@WWE @Obaofwwe Big E putting the man over

"THE OTC CAN GET SOME" 😤 @Obaofwwe is letting the Tribal Chief KNOW he has arrived!

@curtis_yarvin Curtis please stop talking about my mom

Dario is talking to people who use his product The economists are studying the geometry of spherical cows

@wordgrammer The problem with Social Media wasn’t the technology, it was the inherent narcissism that it exploited.

AI is a slave to capital, and capital is a slave to the algorithm. If Dario didn’t fear-monger, his clips wouldn’t go viral. And if his clips didn’t go viral… he’d raise less, hire worse researchers, and have fewer customers. Anyone who has ever had a post over 100 likes knows: you don’t pick what posts go viral. Quippy one-liners go viral. “Thoughtful, nuanced discussion, carefully approaching the future with wisdom and optimism” get zero likes. From my own experience, at least, I have to constantly choose between “saying what I really believe” and “selling out to the algorithm”. Even this post will probably get <10 likes because nuance is anti-mimetic. Dario and Sam both play into the FUD surrounding AI. Some people call this “bad marketing”, some people love to say “you should hire a PR department”. But in my mind, the problem is deeper… FUD goes viral, “good pr” does not go viral. We all knew this in 2008-2019. We saw that social media was full of anger and clickbait. The tech industry profited off of rage baiting, clip farming, clickbait, and so on. But the tech industry didn’t, itself, have to rage bait, clip farm, or clickbait. Right? Y’know, Zuckerberg stayed in the shadows, and micro-influencers did the FUD for him. Same for YouTube, same for Twitter. In the 2008-2019 era, social media platforms pushed people into increasingly radical political opinions. Simply because FUD goes viral and nuance does not. Social media platforms profited off FUD while still having plausible deniability. Radical political views increased engagement, which kept people on the platform. Did Instagram/YouTube ever themselves push the FUD? Hard to say. Probably. But maybe recommendation algorithms naturally optimize for radical political views. Is YouTube at fault for showing people what they want to see? But now. AI labs must, themselves, play the social media game. That means they must constantly choose between going viral and being optimistic. And so… the tech industry must game the same recommendation algorithms that it once created… I don’t think we can solve AI’s “pr problem” until we can solve the much deeper problem that recommendation algorithms are not aligned with human interest…

@TheOfficialRT_ @VisualDreams303 @SuicideChrist Bro I thought that was Mike Dean!

Some things you don’t run away from. Runaway by @SuicideChrist coming soon

@powerbottomdad1 If not Anthropic, it would be someone else. Innovation is not a decision - it’s an emergent property of any body of entropy constrained by universal laws.

we're all looking for the guy who did this

@jay_h3nry Michael Cole referring to Finn as an “elder” hit right in the gut.

RISE UP BALOR CLUB!!!! THE DEMON HAS RISEN Finn Balor has returned to his roots for the first time in almost 4 years. Dominik has no idea……. #Wrestlemania

@WWE @espn The fact these two men are connected by Jim Cornette

Just two greats 🤝 #WrestleMania streams TONIGHT at 6 ET/3 PT on the @espn app with the first hour streaming LIVE on ESPN! ➡️ es.pn/watchwwe

@NipseyHoussle Because that’s not his reaponsibility. This “us vs them” / “they promised us x” populist banter is a losing game

Why hasn’t he come forward with a proposal for what happens next

@ksplucker70122 @FoxNews 35

@codyavant @FoxNews How old are you?

Massive car takeover rocks NYC intersection — about 100 cars involved as calls grow for crackdown. New video shows chaos unfolding early Saturday morning in a Queens neighborhood as mobs light fires in the street and cars spin out near a gas station, with one driver circling the flames while waving a Palestinian flag.

We can't be more than 18 months away from cocaine that is good for you

commit to nothing but higher purpose

@ben_j_todd The fact that you can scale AI labor horizontally with no material marginal cost is the real key. Human labor is massively expensive at scale.

The problem is most economists refuse to even consider AI that can truly substitute for human labour – even though technologists say it's coming. They model it as a complementary tool, which assumes the conclusion. Put labour-substituting AI into standard economic models, and things get crazy fast.

@thefinnmckenty @FeetCutter Right. 25% of insurance costs are admin overhead. AI could bring that down to 10% and benefit everyone.

@codyavant @FeetCutter Which just raises prices for everyone due to bloated costs

It’s kind of a Catch-22: in order to start an elite AI company, you have to be a level 9000 autist. But that also means you can’t see why that makes you precisely the wrong person to be representing the company in public, and why this messaging will make literally billions of people hate your guts. The really ironic part is that it’s not even true. Once everybody is using AI, there’s no advantage to using it- it just becomes the baseline like spreadsheets or email are.

@FeetCutter @thefinnmckenty There’s plenty of people to buy the product that have non-automatable jobs, but there will definitely be massive deflation no doubt. I’m really mostly thinking in terms of insurance since that’s my industry. People get paid $70k to copy and paste PDF’s. Big grift.

@codyavant @thefinnmckenty Companies are automating to cut labor costs and boost margins. Fine. But your margins mean nothing if the person who was supposed to buy your product is now broke. You just destroyed your own customer.

@ns123abc Never not replying that jacked Demis is Dan Bongino

BREAKING: Google is in talks with Marvell to build 2 new AI chips for inference >a memory processing unit that works alongside TPUs >a new TPU built specifically for running AI models Google plans to produce nearly 2 million memory processing units this is Google diversifying away from Broadcom, who charges fees on every TPU produced ITS HAPPENING

@snwy_me This thread is reminding me why I’m happy to be on X. We’ve truly bifurcated as a species.

a lot of you don't realize is that the majority of people who want molotov cocktails thrown at AI CEOs houses have never heard of yudkowsky or have ever thought of an "x risk", they think that AI is soaking up the oceans like a sponge and is fueled by sacrificial palestinians

@PeterDiamandis Peter, don’t bash CNN. It stands for Commercials, Not News.

If you're still watching legacy media or the Crisis News Network, you'll probably think the world is far worse than it was 20 years ago.

@fragrancewife Chill 🤣

why is Jerome Powell there?

@kapilansh_twt AI can already do so many jobs, but a lot of feet dragging due to prisoner’s dilemma / keeping org together during transition

has anyone actually been replaced by AI or are we all just scared of something that hasn't happened yet
