@simocristea I cant believe the p value is that low

same data

@kimmonismus Did AI write this?

What I still don't understand is the following: Scientists and CEOs of the most important companies in the world say that: -will cure all diseases in 5-10 years (Dario Amodei, Demis Hassabis, Masayoshi Son, Sam Altman) - in 1-3 years we will see 10%-20% unemployment (Dario Amodei) -robotics will take over blue-collar jobs in a few years (Tesla, Figure, Unitree) And people will either - don't believe it - they don't care - they deliberately ignore it Folks, these statements are made by people who certainly have a lot more knowledge about how their unpublished AI models they are developing; have projections that they don't publish; an armada of highly paid scientists who only do research on these topics, in short: the smartest people in the world. And the majority simply ignore this. I don't understand it. Even Barack Obama, the Pope and really every important person says that everything will change very soon, rapidly, radically. And most people don't care at all. I don't understand it.

@petebiblio @manwellperkins Ben Lerner is a great suggestion.

@manwellperkins Do you mean in terms of a literary celebrity (and a literary author, not Sally Rooney or someone like that)? Or do you mean successful literary authors? I can’t help but think of someone like Ben Lerner, who is a major literary author who is still putting out new stuff.

Literary history pretty much ends with DFW. Then maybe a minor footnote for Tao Lin. After that no one in literature is really famous the same way. But I don’t think it’s over

@robertoblake @molly0xFFF Super comphrensive answer 🙏🏽

Solo Entrepreneurs who can use them to replace a $1600-$4000/month vendors and single use $500 a pop vendors. And $2400 a year for an AI tool in many cases is cheaper than monthly cost they paid for those same tasks. Even the $20/month version of ChatGPT eliminated what was a $1200/month vendor for me with much better results. @OpusClip eliminated a task that either would take 10 hours a week of my time… or a $800/month vendor… If you use that tools properly you can built and automated workforce or clone army to scale a one person business to have the capacity of a 30 person startup and go down from 5 vendors to 2… $200/month represents a $20,000-$50,000 a year savings. I don’t think normal people understand modern small business owner. As it stands I have 20 automated task doing things in the background of my business that equate to 60 hours per week if done manually. This is everything from generating 20 clips from long form video per day including going tbd selects… providing transcription and accurate captions for those clips. Creating Time Stamps for live workshops weekly (as well as transcripts) creating summaries from every video we produce… Generating a list of sound bites and quotes from my video transcripts… Automated updates for any and all policy changes for platforms delivered to my inbox weekly. Automated note takers supplying summarized action plans to all of my clients from our meetings. AI aggregating these notes and finding patterns and helping me prioritize systems, solutions or resources that would benefit more/most of my clients and recurring and overlapping blindspots I didn’t see. We tied ChatGPT to Slack where my assistant takes manual notes from reviewing my group coaching calls, and we feed it into ChatGPT and get back analysis of ways we can help particular individuals more, or things that we missed in live the call that could be communicated better. It’s absurd how powerful this can be for individuals and very small teams… Most people, as much as it’s a cliche, aren’t using it properly.

Genuine question: who is the target customer for these $200+/mo AI subscriptions? They seem targeted to individuals, not business seats, and I’m having a tough time wrapping my head around who is buying these

@PessoaBrain Did an asctrocyte write that?

Go astrocytes!!!

@baym I cant believe the number of people responding to this with a “yea, but…”

I would really just like to study antibiotic resistance without political interference

@GaryMarcus @RmillerRalph Glad to see someone accurately describe whats going in

@RmillerRalph it’s reality, dude, and you have zero counterargument. off to mute.

@drkeithsiau Whats the treatment?

Unusual finding on CT scan in a patient with vomiting. What is going on here?

@piyushmittal N = 1 they just renewed my passport no problems

American citizens abroad are being denied passport renewals

@SynBio1 Looks like the trex data could have been a statistical artifact. And since we havent heard anything else im guessing it was

Today I was randomly reminded that one time in 2007 they were able to get protein sequences from T-Rex fossils and this seems like it should be a bigger deal pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17431180/

@Mikel_Jollett I wonder how long Dems have to be right in order for people to trust them

I keep reading that people are surprised we Democrats were right about Trump’s economic stupidity. Guess what? We’re also right about his desire to end democracy. We’re also right about the fact that he is a tool for Russian interests All of this has been obvious since day one.

I’m not saying Trump is a Russian asset trying to destroy America from the inside, I’m simply saying if he was, it would look exactly like this.

We’ve done this mass tariff thing 3 times in American history. 1828, 1930, 2025. All spaced about 100 years apart because everyone who remembers the last one needs to be dead for the next one to happen. The last two caused a depression. I hope this one makes us rich tho.

This is a lack of leadership in real time. A leader is meant to inspire what people like, not chase applause from whomever

Elon Musk has "fallen for audience capture," Gawker founder Nick Denton says. "Rubio, Musk, Vance, Trump — they're all competing for the applause from these 500 nuts on X," he tells @semaforben and @maxwelltani on Mixed Signals.
