@INArteCarloDoss Starting to think it’s always been like this. I just wasn’t paying attention

I can’t believe what Israel turned into honestly… can’t get over it…
Itay Epshtain@EpshtainItay
I did not expect to find myself nodding along to Tzipi Livni, Israel's former, and hawkish, Foreign Minister. Yet here we are. She is right on this: A State that treats the rule of law as optional, and human rights as conditional on race or nationality, irreparably corrodes itself. The decades-long project of violently subjugating Palestinians has not only harmed its victims. It has consumed Israel, from within.

Sums up modern Fianna Fáil that its current leader cites Winston Churchill as someone he considers a “great war time leader”. Dear god.

@dhh Do we offer amnesty for the “America is the bastion of free speech” lectures you gave us?
English
Now that the wheels have fallen off the woke regime in tech, we'd be smart to offer amnesty to those who got caught up in it. Be the counter force to the purity purges that plague that side. Accept earnest apologies, embrace the fallen, and forgive those who trespass against us.

@INArteCarloDoss @FranceskAlbs Poor form going after Cantona for this. Also poor form not paying your debts to Travis. Come on man grow a set.

@FranceskAlbs I am sorry Francesca but Cantona is a total idiot…

@dejanvasic85 I think the more likely scenario is what happens to bitcoin if inflation rises. Historically it declines.
English
If there are 3 trillion dollars stored in Bitcoin what happens to inflation once that money makes its way back into the real market? Would it make a difference?

@profplum99 Any updated views on the longer term prospects bitcoin? Personally not a fan but it looks like im a dying breed these days
English
My favorite response. And they say Bitcoiners don't think...

I voted for gun, but I’m impressed by the guy holding a 33lb brick. If he’s got that type of arm strength he’s got a fighting chance. I’d shoot him first. Then torture the bitcoiner with the reality of a formerly rich dead man in the room and choice of death by bashing or multiple, strategic shots that give him time to ponder life choices. But that’s just me.

@trader1sz If you expected morals from ANY crypto founders you’re going to be massively disappointed

@destraynor @Padday Very interesting listening 👍
I don’t fully agree — current AI is hugely useful, but feels like it’s hitting a ceiling. Time will tell.
English
Started a new podcast with @Padday — I promise I’ll never be this hairy on camera again (I didn’t expect it to air 😅)
We covered:
1 Don’t build a MiniDisc
2. AI= both new market + low-end disruption
3 Roles are collapsing
4 UIs are rebundling
5 Cynics will be left behind
Enjoy

In discussions with young pple I am usually protective & diplomatic (that also applies to nice older people).
Peterson is both an asshole & an idiot.
He doesn't even know that, in the foundation of epistemology, "true" and "belief" are not equivalent (JST=justified true belief).

One reason Jordan Peterson is so poor at reasoning is he's surrounded by sycophants who don't give him feedback on his extremely flawed arguments. Here's what happens when he tests his ideas against someone who isn't in his close circle of salad brained pseudointellectuals

Fun weekend project with Veo 3 and Flow, ElevenLabs for most audio, ChatGPT image gen for characters, Box AI for scene and prompt ideas. And some inspiration from the 6 year old.

@destraynor Is this guy claiming what LLMs are doing when they predict the next word is actually “understanding” everything about the question
There is ZERO understanding.
English
This is such a simple and powerful little clip that cuts the core of what AI is (or isn't) doing.
Sadly most of the people who would benefit most from it made up their mind a long time ago, and they ain't changing it.
Derya Unutmaz, MD@DeryaTR_
This is the most clear & important explanation about how LLMs work. Remarkably, there are still people who claim that AI can’t produce anything original because “it just predicts the next word.” Listen to Ilya to understand what “understand” really means.

@robotiguy @destraynor Whatever you’ve been smoking put it down 😂
English
Have been thinking about this a lot recently and my views have evolved quite a bit. IMO - humans ARE just incredible biological prediction machines running on evolutionary system prompts we can't access or modify. Survive, reproduce, seek resources, avoid threats - these are our hardcoded instructions.
What we call 'free thought' is just pattern matching against millions of biological and environmental inputs happening below conscious awareness. The dismissal of AI as 'just predicting tokens' reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of how all intelligence works.
There is increasingly no meaningful distinction between biological and digital cognition - only different substrates running the same underlying process.

@LeahSmith_Sport Never will I trust unreputable companies.
Only ever trusted Sorare and Stocksfc
Stocksfc - got away with 93% of my investment - around €4000
Sorare - all cards are devaluing themselves as hell. Still playing but never “investing” 1 more cent

@bitcoinjack Bitcoin morons will love this. They think the fact they “own” a password that somehow protects them from violence

Instead, the EU should work with the US to gain leverage and strengthen freedom values
English
Arguably the worst the EU can do is go suck China’s dick and embrace further descend in the future towards totalitarian social credit system, which is already being paved the way for through CBDC integration with digital and medical passports

@NicerInPerson @afneil The (pretty clear) point is countries are allowed to set standards. As long as they apply to all suppliers no matter their location they aren't protectionist. Any US farmer is capable of meeting AUS standards and selling to them without barriers. They choose not to.
English
This is typical of the nonsense being spouted by pro-tariff politicians in US.
Australia exports about £3bn beef per year to US at zero tariffs up to a quota laid down in US/Aus free trade agreement.
US exports no beef to Aus because it does not meet Aus hormone and biosecurity restrictions. Nothing to do with tariffs. Same reason Europe/UK won’t import US beef.
Even if US meat met Aus standards very little would be exported. Aus is self-sufficient in meat, US a big importer i.e not self-suffient. Again, nothing to do with tariffs.
Unofficial Trump on X@trump_repost
"I appreciate what the President is doing on tariffs...Australia has sold $29 billion worth of beef in the United States, and we haven't been able to sell one hamburger in Australia because of barriers...you look at these numbers, and the ranchers of Wyoming are saying thank you Mr. President, it is about time!"
