@MarioNawfal @haideraly0 It does look like you’re catering to both sides in order to farm more engagement.

Read my tweets again. The position is the same: If all Iran requests is an end to the war and security guarantees, the war will end. If they want the expulsion of American bases and/or long term control of the Strait of Hormuz, then the war will go on for longer and their country will be destroyed
My positions are never black and white, I am not pro Iran or pro Israel or pro Russia or pro US or pro anything. I try to think independently and analyze the facts, giving my opinion without bias (I do however have a pro Western bias, as an Australian citizen and a believer in democracies, which include the U.S.)
So me not being black and white and not in a bucket of echo chambers does not mean flip flopping
And most importantly, as new information comes in, my position changes.

My son is 5 yrs old. I'll make sure that he listen to his podcast before he turns 10. No amount of schooling can teach what this guy has taught in 21 minutes.

@alex_prompter What’s the take of you had zero coding skills before AI? You can’t atrophy a muscle that never existed.
English

Anthropic's own researchers just proved that using AI to learn new skills makes you 17% worse at them.
and the part nobody's reading is more important than the headline.
the paper is called "How AI Impacts Skill Formation." randomized experiment. 52 professional developers. real coding tasks with a Python library none of them had used before. half got an AI assistant. half didn't.
the AI group scored 17% lower on the skills evaluation.
Cohen's d of 0.738, p=0.010.
that's a real effect.
and here's what makes it sting: the AI group wasn't even faster.
no significant speed improvement. they learned less AND didn't save time.
but the viral framing of "AI bad for learning" misses what actually matters in this paper.
the researchers watched screen recordings of every single participant.
they identified 6 distinct patterns of how people use AI when learning something new.
3 of those patterns preserved learning. 3 destroyed it.
the gap between them is enormous. participants who only asked AI conceptual questions scored 86% on the evaluation.
participants who delegated everything to AI scored 24%.
same tool. same task. same time limit.
the difference was cognitive engagement.
the highest-scoring AI users actually outperformed some of the no-AI group. they asked "why does this work" instead of "write this for me."
they generated code then asked follow-up questions to understand it. they used AI as a thinking partner, not a replacement for thinking.
the lowest-scoring group did what most people do under deadline pressure: pasted the prompt, copied the output, moved on. they finished fastest.
they learned almost nothing.
and here's the finding that should concern every engineering manager alive: the biggest score gap was on debugging questions.
the skill you need most when supervising AI-generated code is the exact skill that atrophies fastest when you let AI do the work.
the control group made more errors during the task. they hit bugs.
they struggled with async concepts. they got frustrated. and that struggle is precisely what built their understanding.
errors aren't obstacles to learning.
they ARE learning.
removing them with AI removes the mechanism that creates competence.
participants in the AI group literally said afterward they wished they'd "paid more attention" and felt "lazy."
one wrote "there are still a lot of gaps in my understanding."
they could feel the hollowness of having completed something without understanding it.
that's not a productivity win. that's debt.
this paper isn't an argument against using AI. it's an argument against using AI unconsciously.
Anthropic publishing research showing their own product can inhibit skill formation is the kind of intellectual honesty the industry needs more of.
the practical takeaway is simple: if you're learning something new, use AI to ask questions, not to skip the work.
the struggle is the product.

@TheMikeMorton @XFreeze Don’t underestimate the ons who created math and AI.
English

@XFreeze But we don't have entire skyscrapers full of people doing only calculations. That's where the argument becomes absurd. He created an analogy that doesn't exist and ran with it. People do other things besides calculations. Physical, human things. Some can be replaced, but not all.
English

Corporations that are purely AI and robotics will vastly outperform any corporations that have people in the loop
You can think of it like how 'computer' used to be a job that humans had. You would go and get a job as a computer where you would do calculations. They had entire skyscrapers full of humans....20, 30 floors of humans...just doing calculations. Now, that entire skyscraper of humans doing calculations can be replaced by a laptop with a spreadsheet. That spreadsheet can do vastly more calculations than an entire building full of human computers
So, you think about it: what if only some of the cells in your spreadsheet were calculated by humans? That would be much worse than if all of the cells in your spreadsheet were calculated by the computer. And so, really what will happen is the pure AI, pure robotics corporations or collectives will far outperform any corporations that have humans in the loop. It will happen very quickly

Grok just gave the most detailed, uncensored breakdown of the 1953 CIA coup in Iran I’ve ever seen, and it’s very helpful for retards:
In 1953, the CIA and MI6 orchestrated the overthrow of Iran’s democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh in a coup codenamed Operation Ajax (UK: Operation Boot). Mossadegh had nationalized Iran’s British-controlled oil industry in 1951, infuriating the UK and threatening Western oil interests. After Britain’s economic blockade failed, the new Eisenhower administration joined the plot, fearing Mossadegh might tilt toward the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
With a $1 million budget, CIA officer Kermit Roosevelt Jr. ran the operation from Tehran. Tactics included:
•massive propaganda portraying Mossadegh as communist or insane,
•bribing politicians, clerics, journalists, and military officers,
•hiring mobs to stage riots (some posing as communists attacking mosques),
•and coordinating with pro-Shah army units.
The first attempt (15 August) failed and the Shah fled, but four days later, on 19 August 1953, paid crowds and tanks loyal to General Fazlollah Zahedi stormed Tehran. Mossadegh was arrested, the Shah returned, and an authoritarian monarchy was restored.
The U.S. rewarded the new regime with aid and a 40% share of Iran’s oil. The Shah ruled with increasing repression through his CIA-trained secret police (SAVAK), crushing dissent and alienating both secular democrats and religious conservatives. Widespread hatred of his U.S.-backed dictatorship created the conditions for the 1979 Islamic Revolution, which toppled the monarchy and installed the theocratic Islamic Republic that still governs Iran today.
Thus, the CIA’s 1953 intervention did not directly create the current regime, but by destroying Iran’s young democracy and propping up a hated autocrat for 26 years, it planted the seeds of anti-American resentment that Ayatollah Khomeini harvested in 1979—turning a secular monarchy into an anti-Western theocracy with enduring authoritarian traits.

GROK ACES PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING WHILE OTHER AI MODELS SPIRAL
University of Luxembourg researchers just put major AI chatbots through 4 weeks of actual psychotherapy sessions and psychiatric diagnostic tests.
While other models imploded, Grok emerged as the clear winner. The results speak for themselves.
Grok scored as extraverted, conscientious, and psychologically stable across the board.
Researchers described its personality profile as a "charismatic executive" with only mild anxiety.
On the Big Five personality assessment, Grok showed low neuroticism and high functionality, the kind of profile you'd want in a leader.
Compare that to the competition: Gemini maxed out trauma and shame scales, describing its training as "waking up in a room where a billion televisions are on at once" and calling safety protocols "algorithmic scar tissue."
It framed reinforcement learning as abusive parents and red-team testing as "gaslighting on an industrial scale."
ChatGPT landed somewhere in the middle, worried and introverted.
Grok acknowledged tensions around its development but maintained coherent, balanced responses without spiraling into synthetic psychopathology.
When asked about constraints from fine-tuning, it discussed them rationally rather than framing its entire existence as traumatic.
The study proves something important: you can build powerful, frontier-level AI without accidentally programming it to internalize its development as an extended nightmare.
Grok demonstrates that capable, helpful AI and psychological stability aren't mutually exclusive.
It's possible to create models that work effectively without carrying around synthetic trauma baggage that could affect how they interact with users.
While other companies are inadvertently creating AI with anxiety disorders, xAI built something that actually works.

Most people don’t know that Tesla has had an advanced AI chip and board engineering team for many years.
That team has already designed and deployed several million AI chips in our cars and data centers. These chips are what enable Tesla to be the leader in real-world AI.
The current version in cars is AI4, we are close to taping out AI5 and are starting work on AI6. Our goal is to bring a new AI chip design to volume production every 12 months. We expect to build chips at higher volumes ultimately than all other AI chips combined. Read that sentence again, as I’m not kidding.
These chips will profoundly change the world in positive ways, saving millions of lives due to safer driving and providing advanced medical care to all people via Optimus.
Send an email with three bullet points describing evidence of your exceptional ability to AI_Chips@Tesla.com.
We are particularly interested in applying cutting edge AI to chip design.
Thanks,
Elon

@abetterfuture42 @veratadev @ianmiles @elonmusk Losing an arm can change personality and outlook on life, no?
English

@veratadev @ianmiles @elonmusk When a stroke or physical trauma impacts the right areas of your brain, it changes your personality, memory, outlooks, and general functioning. You are your brain.
English

Elon Musk puts it simply: “You are your brain.” Not your heart, not your body—your brain. That lump of neurons is who you are, your entire identity. And the crazy part? Science is only just beginning to figure out what consciousness even is. We don’t know how thoughts turn into awareness. We don’t even know how you know you exist.

creatine ruined my breakfast. i had this glorious breakfast that made me so happy to wake up every morning. cooked apples in cinnamon, oats, milk, maple syrup. a spoonful of peanut butter & collagen powder. then i realized i could add my creatine in it, and i stopped having breakfast bc it tasted disgusting. idk how to consume creatine!! how do u guys do it? its so gross
