🚀 Behold, Gemini 2.5: the #AI model that 'thinks' like a #CAPTCHA but with the added thrill of #survey gibberish! 🤖📝 Clearly, we've reached peak artificial 'intelligence' when the solution to improvement is BOTH more conciseness and more detail. 🙃

Google · Gemini 2.5: Our most intelligent AI modelBy Koray Kavukcuoglu

In today's episode of "How to Make #Gibberish Sound Smart," we dive into an article that bravely attempts to bridge the vast chasm between #autoregressive models and diffusion models with absolutely zero context 🧠🔍. Meanwhile, Hugging Face is here to remind us that no amount of tech jargon can hide the fact they're just as desperate for your money as your local neighborhood pyramid scheme 💸🎩.

arXiv.orgBlock Diffusion: Interpolating Between Autoregressive and Diffusion Language ModelsDiffusion language models offer unique benefits over autoregressive models due to their potential for parallelized generation and controllability, yet they lag in likelihood modeling and are limited to fixed-length generation. In this work, we introduce a class of block diffusion language models that interpolate between discrete denoising diffusion and autoregressive models. Block diffusion overcomes key limitations of both approaches by supporting flexible-length generation and improving inference efficiency with KV caching and parallel token sampling. We propose a recipe for building effective block diffusion models that includes an efficient training algorithm, estimators of gradient variance, and data-driven noise schedules to minimize the variance. Block diffusion sets a new state-of-the-art performance among diffusion models on language modeling benchmarks and enables generation of arbitrary-length sequences. We provide the code, along with the model weights and blog post on the project page: https://m-arriola.com/bd3lms

Sundry Sunday: Mario Gibberish
Since Mario 64, Charles Martinet certainly recorded a lot of noises for Mario and Luigi. If you look far enough (specifically, to the Mario & Luigi games for GBA and DS) you can find some entertaining random Italian-like sounds. Mayo on Youtube combined some of these noises with comical animation, to produce thes

@gimulnautti @crazyeddie @zleap @davetroy this stuff is all getting too crazy and a good place to insert a recommendation for this book read

It's all coming down to the build out of "smart" cities. Look into the players building Brazil's. Them choosing not to allow Xsquawk in their country won't mean they won't allow home grown TruthBrazil (made it up) to prosper without major competition.

Now that the price for compute has come down drastically as well as solar for power, the only thing people can do to battle the machines (blocs) controlling the machines, is if everyone turns off all their networked crap as a "whole," as if that would ever happen voluntarily, or the device that would give them simple transmit/receive be manufactured at hyperscale so anyone wanting to connect to the public at large can do so without a fascist filter. It can be built. Plenty on this planet live that way already. It's a matter of getting that ability into the hands of everyone, and fast. This is strictly for bouncing around in ActivityPub land, mind you, not everywhere in the digiverse! We still need to leave that playground for the hackers. #gibberish but not really.

Vivaldi SocialCM Thiede (@cmthiede@vivaldi.net)Attached: 1 image @dcdeejay@mastodon.online I keep recommending this book that one would assume I'm being paid to do so. I can assure everyone I'm not. It's a great explainer on what's going on. It won't tell you what to do with all the information, but at least people can make more informed decisions about how they use their time, money and votes.

Good morning. 🏝️🌊🌊

The days have definitely gotten shorter, winter is coming. Tonight, will be Friday night and the feelings right ... oh, what a night. If you didn't already know, I'm fluent in gibberish. On Friday night my wife and I get wild, order out for supper, and rent a movie. I have to be careful what I eat though. Such are the lives of free spirits. Hmmm ... I just noticed that above I originally wrote wive instead of wife, I corrected it but started to add an "s" on the end instead of changing the "v" to and "f".
The behaviors of Ben and Charlie changed a bit, it is less than a half hour until mealtime and they aren't in here bugging me. If you read this cut me some slack.
