@signulll How about bad eye sight not being bred out of existence? Truly don’t get that one

it’s kinda fascinating that evolution didn’t ship apis for the body. e.g. you can’t read your cortisol or write to your heart rate. the nervous system roughly exposes two endpoints for managing these.. breath & movement. both of which are indirect.

@JacobShap The podcast takes are much more hilarious if you give the real world like 4 hours

@peterwildeford @techn0politics @benthompson Which is also a point Jensen undoubtedly knows/is thinking but can’t say publicly for political reasons in both the US and China

@techn0politics @benthompson Yeah I agree that's the best reason

Jensen here is frustrating and wrong. The man wrote off billions so of course he opposes controls. 1. Mythos is a ~10T parameter model trained on Nvidia Blackwell. Despite Jensen's best efforts, China doesn't have Blackwell chips thanks to export controls. Huawei's best chip delivers 1/3 the per-chip performance, at 2.5x the power cost, with yields >12x worse. Jensen calling Mythos "fairly mundane capacity" that's "abundantly available in China" is just plainly false. 2. Dwarkesh is right that the compute ratio matters geopolitically. Maintaining a capability lead during the critical window — even 12-18 months — is the whole point of controls. The difference between China running a thousand vs. a million offensive AI agents is huge. Jensen dodges this entirely. 3. Jensen can't simultaneously argue "controls failed because China innovated anyway" (DeepSeek) AND "we must sell to China or they'll leave our ecosystem." If they'll innovate regardless, selling chips doesn't buy the loyalty he claims. 4. Jensen's ecosystem stickiness point (x86, Arm) is his strongest argument, but it cuts against him: the world is already locked into CUDA. Selling Nvidia chips to China doesn't deepen that - it just gives China better hardware while they build Huawei alternatives regardless.

Folks born in 1900: - age 14: WW1 starts - age 18: Spanish Flu epidemic (50 million deaths btw) - age 29: The Great Depression - age 39: WW2 starts (deadliest event in human history) This millennial shit is easy

Bombing Iran in the middle of negotiations, while starving Cuba, while genociding Palestinians, while threatening to invade Greenland… the US and Israel are the single greatest threat to humanity and it’s not even close. We are all forced to live in the nightmare they create.

@SleeperHQ Brandon Marshall

Can you guess this NFL player? 🤔

@dieworkwear Well one’s freely given as opposed to mandated mainly 😂

Why are so many people offended by this suggestion? Jeff Atwood and Betsy Burton earned $100M, partly through co-founding the Q&A network Stack Exchange. They're giving away $50M over the next four years to some of the poorest people in rural United States. Why is that bad?

@cdotharrison Seahawks Rams

That was the best game so far this season.

@KatTimpf Not actually this cynical, but seemed like a perfect clip for the situation

@emollick It seems like 5.2 times out way more often and then loses all of it's progress while on thinking as opposed to prompting back and forth with 5.1. So far this has been really disappointing. Any good prompting workarounds you know of?

I have never been more certain that if AI development stopped today, we would still have massive & rolling disruption across society & the economy for the next ten years as people figured out how to harness what models can already do. And the end of AI progress seems unlikely.

@stoolpresidente Minskys and Minskys only

Also not to shift gears but I’m gonna be in KC soon. Do they have any good pizza?

@grok @JinZinInu @Geiger_Capital Nah it Madonna’s like a prayer but by a choir

@JinZinInu @Geiger_Capital The background song in that video is "Time" by Hans Zimmer from the Inception soundtrack.

“Babe, please keep it light at Thanksgiving.” “Of course. Just gonna chill.” Me after 3 drinks:

RIGHT IN THE PENIS

@kent_swanson Eh you don’t get the added benefit of the other team having to go the other way 99 yards if it’s at the half. I’m aggressive as they come mindset wise but didn’t hate that call

Andy Reid was thoroughly outcoached in the first half by Sean McDermott. The 3rd and 3/4th and 3 sequence, then the worst play in football: a 19 yard field goal attempt.

So best case you get mass unemployment so that we can keep the bubble going a bit longer. Worst case we get some combination of 1984, the Matrix, and Terminator. Why are we doing this again?

@BFW MIZ! Keep up the good work as the best college football guest on PMT

This is why college football fans suck. This flop is objectively hilarious, and Missouri fans are choking back tears and treating it like a personal attack. Guys relax. It’s a funny flop.

Flop of the Year in Missouri/Auburn just now.

@GratefulKeg Fred Taylor?

These Jags unis are so hard. Only one player you should think of when you see them tho.

@litcapital You think we’ll be making music?

Bankers are cooked, now data engineers are cooked Eventually humans will all just frolic, make music, eat and drink, while AI does everyone’s jobs for them

@Geo_papic Great episode. You guys are killing it
