@full_kelly_ @Polymarket Wow why would the ai work us and keep us in cages?

@Polymarket Better enjoy it while it lasts. In a few years the AI will be watching the world cup while the humans slave in cages

BREAKING: Anthropic employee uses Claude Fable 5 to disprove the Jacobian conjecture, a major math problem that had remained open for nearly 90 years — while he watched the World Cup.

@VictorTaelin @infix_fun you misunderstand human nature. I don’t want free stuff, I want to have more than others.

@infix_fun that's the thing everyone gets wrong. people in power don't need to do anything. with universal AGI, we don't NEED them. example: → AGI is here → production costs drop → food prices stay the same → small startups use AGI to capture that gap → food prices drop and so on

I think these who fear "AI will take my jobs" ultimately fall to the following logical trap: "the value of my work might go down to zero (true), thus I'll not be able to afford the things that I could afford otherwise (false)". Obviously, if the value of everyone's work goes to 0, then so does the *cost* of everything. Models are getting better at everything, so, there's no realistic scenario where YOU stop being valuable yet you still need to pay the same to all the goods and services you consume. But that is somehow a hard conclusion to make. If I'd predict the future, this is how I think things will work out. First, AI will take nearly all jobs that can be done behind a computer. Period. Stop coping. I'm glad I don't need to measure my words. That IS happening. Fable is almost implementing Bend on its own, in many instances it feels more competent than myself, and I've hardly met a single human I'd attribute that title to. Accept reality. Second, once software and math becomes trivial and people get used to the fact they can conjure programs and proofs beyond human comprehension - once that becomes the new normal - science will turn its attention head to elsewhere. In particular, SF nerds will be pikachu-shocked to find out that solving math/swe doesn't automatically solve hunger, climate, violence, biology. So, these will become the next big thing in the frontier of science. Third, and this is where most are worried about - what happens to our jobs? This discussion will become more and more prevalent and some think UBI will be the solution. I don't think so. I think UBI will not be *needed* because the cost of everything will naturally go down to zero. I think this point is easy to visualize for things behind a screen. That utility app you pay a $20 / mo for? You will stop paying for it, because a local AI will rebuild the thing for $0.1, and someone will publish it for free. A 100% open App Store will probably emerge, and will be massively adopted because quality will be so high, and people don't want to pay for things they can get for free at higher quality. This is "auto-UBI" for software. We all can afford it now, not because the gov is sending us a $5k check every month, but because the cost of the thing is zero. If you accept that, then, it shouldn't be much harder to accept this will ALSO happen, to a large extent, to things in the real world. The food you eat, the water you drink, the car you ride. Real world goods cannot go down to literal zero because atoms aren't copiable, but their production will be so aggressively automated, each on their own way, that the practical result will be nearly the same. You'll walk into a store, grab stuff, and go home. You'll make a hand gesture, get into an auto driving car, and go wherever you want to. And if you think that's not going to happen, that's probably because you have this "but who pays for it?" on your mind. And that's the catch, nobody does. AI robots are producing all the stuff needed to sustain it in such an enormous abundance that there is basically no cost. "What prevents vandalism and abuse?" - Laws don't stop working, they get better too. This is so hard to visualize because we were born to live in a world where you must work to *survive*. This is so axiomatically ingrained in our brains we can't imagine another way. Your children will not live in this world. This is the future of humanity, and it will happen sooner than you expect. I'm not denying the transition won't be turbulent and I'm not invalidating these who are afraid. Some fields (swe for example) will be gone faster than others, and that IS a real concern. In particular, I think we should put a lot of pressure in ensuring this transition happens as smoothly as possible. But once it lands, humanity will be in a much better position than it is today. Your children will not work to live. They will just... live. And they'll look at work scales as view slavery today. Which is how it should be

@SpencerKlavan aight, ima block you now

So the scene where he strings the bow is particularly interesting in contrast to Pasolini’s The Return, in which he warms the bow over the fire to make it more pliable. That’s similar to the kind of trick that the *suitors* try in Homer, and in Nolan’s version. Pasolini makes it about Odysseus’s vaunted cleverness rather than physical strength. But Nolan’s version is actually closer to the original in that here it’s the suitors who try to game the system and Odysseus doesn’t outsmart them—he’s just stronger. I think it really demonstrates how brains *and* brawn are part of what it means for him to be a complete hero, a man in full. There’s also a musical cue in Nolan that’s taken right from the similes in Book 21, where stringing the bow is compared to stringing a musical instrument and its sound is like that of a swallow. It’s one of the places where I think you can see Nolan is really attending to the text, whatever you make of how well or badly he interprets it

@michael_timbs @__alpoge__ why do you talk to it like that 😭

@__alpoge__ 5.6 wasn't even impressed until i asked it what it means then it was like holy shit i think you disproved the conjecture

hello there the jacobian conjecture is false thanx to my close friend akhil for asking about it and my other close friend fable for working during the world cup final ((1+xy)^3 z + y^2 (1+xy) (4+3xy), y + 3 x (1+xy)^2 z + 3 x y^2 (4+3xy), 2 x - 3 x^2 y - x^3 z): \C^3\to \C^3, has jacobian determinant -2, and sends (0, 0, -1/4), (1, -3/2, 13/2), and (-1, 3/2, 13/2) to (-1/4, 0, 0)

@growing_daniel @__alpoge__ @ProofofMaro this changes everything

@__alpoge__ @ProofofMaro Whoa

@modernhistory I don't like her big head

Gillian Anderson's unfiltered reaction stole the spotlight while sitting next to Megan Fox

@Cinema_says She looks like she's his mother

Maggie Gyllenhaal says sibling envy strained her relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal for years after his career took off faster than hers. "I spent a long time being separate from my brother... we had to work through some sibling envy. It's a real thing in our family, and in Hollywood." While casting Jake in The Bride! (2026), Maggie says she hesitated because their relationship had only recently healed. "I waited until I was absolutely sure... I remember asking him and tearing up alone in this hotel room because it meant so much to me."

@MythoYookay I thought she had a bug on her nose

@MiddleearthMixr The script is fucking atrocious

“I don’t support the Odyssey because there is a woman in it pretending to be a man.” Is a reasonable position. However, if we on the Right style ourselves as the arbiters of what constitutes good story telling then you need to be able to say when something is a decent film.

@TheFP wankery

Nolan trusts Homer—and his audience—to recognize that villains deserve defeat and heroes deserve to triumph, writes Spencer Klavan. thefp.com/p/there-is-goo…

@CumsonLance @rhymeswithbee real question is, could you milk the cyclops?

@rhymeswithbee I have teats, Leigh. Could the cyclops milk me?

Riddle me this: in the Odyssey, the Cyclops is raising sheep so he can make cheese. How does he milk their tiny teats with his ginormous hands?

@PageauJonathan I'm really disappointed in you sir. I trusted you on these things. The movie is utter slop. It hollowed out Homer's work almost completely and filled it with modern progressive garbage.

Pulling back a bit, I am noticing that the two biggest movies of the summer will probably be The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Both are about the difficulty and need to remember in order to restart a new world. Fascinating to see this trope appear as the WWII narrative continues to collapse. Sometimes I feel like the entire West has been wandering like PTSD struck soldiers since the end of WWII, incapable of returning home. I’m not saying it is in any way deliberate on the part of Hollywood, but the desire to remember and return home appearing in stories is a hopeful sign.

@curtis_yarvin more like age of Fortran is collapsing, yes?

“Our age of Lisp… is collapsing” “Wait - it’s you? You’re the C people?”

@TrevorOfficialR @HapistRitler you odyssey deez nuts

You odyssey this dick

@tris_does_stuff @Duderichy yeah you can get a best fitting line for any random set of points, so what? moron

@Duderichy Queue everyone who doesn't know how linear regression works. It's always the dumb fucks who think it's just drawing a random line, and that data always has to be in some super tight line with a high r² to show a trend. Basically all data in biology looks like this.

you have to be fucking joking lmfao

@Psikobilim_ those data points look random af

@georgebalaclava @eftimie glumesti, astia cu exterior strict sunt cei mai susceptibili la asta... au nevoie de descarcare... crede-ma, bunica-tu era scuturator campion

@dragos_fotache @eftimie Avand in vedere ca era genul militar foarte disciplinat si rece de ingheata camera, nu prea. Nici nu cred ca a scuturat-o mai mult de trei ori vreodata... Avertisment de vreo cand aveam 6-7 ani. Partea cu "onanisti retardati care nu stiu sa vorbeasca cu o femeie" a vazut-o

Amintirile din comunism funcționează la boomeri-mileniali la fel ca pornografia. Trebuie să devină din ce în ce mai violente sau incitante ca să le dea dopamină de-aia bună. Și, evident, tot mai departe de realitate. Și duc tot la masturbare.

@georgebalaclava @eftimie crezi ca bunicul tau n-a dat niciodata una mica...
