Do it for her

@justalexoki After a certain point it’s not the man’s job especially if she doesn’t communicate or put in effort.

most women are extremely bad at sex (which is why so many of them struggle to finish) men are just too horny to notice or care

@karpathy It’s a three legged stool : models, integration , and iteration. Chain of thought reasoning was the breakthrough. Combine these four things it’s a new plateau

Judging by my tl there is a growing gap in understanding of AI capability. The first issue I think is around recency and tier of use. I think a lot of people tried the free tier of ChatGPT somewhere last year and allowed it to inform their views on AI a little too much. This is a group of reactions laughing at various quirks of the models, hallucinations, etc. Yes I also saw the viral videos of OpenAI's Advanced Voice mode fumbling simple queries like "should I drive or walk to the carwash". The thing is that these free and old/deprecated models don't reflect the capability in the latest round of state of the art agentic models of this year, especially OpenAI Codex and Claude Code. But that brings me to the second issue. Even if people paid $200/month to use the state of the art models, a lot of the capabilities are relatively "peaky" in highly technical areas. Typical queries around search, writing, advice, etc. are *not* the domain that has made the most noticeable and dramatic strides in capability. Partly, this is due to the technical details of reinforcement learning and its use of verifiable rewards. But partly, it's also because these use cases are not sufficiently prioritized by the companies in their hillclimbing because they don't lead to as much $$$ value. The goldmines are elsewhere, and the focus comes along. So that brings me to the second group of people, who *both* 1) pay for and use the state of the art frontier agentic models (OpenAI Codex / Claude Code) and 2) do so professionally in technical domains like programming, math and research. This group of people is subject to the highest amount of "AI Psychosis" because the recent improvements in these domains as of this year have been nothing short of staggering. When you hand a computer terminal to one of these models, you can now watch them melt programming problems that you'd normally expect to take days/weeks of work. It's this second group of people that assigns a much greater gravity to the capabilities, their slope, and various cyber-related repercussions. TLDR the people in these two groups are speaking past each other. It really is simultaneously the case that OpenAI's free and I think slightly orphaned (?) "Advanced Voice Mode" will fumble the dumbest questions in your Instagram's reels and *at the same time*, OpenAI's highest-tier and paid Codex model will go off for 1 hour to coherently restructure an entire code base, or find and exploit vulnerabilities in computer systems. This part really works and has made dramatic strides because 2 properties: 1) these domains offer explicit reward functions that are verifiable meaning they are easily amenable to reinforcement learning training (e.g. unit tests passed yes or no, in contrast to writing, which is much harder to explicitly judge), but also 2) they are a lot more valuable in b2b settings, meaning that the biggest fraction of the team is focused on improving them. So here we are.

@BrandonStraka Tax the natives subsidize the immigrants

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani unveils a “racial equity plan” directing resources toward “black and brown New Yorkers” across city agencies. Critics argue the policy raises concerns over race-based treatment.

@elvissun @FastCompany @garrytan Coding will compress, systems will expand

this thread is what mass cope from legacy devs looks like. i talked to @FastCompany about why @garrytan's "AI slop" is actually the future of software engineering. the mass code review. the line-by-line gatekeeping. the "craftsmanship" that was really just slow iteration disguised as rigor - that era is over. and the engineers who built their entire identity around it are panicking. @gregorein brags about burning 3 billion tokens last year while dunking on garry for flexing lines of code. i've burned 6.6 billion in the past three months on codex alone. by his own logic, i'm 8x as credible. see how silly that sounds? yes, he found real issues. yes, they got fixed. that's exactly the point. karpathy's autoresearch proved this already - AI agents can solve very complex problems just by operating inside feedback loops, iterating to optimize a loss function. this is what software engineering is now - gradient descent. ship, measure, self-correct, repeat. all by the agent itself. this is the new startup playbook. your job isn't to review every line before deploy. your job is to build systems where agents observe outcomes - mrr, analytics, error rates, user behavior - and self-improve. the engineer's role shifts from gatekeeper to building the machine that builds the machine. you could run this level of audit (using AI) on any production site and find the same issues - most just don't have a billionaire CEO attached for virality. mocking the people who adapted is easier than adapting. but the craft is evolving whether you like it or not.

@chirno_helmet The real joy is it’s less a matter of what and more a matter of consistent application

アメリカ人に聞きたいんだけど、 アメリカの一人当たりGDPは日本の2.6倍もあるのに、 なんでそんなに生活が苦しい人が多いの？ 高所得の人がたくさんいるんだから、再分配を少し強化するだけで、貧しい人たちの生活はぐっと楽になると思うけど、なんで再分配を強化しないの？ ちなみに、再分配を強化するのは社会主義でも共産主義でもないよ。 それは修正資本主義。君たちの大好きな資本主義を、ほんのちょっと修正しただけのものだよ。

@TheSalonDon Gold soon when they can synthesize it. Pebble bros in ruins

I spent $70k on this natural diamond engagement ring two years ago Worth basically nothing now And every other chick has a bigger lab grown ring for $10k

@TheVallyD >super girl movie >too adult for girls Let’s see how this goes at the box office

You know, there's this *whole other way* of promoting a movie/project like this where you're the actor/actress or the director/showrunner and you go: "Hey, I just want to reach out to the fans & tell them how excited we are to be working on this beloved property."

@bartlebytaco Text based internet will be born and die with us

as a firmly middle millennial i wonder sometimes if there’s a single cultural trope or inheritance my age group produced that has aged well. our mount rushmore is like, jim from the office, heckin doggo parlance, buzzfeed, reaction gifs. sad stuff

@bizlet7 As obvious as the rising sun to any married guy

MacKenzie probably sighed when she had to give him duty sex whereas Lauren Sanchez enthusiastically blows Jeff and makes him feel like a Chad. There. Mystery solved.

@j3lqingt0n Long hair big boobs and a big butt, robust, not fat like those are the essential ingredients after that doesn’t really matter

This just proves the point that if you're significantly manly there's nothing hotter than going all out on a slightly ugly shy girl who looks decent naked and teaching her what sorts of sounds she can make. It's the sexual equivalent of burning anthills with a magnifying glass.

@EricRWeinstein I would opine the correct formulation of ai will evolve to "inferencing as a computing substrate" i.e. a way to compute data -- will be more comprehensible to applications.

Peter: they are not PhD level in physics. You trail behind a model picking up all it breaks. This is a bleeding edge malfunctioning military grade research project weirdly marketed direct to consumer to fund R&D at the top of mad hype cycle that’s likely *directionally* correct.

@jakebrodes It’s the first porno

I love seeing these sculptures and imagining there’s one guy in the tribe who’s just beast as fuck at making these things. Maybe he can’t hunt or fight worth a fuck hit god damn can he make a Tree PAWG. Probably the coolest fucking guy in the tribe.

@karpathy @KenWattana Its worse than that it’s initiating cognitive offloading

@KenWattana yes exactly! a bit like i'm being manipulated in some creepy way. "please like me, look how much i know about you, we are good friends".

One common issue with personalization in all LLMs is how distracting memory seems to be for the models. A single question from 2 months ago about some topic can keep coming up as some kind of a deep interest of mine with undue mentions in perpetuity. Some kind of trying too hard.

@AlexanderPayton It’s like these people are glimmering themselves

@DouthatNYT The more interesting point here is maybe there is a terminal decline of culture when the majority cohort realigns around their values. We currently entitle the elder boomer but if millennials just move into those privileges by merit of age will we ever see a youth moment again

This is a correct take, and per the BAPist theory I assume that all this powerful Dionysian energy produced a major fertility spike in the '60s and '70s relative to the more bourgeois-Christian 1950s? A veritable baby boom, even? x.com/RogueScholarPr…

@cremieuxrecueil Easy. Men put down ipas.

Why have testosterone levels been rising over time? The testosterone levels of American men are up compared to what they used to be, but no one has a good explanation. Let's look through some possibilities🧵

@QuasLacrimas Everybody loves baps eugenics till a black guy shows up

BAP will literally propose the biggest financial giveaway to intelligent young Christian couples in the history of western civilization, and the response from christian e-girls seems to be… kvetching?
