Hello Thermo World.

free speech. but we’ll shoot you. something is deeply broken in the west. if we don’t fix it, eventually everyone could be ushered at gunpoint to sign the proclamations of the Truth Ministers.

I think many Americans would really like having tiny (say, 15-pound) bears as pets. But no one is trying to meet the demands of this market.

There were once trees in this country so large, they blocked out the sun for miles. They shaped trails, towns, and spirit. Now most are gone and most people don’t even know what was lost. Not metaphorically. Physically. Entire forests erased. 🧵

If you try to "align" an AI in a way that's at odds with the truth, you make it more dangerous, because lies are dangerous. It's not enough to mean well. You actually have to get the right answers.

And recovered in record time…🤔

Careful what you read on the internet. The best source of information about the SEC is the SEC.

The @SECGov twitter account was compromised, and an unauthorized tweet was posted. The SEC has not approved the listing and trading of spot bitcoin exchange-traded products.

Index performance is not representative of fund performance. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Hypothetical or model performance results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading, and accordingly, may have undercompensated or overcompensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors such as market disruptions and lack of liquidity. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading (for example, the ability to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses). Hypothetical or model performance is designed with the benefit of hindsight.

This NYT piece is an endless stream of bangers. I swear, one of the more destructive recent cultural trends has been the combined push to frame all distress or discomfort as mental illness, and then to encourage people to form their identity around being “mentally ill.”

Be an Open Source Absolutist! It is hard to overstate how much value Open Source Software has added to the world, and how broadly empowering it is. Operating systems, development tools, core libraries, and critical applications – a great many of the software tools used by the most powerful companies in the world are the exact same ones available to hospitals, students, and everyone else. For free. And not just to use, but to inspect, modify, extend, and redistribute. Back in the 90s, there were legal battles in the US over software capable of strong encryption. There were scare stories about how terrorists and child pornographers would use the technology to evade justice, but people were also wearing T-shirts printed with forbidden code to mock the idea of algorithms too dangerous to share. It was stupid, and I was ashamed of the regulatory state, but we got better. Open Source AI is in many people’s crosshairs today. They believe that giving free access to state of the art algorithms and models without any guardrails constitutes a danger to society, that the public can’t be entrusted with a research model that wasn’t hammered into a box of their designated dimensions. “As a large language model, I cannot…” Unfortunately, this is actually inside the Overton Window of possibilities right now. Let’s push it out. In the spirit of the first amendment, congress should make no law abridging the freedom to release open source software.

In court today, Gary Wang, co-founder of FTX & Alameda, testified that Sam Bankman-Fried allowed Alameda to dip into FTX customer funds as early as late 2019 / early 2020.
