I use AI a lot. Maybe it's bc I'm using consumer models, but I am not seeing anything approaching AGI yet. I'm seeing something like AGS: artificial general savantism. For most domains, AI can generate spectacular results – code, images, designs, songs, or finding 100 synonyms for "slime." But it's a savant, so you need taste & patience to run dozens of generations + curate outputs. Meanwhile, it's only mediocre at things where you'd want the AI *itself* to exhibit good judgment/taste, like: • "Hire a graphic designer who's a fit for my brand's style" • "Fully plan my trip to Berkeley based on everything you know about me" • "Cut unnecessary beats from this movie script & then rewrite the scenes to ensure continuity" aka general intelligence tasks! At these, it still performs like a college intern with savant skills. The trend I see is that AI companies are making the savant more savanty and we go "wow AGI soon!!" But the savant intern is not maturing into a discerning CEO.

@TylerAlterman i think of advanced LLMs as cognitive prosthetics, not as whole minds. we gotta supply all the sense, taste, and drive. this goes best for people who know they're made of more than just intellect; they can afford to extend their minds without losing themselves

@TylerAlterman Exactly. I've used these things for thousands of hours. AGI isn't coming. I like your AGS idea. Much better description of the improvements and their overall direction with each model.

@mokhanhim So you're spearheading a campaign of defamation? Might want to run that one by a lawyer.

Damage Gabe Einhorn by leaving his business a one star review on Google It’s time to show jews they can’t keep destroying lives without consequences.

@_FucknBossChick @Seanfrank Kind of it does.

@Seanfrank This is the dumbest thing I have ever read on here. You think the only stress in life comes from having children????? Please take your head out of your ass. The world does not revolve around you people with children.

After having a kid, it’s just so funny to think about single people taking a vacation to unwind Unwind from what? Sleeping in?

@MsMelChen Looks the same to me.

This is the aesthetics of the Longhouse vs. the Arena The Biden era was dominated by the communal smothering of Longhouse culture - consensus, feelings, safetyism, and endless rainbow rituals under the Den Mother’s watchful eye. The Trump era is the pendulum swinging back to the arena - competition, ambition, risk, strength, order. It's a necessary correction. America is remembering how to be a nation of warriors and builders again.

@ConceptualJames Then the WH should stop saying they made a "deal." That sounds weak by itself. We don't have to make "deals" with countries like Iran.

Fairly stated. We don't know how this will go yet, or, honestly, if it will go at all.

@BMcGrewvy "he wants a soft not-so-intellectual girl" This isn't true.

@WhiteHouse This is the United States of America. We don't have to make a "deal" with a country like Iran.

“The Deal with Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all!” President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸

@EricTrump @ufc @danawhite He was tricked by AI images showing him having a conversation he never had? Please explain.

It's got what plants crave

“Michelle Obama is a man” shouted on the White House lawn in a ring sponsored by Bud Light only available on Larry Ellison’s Paramount Plus. What a way to celebrate America 250 and the twilight of liberal democracy.

This is the most idiocracy shit I’ve ever seen in my life!

I don’t know how you wipe out their leadership like that and then don’t go for an unconditional surrender.

The way to end this is to stop screening for performative activism in high school applications. Admit more students that played varsity sports, because those kids are usually well-adjusted and normal.

@FischerKing64 Disagree with a lot. Agree on the cage match.

I hate to break it to you - but the United States is an absolute, incoherent shitshow. The idea that we have ‘representative government’ is ridiculous. If that were true we would not have wasted billions killing Iranians for no reason at all. Some people wanted this - but the voters who elected this government did not. Let’s go further. When Trump goes to China - he brings our ‘great billionaires’ with him. I can’t think of any more obvious symbol that we live in an oligarchy that does everything it can to manipulate outcomes - and that voting is a bit of a joke. It’s like he’s bringing with him ‘the ruling elite.’ Because that is what he did. We have at least 40 million illegal aliens living here. Our business ‘leaders’ engineered this by bribing politicians to keep the border open - because they wanted to pay low wages and make mucho $$ for themselves. When people objected because their incomes were falling - the business leaders accused them of racism and funded Barack Obama to become POTUS. The USA is $40 trillion in debt - and no one has a plan to solve that problem. Absolutely no one. This will blow up one day - and it will destroy normal people who save in dollars - because the unspoken plan is to destroy the currency and save the rich and destroy the rest. But people who own our homes - like Blackstone or Blackrock - won’t care because their assets will follow inflation. Everyone else will be reduced to paupers renting from them - their bank accounts gone. The United States today is hopelessly dysfunctional. It lacks a coherent population that can even agree on anything. It is bankrupt - but the rest of the world is propping it up because they are also scared of what happens when the dollar collapses. It doesn’t have any smart leaders - and we have to watch insiders doing oil trades to make $$ on the Iran war - and the administration itself sells shit coins. Our foreign policy is a total joke - not strategic in any way at all. It is driven by special interests, and then not even followed through. And people are actuality making money on it - pump and dump coming straight from the White House. This is a hell of a way to celebrate 250 Years! At least we can have a cage match on the White House lawn that degrades our entire history and underscores just how bad and ridiculous things are! Thank you for your attention to this matter! Enjoy the circus! If you’re lucky you will be dead when the music stops!

The idea that the U.S. needs to negotiate with Iran is absurd.

The European mind understands it perfectly. This is what imperial decadence looks like: public institutions converted into branded spectacle, civic memory replaced by adrenaline theater, and the People’s House turned into a content backdrop for regime propaganda. The joke is not that Europe cannot comprehend it. The joke is that America no longer recognizes what it is becoming.

College admissions offices are generally not staffed by the sharpest people. This explains many issues. (Why do colleges admits so many weirdos? Why don't admissions offices care more about merit? Why do admissions and students care so much about identity? Why does the essay matter? Why do "impressive" ECs matter? Why are students so performative? Etc.)

@bvx6x @MaxAbrahms The military is not a jobs program.

@MaxAbrahms No parent of a soldier is embarrassed in a peace deal if it means their kids live

Trumps is right this deal with Iran is different. Because it seems more embarrassing.
