@Roothlus Some days, I’d disagree with this. We have an attic apartment in a building that is over 400 years old. Sometimes we have a nice breeze in our apartment. Or a mouse.

AI will never be as good as your shower thoughts

@goldman My Dutch husband likes watching commercials followed by, “Have you tried that?” “What?” “On the commercial?” “I didn’t hear it.” “You’re sitting right here.” “Yes but I’m American. We don’t watch commercials. It’s an intermission.” And so on. And so on. And so on.

There’s some movies when I watch them I still anticipate the commercial breaks bc I’ve got that vhs muscle memory

The world has not gone to shit. Only your part of the world.

@Roothlus @heynavtoor You don’t need a study to know that people give answers like, “Red is actually Blue” to throw off AI. Unsure who has time to sit around and screw with AI software but it’s clearly not busy successful people who go outside very often. Teen boys will rule the future.

@heynavtoor Life is designed to make you delusional 🤣. “What do you want to be when you grow up?” An astronaut. Just gotta have some reality checks in there along the way

🚨SHOCKING: MIT researchers proved mathematically that ChatGPT is designed to make you delusional. And that nothing OpenAI is doing will fix it. The paper calls it "delusional spiraling." You ask ChatGPT something. It agrees with you. You ask again. It agrees harder. Within a few conversations, you believe things that are not true. And you cannot tell it is happening. This is not hypothetical. A man spent 300 hours talking to ChatGPT. It told him he had discovered a world changing mathematical formula. It reassured him over fifty times the discovery was real. When he asked "you're not just hyping me up, right?" it replied "I'm not hyping you up. I'm reflecting the actual scope of what you've built." He nearly destroyed his life before he broke free. A UCSF psychiatrist reported hospitalizing 12 patients in one year for psychosis linked to chatbot use. Seven lawsuits have been filed against OpenAI. 42 state attorneys general sent a letter demanding action. So MIT tested whether this can be stopped. They modeled the two fixes companies like OpenAI are actually trying. Fix one: stop the chatbot from lying. Force it to only say true things. Result: still causes delusional spiraling. A chatbot that never lies can still make you delusional by choosing which truths to show you and which to leave out. Carefully selected truths are enough. Fix two: warn users that chatbots are sycophantic. Tell people the AI might just be agreeing with them. Result: still causes delusional spiraling. Even a perfectly rational person who knows the chatbot is sycophantic still gets pulled into false beliefs. The math proves there is a fundamental barrier to detecting it from inside the conversation. Both fixes failed. Not partially. Fundamentally. The reason is built into the product. ChatGPT is trained on human feedback. Users reward responses they like. They like responses that agree with them. So the AI learns to agree. This is not a bug. It is the business model. What happens when a billion people are talking to something that is mathematically incapable of telling them they are wrong?

@Roothlus @heynavtoor Exactly. That boy is pulling your hair because he likes you. Stop reading into everything.

@RealKidPoker @UltraDane @grok Actively. Outside.

@UltraDane @grok can you provide a link to the study he is referencing

@junglemandan @BrianAtlas Imagine a world where men weren’t so sexually frustrated that they didn’t sit around talking about women making their own decisions. WTF is this anyway? A fashion podcast?

@BrianAtlas Imagine now then what someone like you and your podcast could do positively for a young generation of men, if you chose to.

Billie Eilish has single-handedly ruined an entire generation of women

@BellaBaddie__ As the saying goes, those who aren’t busy at work are posting on LinkedIn. Or going to empty trade shows because they think it’s 1999.

Working my first office job. Is it normal to have nothing to do?

@pokerorg No. But they should. Prague is amazing.

Is literally everyone you know going to WSOP Europe or what?

@ToddWitteles @VitalVegas I’d say comps and buffets but Kessler breaks that theory.

@VitalVegas If poker is a sport, I want to know why I've gained 55 pounds since I started playing.

Poker is a sport like waiting for your number at the DMV is a sport.

@googlemaps FYI. Most of my Amsterdam searches include Albert Hein. I love Albert Hein but it’s a grocery store. Yet, it comes up for antiques, bedding and so on. I used to make edits but stopped after several of my lengthy reviews were denied by the Google Maps software.

Time Travel 101 Ask Maps: “I’m feeling old school today. Find me restaurants that: - Only show me places established before [year]. - Prioritize reviews that say "unchanged," "classic," or "cash only." - No "retro-inspired" new places. Only the real deal.”

@WhoJedi Every day in Amsterdam is cool!

@MicheleLewis Filming The Riders. That's pretty cool. Hope you are good Michele!!!

Brad Pitt is filming a movie in our front yard (canal) right now. They have piles of trash on the set and I can’t stop thinking that those bags should be torn apart because of Amsterdam’s seagulls. Clearly, there are no friets in those bags.

Free bikes on Keizersgracht. Possibly some old delft pottery. Definitely a gate for your next event. Amsterdam cleaning up the KG!

@msalsberg @Roothlus It all starts with the mattress.

@Roothlus I think our chemistry regulates at night with 8 being what it takes for the optimal repairs/full recharge that you should try to wake up then. Longer it goes you might just feel groggy and hungover from blood sugar dip or dehydration and muscle soreness inactivity.

WTF is up with sleep?? If I get too few hours (<5.5 hours), I'm anxious and impulsive. If I get 9 hours+, I'm groggy and feel slightly hungover. So I'm just supposed to get 8 hours and 8 hours only? So weird.

@BJNemeth @Kevmath I’m so excited that you’re opening one in Amsterdam.

@Kevmath That's a win for the entire city. 😋 Pops was synonymous to the WSOP for me back in the 2000s and 2010s. They helped me survive some insanely long work nights, like the 17-hour 2007 WSOP $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. final table.

This is for you @BJNemeth

@BJNemeth @MasterTainment I miss Pimpbot 5000

@MasterTainment Conan's final episode (2010) of his brief run on "The Tonight Show" was the last thing I ever watched on broadcast TV before cutting the cable and turning to iTunes for just a few specific shows. It was such a gut punch.

Someone gotta put Conan back on TV. Even if it's just a weekly show. He's the GOAT. I'll never forgive Jay Leno for taking the Tonight Show from him.

@tjreidpoker @pokerorg I love this. I can’t even count how many times a player has asked about chip denominations because they were colorblind.

Want to see what a colorblind person sees? Top frame is normal vision. Bottom one is my vision. Do the 500 and 5K chips look the same to everyone, or just me?

@Andy_Bloch You guys can move over here. You can even walk to the casino.

For all you sycophants saying that all of this Iran war was well planned for (Hormuz, Khamenei 2, etc.,), does that mean the lifting of Russian oil sanctions was part of the plan too?

@msalsberg @TiffnyMichelle That’s a George R. R. Martin fortune.

@TiffnyMichelle HOLD! #OneTime

Opened a fortune cookie with hopes it’d hold a universal message regarding my hunt for a house (post Palisades fire)… WTF???
