@harleyf @fnthawar Optimizing for liberal voters

If bigger government meant better results, Canada would be crushing it. We’re not. So what are we actually optimizing for?

@elonmusk Scary to think how screwed the West would be if that had not happened. The question is how to displace the MSM entirely, with the voting population believing their false narratives across Western societies.

Yes

Accurate

@harleyf @tobi Right, you had a well-rounded leader leadership team with a distribution responsibility. In comparison with teams of “ well-rounded leaders” without extreme depth of capability in one domain.

Most companies build “well-rounded” leadership teams. We didn’t. @tobi is the best product mind in commerce. My job is storytelling. Clear ownership. Deep trust. High agency. You don’t need well-rounded leaders. You need people doing the thing they are exceptional at.

BREAKING: 🔴🔴 U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: "A SHORT TIME AGO, THE UNITED STATES MILITARY BEGAN MAJOR COMBAT OPERATIONS IN IRAN."

No-brainer

🚨 UPDATE: In a jaw-dropping act that's sending shockwaves across Europe, the mayor of the town of Magnanville ceremonially took down the European Union flag in front of the town hall. The mayor chanted, "Down with the EU, Ursula von der Leyen out – Viva la France!"

@tobi LFG

We need to move faster

@Inevitablewest Why are they not voting that way?

🚨BREAKING: JD Vance: "They think we hate Europe, we don't. We love Europe. We want Europe to control its borders because we love European civilisation and want it to preserve itself." The silent majority in Europe agree.

@EvanLSolomon One of the best things I’ve heard come out of this liberal government to date. This is so important.

Contrary to media reports, Canada is not considering a ban of X.

This is a great honeypot. Any government official who suggests banning X is not a public servant and needs to resign. Let’s see what happens.

How to save the West from its death spiral.

@karpathy My cousins in Serbia always told me about oral exams where they had to answer questions verbally. Well before advanced studies. Seems like a win in all kinds of ways.

A number of people are talking about implications of AI to schools. I spoke about some of my thoughts to a school board earlier, some highlights: 1. You will never be able to detect the use of AI in homework. Full stop. All "detectors" of AI imo don't really work, can be defeated in various ways, and are in principle doomed to fail. You have to assume that any work done outside classroom has used AI. 2. Therefore, the majority of grading has to shift to in-class work (instead of at-home assignments), in settings where teachers can physically monitor students. The students remain motivated to learn how to solve problems without AI because they know they will be evaluated without it in class later. 3. We want students to be able to use AI, it is here to stay and it is extremely powerful, but we also don't want students to be naked in the world without it. Using the calculator as an example of a historically disruptive technology, school teaches you how to do all the basic math & arithmetic so that you can in principle do it by hand, even if calculators are pervasive and greatly speed up work in practical settings. In addition, you understand what it's doing for you, so should it give you a wrong answer (e.g. you mistyped "prompt"), you should be able to notice it, gut check it, verify it in some other way, etc. The verification ability is especially important in the case of AI, which is presently a lot more fallible in a great variety of ways compared to calculators. 4. A lot of the evaluation settings remain at teacher's discretion and involve a creative design space of no tools, cheatsheets, open book, provided AI responses, direct internet/AI access, etc. TLDR the goal is that the students are proficient in the use of AI, but can also exist without it, and imo the only way to get there is to flip classes around and move the majority of testing to in class settings.

@tobi I like the approach, and would like to add exclusion criteria or deduction criteria- eg if breaking the law immediate expulsion or at least a sever negative rating applied.

Here is how it could be fixed: buildcanada.com/memos/recogniz…

@calcsam Book

icymi we wrote a new agents book: patterns for building ai agents it has everything you need to take your agents from prototype to production, like agent design patterns, the basics of security, etc reply to this tweet with BOOK and we'll dm you so you can get a copy

@HeleneMaat93293 @EvaVlaar @lidewij_devos It is a problem there too, that the mainstream media is fastly biased, supporting the left?

In four days, general elections will be held in the Netherlands - and it seems that the Dutch have totally lost the plot. The polls have Wilders' PVV in the lead, but with almost 10 fewer seats than in the last election. Meanwhile, the far-left, along with the globalists, the neoliberals and the centrists, hold a majority and will be able to form a coalition. Praying for a miracle, but it seems like the majority of the Dutch population is just wearing blinders at this point.

@yacineMTB Bengio

Basically every famous computer scientist is Canadian. Andre. Karpathy. Hinton. Alexnet. Rob pike. Yacine. Elon. Grimes. All Canadian

@MarkJCarney I haven’t seen more ugly houses in a 10 second span in my life.

Canada’s new government just released the Housing Design Catalogue.   It has 50 standardised housing designs that builders will use to streamline approvals, cut through red tape, and get millions more homes built, faster.
