All Asian countries have low birth rates due to overpopulation, intense competition. But Korea is extra special because of its traditional Christian culture AND high-level Western feminism at the SAME time, driving the largest ideological divide between men and women on the planet. And on top that, they have the worst role models- they are a celebrity factory, but like none of the actors and singers even get married before 40, let alone get children. And on top of THAT they also have the most extreme looksmaxxing of any country on the planet by far. BMI > 18 means you're a fat pig. Women are super scared of getting children (=fat and ugly)

The UN projection for South Korean fertility is wildly, insanely, gobsmackingly optimistic. Come on, man.

@GremlinIndustry @r00k They do. Insta/Tiktok//makeup industry or even society uses manipulation techniques on women (young or middle aged) that u need plastic surgery (even beautiful miss worlds)... just different techniques tho. Nature is balanced if u look closely.

@StartupSpells @r00k Then they should be telling different lies and using different manipulation techniques on each sex

The fact that dating apps present the same interface to both men and women seems completely wrong to me. These are not the same kind of user! Their UIs should be built around totally different assumptions. They practically need to be separate apps!

🚨 BREAKING: OPENAI PRE-IPO FILING LEAKED OpenAI just told investors Microsoft is a risk to their business and they are diversifying away from them >be microsoft >give openai your money >give them most of your compute >become their primary distribution partner >their largest shareholder, 27% equity ($135 billion) >then officially list them as a competitor to microsoft Satya Nadella to microsoft board: "Don't worry if OAI disappeared tomorrow, we have everything we need. All the IP rights, the capability, the data, the compute... EVERYTHING. We are below them, above them, and around them." OpenAI pre-IPO filing to investors: “If Microsoft modifies or terminates its commercial partnership with us, or if we are unable to successfully diversify our business partners, our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected” the funniest part of all of this is 45% of microsoft cloud contracted backlog is driven by openai api… but openai just signed a $50B deal with amazon that violates azure exclusivity lmao Microsoft now threatening legal action against OpenAI most expensive breakup ITS HAPPENING

Incorrect: Gemini DeepThink is in the same class. It is more limited by the thinking budget, but I have to use both to get best results. Yesterday on one of the problems DT produced a much better solution - GPT-5.4 Pro agreed! “Your friend’s version is better” :-) chatgpt.com/s/t_69c193e012…
Ethan Mollick@emollick

GPT-5.4 Pro continues to be the only model of its class. For anything really hard & complex, I throw it into the maw with every bit of context I can think of. More often than not, something very useful comes out. I can't get the same results from Codex or Code or anything else.

Now before I reply to someone I have to check first that I'm not being baited by an account that spams everyone with AI-generated replies. Can you write some software to do this check for me @nikitabier?

OpenAI acquired Astral, the team behind uv, ruff, and ty. Fun fact: Claude is the #6 contributor to uv. Curious if Anthropic will ban them from using Claude since the team is joining OpenAI. Congrats to the Astral team who built incredible Python tools!

@shadcn > Work that, for now, AI can't do. How come? I did tell it to follow WCAG guidelines + contrast ratios & sometimes use Puppeteer & it worked but for different problem.

To get translucent menus right, we had to manually test components over different gradients & colors, checking visuals & accessibility. Now multiply that by 5 component types across 5 styles in both light and dark modes. It's a lot of work. Work that, for now, AI can't do.

@noampomsky its called making decisions fast. good workout session or good hobby = healthy mind. healthy mind = u can work faster. but nothing matters if u cant make decision fast. speed to decision needs to be instant. difference between rich & poor is speed to decision.

as a rule the psychologically healthier someone is, the less time it takes them to do something they were eventually going to do anyway. Anything from sending a text to quitting a job. I’m not sure what to call it—processing time? lack of blocks? low avoidance?

I dont share Yann LeCun's point of view If it's true, how can he explain the intelligence in blind humans? They have never seen even a pixel in their life, but they are often as smart as a non-blind person. He makes a typical mistake scientists/devs make by being ego-stubborn
Rohan Paul@rohanpaul_ai

Yann LeCun (@ylecun ) explains why LLMs are so limited in terms of real-world intelligence. Says the biggest LLM is trained on about 30 trillion words, which is roughly 10 to the power 14 bytes of text. That sounds huge, but a 4 year old who has been awake about 16,000 hours has also taken in about 10 to the power 14 bytes through the eyes alone. So a small child has already seen as much raw data as the largest LLM has read. But the child’s data is visual, continuous, noisy, and tied to actions: gravity, objects falling, hands grabbing, people moving, cause and effect. From this, the child builds an internal “world model” and intuitive physics, and can learn new tasks like loading a dishwasher from a handful of demonstrations. LLMs only see disconnected text and are trained just to predict the next token. So they get very good at symbol patterns, exams, and code, but they lack grounded physical understanding, real common sense, and efficient learning from a few messy real-world experiences. --- From 'Pioneer Works' YT channel (link in comment)
