@MiddleOfMayhem This is too far. He hasn't made a good film since Jurassic Park the original and he has never made a great film.

Hot take: Steven Spielberg hasn't made a "great" film since "Munich" in 2005. My full review of "Disclosure Day": youtube.com/watch?v=aLT4Qj…

@HiddenYorkshire People don't need "media literacy" - the job of the director is to make them feel the thing.

I'm not claiming Disclosure Day to be a masterpiece, but some of the criticism is excessive and reveals a basic lack of media literacy. Someone is recalling a traumatic childhood event where they were visited by strange creatures and it's set in a fairy tale cottage where the CGI looks weird? What do you think that might mean? Does it mean the studio couldn't afford good CGI, or was it trying to tell you something about the way we process traumatic childhood events which we don't understand? Use your brain a little. A lot of the criticism is from people simply refusing to engage with the film on its level and being outraged that they don't understand what it's trying to say. In some ways, you have to have a pretty high level of esoteric alien knowledge to really get all the meanings.

@IntuitMachine Outmaneuvered themselves right to the dog house 😂

Anthropic is likely using its AI to predict and out maneuver the US govt. What does the gov,'t use? Influencers on X?!

@paulg Ugh hate how obsessed everyone is with me 💅

One thing you don't realize till you have haters is that haters are also stalkers. They're obsessed with you, and in practice this obsessiveness is more disturbing than the nastiness of what they actually say. It's so creepy.

@SamJWasserman Did AI write this or is it just you've internalized AI voice so aptly we can't tell?

The breakthrough in AI film is not “press button, get movie.” It’s iteration speed. More versions, faster feedback, cheaper experiments. That does not kill craft. It raises the bar for what's possible.

@segyges Finally, the first sign ever of a savvy move by Anthropic

noticing that dario is not on the list of people who are currently in dc

@Aella_Girl Talking her book

imo the ethical move, if you're a wife in a monogamous marriage who doesn't want sex with your husband, is to allow him to see escorts.

@tupacabra Just Harvard things

I swear to God this is NOT ai.

@himbodhisattva I do, just my own opinion

@electric_faces assume I am very familiar with critiques of rationalism

what the fuck is the point of having rationalists in control if they haven't read the sequences read "rationalism is systematized winning" again and again until it syncs in guys

@powerbottomdad1 It's even crazier they think they can somehow wait out Trump when their own prophets say they only have 2 years lmao

@0x49fa98 Exactly, and same thing with aliens. Yes they are fake, no I don't care, if Trump says we need an alliance with the Galactic Command then I'm all for it.

@tupacabra "So how many times have you been to prison?"

Avi Loeb talks to a thicc white ambassador about Asstar Command.

@OwenBenjamin Also his acting is nowhere near as good as pretended. It's good for a midget

Fuck Peter Dinklage. He’s a nasty spiteful little dwarf.

@lulumeservey He wrote it himself... and it is some of the worst writing put on this site in weeks.

Satya wrote this article himself, in contrast to a lot of the AI-generated responses Dario’s essays, roon’s tweets, Noam Brown’s posts, all slop-free too A counterintuitive measure of AI fluency is knowing how not to overrely on it

@fchollet I'm not in favor of AI regulation, I'm in favor of my team winning at any and all costs because the alternative is a 1k year lib dystopia and we will not stand for it.

Even if you are in favor of AI regulation, you should recognize that opaque and arbitrary regulatory strikes are counter-productive for the whole industry.

@MatthewBerman No, because Sam Altman is savvy and will know how to respond to government officials lmao

why would openai release their next model right now? they've been claiming their next model (and current models) are as good as fable at cyber. so if they release their model while fable is offline, all attention will be on them and people will ask why their model is allowed to be used by foreign nationals. so either the model isn't as good, or fable should be public right now.

@eugyppius1 All safetyism is my enemy

In past years I tried once or twice to point out that people like Jonathan Haidt were peddling a thesis about social media being harmful to kids that was a) empirically pretty poorly established, and b) highly likely to be used by our enemies in ways like this.

@AltCulture Lmao he's disabled now DONT DO AN ABLEISM

What I see is a bunch of third rate commentators making fun of an autistic CEO for how he marketed his product rather than being alarmed that the government could shut it down without warning.

@jaystratton Sorry Jay, Disclosure is now about getting the local TV station to bring alien guests into the studio

Disclosure isn’t just about information. It’s about people and how they process it.
