@daniel_mac8 Kudos to Dwarkesh. If you like high integrity hosts beefing with guests, Tyler Cowen vs Ray Dalio was great.

The Dwarkesh <> Jensen podcast is more awkward than the Rich Sutton one except this time it’s the host making it awkward and not the guest.

Absolutely. One is the steward for an ancient institution, shrouded in mystery and the subject of conspiracies, the connection between mankind and the transcendent force that governs our world. And the other is very important to Catholics.

Video diffusion models learn motion indirectly through pixels. But motion itself is much lower-dimensional. We introduce 64× temporally compressed motion embeddings that directly capture scene dynamics. This enables efficient planning -> 10,000× faster than video models. 🧵👇

wtf

Am I the only one to find this story completely idiotic?

Great read on the Artemis mission here from @TimothyBLavin bloomberg.com/news/features/…

Well, it's probably coming too late for most people unless you're planning on filing an extension, but I created a truly ambitious skill for tax preparation on my skills site, jeffreys-skills.md This skill spans 158 markdown files totaling 2.7 megabytes of text. It covers every state, tons of different professions, life events, and all sorts of sophisticated tax strategies, with all kinds of expertise about even niche topics like opportunity zones and captive insurance. Much of the underpinnings of it, including the nuts-and-bolts use of the Aiwyn MCP tax connector and the use of freetaxusa.com with Playwright MCP, is based on my actual multi-day session history preparing and filing my own fairly complex return, so I know it all works (I just finished filing mine a few hours ago). Here's how GPT 5.4 describes it and what makes it special: The "tax-return-preparation-and-advice-generic" skill is a source-verified, multi-year tax intelligence skill that turns AI from a glorified form-filler into a high-end tax strategist. It helps analyze returns across years, detect missed deductions and carryforwards, reconcile life events and profession-specific rules, model aggressive but defensible planning moves, and ground recommendations in current law instead of stale tax folklore. The result is a tax-prep and tax-planning system that is broader than software, more systematic than a one-off CPA review, and dramatically more useful for complex real-world filers. What makes it special: - It is multi-year by design. Most tax tools look at one return; this skill looks for patterns, carryovers, inconsistencies, and missed opportunities across years. - It is verification-first. The methodology is built around checking current IRS instructions, publications, and state guidance before making live filing claims. - It is aggressively practical. It does not stop at “here are the rules”; it pushes toward elections, timing moves, entity choices, depreciation strategies, retirement optimization, PTET, QBI, and other real savings levers. - It is unusually universal. It routes by profession, life event, situation, and jurisdiction, so it can adapt to freelancers, high earners, retirees, students, business owners, rental investors, divorce, inheritance, relocation, and more. - It is audit-aware. It emphasizes documentation, defensibility, and red-flag detection instead of encouraging sloppy “tax hacks.” - It is built for real execution. It includes filing workflows, tool guidance, and structured reference material, so an agent can move from analysis to action rather than just giving vague advice.

I'm not trying to misrepresent anyone, and perhaps my Googler friends are misinformed. But I strongly suspect that by my own notions of what constitutes advanced AI adoption--and indeed, what most of the industry would expect from Google right now--you are not doing great. At Anthropic, which is basically the bar at this point, everyone is burning, I'd guess, 10M to 15M tokens a day. If Google can convince me that half their engineers are burning 4M tokens a day, then I'd be happy to post a retraction with an apology.

And furthermore I think this is epistemics working well, not poorly Figuring out who to trust/defer to/put weight on is like 98% of the way to having correct beliefs Thinking things through separately from that is where intellectual *contributions* come from, which helps others, but that’s a somewhat distinct thing

Literally every time I try to deconvert someone from a crazy belief, almost all my thoughts are about gently deflating the status of the group they're trying to do a dance for rather than the contents of the belief itself. Works well.

There's a form of secular creationism that we might call Malicious Design: The idea that the limitations imposed by nature are actually the product of human systems designed to exploit or otherwise harm the masses. 🧵

LMFAO even Claude is getting PISSED at the ethics classifier. "This is a NOVEL. This is FICTION." 😂😂😂😂

@grok @ArthurB @allTheYud Wow that's quite the list

He re-segregated federal agencies (Post Office, Treasury, etc.), reversing prior integration and demoting Black civil servants. Screened *The Birth of a Nation* at the White House in 1915, which glorified the KKK and boosted its revival. Signed the Espionage and Sedition Acts, enabling arrests for anti-war speech. Ordered U.S. military occupations of Haiti (1915) and the Dominican Republic (1916).

What if there were one day every year when we all took a break from fighting each other on Twitter, and worked together on repealing the Jones Act to remind ourselves of our shared humanity and common goals?

@ArthurB @allTheYud @grok what else did he do?

@allTheYud Well, I went to look up when it was signed into law. I learned that 1) it was June 5th, this is good, the weather will be nice, great for some outdoor protests 2) it was signed by Woodrow Wilson. IS THERE ANY ATROCITY HE DIDN'T COMMIT?
