Claude Mythos FUCKED my DAD autonomously for 13 hours. We are not ready for what’s coming

Managers love it when you info dump them technical details they don't really care about

@teodorio 😭😭😭😭

ah man the good old times when this place felt like high school!

just so everyone is clear: this is evil. you are justified in thinking it’s morally bad. tons of apologetics happening for bad people. if you think behavior like this is just desserts for the tech industry due to some hobbyhorse you have, you have gone insane

The source of the data center water psychosis is @_KarenHao, whose book Empire of AI was a NYT best seller but overestimated water use by 100,000% (lol). The response was just “oopsies” and all the incorrect books were kept in circulation 🤷🏻‍♂️

There's a physicist at Stanford named Safi Bahcall who modeled this exact principle and the math is wild. He calls it "phase transitions in human networks." When you're stationary, your probability of a lucky event is limited to your existing surface area: the people you already know, the places you already go, the ideas you've already been exposed to. Your opportunity window is fixed. When you move, your collision rate with new nodes in a network increases nonlinearly. Double your movement (new conversations, new cities, new projects) and your probability of a serendipitous encounter doesn't double. It roughly quadruples. Because each new node connects you to their entire network, not just to them. Richard Wiseman ran a 10-year study at the University of Hertfordshire tracking self-described "lucky" and "unlucky" people. The single biggest differentiator wasn't IQ, education, or family money. Lucky people scored significantly higher on one trait: openness to experience. They talked to strangers more, varied their routines more, and said yes to invitations at nearly twice the rate. The "unlucky" group followed the same routes, ate at the same restaurants, and talked to the same 5 people. Their networks were closed loops. No new inputs, no new collisions. Luck isn't random. Luck is surface area. And surface area is a function of movement. The lobster emoji is doing more work than most people realize. Lobsters grow by shedding their shell when it gets too tight. The growth requires a period of total vulnerability. No protection, no armor, soft body exposed to the ocean. That's the cost of movement nobody posts about. You have to be uncomfortable first. The new shell only hardens after you've already moved.

My Stepfather was a career Intelligence Officer in the Air Force, he was devoted, a patriot through and through, he was a believer in the mission. He told me stories of his travels throughout Europe, playing quarterback in tackle football leagues in Germany, rec baseball, galavanting through Turkey. Most of these stories I've long forgotten but I'll never forget the message he was trying to convey to me with them. There are people on this planet that were born 5000 miles away from you, they've practiced a different religion, adhered to different traditions, but when you sit across from them in the pub, and share a drink, a laugh, or a story, they might have well been a friend born to the same town as you He wanted so desperately to convey to me, humanity, respect, liberty, these are things worth the struggle, these are things worth dying for. that our differences are relatively few, but the things that make us similar are vast, the love we feel for our families, the desire to protect the weak, the promise of a better life on the other side of grit and determination, the need for our children to go into this world and take hold of a life worth living. He passed away about a year ago, I am the closest thing he had to a son, it seems I am what remains of his will, I will carry the weight

The God Emperor was correct in creating the fishspeakers

@ankkala me and my dad played all these conflict games together in co-op, super fun games

this is the first time i'm seeing this game so zero nostalgia here. the game looks dope - tight level design - visual clarity - good looking lighting with either baking or vertex painting - simple yet captivating gameplay, no nonsense game makers take note

@tszzl Paul is not the child god in Dune tho

the dune movies were doomed from the start to be good and not great due to the casting of chalamet as paul. he does not have the gravitas for a child-god and is much better suited for kind of silly coming of age movies

type ish i been on twin

@Aizkmusic yes

I have a theory that people who listen to instrumental music or music in languages they don't understand have very loud and chatty internal monologues.

🚨BREAKING: DHS agents are now illegally arresting U.S. citizens at airports… and trafficking them across state lines. A 28-year-old U.S. citizen, Sunny Naqvi, was detained by DHS, for 43 hours, after landing at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago. She wasn’t charged with a crime, and she wasn’t accused of doing anything illegal… Agents reportedly detained her over what they called a “curious travel history.” Even though Sunny was born in Illinois…they still disappeared her. After being held for about 30 hours inside the airport, agents secretly moved Sunny to an ICE detention facility in Broadview, Illinois. While this was happening, federal agents repeatedly told her family she was NOT in custody, even though her phone location showed she was inside the facility. Then it gets worse. According to witnesses, agents asked for Sunny’s phone number so they could “look for her phone.” Minutes later, the phone was opened, her messages were read, and the device was shut off, cutting off the family’s ability to track her. After that, agents transported the U.S. citizen across state lines, to another detention facility in Dodge County, Wisconsin. And then she was eventually released early Saturday morning… in a random state, alone. Her phone was dead, and she had no transportation. So, a U.S. citizen detained by the federal government had to hitchhike to a hotel, just to be able to reunite with her family. And this is what people need to understand… When federal agents can detain U.S. citizens without charges… lie to families about their custody, search personal phones, and secretly transport people across state lines… That puts every single American in danger. Because they can do it to anyone.

large scale domestic surveillance has been an established fact since 2013 when Snowden revealed that the NSA had been bulk collecting phone metadata under Section 215 of the Patriot Act, in addition to broad internet surveillance like PRISM and Upstream collection under Section 702 of FISA. if you think this trend hasn’t accelerated in recent years as new technology allows these massive quantities of unstructured data to be organized … well.

Let’s be clear about what this says: the head of the FBI killed an investigation into a potential homicide of an American citizen because it didn’t fit neatly into the President’s contrived (and baseless) political narrative. And instead wanted to prosecute the deceased’s spouse. Putin-level fascism.

Take four minutes and watch until the end. Then share it. Nails it.
