@Romy_Holland Are people even in it for the right reasons? People treat relationships like a product, complain about them to imaginary customer service, pick life partners by way of self love, and shelter in place with them like it's the end of days. Lost children.

it’s plainly true that a vast majority of people never change and it doesn’t matter how badly the person you’re dating wants to change, they almost certainly won’t. they won’t outgrow it, they won’t figure out the one weird trick to stop doing the bad thing or start doing the good thing or whatever. marry them with the expectation that their flaws will not disappear, and will in fact become more obvious and annoying to you over time.

@Perpetualmaniac @davepl1968 The Amish are socially isolated with little genetic inflow. They are practically evolving into a separate species at this point.

@davepl1968 The only population that doesn't have this trend are the populations that don't vaccine. Scientists are "baffled"

I dunno, I got the Covid vaccine, and now I have autism. Of course I guess I had it before, but is that just a coincidence? ASD is a genetic variation that is sometimes expressed "too much", in a way that becomes a disability to the individual. So I wouldn't be too quick to label it a blanket "good thing" unless you've walked a mile in the shoes of all the people that have it and those who care for them. It's not always a superpower. It can be, though! And for society as a whole, it's essential to our technological development. There's likely a "right amount" for every tribe and culture. Like intelligence, aggression, ambition, and most other traits, it's a spectrum where we get a wild mix of individuals, and in the natural setting, it would all just work out. But statistics are of little consolation to the individual when they are highly affected.

@PeterDiamandis But words paint pictures

The human brain processes visual information 60,000x faster than text. Humans are visual processors, not text processors. Images hit the brain instantly. Words take work. That's why a single SpaceX launch video communicates more than a thousand-word essay—and why your slide decks hit harder than paragraphs. We're wired for pictures, not prose.

The physics of data centers in space are questionable but nobody wants to live near a data center and they're running out of places to build them. That's such a big hurdle that they're literally trying to build them space.

@ADHDForReal This would be hostile to typical neurology and create the exact same situation we're in now but with them in our shoes.

I think I'm done writing software for money cause this is actually what a normal dev is like. I mean, I don't know if this is someone new to software or what, but I can't even tell anymore. Trying to convince people in this field to let you give a single f about the quality of your work is impossible. It's not something that should even have to be brought up. It should be tacitly understood that quality is important. It should be tacitly understood what quality means. This should be expected by default of everyone. Imagine if you were a fire fighter and you had to convince your peers to let you use the fire hose, but they didn't know what the hose was, and when you explained it to them they thought you were lying, and when you proved it existed they said it wouldn't work, and when you demonstrated that it worked they said it was dangerous, and when you proved that it was safe they said you were old fashioned. Meanwhile everything is burning. Everywhere I go everything is completely broken for everyone. I'm embarrassed to be a programmer. It is now a widely accepted narrative that devs built technology that exploited everyone, made them all miserable, and breaks constantly. Devs love their new toys but users hate all of it. Just cause they use it doesn't mean they like it. They're just stuck with it. Devs won't stop patting themselves on the back until people go full Amish. I guess if I had no other way to make money I would just keep doing it, but I think I've had about enough. It's been about 5 years and the light at the end of the tunnel just keeps getting dimmer. I am just going to wrap up my current projects and quit to save my sanity.

@oxtkayaxo @davepl1968 Touché

@heyotetsuo @davepl1968 Being willing participants of toxic behavior doesn't change what it is. Listen to how they talk behind each other's backs afterwards. They hate it too.

Sometimes I will listen to two neurotypical people argue. And it will seem like they're doing very bad, because neither is saying what they mean. Neurotypical people don't just say what they want; they spend their time trying to manipulate each other into spontaneously reaching a desired conclusion. That's when I helpfully interject by explaining what they're ACTUALLY saying to one another. I translate. And that's when I become the bad person. Which is why I've (mostly) learned: not my circus, not my monkeys.

@PopulusAlb98772 @NoNonsenseND Ages 25-40. All I remember is that she started talking and everyone else stopped and I couldn't figure out what the topic was and how to engage.

@heyotetsuo @NoNonsenseND That might also have other reason, yet i was not there so i can't judge. What i see here is ''everyone'' is also if everyone there thought everyone had the same opinion i'm starting to doubt this story. Was it between the ages of 14 to 21?

@ThePrimeagen Solid lawsuit material imo. LLMs have alignment, not intent. You can say a human meant well, but an LLM is just randomly misaligned. If LLMs cause a security breach and you can prove that the devs knew that risk and still shipped, then you could make a ton of money.

guys, i honestly do not like clowning on Gary. I don't find being the butt of a joke funny, so I imagine he does not either. But, this is what worries me about where we are going. We are actively encouraging an entire generation that the tech is there when its not, and a couple of silly mistakes made on a website isn't the end of the world, but people's data and breaches are serious. We are entering a very VERY hackable world, and I do not like it one bit.

@Romy_Holland There is an entire dimension of existence along a spectrum of emotion that people use to navigate life and people who rely too much on intellect see it as chaos cause they're too out of touch. I don't understand it either, but I know when I don't know, and this is that.

i’ve known several people who became much worse versions of themselves and at the same time started saying things like “everyone’s upset because they’re used to my old patterns and it’s scary to them that i’m acting different now, but this is actually me being my best self.” this is interesting bc it allows them to dismiss any criticism/concerns as someone not understanding them or trying to hold them back. what i dont get is why this type of person is always of the instagram self-help archetype. if you’re really into personal growth, why construct a narrative that completely prevents you from getting helpful feedback from ppl close to you?

@Hitchslap1 In a competitive market, that truth is crushing. Those with more are obliged to be more generous to those with less.

More IQ is obviously better than less. Why do so many people deny this obvious fact? Very strange.

All the yapping about how unused RAM is wasted RAM, went out the window today when a non-technical user deciding how to spend their money said this about their computer: "It supposedly has 64gb of ram but it doesn't feel like it" If you're so smart, make it feel like 64gb.

@EliasGravesLit @InterstellarUAP @JohnPar1416198 @mattgaetz Sorry but are you actually assuming that an alien from outer space would need to bang one of us to make a hybrid?

@InterstellarUAP @JohnPar1416198 @mattgaetz You can’t even breed with a chimp, which shares like 99.8% the same DNA. I call bullshit. Especially from Matt and Benny.

🚨 Matt Gaetz : “There is an ALIEN Hybrid Breeding Program” Rep. Matt Gaetz on what he was told in a classified congressional briefing by a uniformed U.S. Army officer: “I had someone come and brief me who was in a military uniform, worked for the United States Army, that was briefing me on the locations of hybrid breeding programs where captured aliens were breeding with humans to create some hybrid race that could engage in intergalactic communication. An actual uniformed member of the United States Army briefed me on that.” Gaetz added that recovered craft crashes examined by the CIA contained “non-human biologics” with no identifiable human source. This is straight from a sitting Congressman under oath-level clearance. No speculation — just what he says he was officially briefed. What do you make of it? 👇 ---

@adshotco @Ric_RTP He said it's wrong that LLMs are intelligent. You are saying that it's useful. But he also said it's useful. So, are you in agreement then?

meanwhile the rest of us are out here using the "wrong technology" to actually ship products that make money while lecun writes papers about the correct technology that doesnt exist yet. every generation of tech has the guy who insists the current thing is wrong and the real thing is 5 years away. sometimes theyre right. usually theyre just 5 years too early which in startups is the same as being wrong

The man who INVENTED modern AI just made a billion dollar bet that ChatGPT, Claude, and every AI company on earth is building the wrong technology. Yann LeCun won the Turing Award in 2018 for creating the neural networks that made AI possible. He spent a decade running AI research at Meta. Oversaw the creation of Llama and PyTorch, the tools that half the AI industry runs on. Then he quit. And raised $1.03 billion in a seed round. The LARGEST seed round in European history. $3.5 billion valuation before generating a single dollar of revenue. Bezos wrote the check. So did Nvidia. Samsung. Toyota. Temasek. Eric Schmidt. Mark Cuban. Tim Berners-Lee (the guy who invented the internet). His new company is called AMI Labs. And it's built on one thesis: Every AI company spending billions on large language models is wasting their money. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok. They all work the same way. They predict the next word in a sequence. See "the cat sat on the" and predict "mat." Scale that to trillions of words and you get something that sounds intelligent. But LeCun says it doesn't UNDERSTAND anything. It can't reason. It can't plan. It can't predict what happens when you push a glass off a table. A two year old can do that. GPT-5 cannot. That's why AI hallucinates. It doesn't have a model of how the world actually works. It just predicts words. His solution? Something called JEPA. Instead of predicting words, it learns how the PHYSICAL WORLD works. Abstract representations of reality. Not language but physics. Think about what that means. Current AI can write your emails. LeCun's AI could design a car, run a factory, operate a robot, or diagnose a patient without hallucinating and killing someone. The CEO of AMI said it perfectly: "Factories, hospitals, and robots need AI that grasps reality. Predicting tokens doesn't cut it." And here's what's really crazy to me... LeCun isn't some outsider throwing rocks. He literally built the foundations that ChatGPT runs on. He knows exactly how these systems work because he helped create them. And after watching the entire industry sprint in one direction for three years, he raised a billion dollars to run the OPPOSITE way. No product. No revenue. No timeline. Just pure research. He told investors it could take YEARS to produce anything commercial. But they funded it anyway in just four months. Meanwhile OpenAI just raised $120 billion and still can't stop their models from making things up. Anthropic is building AI so dangerous they're afraid to release it. Google is burning billions trying to catch up. And the guy who started it all says they're all solving the wrong problem. Two Turing Award winners raised $2 billion in three weeks betting AGAINST the entire LLM approach. LeCun at AMI. Fei-Fei Li at World Labs. The smartest people in AI are quietly building the exit from the technology everyone else is betting their future on. Either they're wrong and the trillion dollar LLM industry keeps printing. Or they're right and every AI company on earth just built on a foundation that's about to crack.

@komondors @XFreeze I hate seeing more garbage in orbit and all the resource consumption, but I also don't see how we become an interstellar species without going through this phase. NASA won't do it; they focus on discovery. SpaceX does efficiency. They're the only ones doing it. Let them cook.

@XFreeze More garbage in space? More garbage on earth at re-entry? More hands on things we dont fully understand? We've been here millions of years, space exploration 60. Why the he'll can't we leave shit alone?

TWO Falcon 9 launches in one day The pace SpaceX is launching is just Insane… For the rest of the space industry, it takes months or years to pull off one launch But in the last 24 hours, SpaceX completed TWO flawless missions: •⁠ ⁠119 payloads delivered to orbit •⁠ ⁠29 more Starlink satellites launched That’s 148 satellites in ONE DAY and this is quite routine for SpaceX SpaceX is operating on a completely different level

@GoGouger @DCinvestor Americans can shrug off anything except money. Don't mess with Americans' money. They never forget it.

It’s not a sure thing. Americans have a six-month memory at best for politics. So Trump has until mid-May to turn things around before he needs to get concerned about the mid-terms. Remember back in 1991 the first George Bush totally kicked the shit out of Saddam Hussein but then got stomped by Clinton in 1992. Americans forget very quickly.

what’s the best, grand unified theory on why Republicans seem totally OK with losing the House and possibly the Senate in the 2026 midterms, getting their POTUS impeached, and probably losing the next presidential election in 2028?

I may seem like there's no choice because your competition will get there first, but Apple's entire legacy is quality over shipping speed. They're always second movers who produce better products and end up with the most profit.

People think 90's software was better cause of the tooling, but it's just how much care was put into it. JS and AI aren't the problem. It's just shipping speed. Unless you're a rare brain that's 10x faster, then speeding up means worse quality no matter what. In some cases that's fine, but you have to accept this reality. It's the Fast / Good / Cheap triangle all over again. Everybody ships at ID Software's speed now, but still thinks at normal rates.
