You can run the network and see which activations consistently pop up with high values relative to a control set. You can then go and down weight them which can suppress the behaviour, for example.

That's exactly how it's done. It's a pretty old process for trying to hack out censorship from the models.
It works, but only kinda.

Weights are just scaling factors

Functionally incorrect. Roughly equivalent to saying, "Synapses are just chemical transmitters".

So why train then? If GPT-6 knows how an LLM's weights should be assigned, why are we not done?

Is this an actual question?
"Why do we practice for the game when we can just get some individual coaching on our 3-pointer?"

You really are a fucking idiot.

When photoshop came out, photographers were up in arms about how this would destroy their profession, but photoshop became a tool. I agree that AI can make people dependent and complacent as they rely on it too heavily, but it can also become an amazing tool that will empower people by doing the heavy lifting for them.

I'd love to agree that AI can in fact be a very incredible and useful tool for humanity.

I just have no fucking idea how you sustain general peace through the chaos of mass unemployment when Greed doesn't give a shit about planning beyond the next fiscal quarter. And welfare tends to define how "rich" people are under socialist programs that will be funded by the wealthy to keep the unemployables alive. Literally.

This isn't a cart before the horse problem. Greed just shot the horse, because horse shit. Now it's ignorantly staring at a salesbot, wondering why the cart isn't moving.

Interesting to finally see something that more credibly resembles recursive self improvement even though this was just low hanging fruit and they didn't technically complete the cycle. Still way better than the crazy rhetoric I've heard in the past out of AI companies who think AI generated code constitutes RSI.

Hopefully this trend using AI to jailbreak consumer electronics allows customers to customize their own media devices like these so they they serve the consumers rather than manufactures. Of course manufactures will move to counter this, but it will force them change even if it exposes how these devices are designed to exploit their owners.

Not merely letting AI learn about hacking, but actually teaching it to be a hacking accomplice.

Given how every human mind on the planet could be downgraded to fucking moron status by the end of the next AI development cycle, what could possibly go wrong?

Guess it doesn't really matter about SI or AGI. At the rate of natural decline being applied liberally, we'll be arguing with fellow meatsacks who want to promote Soylent Green because it's technically all-natural and 100% organic.

30 years ago you could sign up with an ISP and expect things like being able to host your own web server at home. Because outbound traffic wasn't being fingered, filtered, fucked, and fireNATted to death back then, for business-grade profits sake.

Now I'm supposed to believe every involved ISP who will detect your 'unauthorized' home web server packet attempt within milliseconds, is simply failing to detect the kind of malware fuckery that deploys across a million+ consumer endpoints for months?

Perhaps we follow ALL the money now. I don't like questioning the loyalty of those in charge of digital national security.

Let's also not forget that he's in the Epstein files and statements he made at the time suggest he knew exactly who Epstein was. Even if he didn't rape any children himself, he continued to be Epstein's friend.

You, are ranting about the sins of a single man.

I’m speaking to the literal future of your entire political party and ideology.

Democrat Feminists cheering on the Spank Me Daddy podcast whores are now the carriers of STDs in society. Lesbians now lead the divorce rate, proving how well they get along with themselves and how much ”toxic” masculinity isn’t and never was. Passport Bro mass migration is so rampant MGTOW country is asking for Statehood status now. Endless feminists ranting now about how men don’t approach them anymore. Relationship counselors quitting in droves. While no one dare question the liberal standard-issue prescription plan riddled with anti-depressants from following such a cheerful ideology, resulting in the kind of smooth-braining that defends the use of girl math. In bankruptcy court.

What exactly makes you think the 80% of men deemed “ugly” by feminist hypergamy standards, actually want to procreate and sustain THAT ideology and subsequent political party? I know girl math wants to believe otherwise, but abortion isn’t exactly a fucking strategy that wins.

You should have grasped reading comprehension a bit better in Learing school. Because conservative men stopped reading, listening, and pro-creating with the unaccountable liberal toxic feminism that has infected the Democrat party wholesale. If you were more accountable to your own party failures, you might realize why conservatives will eventually emerge to become the permanent victor by thy own hand.

(I’ll give your rant a little hint; it has FUCK ALL to do with Trump.)

To paraphrase Sun Tzu succinctly, Never interrupt your enemy when they’re busy eating themselves. Grab the popcorn instead.

We will never forget how Joe Bidens administration, purposely withheld the Epstein files. For years while in power. Enabling even more victims. Trump is bad at times, sure. But this isn’t about individuals. It’s demonstrably proven how the ideals of Democratic Socialist Communist supporters play out in every history book, every fucking time. We know who lives free under which ideologies, and who dies horribly under the boot of others.
