gpt 5.4 is maybe slightly worse or within random variance levels than 5.2 at zero shot Lakota/English translation. So I don’t think they added any more Lakota to the training data between these two releases

scraping historical Dakota/Lakota translation texts to create some evals for flagship LLMs, which I understand to still be terrible at working in these particular low resource languages but i was challenged to produce some data about this so ... firing up my coding agents

Watching “The Beauty” on Hulu, about an STI bioweapon that makes you young and pretty like The Substance. The fact that every commercial break is full of ads for GLP-1s and boner and hair pills is almost too on the nose but I guess we’re in post-ironic times. It’s ya boi

just sat in on an Indigenous Data Sovereignty + AI webinar to learn more about how these issues are being discussed. A lot of the time, we're conflating more generic data governance issues with the more cultural AI and Language issues, and this is making it hard to think about them both. It's ya boi

Two diagrams juxtaposed: the Speculative Futuring ‘Cone of Possibilities’ (Dunne & Raby) showing nested, orderly layers of possible, preferred, probable, and plausible futures expanding from the present — paired with Anthropic’s misalignment scaling diagram, which uses a nearly identical cone shape but dissolves into tangled, divergent reasoning paths as model intelligence and task complexity increase. The visual rhyme suggests the tidy futures cone is an idealized version of what is actually a chaotic branching process.
Productive misalignment

@taylorwwebb.bsky.social i had a crackpot idea that the whole "life flashing before your eyes" phenomenon of near death experiences sort of resembles this thing the Claude Code agent does when the context window is about to run out, /compact context summary for the next instance. silly?? its ya boi

interested in frameworks of indigenous data sovereignty as it may apply to AI and language because mostly I have seen it discussed around biologics and personal/administrative/health data or Traditional Knowledge. Anyway AI kind of makes data-sov everyone’s issue. It’s ya boi
A prairie scene with a herd of buffalo with blue glowing ear tags and a silo in the background decorated with tribal motifs. A hover-bike personal quadcopter with solar panels looms behind.
