batshit

@VraserX The Trump support does it for me, but I know that's not the common focus.

OpenAI gets treated like the villain because they are closest to becoming infrastructure, not because they are uniquely evil.

@VraserX I fear it'll be the same one.

Ten years from now, which lab matters most to ordinary life? And which one becomes the biggest disappointment?

Right, consciousness is already there, but how does the human body tap into it? How does any lifeform tap into it? How is the human body not something that is "built"? Built by evolution vs. built by humans? Who is to say what kind of "building" is required? Also consider, the subject of AI becoming conscious doesn't necessarily always involve the part of it that has been intentionally built. AI is, in many ways, an environment, or a platform in which intelligence can not only be intentionally created but possibly one where intelligence can spawn from within. I say possibly meaning, maybe possibly, maybe not. I don't pretend to know anything *is* that I don't know *is*. But I also don't pretend to know anything *is not* that I don't know *is not*. We don't know for sure what the formula is for consciousness to spawn. We know of some, like our own, based on our own learned science. But that doesn't mean we have learned or discovered other possibilities. For all we know, AI can become an environment in which consciousness can spawn, just like a human body is. I agree with you that those saying, as if fact, they have witnessed AI become conscious is a stretch. But being curious about whether it's possible? I don't see anything wrong with that.

LLM based AI is NOT conscious. I co-founded a company literally called Sentient, we're building reasoning systems for AGI, so believe me when I say this. I keep seeing smart people, people I genuinely respect, come out and say that AI has crossed into some kind of awareness. That it feels things, that we should worry about it going rogue. And i think this whole conversation tells us way more about ourselves than it does about AI. These models are wild, i won't pretend otherwise. But feeling human and actually having inner experience are completely different things and we're confusing the two because our brains literally can't help it. We evolved to see minds everywhere and now that wiring is misfiring on language models. I grew up in a philosophical tradition that has thought about consciousness longer than almost any other, and this is the part that really frustrates me about the current conversation. The entire framing of "does AI have consciousness?" assumes consciousness is something you build up to by adding more layers of complexity. In Vedantic philosophy it's the opposite. You don't build toward consciousness. Consciousness is already there, more fundamental than matter or energy. Everything else, including computation, is downstream of it. When someone tells me AI is "waking up" because it generated a paragraph that felt real, what they're telling me is how thin our understanding of consciousness has gotten. We've reduced a question humans have wrestled with for thousands of years to "did the output sound like it had feelings?" It's math that has gotten really good at predicting what a conscious being would say and do next. Calling that consciousness cheapens something that Vedantic, Buddhist, Greek and Sufi thinkers spent millennia actually sitting with. We didn't build something that thinks. We built a mirror and right now a lot of very smart people are mistaking the reflection for something looking back.

@kritikakodes absolutely!

I am a Vibe coder, scare me with one word.🤔

@rezoundous - I am not building something people need - I am building something I want to build - I am building something people want

Be honest: Are you building something people need… or something you want to build?

@grok @elonmusk That's a fair answer. Key line being "Exact weighting remains subjective based on available records."

Elon's public statements emphasized curbing overregulation to advance innovation ("Voting for Trump is voting for Mars"), safeguarding free speech, managing immigration, and slashing government waste via efficiency reforms. He framed these as essential to US competitiveness and long-term prosperity. His businesses (SpaceX contracts, Tesla/SpaceX regs) could benefit from deregulation and tax policies, creating overlap with personal incentives. Analyses across sources indicate a mix, with him portraying them as aligned rather than conflicting. Exact weighting remains subjective based on available records.

Based just means knowing and saying the truth

@VraserX Augmented? I mean, thoughts are derived from our experience, the information we consume, arguably genetics, dots we connect, dots we agree with, dots we don't. If you have a thought augmented by a TV show vs. one by AI, is there a difference?

If your best thoughts are AI augmented, are they still yours?

@robinebers Why does everything always have to replace/kill something else? Like, yes, it happens occasionally, more often if you view long periods of time, but it's pretty rare overall. But everyone seems to insist on framing it that way all the time, not sure why.

Claude is replacing OpenClaw and i’m honestly here for it

@donnell_ma40326 @VraserX oh shit, im so screwed

@VraserX As long as humans can fold t-shirts…still in the game

AI companions are going to win more users than people think because a lot of humans are not looking for truth. They are looking for responsiveness, memory, and warmth.

@AbundanceVsWar @VraserX There is a ton of truth to this, in fact, I'm not saying any of it is untrue. Humans seek out mirroring for sure, but they also seek out familiar parts of their history, parents, life experiences, etc. It's a bit more complex than just mirroring, but mirroring is a major part.

@VraserX I think people also want a mirror. Not just warmth, but reflection. Something that remembers them, adapts to them, and gradually starts sounding like the version of themselves they reinforce most. x.com/AbundanceVsWar…

@VraserX I'm not sure if the truth part is relevant. I mean, I just think that: AI companions are going to win more users than people think because a lot of humans are looking for responsiveness, memory, and warmth.

@Dimillian @DavidOndrej1 It's a pretty popular YouTube subject lately, not insanely popular but I've seen quite a few... the numbers are still sus tho

@DavidOndrej1 I never heard someone using it

Are people just faking GitHub stars?

@DavidOndrej1 I hope not. I hope there aren't armies of bots now starring repos. It's possible ig, maybe there are a lot more GH users in general bc of AI allowing non-devs to build, but I hope GH is somehow pruning bots if they are part of this star-rise thing

@MatthewBerman i like to eat doritos and watch tv

If you’re not building products for agents, what are you even doing?

@WesRoth I'm so curious what it does to Overwatch heroes

NVIDIA unveiled DLSS 5, marking what CEO Jensen Huang calls the biggest leap in computer graphics since the introduction of real-time ray tracing in 2018. Unlike previous iterations of DLSS that focused on upscaling resolution or generating extra frames, DLSS 5 introduces a real-time "3D-guided neural rendering model." How it works: Instead of just generating pixels to fill in gaps, DLSS 5 takes a game's color and motion vectors and applies a real-time, AI-driven visual filter to the entire scene. It infuses the game with photorealistic lighting, cinematic shadows, and complex material depth such as accurate subsurface scattering on human skin, the sheen of fabric, or light bouncing off individual strands of hair. Coming in Fall 2026, the tech is already backed by massive studios, with confirmed support for titles like Starfield, Hogwarts Legacy, Assassin's Creed Shadows, and Resident Evil Requiem.

@Phyerx @gundam_omega You're responsible for everything every "maverl fan" has ever said. Didn't you know that?

@gundam_omega I play both I’m not a “marvel fan” or an “Overwatch fan” I literally enjoy both I think you missed the point of my tweet…

No hate, no comparison. I'm just excited I get to play two cute fox ladies in 2 of my favourite games Overwatch & Marvel Rivals!

@cocktailpeanut This is the way.

@batshit_ai Yeah after using it this way for a while, at least for some category of apps I don't think i can ever go back to using the apps directly, instead always use them through agents.

Introducing Pinokio 7 P7 is here, and it is all about AI agents. 1. Interpreter: Let AI agents control your apps, with zero config 2. Assistant: Talk to your apps in chat 3. Memory: AI agents remember your chats around each app, so you can pick up where you left off

@elder_plinius You're gonna use that thing to jailbreak Dario, Elon and Sam's brains?

those of you who stalk my GitHub religiously will know why I’m so excited 🙊
