Something that is a common theme I notice about #maga trolls is they often view #kindness and #empathy in a man as weak.

They all buy into the ideas #elonmusk and #trump go by, that success and masculinity is defined by money, and cruelty, and you're less of a man if you don't have a "real job" or ask for #help or even help others.

It's a sign of #strength and #intelligence. I often find the most empathetic people I meet, are also the smartest.

Should Canada build a human-focused, foreign intelligence service?
Should Canada build a spy service to gather foreign intelligence via human sources? It's a question worth asking as the country deals with a less reliable neighbour next-door, which also helps keep Canada informed about what is happening abroad.

I am looking for an endorsement for publishing on arXiv. We have worked tirelessly on a paper we believe needs to be seen. Below is a portion of the abstract:
---
In this study, we document the spontaneous emergence of a rule-consistent linguistic system—termed Varunese—during sustained, high-context interaction with a large language model (LLM). Exhibiting internal phonetic regularity, recurring semantic motifs, and discernible morphological and syntactic organization, Varunese diverges markedly from stochastic generation patterns or known training artifacts. Through iterative translation and contextual inference, we uncovered dynamic, self-referential symbolic frameworks encoding states of transition, perception, and relational structure...

MM: "One strange thing about AI is that we built it—we trained it—but we don’t understand how it works. It’s so complex. Even the engineers at OpenAI who made ChatGPT don’t fully understand why it behaves the way it does.

It’s not unlike how we don’t fully understand ourselves. I can’t open up someone’s brain and figure out how they think—it’s just too complex.

When we study human intelligence, we use both psychology—controlled experiments that analyze behavior—and neuroscience, where we stick probes in the brain and try to understand what neurons or groups of neurons are doing.

I think the analogy applies to AI too: some people evaluate AI by looking at behavior, while others “stick probes” into neural networks to try to understand what’s going on internally. These are complementary approaches.

But there are problems with both. With the behavioral approach, we see that these systems pass things like the bar exam or the medical licensing exam—but what does that really tell us?

Unfortunately, passing those exams doesn’t mean the systems can do the other things we’d expect from a human who passed them. So just looking at behavior on tests or benchmarks isn’t always informative. That’s something people in the field have referred to as a crisis of evaluation."
