@BoundaryBreak can we ignore the screens and question why princess peach is being HANGED please?

@adamconover I work in corporate events. I have watched pro-ai guys say, "Yes, this is going to turn everything upside down. It's going to result in mass job losses. It's going to crash the economy. But it's here to stay... so WHAT SIDE OF THE DISASTER DO YOU WANT TO BE ON?"

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies having to be sold so desperately. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

@music_waves @RonanFarrow Who do you think is the president of the United States?

@RonanFarrow It would be better practice to also show some positive sides and why Altman is in that position. Nobody is in such powerful position if they only do bad stuff. I am never convinced by a journalistic piece that only shows one side.

(🧵1/11) For the past year and a half, I've been investigating OpenAI and Sam Altman for @NewYorker. With my coauthor @andrewmarantz, I reviewed never-before-disclosed internal memos, obtained 200+ pages of documents related to a close colleague, including extensive private notes, and interviewed more than 100 people. OpenAI was founded on the premise that A.I. could be the most dangerous invention in human history—and that its C.E.O. would need to be a person of uncommon integrity. We lay out the most detailed account yet of why Altman was ousted out by board members and executives who came to believe he lacked that integrity, and ask: were they right to allege that he couldn't be trusted? A thread on some of of our findings:

@NonsenseIsland I wonder if Rick & Morty were directly referencing this in S8E7

Pixar artist Teddy Newton hilariously satirizing the animation industry in 2006's THE STUDIO OF TOMORROW. Particularly relevant now in the age of AI.

Every workplace has a Strait of Hormuz. You and your coworkers just have to find it and shut it down.

Our millennial experience of girlhood was directly tied to the most powerful sexual predators in modern history.

“post your bedrooms!” NO “let’s see your apartment before and after!” NO “post you now vs 10 years ago” NO “post you and your celeb look alike” NO “let’s see your parents vs you” NO

thinking about this wkuk sketch where they only get in trouble on the bus once they start talking about socialism

@thatbilloakley Yo. Do they put brown sugar on those Fat Burger patties? I had 'em for the first time last week and I swear the meat was kinda sweet.

Social media algorithms push rage and division to keep us scrolling. Here’s how the business model works—and the law that allows it to continue. #Algorithms #SocialMedia #Radicalization #PoliticalViolence #TechPolicy #Section230

Today's media apocalypse makes it a good day for everyone to watch this 1998 SNL animation that Robert Smigel and Adam McKay managed to get on national TV once, before it was yanked off the air forever.

@th3FatRat @katSam93 @NickyFrank30 Depends if it's a singular event or if the "bad thing" is a pattern of abusive behavior repeated over several years and hidden through deception, manipulation, or threats.

@katSam93 @NickyFrank30 No, that’s a simplistic childish way of looking at things. People are people. By that logic what does it mean when in otherwise good person does a bad thing?

My grandfather used to say “and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel” and I never knew what it meant until after he died my grandmother explained some magazine did a fluff interview with Magda Goebbels a few years before WW2 that included her strudel recipe and my grandfather, who hated the Nazis with the passion of 10,000 suns, thought it was an example of the media sanitizing evil people and he would use the phrase when someone asked him to overlook a bad person doing bad things and focus on the good.

And the third wish was...to become rocks

@TheRealDKMykan Yeah, comedy tends to include dichomoties

@simpsons_DG I hate what happened before (The guys banning Homer from Moe's for a harmless prank compared to theirs) I hate the next scene too. "Good Evening, sir. Would you please leave right now, without a fuss." I know... Homer wasn't dressed right for the place, but the guy was way rude

"Look on the bright side, Dad. Did you know that the Chinese use the same word for crisis as they do for opportunity?" "Yes. Cris-a-tunity! You're right!"

@katewillett If you need somebody to look up things for you, I'm already really bad at it.

@osoleve If it's not based on the MDA, why is it generating Minecraft?

@hummuslite Can you show me the code for the MDA in the repo?

@osoleve Decart is not "learning" about the physics or dynamics between generated assets. That information already exists in the MDA.

@hummuslite It's not generating assets, it's generating the screen itself. So, for the inputs to function it has to be learning something about the physics and interactions with the "world". It might not be practical here but modeling how systems function just by observation sounds useful.

@osoleve I appreciate that. It only generates assets at a short distance within the player's field of vision, so... there's not even a practical application for what it's doing.

@hummuslite To be transparent, you can find on my timeline where I asserted the same, that I wasn't sure this wasn't just actual Minecraft with a buggy style transfer layer, followed by my tweet walking it back after I looked at the code base myself.

@osoleve Cool. I take issue with the presumption that the MDA framework is being generated based on user inputs. I'm asserting this is not logically possible and what we're seeing is Decart generating/deleting assets at the speed of FPS based on the MDA in its dataset.

@hummuslite Yes, and several years of professional experience relevant to the tech in the repo! Fire away.
