It is ghastly how the UK has failed at having its own LLM companies. By doing so it has become irrelevant in the AI race. How do we fix this? @nickclegg @UKParliament France has @MistralAI

Good point @TacoCohen
. Thanks. Have you seen the rubber hand illusion? It is remarkable how fast we can be made to think the hand is ours, when obviously it isn't. What are your thoughts on this in relation to what we are discussing? -

Self-Awareness in RL Agents: Architecture and AI Safety
By

Token Role Markers Enable Context Attribution in LLM Chatbots
By
–
We convert LLMs into chatbots by using markers, eg User and Assistant: User: What's the capital of France?
Assistant: Paris.
User: What did I just say? the "I just said" attribution works because the tokens are cleanly labeled with role markers. But strip the markers and -

Remarkable progress in coding agents. I like the fact that code is verifiable, and hence great for building robust systems. This is something @notmisha championed to me a while back – he was ahead of his time https://
