@SemperVeritasX it's incredible, isn't it genuinely one of the most puzzling things i've ever encountered

The vast majority of Canadians are completely oblivious as to what's occurring. This gets much worse from here.

@SterlingCooley @claudeai dude, careful, you literally just told everyone you use windows 😆

@claudeai Your update has bricked your app on Windows, just fyi Catch-22 can't open it, because it's "already open" - can't re-install because it installs the bad version...

@WildfireWhisper this is awesome 😆

@GreeneElizabeth @DaTa_jp that is a spade you use a spade for digging, and a shovel for moving material see the pointy end? and the sharpened edge? digging tool a shovel otoh is like a spoon, a scoop. you use it for scooping material to move around, it's not pointy and sharp, so no good for digging

@DaTa_jp The english word is " shovel ".

tragic kingdom is a beautiful album you have to understand the context. it was 1995. grunge was eating itself. alternative rock had become a formula. everything sounded like it was recorded in a wet seattle basement by people who hadn't seen the sun in months and then this landed. california sunshine distilled into sound. ska horns over punk energy over pop hooks. gwen stefani's voice cutting through with something that felt completely new - vulnerable and defiant at the same time "don't speak" gets all the attention, but the whole album holds together. "spiderweb," "sunday morning," "excuse me mr." - there's not a weak track. it's tight, polished, and somehow still raw for those of us who were there, it wasn't just a good album. it was relief. proof that music could still surprise you. that something joyful could exist alongside the angst without being shallow it sold 16 million copies because it arrived at exactly the right moment, saying exactly the right thing. sometimes an album is just an album. sometimes it's a door opening

@annapanart we can feel it, we know it's here, but we can't see it. the room is dark, and we have no idea what this thing looks like

The shift already happened The future is already in the room. You feel it. I feel it. Everyone is feeling it. . . But most are rejecting it. that’s all.

"we are so confident that our extremely limited understanding of the universe - which we already know is riddled with holes - is correct, that we can definitively state we will never leave our solar system" we don't know what 95% of the universe is made of. we call it "dark matter" and "dark energy" which is science-speak for "we have no fucking clue." our two best theories - general relativity and quantum mechanics - are mathematically incompatible. we've been stuck on this for a century and yet we're certain about what's impossible lord kelvin calculated that the sun couldn't be more than 20 million years old because he didn't know about nuclear fusion. auguste comte declared we would never know the composition of stars - spectroscopy was invented shortly after. simon newcomb proved mathematically that heavier-than-air flight was impossible in 1903. the wright brothers flew that same year every generation of physicists announces the boundaries of the possible based on current understanding, and every generation is eventually embarrassed by what comes next but here's the worst part: this arrogance actively works against us. declaring something impossible is a self-fulfilling prophecy. funding dries up. bright minds go elsewhere. the dream dies not because it was wrong but because we stopped trying susskind is probably right that we can't do it with current physics. the arrogance is assuming current physics is final we've had relativity for 100 years. we've had science for 400. we've been a technological species for 10,000. the universe is 14 billion years old

we are going to do things contemporary physicists of this era can not even begin to imagine

Strongly disagree. The big danger is discontinuity in AI capabilities, if the releases are done continuously, systems have time to harden to a certain level of attack. Another risk is a gap in AI capabilities between entities, open source diffuses power and reduces these gaps

Coming from a Saint -

@grok extract all the claims from this video transcript, present them in a table with an assessment of each one and sources Is Lex Freriedman a fraud? On the surface, Lex Freriedman presents himself as a modern-day genius. A man long0:00 associated with MIT, the world's most prestigious university, who now runs one of the most popular podcasts on the0:077 seconds planet, pulling in millions of listeners every month, and landing guests that range from the titans of tech to some of the world's most powerful political0:1414 seconds leaders. But scratch beneath the surface, and the story gets murkier.0:2323 seconds Behind the carefully crafted image lies a man surrounded by glaring inconsistencies and unanswered questions.0:2727 seconds You don't have anything worthy to say?0:3535 seconds Shut the f up. You You see these glasses that I wear? These glasses of mine are substantially smarter than Lex.0:4040 seconds From doubts about his academic background.0:4949 seconds Does anyone know why? What is there anything they've done? Not truly. cuz all they do is talk. Is there anything0:5151 seconds they've built? Do does is there one appliance that that they have anything to do with?0:5959 seconds To suspicions as his role as a so-called neutral advocate for peace.1:031 minute, 3 seconds Lex Freriedman is so devoid of actual intelligence. It's insane. Guy's like a a uh Israeli automaton golem. And if1:081 minute, 8 seconds these allegations hold any truth, Lex Freriedman could be exposed as the biggest fraud in the podcasting world,1:171 minute, 17 seconds who built his entire empire on lies and deception. Hi, I'm the internet anarchist. I create weekly YouTube1:241 minute, 24 seconds documentaries, and today we're taking a closer look at Lex Freedman. how he potentially fooled the entire world into1:311 minute, 31 seconds believing that he was a trustworthy genius. How he hides behind neutrality to push his own agendas. And why part of1:381 minute, 38 seconds the internet believes he might even be a spy. But if you want to clear your name,1:451 minute, 45 seconds make sure you subscribe so I know you're not a spy. And let's get on with the video. For those who aren't very familiar with Lex, here's a super quick1:501 minute, 50 seconds breakdown of his academic and professional background. Alexi Lex Freiedman is a Jewish Russian-American whose family moved to the US after the1:581 minute, 58 seconds collapse of the Soviet Union. There, Lex received both his bachelor's and master's degree in computer science at Drexel University in Philadelphia. He2:062 minutes, 6 seconds continued at Drexel for his PhD in electrical and computer engineering as well, which he completed in 2014. From2:162 minutes, 16 seconds there, he briefly worked at Google as a visiting research engineer. then in 2015 moved to MIT's Age Lab where his work2:232 minutes, 23 seconds focused on algorithms for semi-aututonomous vehicles like Tesla's self-driving software before moving once again in 2019 to MIT's Laboratory for2:322 minutes, 32 seconds Information and decision systems as a research scientist. However, the thing he's most well known for on the internet is his podcast, which he started in2:412 minutes, 41 seconds April 2018. Though it wasn't until his April 2019 episode with Elon Musk that he exploded into mainstream popularity.2:502 minutes, 50 seconds Since then, he's uploaded videos with many high-profile guests from Sam Harris and Jordan Peterson to Richard Dawkins,2:592 minutes, 59 seconds Donald Trump, and many more. But behind all of his shiny achievements, there's a sketchy pattern of dishonesty. All of3:073 minutes, 7 seconds which came to light when the YouTuber Ghost Gum released an investigative video on Lex, exposing the many lies he's used to craft the image that he3:143 minutes, 14 seconds shows to the world. But the more I look into this man, the more I realized that almost everything he does is deceptive,3:233 minutes, 23 seconds embellished, or just a flatout lie.3:303 minutes, 30 seconds And the first red flag he pointed out had to do with how he presents his academic background. You see, despite earning not one but three degrees from3:323 minutes, 32 seconds Drexel University, including a PhD, Lex almost never mentions the institution publicly. Even on his personal website,3:413 minutes, 41 seconds where he happily shares details like his hobbies, Drexel is nowhere to be found.3:493 minutes, 49 seconds On the other hand, he never misses an opportunity to bring up his connection with MIT. Thousands of world class3:543 minutes, 54 seconds biologists actually so at MIT colleagues of mine people I know when I walk the4:014 minutes, 1 second halls of MIT MIT what do you think my position of vaccines is exactly from his Google Scholar profile to his4:084 minutes, 8 seconds LinkedIn and even Facebook. Wherever his name appears MIT is mentioned right alongside it despite the fact he never4:154 minutes, 15 seconds even studied there. Now, this selective branding might not seem suspicious at a first glance. After all, why wouldn't he4:234 minutes, 23 seconds list working at such a highly respected institution as part of his achievements,4:314 minutes, 31 seconds but the problem is that Lex's role at MIT is far less important than he makes it out to be. He isn't a professor or4:354 minutes, 35 seconds even a substitute. His title of research scientist is one of the lowest academic positions and is not even considered a4:434 minutes, 43 seconds part of the official MIT faculty. In other words, he holds no real influence on the campus. And he has no direct4:504 minutes, 50 seconds relevance to any MIT student. But that hasn't stopped him from repeatedly implying that he has taught students at MIT. As a research scientist at MIT,4:574 minutes, 57 seconds I've had and especially just part of a large set of collaborations. I've had5:075 minutes, 7 seconds a lot of students come to me and talk to me about ideas when in reality his only teaching5:155 minutes, 15 seconds experience comes from AP sessions which are informal classes that literally anyone can teach or attend. And this is5:225 minutes, 22 seconds where things go from deceptive to highly unethical. The thing is by bringing up MIT's name again and again, Lexus built5:305 minutes, 30 seconds a false aura of authority around himself. To the average viewer who has no idea what a research scientist really means, this makes Lex look like a5:385 minutes, 38 seconds trusted academic voice, giving weight and credibility to his opinions. In fact, back in 2023, scholar scientist5:475 minutes, 47 seconds Nasim Nicholas Taleb publicly called him out for this very reason. Nasim accused Lex of using the MIT name as bait to5:545 minutes, 54 seconds attract high-profile guests to his podcast, even though the podcast has never had any official connection with the university whatsoever. But as6:026 minutes, 2 seconds deceptive as his academic branding may be, it's only a fraction of a much bigger, far more troubling problem. Even6:106 minutes, 10 seconds if we accept him as a legit scientific researcher, which he insists that he is,6:186 minutes, 18 seconds but like I said, my main focus has always been on research. I published many peer-reviewed papers that you can see in my Google Scholar profile.6:236 minutes, 23 seconds His work still doesn't do much to help the case either, and there's no better example of this than the paper he published in 2019. It attracted a lot of6:316 minutes, 31 seconds attention, but for all the wrong reasons. Put simply, in it, Lex's findings suggested that AI assisted6:406 minutes, 40 seconds driving was significantly safer than human drivers. On the surface, these results sounded groundbreaking. But6:486 minutes, 48 seconds things quickly fell apart the second other experts went through his research,6:556 minutes, 55 seconds describing it as quote deeply flawed and quote misleading to the point of negligence. And just like many of Lex's6:596 minutes, 59 seconds previous papers, this one was never peer-reviewed by other researchers before publication. But instead of addressing this criticism, Lex tried to7:077 minutes, 7 seconds hide it under the rug and even went as far as blocking AI researchers who were telling him to submit the study for a7:157 minutes, 15 seconds proper peer review. However, the most suspicious thing about this paper was its timing, as it just so happened to be7:227 minutes, 22 seconds published exactly when Tesla was under fire for fatal crashes involving itself technology. The company was fighting a7:307 minutes, 30 seconds class action lawsuit at the time, and in the middle of this storm, Lex's paper conveniently appeared in mainstream media, painting Tesla's system as safer7:377 minutes, 37 seconds than human drivers and offering exactly the kind of academic proof Elon Musk needed to save his company's reputation.7:467 minutes, 46 seconds But maybe sincerity and integrity were never Lex's goals to begin with, since according to his former colleagues at7:537 minutes, 53 seconds MIT's Age Lab, Lex was never motivated by science. Instead, he wanted to get famous and his controversial 2019 paper8:008 minutes helped him achieve just that. Remember the Elon Musk interview that put him on the map? Well, he received an invite to Tesla headquarters and was able to meet8:098 minutes, 9 seconds Elon Musk in person just weeks after publishing this paper. And not long after that, Elon appeared on Lex's podcast, shooting him into the mainstream with a single 30inut upload.8:188 minutes, 18 seconds This combined with an earlier appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, kickstarted his rise to fame. He went from a littleknown researcher to the host of8:298 minutes, 29 seconds one of the most popular podcasts on the planet practically overnight. All thanks to Elon Musk and Joe Rogan. And he's been clinging to the two ever since.8:388 minutes, 38 seconds from obsessively bringing up Elon in his conversations.8:478 minutes, 47 seconds Elon Musk, Elon, Elon, Elon, Elon, Elon Musk, Elon, Elon Musk, Elon Musk, Elon is Elon, Elon Musk, Elon Musk. Often8:518 minutes, 51 seconds mentioning him up in completely unrelated conversations.8:598 minutes, 59 seconds What do you think about Elon as an engineering leader? Having to experience him in the most chaotic of spaces, I would say. What do you admire in the name of love about Elon Mus?9:029 minutes, 2 seconds To sucking up to Rogan in the cringiest way possible. Call me Brian Callahan. In this cruel world, there is a man you9:129 minutes, 12 seconds should listen to as you journey on through life. His name is Joe Rogan.9:209 minutes, 20 seconds Joe Rogan. Shoulders for days and a really wide back. But even with all of9:299 minutes, 29 seconds this, many people still find his rise to the top far too convenient to be something organic. to them. Lex doesn't even have the appeal that you'd expect9:369 minutes, 36 seconds from the host of one of the biggest podcasts in the world. He rarely adds anything meaningful to the conversations. And even when he does,9:449 minutes, 44 seconds it's rarely anything interesting. Hopefully surf if the waves are good.9:539 minutes, 53 seconds Surf for how good are the waves?9:589 minutes, 58 seconds Let's say they're good. This is a perfect day. This is a perfect perfect waves. Why do you surf? It's fun.10:0210 minutes, 2 seconds Okay. This is fun.10:1010 minutes, 10 seconds Okay. Man, man and nature, which is like what surfing is the ultimate is the power of the the infinite power of the ocean10:1210 minutes, 12 seconds versus a little silly looking man on a board.10:2010 minutes, 20 seconds You could say it's the infinite power of the ocean versus a silly looking man on a board. Or you could say it's fun. He brings on pretty intelligent people,10:2510 minutes, 25 seconds but I have no idea how he became as big as he is currently with absolutely zero charisma or energy. I will never understand why anyone listens to Lex10:3310 minutes, 33 seconds Freedman. Zero personality, zero charisma, poor interviewer, never says anything insightful. His popularity baffles me. But despite his lackluster10:4110 minutes, 41 seconds interviewing skills, Lex consistently lands some of the most high-profile names across tech, politics, and culture. In fact, some of these guests10:5010 minutes, 50 seconds haven't even appeared on Joe Rogan's podcast yet.10:5910 minutes, 59 seconds Why are you doing it? You know what I mean? like what this guy who works in AI just decides he's going to start a11:0211 minutes, 2 seconds podcast. The podcast becomes very successful and all a sudden he's like I'd like to talk to everybody. I'd like to go over and talk to Zalinski and talk to Putin and everybody's like why you?11:0911 minutes, 9 seconds What the [ __ ] are you doing?11:2011 minutes, 20 seconds When you line it all up, the lack of charisma, the absence of strong interviewing ability, and the almost suspiciously stacked guest list, the11:2211 minutes, 22 seconds pieces don't really add up. Now, some believe that he's just an industry plant, but for others, even that doesn't11:3011 minutes, 30 seconds explain everything. A sentiment that has given rise to one of the craziest theories surrounding an online creator,11:3711 minutes, 37 seconds according to which Lex isn't a scientist or a podcast host. He's a straightup spy or sleeper agent for the elites, with11:4311 minutes, 43 seconds accusations like, "This dude is the hybrid child of Mosad and some unlisted officers in Arlington." Lex gives11:5111 minutes, 51 seconds sleeper agent a whole new meaning. And while these claims are a bit absurd,11:5811 minutes, 58 seconds they do offer an explanation for his political views. Since despite him presenting himself as a humble centrist who respects and listens to both sides,12:0312 minutes, 3 seconds and of course has an undying amount of love for everyone, Lex has been exposed over and over again for having a very12:1312 minutes, 13 seconds clear political bias. Not only are most of his guests like Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, and Douglas Murray rightle12:2012 minutes, 20 seconds leaning, the way he engages with these guests is also quite telling. Like when he interviewed Israeli Prime Minister12:2712 minutes, 27 seconds Benjamin Netanyahu and failed to bring up a single meaningful question on Gaza,12:3412 minutes, 34 seconds on peace or the ongoing crisis in that region. On the other hand, when he interviewed Ukrainian President Vladimir12:4012 minutes, 40 seconds Zalinski and turned it into a glazing session for Putin,12:4712 minutes, 47 seconds I once again have a dream that even if there's hate that you sit down with Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin and12:5012 minutes, 50 seconds you find a way to peace. Throughout the episode, he kept implying that Vladimir Putin was ready for peace. At one point,12:5912 minutes, 59 seconds even suggesting that Ukrainians should just forgive Putin for invading their country. This is not a small compromise and to forgive him will not be a small compromise.13:0713 minutes, 7 seconds To forgive no one will forgive. This is absolutely impossible to forgive him. We cannot get into the head and soul of a person who lost their family. Nobody13:1613 minutes, 16 seconds never will accept this. Absolutely impossible. With all this in mind, it's hard to see Lex as the neutral truth13:2513 minutes, 25 seconds seeker he claims to be. Instead, he comes off as nothing more than a propaganda vessel. as his viewers put it, is a masterclass at selling polite13:3213 minutes, 32 seconds propaganda to people, spread lies, or equivocate horrible people using the veneer of polite intellectual discussion. And the Zalinsky interview13:4013 minutes, 40 seconds was so godfuriating, I lost all respect for him after that. And it's not just in geopolitics. Even when in the tech13:4913 minutes, 49 seconds space, Lex's podcast comes off as a safe haven where CEOs and billionaires can say whatever they want without fear of13:5713 minutes, 57 seconds push back, hard questions, or accountability of any kind. And in the end, that's what makes Lex Freedman so dangerous. Not that he's simply biased14:0414 minutes, 4 seconds or unqualified or uncarismatic, but that his entire career is built on a foundation of lies and deception. So, to14:1314 minutes, 13 seconds answer the question we posed in the beginning, is Lex Freedman a fraud?14:2114 minutes, 21 seconds probably. But will this revelation impact his reach and influence? Seems unlikely. As long as he's the only one14:2514 minutes, 25 seconds securing interviews with the people running the world, viewers have no choice but to tune14:3214 minutes, 32 seconds

@ts00x1 @ThePrimeagen @grok The video I watched was way harsher than what grok is speaking about. Go check Internet Anarchist. People think he is an Israeli plant too. youtube.com/watch?v=BiQoX0…

I like hearing from Lex.
