@raifordpalmer @DavidSacks The thing with finding zero day exploits across all these companies is they will all release security patches, if this is for real.
So this would be a pretty huge and verifiable lie, if it’s a lie.

A growing number of people are wondering if Anthropic is the AI industry’s “boy who cried wolf.” If Mythos-related threats don’t materialize, the company will have a serious credibility problem.

“Anthropic's Claude Mythos isn't a sentient super-hacker, it's a sales pitch — claims of 'thousands' of severe zero-days rely on just 198 manual reviews” Get used to the “Effective Altruists” fear and self-hating multi-level marketing system, it is just starting.

@raifordpalmer @esegbona_luis I like the part where Bezos uses emojis.
English
@esegbona_luis What's the source of that quote? He never said that.
English
Jeff Bezos still couldn’t believe he lost $38 billion to his ex-wife after their div0rce.
According to the billionaire, “I can never make that mistake again in my life. I was married to this woman, MacKenzie, for over 25 years, but she just woke up one day and told me she was tired of our marriage because it was boring, and she wanted a divorce.
I begged her not to file for a divorce, but she still went ahead and did it. Then i realized that if she file for divorce, my wealth will be gone. 😭😭
When we got to court, my attorney was able to limit it to half of my cash and 4% of Amazon. If she could do this to me after 25 years of marriage, it only means marriage isn’t meant for men. I’ll never do this again.”
His divorce from his ex-wife is ranked as 2nd most expensive of all time, as the multi-billionaire paid her over $38 billion and gave her 4% of his company, Amazon.
She went from being a millionaire to a multi-billionaire overnight.
Can you imagine that❓

Oh, also, the Speedmaster remains a genuinely cool watch. IMO, the best version is the vintage "Ed White" with 321 movement, partly because it comes in the smaller 39mm size. Wally Schirra’s "Ed White" with a rare "true blue" bezel pictured below. Sold at auction last year 😮💨

@raifordpalmer It’s clearly incorrect. As a divorced product guy who started using dating apps, you see how it calibrates likely matches with their respective algorithms. It’s obvious how they do this bc it’s imperfect
The infographic assumes the top men will date the bottom 80%. They don’t.

This is such a thoughtful take. Have heard pieces of this before, but this integrates the parts of the problem. Insightful and disconcerting.

"Los hombres en la parte superior de la pirámide responden racionalmente a la repentina abundancia de parejas abandonando por completo el compromiso, ya que el incentivo para sentar cabeza ha sido estructuralmente demolido. Al mismo tiempo, las mujeres que acceden periódicamente a ese nivel superior, por muy brevemente que sea o bajo qué condiciones, recalibran permanentemente sus expectativas al alza, elevando sus exigencias hasta quedarse fuera del mercado realista de hombres que las habrían hecho genuinamente felices. Ninguno de los dos grupos actúa de forma irracional dados los incentivos que se les presentan, lo cual es precisamente lo que hace que esto sea tan dañino: Las aplicaciones no han corrompido el carácter individual tanto como han envenenado todo el mecanismo de coordinación a través del cual generaciones de gente corriente encontraron una pareja duradera. La consecuencia no es una cultura de citas que sea meramente insatisfactoria, sino una que es estructuralmente incapaz de producir los resultados que la mayoría de sus participantes realmente desean."

A few years ago, at our old office, we had a guy who decided to start camping on our front stoop (always drunk, often naked, etc.) and scaring the sh*t out of our staff.
We called the city and they sent out a team of 2-3 people who literally stood there talking to the guy for like 2-3 hours, trying to get him to come with them. He ignored them.
Multiply that across the 30,000 homeless people in LA and you can start to see why I think this is just nuts.

Imagine trying to get crazy people off the streets *by reasoning with them*

“Under L.A. mayor’s $300-million homeless program, 40% have returned to the street” The one thing missing in this article is the County. So many of these people are heavily addicted to drugs or mentally ill. They need to be institutionalized. latimes.com/california/sto…

@katrosenfield Also, there weren’t really many fat people before the 90s. Were people pre-1986 just more virtuous? Of course not. The systems to market and dispense calories got a lot more sophisticated.

I actually do understand why fitness people feel aggrieved by Ozempic— there’s this whole “but they didn’t work for it like I did!” thing going on— but being able to starve yourself without pharmaceutical assistance is not actually a measure of virtue
English
Seems silly; anger is linked to hunger and the thing about Ozempic people is that they’re not hungry
Mike Matthews@muscleforlife
Tip: Don’t tell people on Ozempic that if they ate the same amount of food without the Ozempic, they'd lose the same amount of weight. They get very angry.

@the_briarwitch @venturetwins I think you have to read the whole thing and look at the mental gymnastics of the narrator to assess her reliability. She explains away her own big red flags at each step, and has a history of immediately and explosively ending things (temporarily!) when feeling rejected.

@venturetwins Did you read the article?? What’s wild how much a POS her boyfriend was and thank god she read his chatgpt venting and can not waste any more of her life on a man like that

Wild article about a woman who broke up with her bf after reading his ChatGPT conversations about her.
I suspect we’re going to be seeing a lot more of this over the coming months as people use LLMs for emotional support / venting.

@moseskagan @CliffordAsness The idea of “psychologically burdensome” is pretty rich. It’s incredible how often people translate “didn’t want to” into language around mental health stressors that must be removed for medical reasons.
English
@CliffordAsness I don't write this lightly (have been reading the NY Times daily since ~8th grade):
That article read to me like an attempt to undermine our civilization.
There was no judgement at all about behavior that certainly crossed the line, in a few cases, into theft.

Perhaps only the NYT could drop this in the middle of a story, spend not a moment musing about it, and move on.

@ethanmckanna @OverlyTrev It’s worth considering someone may be making arguments they don’t believe for engagement with higher profile accounts.
English
@OverlyTrev You have a fundamental misunderstanding of how the SAE level system works. It has nothing to do with capability.
English
Ashok Elluswamy (Tesla VP of AI) said in the Q4 2025 earnings call that “a variant of the software that’s used for the Robotaxi service was shipped to customers with V14” The core software and hardware is now essentially the same.
The difference between supervised customer FSD and unsupervised Robotaxi operation is mainly a legal/regulatory one, not technical.
My customer owned Model Y could run on the Robotaxi network in Austin and then it’s ***Magically*** L4
One software update.
Ethan McKanna@ethanmckanna
@OverlyTrev FSD in customer cars is undeniably and objectively L2. It’s not even an argument
English
@OverlyTrev #4 is not true. Robotaxis at least have supplemental antenna, and no teardown exists.
If you don’t like the current scale, make a new scale, but moving FSD (which I use every drive) up that ladder for criteria it doesn’t meet doesn’t make sense.
English
All of Respect to Devin, definitely worth a follow, but I very strongly disagree with him here and have to give out my thoughts.
1. Point to point transportation with little to no intervention is NOT L2. I could really care less what the SAE levels say. But if you want to go by them that’s fine.
2. Ford BlueCruise and GM SuperCruise and Rivian UHF is also L2, so if that’s the case we should just tell everyone that
these are all exactly the same as FSD because by “definition” they’re the same.
That would be a blatant lie!!!
3. L3 does not shift any liability towards the company actually.
“In SAE Level 3 (Conditional Automation), the driver is primarily responsible if the vehicle crashes—unless the automated system fails to give a proper takeover request or malfunctions. Liability can be shared or shift to the manufacturer depending on the facts.”
As far as features go if your texting on your phone with a L3 system and you get caught you still get a ticket. I know this for a fact for NC law and many other states here share the same law.
4. Ashok said that Tesla Robotaxi is using a variant of V14.2 for PAID UNSUPERVISED PUBLIC RIDES! If I took my 26 Model Y AWD to Austin in the geofence and Tesla gave me the robotaxi software it could run Unsupervised. That’s literally a fact.
Saying FSD is not an L4 system when it’s literally giving Public Paid Unsupervised Rides doesn’t make any sense to me. That’s literally the definition of L4 if we’re going by those definitions.
Level 4 (High Automation): Car drives itself in certain areas/environments with no human needed.
Devin Olsen@DevinOlsenn
FSD that we use today in customer cars (14.2.2.5) is ADAS L2 The level systems are somewhat archaic, but the reality is FSD is level 2. Level 3 shifts liability to Tesla and removes the drivers responsibility, we aren’t there yet. Robotaxi is of course a different story, but I am speaking about FSD in customer cars only.

SMB owner buddy grabbed lunch this week with a former investment banker that is going through the bankruptcy process after the business purchased with SBA debt went under 18 months ago. Process is going to take a while to sort itself out while this person is going through the interview process to find a new W2 and is already fatigued with the numerous case studies and multiple rounds. Despite not a good outcome from business ownership, the idea of working for someone else is a real challenge. My buddy is also a former banker, and while his deal is working out nicely, he confessed that he wld rather straight up mow lawns before finding a new W2 if things went south. Neither him or his friend have kids. I think if I needed to support my family, I would have no problem going back to W2 but it is remarkable how it’s hard for many to ever imagine working for someone else even after the worse possible outcome.

We have a guy in his 70's that works at the car washes. He's wealthy my most standards, 5k sqft house, garage full of fast cars and UTV's.
Insists on making min wage, doesn't need the money.
Why does he work?
1) gets bored easily and doesn't like travel
2) needs work for purpose
3) has pain that gets worse if he sits a lot
4) has a wife that drives him nuts 😅
