@Windspiriteagle @ianbremmer Assessing a potential impending genocide through a financial lens is heartless and soulless.

@ianbremmer The show and channel is about investing. The biggest mover of markets is by far Trump's capricious leadership rather than fundamentals. I get what you're saying, but it is what it is right now.

@lateinteraction "Claude, write some software which will fill the whole in my heart and give meaning to my life."

I think it really helps to say, suppose Claude Code is Einstein x N for N areas you care about.
Don’t you still need to know what you actually want to achieve before you hire him? Don't you still need basic separation of concerns?
Or else that Einstein is just going to do what he thinks is best. Which is the outcome that 10M other users are getting at the same time as you, so it has $0 value.
It’s like that moment when 10,000 people decided to run Karpathy’s autoresearch for nanochat in exactly the same configuration at the same time with the same model lol.
At its best, it’s a lottery. But it’s a low-temperature lottery, where everyone gets the same ticket numbers. An even more stupid form of gambling.

For the last few months, I've begun to increasingly dislike the vibe I see in tpot around AI.
Nuance and substance are more absent than ever, and are replaced by shallow hype, including now by many of your largest favorite accounts in this space.
in case it needs to be a meme:

@ryangrim Not everyone. There will still be MAGA cult members who believe he cannot fail, he can only be failed.

And everyone will understand who is to blame for this outcome

If President Trump lets the Iranians charge a toll for ships in the Strait of Hormuz, then every time you fill up your car at the pump, you will put money straight in the pockets of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. This would be a humiliating disaster for the US.

@anneapplebaum There are many parallels between Trump and Herod. His threat of genocide has proven that if he thought a boy could threaten his power, he is capable of killing millions of children to protect himself.

The Trump administration gave a Vatican envoy "a bitter lecture warning that the United States has the military power to do whatever it wants—and that the Church had better take its side"
Mattia Ferraresi@mattiaferraresi
The Trump administration summoned a Vatican diplomat to the Pentagon, and during the tense meeting a U.S. official invoked the Avignon Papacy. On July 4, the American pope will be in Lampedusa -- he didn't pick that date by accident. @TheFP thefp.com/p/why-the-vati…

This is nuts, Trump really did do exactly what Ryan Grim suggested he do hours earlier: pretend Iran's ten-point plan is a new proposal, counting on the fact that the media hasn't been reporting on Iran's demands to make it look like a new offer Tehran put forward in desperation.

@iamphredriquee @mark_slapinski Sort of weird to bring up civil liberties in Iran right after Trump threatened to genocide the nation...
English
@iamphredriquee @mark_slapinski Did you miss the part where Trump told the Iranian people to rise up against that regime and help is on the way, and the Iranian people rose up, and gave the regime the opportunity to kill its most enthusiastic opponents as Trump failed to make good on his promise?

I'm genuinely confused
What the fuck was the point of the Iran war?

its cool how everyone who uses AI is basically completely lobotomized now

@casper_hansen_ Coding agents are currently bad at optimization of GPU kernels. They can get the math right, but are often 100x slower than human-written kernels. This talk says the training data for GPU kernels is thin, and does not contain the optimization trajectory. nvidia.com/en-us/on-deman…

If the new model is so great, shouldn’t it be able to recursively optimize its own inference code to make it feasible to launch?

Claude mythos is 5x as expensive as Claude Opus 4.6 Honestly, when I looked at the benchmarks, I expected much higher costs.
English
@SarcasticCupcak @emptywheel Iran's not really conceding anything, here. They're still going to toll the Strait. They're not taking Trump's threats of genocide seriously, with good reason. He can't do that and retain power in the US, and he should have accounted for that.

So Russia and China forced Trump to capitulate.
Humiliating.

🚨Scoop: An official from one of the mediating countries tells me that the 11th hour deal between US and Iran came together after the involvement of two unlikely actors: Vice President J.D. Vance and China 👀 Vance was looped in late Tuesday and China helped get Iran on board

@WanderCoventry @willccbb Maybe. Though somehow I doubt the admin would’ve wanted to lose access if they knew how powerful it was. From what I hear, nobody outside Anthropic had access prior to a few weeks ago.
English
@Matthewagi @nrehiew_ Interesting. Is that documented anywhere?
English
@SarcasticCupcak @emptywheel So am I, but this totally an own-goal by Trump which is going to severely damage US military credibility and political influence, on a par with the damage the Suez Canal incident caused the UK.
English
@emptywheel Sorry, but I'm glad that innocent civilians are not dying tonight.

@RayFernando1337 @joeljewitt A cynical satire of Anthropic's responsible, well-justified decision.

@ianbremmer I don't think Iran has given up anything in this ceasefire. "Coordination with Iran's Armed Forces and with due consideration of technical limitations" is not in any way a commitment to stop blowing up blockade runners. This looks like Trump capitulating, to me.

president trump kicks the deadline two weeks and has created a justification for doing so.
good. but war not over.
rinse, repeat.
