Today @ConcordanceAI is open sourcing our modified inference engine for token-level interventions, alongside an injection playground and supporting research on steering LLMs.

We find that token injection is indeed a viable steering mechanism, in certain cases marginally outperforming user prompting in effectiveness that we explore in our research.
The Concordance engine goes beyond simpler token injection methods by stacking several primitives together including:

Force Tokens
Adjust Logits
Backtrack

This allows for multi step injections, find & replace, and structured outputs, occurring at a various points in the generation stream, not just the beginning.

Here is an example of injecting a "double check" steering sentence: research.concordance.co/share/request/…Image
The experimental surface area for inference-time interventions as a new steering vector is huge, and we lack the time, resources, and creativity to explore it in its entirety.

So we are open sourcing the engine, backend, frontend, and SDK in the hopes that some may find this direction worth continuing to explore.

Private equity firms are sitting on $2.8 TRILLION in uninvested capital.
That's double the 2015 level.
Everyone thinks this is a sign of strength.
It's actually a ticking time bomb.
Here's why 🧵
Dry powder = committed capital that hasn't been deployed yet.
PE firms are in a trap:
Can't invest at good prices (everything still priced for zero rates)
Can't return capital to LPs (would admit they can't find deals)
So they sit... and charge 2% management fees.
In 2023 alone, PE firms raised $600 billion globally.
Despite having nearly $3 trillion already sitting idle.
Despite exit markets being frozen.
Despite 2020-2021 vintage funds tracking toward terrible returns.
The money machine keeps running.

🧵What if the West tried to cap silver while China trades +$20/oz?Image
1/
What happens if the West keeps “spot” suppressed while China trades +$20/oz higher?

That spread isn’t a market condition. It’s a vacuum cleaner. 🧲🥈
2/
A $20/oz premium is a flashing sign to every producer, refiner, wholesaler:

“Sell physical here, not there.”
Metal flows to the highest bid. Always. 🌏➡️🇨🇳

Former Attorney General Ed Meese has submitted an amicus brief in the birthright citizenship case before SCOTUS.

"Congress’s deliberate exclusion of certain groups from birthright citizenship reflected its understanding of jurisdiction. The framers recognized that 'territorial' jurisdiction, the obligation to obey American laws while present in the United States, was insufficient to confer citizenship. Instead, they focused on 'political' jurisdiction, which requires a complete and enduring allegiance to the United States."

"...The principle that citizenship required something more than mere temporary or local allegiance was a well-established concept in 19th-century legal thought...The framers of the Fourteenth Amendment were aware of these legal traditions and crafted the Citizenship Clause to reflect this fundamental principle. Their intent was to prevent the automatic grant of citizenship to individuals who lacked the requisite citizen-like allegiance to the United States."Image
AG Meese: "Like foreign diplomats and temporary visitors, unauthorized aliens remain subject to the political jurisdiction of their home countries. Their presence in the United States does not signify a complete severance of allegiance to their countries of origin."
AG Meese challenges the "conventional wisdom" regarding SCOTUS' ruling in Wong Kim Ark:

"This case addressed a specific and narrow legal question: whether a child born in the United States to lawful permanent residents of Chinese descent was entitled to citizenship under the Fourteenth Amendment. It did not, despite the conventional wisdom over decades, reach the question whether children born to parents illegally present in the United States were entitled to citizenship under the Fourteenth Amendment."Image

Towe v. Cherokee Health Systems

Corey Towe is one of many victims of gender medicine. In 2022, he paid the ultimate price, taking his own life, just eight months after a single telephone call with a counselor led to him being put on cross-sex hormone therapy. In 2024, his parents, Shawn and Karen Towe, sued Cherokee Health Systems for wrongful death and negligence.

As a patient with mental co-morbidities whose parents were in the Medicaid system, Corey was one of the most vulnerable members of our society - and he was failed by the very people pledged to help him.

The facts of this case, which are laid out in the thread below with screenshots from the pleadings, are at the same time shocking and, at least to those who follow gender medicine, mundane. Corey's patient records are almost nothing but red flags. Several people attempted to intervene, including Corey's father and even the insurance company, but once the cross-sex hormone treatments were started, it seems that nothing, short of death, could stop them.Image
Corey had been a patient of Cherokee Health since he was toddler. Cherokee is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), meaning it receives subsidies under the Public Health Services Act to provide healthcare low income communities. They are found in both urban and rural areas. A significant portion of the care they provide is paid for by Medicaid.

Corey was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome at the age of 3 ½, then, later, with ASD, Intermittent Explosive Disorder, ADHD, Dissociative Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and Major Depression. He was never able to live on his own and required the care of his parents.Image
Corey was over six feet tall and over 200 pounds. As he aged, he became violent and a significant burden on his parents. He first mentioned suicidal thoughts at the age of 16. By this time he was already on Abilify and Methylphenidate. Image

Ok, I see tons of spoogie disinformation, including supposedly some on our side who think Trump "lost" in several developments. Nope. He won every one.

1) In the NON PUBLIC meeting with Tampon Timmy and Freybread, Trump came out and SAID WHAT THEY AGREED TO.
2) Now like a good lawyer, he has them "On record." They can LATER claim they didn't say that, but too late. Trump already gained the narrative and will urge ICE on saying "Walz promised support."

3) Whatever he does, Waltz loses as he is either a liar or ineffective.
4) Then you have these goobergrillers who think that sending Bovino back to the Border (ah, you do know he is the head of the Border Patrol, not ICE, right?) is weakness.

5) Bovino is the equivalent of a colonel or a one-star general. He was replaced by a three-start, Homan.

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, “This is supposed to be International Holocaust Day, but it has been ruined for me.

Why, because the world, specifically the European part of the world, seems to have chosen to distort why the Holocaust happened and what it means.
1)
And they have cheapened the term almost to meaninglessness. Everything today in the European media is a Holocaust, just as the word ‘genocide’ has been misused, making it impossible to understand what the Holocaust was really about.
2)
The European Holocaust was about this: a specific people, the Jews, a people who threatened no one else, a people who simply wanted to be allowed to live in peace, was singled out, restricted, denied human rights, persecuted, isolated, hunted, and

When you see videos of anti-ICE agitators swarming our officers and agents in Minneapolis, MN, just know… this is who they’re trying to protect.

Below are some of the WORST of the worst we’ve arrested and taken out of MN neighborhoods to protect American families:

Dating people with narcissistic tendencies is one of the leading cause of almost every health issue we see.

Few people connect health issues to relationships.

But the connection is research based:
At the root of narcissistic behavior, is a complete avoidance of emotional intimacy. This makes them unpredictable and inconsistent with their word. But they are often emotional chameleons, able to give people an illusion of what they want.
Sometimes they're loving and highly affectionate. And other times they're cold, shut down, and sometimes cruel. When meeting someone with narcissistic tendencies, we can feel like we've finally met the perfect person.
