On January 5th, 2025, we lost our friend Mike Rinder to his battle with esophageal cancer. Mike was a friend of the pod, fierce fighter again coercive control and abuse, and a advocate for all cult survivors. The legacy he built will live on and continue to help and inspire survivors to come. We will miss you Mike! COBSCOHB From the Vault! December 2022: *Content Warning : We do talk a bit about the Danny Masterson SA case, as well as other abuses of Scientology. Please use discretion when listening.* Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah Hunbots and Hunbros! Welcome to Day 7 of Holiday Magic! I am so excited for this chat, because not only is it my first ever Scientology episode, it's with none other than my friend, Mike Rinder! Go big or go home, amirite? In our chat we talk about the early days of Mike's CoS experience, his new book A Billion Years, and what it was like to work under both LRH and the COB. There's so much Scientology speak, you're just going to have to listen. There is an additional AMA included with Mike from the Patreon episode and we get a bit deeper into his thoughts on Scientology, who's more culty and what happened to his and Leah's podcast, Scientology: Fair Game!

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: The 'strong' feature hypothesis could be wrong, published by lewis smith on August 2, 2024 on The AI Alignment Forum. NB. I am on the Google Deepmind language model interpretability team. But the arguments/views in this post are my own, and shouldn't be read as a team position. "It would be very convenient if the individual neurons of artificial neural networks corresponded to cleanly interpretable features of the input. For example, in an "ideal" ImageNet classifier, each neuron would fire only in the presence of a specific visual feature, such as the color red, a left-facing curve, or a dog snout" Elhage et. al, Toy Models of Superposition Recently, much attention in the field of mechanistic interpretability, which tries to explain the behavior of neural networks in terms of interactions between lower level components, has been focussed on extracting features from the representation space of a model. The predominant methodology for this has used variations on the sparse autoencoder, in a series of papers inspired by Elhage et. als. model of superposition.It's been conventionally understood that there are two key theories underlying this agenda. The first is the 'linear representation hypothesis' (LRH), the hypothesis that neural networks represent many intermediates or variables of the computation (such as the 'features of the input' in the opening quote) as linear directions in it's representation space, or atoms[1]. And second, the theory that the network is capable of representing more of these 'atoms' than it has dimensions in its representation space, via superposition (the superposition hypothesis). While superposition is a relatively uncomplicated hypothesis, I think the LRH is worth examining in more detail. It is frequently stated quite vaguely, and I think there are several possible formulations of this hypothesis, with varying degrees of plausibility, that it is worth carefully distinguishing between. For example, the linear representation hypothesis is often stated as 'networks represent features of the input as directions in representation space'. Here are two importantly different ways to parse this: 1. (Weak LRH) some or many features used by neural networks are represented as atoms in representation space 2. (Strong LRH) all (or the vast majority of) features used by neural networks are represented by atoms. The weak LRH I would say is now well supported by considerable empirical evidence. The strong form is much more speculative: confirming the existence of many linear representations does not necessarily provide strong evidence for the strong hypothesis. Both the weak and the strong forms of the hypothesis can still have considerable variation, depending on what we understand by a feature and the proportion of the model we expect to yield to analysis, but I think that the distinction between just a weak and strong form is clear enough to work with. I think that in addition to the acknowledged assumption of the LRH and superposition hypotheses, much work on SAEs in practice makes the assumption that each atom in the network will represent a "simple feature" or a "feature of the input". These features that the atoms are representations of are assumed to be 'monosemantic': they will all stand for features which are human interpretable in isolation. I will call this the monosemanticity assumption. This is difficult to state precisely, but we might formulate it as the theory that every represented variable will have a single meaning in a good description of a model. This is not a straightforward assumption due to how imprecise the notion of a single meaning is. While various more or less reasonable definitions for features are discussed in the pioneering work of Elhage, these assumptions have different implications. For instance, if one thinks of 'feat...

Imagine walking in the shoes of a child born and bred in the cloistered world of Scientology. This is the fascinating journey we explore with our friend, Dylan Gill, who spent seven years in the Church's Sea Organization and encountered the enigmatic figure, Shelly Miscavige. Dylan's early life was marked by rigorous Scientology courses, door-to-door selling of Dianetics books, and an environment that bred fear and paranoia. The tales he shares with us are a remarkable insight into a world few of us can truly comprehend.As we delve deeper, Dylan recounts the solemn atmosphere surrounding LRH's death and the emotional repression that ensued. He gives us a behind-the-scenes look into the intricate dynamics of the Church, the systems it employed to identify effective members and the subsequent transformation it underwent after LRH's demise. Shifting locale from Florida to Los Angeles, Dylan elucidates his time working for the Church of Spiritual Technology's (CST) LRH Archives project, a monumental endeavor to collect every piece of handwritten correspondence, tape recording, and original document from LRH.The narrative's intensity amplifies as Dylan and his wife Bronwyn are dispatched to Happy Valley for hard labor and security checks, leading them into a life of seclusion and segregation. Dylan's candor is on full display as he relays his distressing experiences at the Rehabilitation Project Force (RPF), where he was treated more like a guilty prisoner than an active member of the Church. Despite engulfing fear and terror, Dylan found the courage to escape and start anew, his story serving as an inspiration to all. Come join us on this insightful journey into the heart of a fiercely debated religion, through the eyes of one who lived to tell the tale.Support the showBFG Store - http://blownforgood-shop.fourthwall.com/Blown For Good on Audible - https://www.amazon.com/Blown-for-Good-Marc-Headley-audiobook/dp/B07GC6ZKGQ/ref=tmm_aud_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=Blown For Good Website: http://blownforgood.com/PODCAST INFO:Podcast website: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2131160/shareApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/blown-for-good-behind-the-iron-curtain-of-scientology/id1671284503 Spotify: ...
My journey from 17 years old college wrestler through drug addiction and PhD science researcher, musician and yogi. Finally coming to self-help and social dynamics as a subject of interest and passion. When I came across AZD I realized the world class qualities I could make the most use out of in this lifetime. Early when learning from AZD he would mention L Ron Hubbard LRH and Scientology so I began to read what he recommended. Years later it began to make sense to me. And now living with AZD in IMC Base One and running IMC Nation I see how vital the writings of LRH are to living the kind of urban monk player's lifestyle that makes IMC Nation known to the world. WE ACTUALLY HAVE THE SOLUTIONS TO THE MIND and we're using the MOST underrated and undereducated subject on Earth today - male female social dynamics and mating a.k.a. dating and relationships. Now I would recommend to any ardent student of IMC Nation to read Ethics and Dianetics from LRH. It took me four years to finish. Good luck.

Ron Hubbard. Rinder left Scientology and now exposes some of the incredibly ruthless abuses allegedly perpetrated by Scientology's current leader, David Miscavige.

From 1982 to 2007, Rinder served on the church's board of directors was executive director of its international Office of Special Affairs directing the legal and public relations matters of Scientology.

No ano de 1950, o escritor de ficção científica L. Ron Hubbard publicou um livro intitulado "Dianética: A Ciência Moderna da Saúde Mental". Imediato sucesso de público, apesar de rechaçado pela comunidade médica e científica, o livro prometia curar o corpo e a alma de seus pacientes a partir de práticas simples e revolucionárias. Não demorou muito para que o movimento criado por LRH se tornasse algo ainda maior. Nascia assim, em 1953, a Cientologia, religião que capturou a atenção da mídia ao longo das décadas seguintes por suas práticas duvidosas e sua extensa lista de adeptos entre as celebridades de Hollywood. Nos arriscando a tomar o famoso "processinho" em busca da verdade, o RdMCast de hoje expõe todos os podres da religião/culto/esquema de pirâmide mais famosa e sinistra de Hollywood. Quer descobrir como deixar de ser uma pessoa supressiva, atingir o nível "Teta Operante III" e ainda ser convidado para uma festinha privada do Tom Cruise? Então dê o play neste episódio porque ele foi feito especialmente pra você! O RdMCast é produzido e apresentado por: Thiago Natário, Gabi Larocca, Gabriel Braga.

this time around we have a little chin-wag about one of the worst movies ever made: Battfield Earth - it's bizarre prose, it's excessive use of the dutch angle and the underpinning of Scientology undergirding the whole project that apparently really wasn't that big of a deal honest. oh also, LRH organised a soundtrack made, but for the book the film is based on ? kinda sounds like a Space Quest soundtrack, which isn't strictly a bad thing

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.09.01.278291v1?rss=1 Authors: Mays, S. G., D'Agostino, E. H., Flynn, A. R., Huang, X., Wang, G., Liu, X., Millings, E. J., Okafor, C. D., Patel, A., Cato, M. L., Cornelison, J. L., Melchers, D., Houtman, R., Moore, D. D., Calvert, J. W., Jui, N. T., Ortlund, E. A. Abstract: As ligands for nuclear hormone receptors (NRs), phosphatidylcholines are powerful signaling molecules. Here, we demonstrate that mimicking phosphatidylcholine-NR interactions is a robust strategy for improving agonists of liver receptor homolog-1 (LRH-1), a promising therapeutic target for diabetes and colitis. Conventional LRH-1 modulators only occupy part of the binding pocket, leaving vacant a region important for phosphatidylcholine binding and allostery. Therefore, we constructed a set of hybrid molecules that incorporate elements of natural phosphatidylcholines into the scaffold of a synthetic LRH-1 agonist. The phosphatidylcholine-mimicking group increases LRH-1 binding affinity and transcriptional activity via formation of productive interactions with residues that coordinate the phosphatidylcholine headgroup. In organoid and in vivo models of colitis, the best new agonist upregulates LRH-1-controlled anti-inflammatory genes and significantly improves colonic histopathology and disease-related weight loss. This is the first evidence of in vivo efficacy for an LRH-1 modulator in colitis, a leap forward in agonist development. Copy rights belong to original authors. Visit the link for more info
