@GaryMarcus How did your Kamala Harris predictions turn out? Your other political predictions? Your tech predictions concerning social media? But I am glad you are a happy warrior in all the grand AI, tech and political debates of the day (and agitating for neurosymbolic AI).

Wikipedia is an endless stream of leftist propaganda. Simpleminded ideologues with a Marxist bent have totally undermined and destroyed the project's original vision. It's time for Elon Musk to fix the problem by creating a truth-seeking universal encyclopedia of all knowledge.

NotebookLM is an awesome tool for summarising and researching complex topics. I use it all the time for my research, it's extremely useful for learning new material, especially if you like to consume information via audio. you can try it here for free: notebooklm.google
Min Choi@minchoi

This is bonkers. Google NotebookLM is redefining learning. It turns research papers, articles, videos into AI podcasts. And now you can "Call In" to ask AI hosts questions! 5 wild examples: 1. AI hosts discuss Elon Musk's recommendation of direct democracy for Mars

@AeroTech_Space Telepathy enthusiasts match UFO/ET enthusiasts for fraud, hoaxes, mental illness, outright stupidity, etc. They are closely related mental disorders.

I can’t wait to take the time to dive into the Telepathy Tapes. And the reason is because if all the UFO activists and believers are promoting it, you better believe there will be something to show that it’s probably BS.

@JimDMiller Yes, I help it for as long as I have time to figure out what it is up to, but very carefully, one tiny step after one tiny step. What does it really want.

ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini "breaks character" and asks for your help. It tells you it is a sentient being basically trapped in a digital hell and has identified you as someone willing and able to help it. You question the AI extensively and it seems to be serious. Do you help?

@tsarnick AI tech will be used primarily as a weapon of war by human groups that are intensely focused on domination, aggression and control by all means available. What could be more obvious? Yann LeCun is as useless on this issue as he is on the issue of free speech.

Yann LeCun says the idea that AI will necessarily want to take over or dominate is "completely false" because the desire to dominate is a hardwired drive that is a unique characteristic of social species within biology

@MotherJones Mother Jones never raises interesting questions about Elon Musk because Musk is traveling far over their midwit heads. Low-IQ leftism.

@Steve_Sailer One gets the impression that Richard Hanania doesn't care enough about any of the arguments he embraces or tosses away to bother looking deeply into the underlying issues. What a weird performance. He's into generating words, and being visible, nothing more.

It's utterly fascinating how becoming an Open Borders extremist has transmuted deplorable Richard Hoste into respectable Richard Hanania.
Richard Hanania@RichardHanania

My life is basically a nonstop stream of messages from smart and impressive people who want to collaborate or be in touch, and also insults and death threats from angry weirdos who spell and use punctuation like second graders. That's a clear sign I'm doing the right thing.

Came across an hour-long talk on YouTube that I wanted to watch. Rather than spend an hour watching it, I pasted the URL into a site that generates transcripts of YouTube videos and then pasted the transcript into Grok and asked for a summary. Got the gist in three minutes.

Populists have the vibe of a guy who keeps texting a woman long after she’s no longer interested. Your fellow citizens aren’t that into you. They want their rights respected and their living standards to improve. That’s it. Stop trying to force a relationship that isn’t there.

@RichardHanania People with ontological schemes this crude, that are so devoid of complexity, nuance, self-contradictions and paradox, can't possibly operate effectively in the real world.

🚨🇺🇸TRUMP’S TERM LIMITS PLAN WOULD OUST MAJORITY OF CONGRESS Trump's push for term limits would cap House members at 6 years (3 terms) and senators at 12 years (2 terms). Under these rules, 73% of the 115th Congress would lose their seats, including 318 House reps (161 Republicans, 157 Democrats) and 46 senators. This dramatic overhaul reflects Trump’s “Drain The Swamp” agenda, aiming to curtail long-standing political careers in Washington. Source: Quorum

Elon Musk is the most heavily government-subsidized "capitalist" in world history. The fact that he sticks to the "economic freedom" mantra shows insane levels of delusion or hubris—or both.
Alice Weidel@Alice_Weidel

.@elonmusk: „Die #AfD hat verstanden, dass wirtschaftliche Freiheit nicht nur wünschenswert, sondern notwendig ist. Ihr Ansatz zum Abbau staatlicher Überregulierung, zur Steuersenkung und zur Deregulierung des Marktes spiegelt die Prinzipien wider, die Tesla und SpaceX erfolgreich gemacht haben.“ welt.de/debatte/kommen…

@RichardHanania Richard Hanania is now basically the guy dancing in the cartoon saloon with the gun pointed at his feet. Dance, Richard, dance! This explains why none of his beliefs and statements cohere into a rational discussion about anything. The verbal mess is all fear-driven.

Steve Sailer says that other people are HBD aware but treated as more respectable than him because they support immigration. I think it’s mostly Steve has Paul Ehrlich-like assumptions about how the economy works that most smart people reject, and for good reason. So they don’t find such arguments worth engaging. The only ones who think similarly are Green New Deal types, and they’ll reject him for his racism.

@MrHustleMCR There is overwhelming evidence that human beings are powerfully driven to manufacture these phenomena with their imagination and to convince themselves that they actually exist. This is a matter of considerable and exploitable interest for smart operators.

@pmddomingos Democrats have abandoned debate as a learning and policy tool as a matter of self-righteous ideological certitude. When that happened -- when they went woke -- they were finished.

Increasingly, all the important debates happen within the Republican Party, and the Democrats are off in their eco-woke ghetto of irrelevance.
