@jonwu_ @simonvieira But every technology replaces or outperforms humans? But every technology is directed by a human?

@simonvieira i find AI pretty useful, but like the Pope says we have to be careful about anything that claims replacing humans as a feature

we can all make pinanfarina slop. we can all take the model trained on a million ferrari photos and make an image that looks like a ferrari. we can all one-shot a better looking car than what jony ive just came up with. i get the logic. look here, with close to zero effort i can conjure a thing of objective beauty. but with even less effort than that, you can simply pull up an old photo of a 250 GTO and say, "this is beautiful." there's something deeply insidious about LLM "creation": the danger the luce portends, which i don't see abating anytime soon--is that in the domains in which we cannot create, have no notion of what it takes to create, creation now seems within our grasp. we have been granted a tool whose output is by definition maximally derivative, yet convinces us we're each an inventor

@sabooky15 @timecaptales Also known as ADHD

Sadly after breaking up with his girlfriend of 15 years and having difficulty finding work he went up in the mountains and shot himself in the heart at age 44 . For some people daily life is a chore and they crave excitement .Psychiatrists call that low dopamine individuals. I wish he could have gotten effective treatment.

In 1982, Larry Walters, a 33 year old truck driver from California, tied 40+ eight-foot weather balloons to his chair and took off. He took his pellet gun, a CB radio, sandwiches, 2 liters of Coca-Cola, a pack of beer, and a camera. He soared as high as 16,000 feet l, which became a problem because some planes were flying at that altitude.

@Favwontmiss This is what my whole career is built on. Me worrying about my long term future. When my GF left me in my late twenties i had gotten fat. The anxiety of not being able to find a new girlfriend made me get a brad pitt body in 6 months

Anxiety-as-fuel is a real ADHD survival pattern. The brain learned that worry generated the chemistry to begin. The strategy worked. The bill came in middle age.

Scientists confirm that adults with unmedicated ADHD often develop anxiety as a compensatory activation mechanism. The body learns that worry produces the chemistry the brain needs to start. The strategy works for decades. The cost is a body running on cortisol that was never meant to be a primary fuel.

@ra41929 @Synesthetika @ayeejuju Yes, bit there’s a higher chance of it not being an ace. So the isn’t happens more

@Synesthetika @ayeejuju But when you turn over a card, it either IS an Ace or it isnt, so its a 50/50 chance

@officialstrong8 @BoogingBiggin @MisterWest77 @ClownWorld Exactly! That’s the cuck-proof

@RealityPolice1 @BoogingBiggin @MisterWest77 @ClownWorld The Elliott employees don’t get paid?

Some men out here paying thousands of dollars a year to join a private masculinity club, flying to conferences, sitting in hotel ballrooms, and wearing another man’s name on their chest like a sports jersey just to learn how to be a man.

@VelCake @JP_Polnareff69 @Gertywood5 @alex_prompter Disagreement is not valid argument. Valid arguments are valid arguments

@RealityPolice1 @JP_Polnareff69 @Gertywood5 @alex_prompter www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/ne… Tsuda Ken disagrees with you.

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it. Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying. Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence." Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter." Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter. They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created. One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility." Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies. That's the metered intelligence business model. And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

@officialstrong8 @BoogingBiggin @MisterWest77 @ClownWorld Do you employees wear their work uniform out of free choice or because you pay them so you can demand them to wear a uniform?

@RealityPolice1 @BoogingBiggin @MisterWest77 @ClownWorld Yes my employees have my last name on my shirt. STRONG and so do many other companies. Like Ford! D-Bag!

@DolkkiDolkki @SebRedBu11 @sapitonmix That’s a very ideologically tainted root cause analysis

@SebRedBu11 @sapitonmix Scandinavia fairly objectively has some of, if not the most functioning state capacity in the world, it just isn't as good as it used to be due to neoliberals selling half of it off to venture capitalists.

Also one of the most illustrative. Denmark is basically an onmi-potent turbo state finishing ahead of the schedule, while Germany barely past the paperwork level.

@BoogingBiggin @MisterWest77 @ClownWorld Do you only know men who has other mens names printed on their shirt? How old are you?

@MisterWest77 @ClownWorld Lol so what? Whose name is printed on your shirt?

@VelCake @JP_Polnareff69 @Gertywood5 @alex_prompter Strawman. Just because you can create value from nothing doesn’t mean it’s stolen. None of this was illegal, nor was it of any concern until someone spent 7 years and billions of dollars trying to figure out if you could actually make money out of internet exhaust.

@RealityPolice1 @JP_Polnareff69 @Gertywood5 @alex_prompter If nothing of value was taken, nothing of value is being sold. If his product is being sold for any price at all, you're immediately wrong

@JP_Polnareff69 @Gertywood5 @alex_prompter Steal? Are we back to “you wouldn’t steal a car” arguments to try and explain how stupid that term is when nothing of value has been taken away from anyone - quite the opposite.

@Gertywood5 @alex_prompter Should or shouldn’t Open AI be subject to copyright laws? Should to shouldn’t they be allowed or openly steal other peoples work and property on which their ENTIRE product is built?

@ifindmidwits @pmarca America was in fact great. But around 2016, it’s decline as a hegemon started to deteriorate - even though every ally wanted it to stay a hegemon But it requires trust. When that is lost, the architecture needs to redesign itself or the whole system will collapse.

@pmarca That’s conflating two different things. Germany was recovering after being stabbed in the back by the rest of the world. America was in fact great so making it great again makes sense and is a completely different thing.

1 Start new audiobook about the Third Reich. 2 “Hitler wanted to [pause a beat] make Germany great again.” 3 Hurl phone against tree.

@Nitin_Jadhav @mucha_carlos @ukraine_map Don’t you think Ukranian endgame is not becoming Russia? But it happens to be so that when someone is attacking you, you can’t just say stop.

@mucha_carlos @ukraine_map We fought war wid them, & we knew our endgame clearly. India achieved its objective during last year’s Operation Sindoor. Strength is shown not just in fighting, but in knowing when the mission is accomplished.

The 330Kv transformer is a major target, supplying Sumy, and they didn’t put anti-drone netting to protect it from fiber optic strikes They built a massive structure around it for Shahed strikes, but couldn’t invest much less for nets around the openings

@jonasholmdk Så nu er argumentet for brud på ytringsfriheden at “mange mener han har”?

@RealityPolice1 Det er der mange, der mener han har, og nu tager han ovenikøbet credit for det.

Men vi må forstå, at det er i Europa ytringsfriheden er under pres

@jonasholmdk Men han har jo ikke fået ham fyret?

@RealityPolice1 Ok, du har da virkelig ikke forståeligt, hvad ytringsfrihed handler om. Man kan godt undertrykke ytringsfrihed uden at smide folk i fængsel. Bl.a. ved at få folk fyret (eller true med at fyre dem) pga deres ytringer. Det vil få andre til at dæmpe deres kritik af frygt for fyring.

@clausmat1 Kan du uddybe hvad du mener med gentagelse?

Not so quiet. Det skete i 2020, hvor Rusland på ingen måde ville tillade en gentagelse af Ukraine 2013-14.

@thorborg @Rasmus_MunchS Hvad betyder “tilhænger af homoseksualitet” overhovedet? Går man i Parken hver søndag og råber slagsange?

@Rasmus_MunchS Du bliver dummere og dummere at høre på

Hvis man er tilhænger af homoseksualitet, kan man ikke være kristen.

@paulg @ycombinator You are really the most genuine leader a person could have. I’m 37, so I might not be totally aligned with kids speak, but I saw it as a friendly banter, but it might not even be that. Just genuine joy reflection. I’ll eat my words, and try to act my age again.

@RealityPolice1 @ycombinator I'm not mogging him. I'm glad when YC partners are genuinely excited.

OpenAI is offering $2M in tokens to every YC company in the spring and summer batches. We extended the summer deadline to May 25 so more founders can get in on it. ycombinator.com/apply

@Keller @lukas_m_ziegler You are the most underrated founder. The problem understanding and solution engineering is so off the charts in Zipline. Everyone wants to work at OpenAI, but Zipline showing again and again what the elite product work looks like!

We design the autonomy algorithm of the pod to be "shy". We love excited kids, but pods prefer to have a little bit of space 😎
