stephen is pathetic with his voting tbh. He could have won it all #TheTraitors #TheTraitorsUk

@malarkey Given up on Farage's plausible deniability style and just going for full on ostentatious far right

Traitors should have seduced Roxy - there's attention on her now, after the argy bargy with Harriet.
Although if they murder someone who has a shield everyone will think they recruited and start suspecting everyone. So it will probably fine for them whatever happens.

@emmachaplin.bsky.social Yes - although Harriet may have misstepped by speaking imperiously/rudely to Roxxy. Interpersonal conflict only leads to suspicion. Harriet had played last night and the initial breakfast speech so well - until she got annoyed with Roxy.

OMG and she came into breakfast firing on all four cylinders. I wonder if she went too hard on Roxy - even though Roxy was being an idiot and chipping in when she shouldn't have (like a child in an adult's conversation).

Harrier was AMAZING at the confession box. She has asked a question that forcedthe traitors to react to her. She has taken the initiative. She is extremely smart - and I rarely say this about anyone. #TheTraitors #TheTraitorsUk

@aaron.rupar protect the children by shooting their mums

@WhoAmI325 it did seem surprising. But then when we saw noone else vote for Rachel, it was clear she was reading the room and going with the room. It did make sense to me after the initial surprise.

Traitors should answer Matt 's question about seduction with "persuade the faithful to banish X and we will seduce you".

If he's desperate to be a traitor he will bite, and either turn the team against a good faithful and get them banished, or he will raise suspicion about himself and get himself banished.

Win win for #TheTraitors

Ugh I'm really not enjoying the idea that the secret traitor might simply replace the first banished traitor. I was really enjoying guessing who they might be. I had made a spreadsheet! I don't want to simply be shown the secret traitor after two nights. #TheTraitors

@Devonkiwi yep that was hilarious. And still twisting the knife further - "you've not addressed any of the points I made".

Harriet's speech against Hugo was masterful. Very of the courtroom. She laid out some points clearly. Paused, to allow the points to sink in. Then concluded. And Hugo wilted under the pressure. Amazing to see. #TheTraitors

The "UNIX v4 tape" running in simh PDP11 emu on IRIX:

I doubt that anything resembling genuine "artificial general intelligence" is within reach of current #AI tools. However, I think a weaker, but still quite valuable, type of "artificial general cleverness" is becoming a reality in various ways.

By "general cleverness", I mean the ability to solve broad classes of complex problems via somewhat ad hoc means. These means may be stochastic or the result of brute force computation; they may be ungrounded or fallible; and they may be either uninterpretable, or traceable back to similar tricks found in an AI's training data. So they would not qualify as the result of any true "intelligence". And yet, they can have a non-trivial success rate at achieving an increasingly wide spectrum of tasks, particularly when coupled with stringent verification procedures to filter out incorrect or unpromising approaches, at scales beyond what individual humans could achieve.

This results in the somewhat unintuitive combination of a technology that can be very useful and impressive, while simultaneously being fundamentally unsatisfying and disappointing - somewhat akin to how one's awe at an amazingly clever magic trick can dissipate (or transform to technical respect) once one learns how the trick was performed.

But perhaps this can be resolved by the realization that while cleverness and intelligence are somewhat correlated traits for humans, they are much more decoupled for AI tools (which are often optimized for cleverness), and viewing the current generation of such tools primarily as a stochastic generator of sometimes clever - and often useful - thoughts and outputs may be a more productive perspective when trying to use them to solve difficult problems.

As a disabled person, I aspire to be the person the DWP think I am.
