@PastorSotoB1 @KashPrime Bro it’s a new MRI machine, it’s not for your “daily work” grindset goals. Christ.

@KashPrime Interesting…how can this be translated to general practice. I mean is there a use case that this can be used for daily work or is this still in development. The video doesn’t explain much

Never thought an AI startup would produce an entirely new imaging modality. They are taking ultrasound transducers, tech that's been around for decades, but scaling it up and combining it with massive compute to produce incredibly precise reads on the body. Traditionally, when you get an ultrasound, a trained tech captures several still-images of each important organ. These are then read by a radiologist. The whole process is clumsy, cumbersome and hasn't really changed in 50 years. It takes years to train both the ultrasound tech and the radiologist, and very expensive to employ them as well. Now there's a ton of 3D data in ultrasound scans that never gets interpreted or read, and that's likely where Midjourney saw an opportunity to leverage their expertise in image-generation into image-extrapolation and interpretation. This is going to be very interesting to watch!

Does anyone know if the new Specs support webxr in AR mode?

@blondesnmoney Just heads up Paulson is about to run this exact playbook again with $THM

Have a short term speculative trade in $PPTA Perpetua Resources - John Paulson owns 30% and is currently on Zoom presenting for the company which is pretty funny since he doesn't actually work for them It's a pre rev company with an open put goldmine project, but Paulson isn't an idiot and I think when the headline comes out that he is presenting for them, people will get interested

Don't miss that $SKM recently invested MORE in Anthropic besides the stake they took a few years ago.

“AI can’t do the things we are told it can do” “AI can do it but now I’m bored” What makes a product good is not how much effort or personal satisfaction the creator has in the act of creating it. Such a myopic way of thinking. “Woe is me I don’t know what to build anymore”. Some people have actual problems. Maybe try solving them.

yesterday i signed up again for claude max $200 plan and had it change the whole visual metaphor of the productivity app i’ve been working on intermittently over the past year: instead of a traditional UI with tables, lists, tools, etc, i told Fable to use a desktop OS metaphor instead for displaying the various built-in mini apps (tasks, chat, notes, etc). all with a functioning dock and animated wallpaper and multiple window support etc. fable was able to solve the problem but really i’m beyond the point of being impressed by an LLM doing some upfront task. everything worked, it “made no mistakes”, all tests passed (it even fixed old tests), but i was like ok whatever thanks. i blew past my $200 limit in 2 hours. and now i’m sitting here like, ok, now what? do i ship this? hear me be a whiny bitch for a second: that it was too easy killed the whole part of the journey of making an app where you become a new person through the creation process, and you earn such pride in your work which in the past gave you the energy and courage to ship things. and i’m like, i can ship this. i can try to make a buck. the app is done. but i just don’t feel a bond with the work. now if you were a somewhat savvy operator, the business type that would happily sell refrigerator coolant if you sensed an opportunity, AI will be a godsend for you. but i don’t wanna sell refrigerator coolant. and now because everything is so easy, i hardly ever feel like i’m solving a real problem anymore. it’s like how deep of a problem am i really solving if someone can one shot my app in 2 hours? i will say that in those 2 hours yesterday, i really enjoyed being back near the code. there’s nothing funner than making shit. it’s just that the new way of doing things kills a lot of the creative and spiritual juices you used to get before, that many times lead to commercially beneficial outcomes. now, i just don’t know what’s worth building anymore.

This guy is now firmly in the Ed Zitron camp of “willing to beclown myself on the regular because there are so many people who desperately want to believe what I’m saying.” Fair play I guess.

@edzitron Don’t worry, multiple people took you at your word when you said LLMs peaked in 2024. 🥴

don't worry multiple people will take this thread as proof it's already here!

@atmoio @ADavs79 Is this some bit you are doing or do you really think this lol

@ADavs79 where is it useful, besides lines of code shipped?

Anthropic is questioning whether AI may turn out to be altogether useless. This is the single most honest thing Anthropic has ever written. “But achieving recursive improvement alone does not suggest an immediate change in how industrial production occurs, societies organize, or markets function. More intelligence can’t learn what a drug does over decades of use, can’t hold elections sooner than a constitution dictates, and can’t turn a stranger into an old friend in a weekend. For most people, the felt pace of this future will still be set by the bottlenecks, even if the laboratory upstream runs at the speed of compute. That collision, where recursive intelligence building itself ever faster meets the world of humans, relationships, and governance, is another part of this future we can’t predict.”

@golfer319 No clue tbh. Very odd. I bought more in around the middle of the dip but definitely a bit spooked. Clinging on though.

@gabrieljbaker wtf happened to the price ? Is there news ?

$SKM acting like Anthropic just rescinded their IPO paperwork 😭

You’ve already shown you don’t have any idea how financial markets work with your dipshit “$45 a share” tweet which I’m surprised you haven’t deleted by now. But yeah good to see you have so little conviction in what you say. I mean really take any of Ed’s predictions I’ll be happy to take the opposite bet. Guess I’ll be waiting for a while.

Went on Bloomberg - Anthropic and OpenAI are dangerous and unsustainable companies that shouldn’t IPO. The AI bubble is a con and retail investors are the marks. AI doesn’t have ROI, it’s nothing like AWS/Uber, and it’s got no post-bubble recovery story. youtube.com/watch?v=zbKDmk…

@GFM311 @edzitron Wow, good one. Really got me!

@GFM311 @edzitron What does this even mean lol? I say something that doesn’t fit the narrative you’ve constructed about me in your head and you think I’m lying lol? Real galaxy brain here.

@GFM311 @edzitron No, I hate Elon Musk and cyber trucks.

@GFM311 @edzitron I’m not upset which I thought my smiling face would convey lol. But yeah - nice to see that what you enjoy is trying to upset people on the internet. Much easier than knowing a single thing about AI apparently. 🙏

@unfoldedbeagle @AnyhooAnyone @edzitron Agree that people are sick of the grifting and especially Musk, who I despise.

@gabrieljbaker @AnyhooAnyone @edzitron That is a kind of ridiculous take I agree but people are just sick of the grifting. He’s right that flows will run into space x and retail will be left holding the bag. It’s tiresome.
