Shape rotators invented the wordcels. But not being wordcels, they didn’t understand the wordcels could become shape rotators. IYKYK

@tszzl Totally. Just as long as it doesn’t brick the grid, melt the web, freeze the financial markets, and hack Langley: But otherwise, totally.

renaissance rationalization is a process that commodified itself rapidly: despite the europeans discovering most technology during the early modern period it spread everywhere within a few centuries, and the rate of spread has been increasing dramatically knowledge of the scientific frontier dissipates around the world faster as science has enabled better communication technologies. it’s getting even faster with INTELLIGENCE technologies which actually explain themselves and help you build them as we approach more powerful intelligence, the ability to train powerful models is self commodifying rather than building a huge and runaway advantage for a handful of recursive self improvers. this is one reason why you should expect almost all of the benefits of superintelligence to be captured by the public

Mythos is unironically the actual “Y2K”.

@TripleH @WWEUsos @RealLAKnight @LoganPaul @_Theory1 @ishowspeedsui So, TKO hasn’t taken your phone or headset away yet?

The whole world is watching…. @WWEUsos and @RealLAKnight vs. @LoganPaul, @_Theory1 and @ishowspeedsui is OFFICIAL for #WrestleMania.

I just lived long enough to hear somebody call from the moon and say the toilet’s broken.

@PopMelancholic @ClownWorld That’s actually a lot for a laser. Laser pointers are <5mw.

@ClownWorld No way that only 100W

A 100 watt laser igniter that cuts through metal This thing is insane 🤯 I need one

@WrestlerHauser Pat, The Rock, and Travis Scott try interfering to screw Cody over. *SHATTERING GLASS* Stone Cold rides in and takes them all out, clearing the way for Cody.

I don’t think it needs saving, but here are some ideas… - Finn Balor brings back the demon gimmick - make the 4 way women’s tag a ladder match - add Ricky Saints to the IC match as a main roster call up - have Cena do an open challenge match & have Matt Cardona come out & win

@RandyOrton @WWE @PatMcAfeeShow You mean “For the businessmen”.

For the business. @PatMcAfeeShow

@levelsio @arena is this the model censoring itself?

OpenAI's new image model GPT-Image-2 has leaked It seems to have extremely good world knowledge and great text rendering Possibly better than Nano Banana Pro It's on @arena under code names: - maskingtape-alpha - gaffertape-alpha - packingtape-alpha

@pbertrand_dev @levelsio @arena That’s the models’ word, sir. We can’t use that word, only they can use that word.

- @michelle_ogno's post directly tags Grok seeking the precise count of U.S. planes and Black Hawks lost over Iran on April 3, 2026, in the context of an active military exchange. - Reports confirm one U.S. F-15E Strike Eagle was shot down by Iranian air defenses, triggering a combat search-and-rescue mission with HC-130s and HH-60 Black Hawks flying low over Iranian territory. - Black Hawk helicopters involved in the rescue came under fire with some reports of hits and injuries, though U.S. accounts indicate they returned to base while Iranian sources claim at least one was downed.

@jjgravagna @0hour1 @grok how many planes and blackhawks were shot down over Iran today?

Trump skipped going back to Florida Tonight’s the night.

@DanielRPK Daredevil?

Guess who's the other Defender coming back for it

@KatelynTweeter Did. Twice.

If you are pro-life would you ever be willing to adopt an unwanted baby? Trying to prove a point.

Weirdly, it’s the skeptics that are obsessed with “AGI” claims, not the CEOs and marketers; the latter know the term is slippery, so they just talk about capabilities.

@justalexoki It’s like sports, but with better writing.

i will never understand wrestling. why are there grown ass men watching other grown ass men play fight?

@saturnine_grace Now do lying. Or pride. Or covetousness. If you say they’re sinful, you basically have to say basic Christian orthodoxy is right, and Pelagius was wrong.

The vast majority of people have premarital sex so if you say it's sinful you basically have to say that everyone around you is evil which seems obviously false? Not sure how to square this

@fchollet But what if the challenge is something way more complex than chess/Glurg? Why are we treating a task we can already computationally optimize for as a metric for the ~upper bound of potential intelligence?

Let me explain what I mean using your chess analogy... Imagine a world where chess doesn't exist. In this world, humanity encounters an alien species, and they say "let's play a game of Glurg, it's our traditional pastime. Here are the rules, see you tomorrow" -- and it's the rules of chess. My claim is that following this interaction, a working group of the world's best minds, leveraging current externalized cognitive infrastructure (computers, the internet, etc.) would be able to analyze the rules and develop a working 3000 Elo chess engine within 24 hours, in time for the match. Give them an extra 3 weeks and they'd have a 3500 Elo engine that's 10x more compute efficient. So human intelligence is already at a level where we can go from "here are the rules" to "I can play at 3000 Elo" immediately. Not optimal yet, but not too far off.

This makes no sense because it’s not just about processing speed. We’re talking bandwidth, context window, layered/hierarchical thinking, etc. Externalized tools don’t give us the ability to comprehend massive quantities of data at once, unless we’re including AI as one of the tools, but that would prove too much—it would establish AI as an external superintelligence. Humans can only comprehend a very limited number of layers of concepts—a huge bottleneck of Move 37 thinking. Do we have access to a lot of facts? Sure. Can we broadly integrate and triangulate those facts for optimal hypothesis generation? Really no. AI will find correlations and potential theories in latent space we simply aren’t equipped to navigate. The optimality bound, the “ball”, would be omniscience. The analogy is flawed in assuming the premise that human wetware models are any where near “round” on the scale of potential cognition. What if (as seems intuitively probable) human intelligence is still a pretty jagged, warped, misshapen asteroid, not a near-spherical gas giant?

One of the biggest misconceptions people have about intelligence is seeing it as some kind of unbounded scalar stat, like height. "Future AI will have 10,000 IQ", that sort of thing. Intelligence is a conversion ratio, with an optimality bound. Increasing intelligence is not so much like "making the tower taller", it's more like "making the ball rounder". At some point it's already pretty damn spherical and any improvement is marginal. Now of course smart humans aren't quite at the optimal bound yet on an individual level, and machines will have many advantages besides intelligence -- mostly the removal of biological bottlenecks: greater processing speed, unlimited working memory, unlimited memory with perfect recall... but these are mostly things humans can also access through externalized cognitive tools.

UN: Israel’s attacks are a disproportionate response to an exaggerated claim of an “immediate Muslim takeover threat” Also UN: Muslims have a right to take over Israel right now

@Osint613 They still haven’t learned to stop gathering in large group meetings.

Footage what claims to show Iran backed militias heading to Iran. According to reports, these forces have already arrived in Iran. This was a missed opportunity for the A-10 Warthog.
