Now if only Apple would stop fucking up perfectly^W reasonably good standards - that'd be nice!

Holy fuck 4K display SLAPS.

@nikitonsky was right all along!

That was Suno v3. Unfortunately v4 got better at musicifying prose, but arguably worse for working with verse. Also the sound got more bland, so v4 "remasters" are at best different arrangements.

I hope the upcoming models would pareto-improve and perhaps the 3rd album would be spectacular.

This is how you do 1 Apr pranks right: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/YMo5PuXnZDwRjhHhE/lesswrong-s-first-album-i-have-been-a-good-bing

> Honestly, despite it starting out as an April fools joke, it's a really good album. We made probably 3,000-4,000 song generations to get the 15 we felt happy about, which I think works out to about 5-10 hours of work per song we used (including all the dead ends and things that never worked out)

Am I doing this right?..

I'm done with looking at the bullshit evals that give high scores to the toddler-level systems or woo the audience with cookie-cutting skills.

Who wants to join forces and make a new #Haskell / #Rust / #Prolog (?) benchmark so we can cyberbully the new models and "AI coders" as they come out?

New Google model. Even better than everything. Completely failed at simple Haskell task by hallucinating a ton of crap

My new logging levels

"Reality has a surprising amount of detail" -- a model is **always** out of distribution in real world. Always.

Ugh... I'm... Actually, I'm amazed how good this is, if you treat it like some conceptualist piece

Homeopathy is deeply unethical

The method of invoking the water memory is exceptionally problematic. The water had been in *terrible* places. It witnessed... things... It carries an incomprehensible levels of trauma.

And you invoke it to what? To cure a cold what would pass by itself in a few days? How dare you!

LLM-generated docs be like

```python
def wiggle_bottom(self, amplitude: float, phase: float) -> RC:
"""This function would wiggle the bottom. It takes the following arguments: amplitude (a double-precision floating point value according to ieee734 standard) and phase (also a double-precision floating point value formetted to ieee734). As a result it would provide a remote controller."""
```

You'd better go learn some #Ithkuil as the planet devolves into a complete clownshow
