"That actor looks familiar. What else have they been in?" Most people: no idea. Neurodivergent me: phone already unlocked, character name searched, actor identified, IMDb open, casually naming five roles they played in 2013 like it's basic knowledge.

@matthewhughes @edzitron though unlike crypto and mlm schemes, you can run models locally on consumer-grade hardware and get solid results. paired with real-world use-cases (like automating tedious human interaction), there’s actual value here.

New newsletter: Generative AI is becoming the new crypto and multi-level marketing scam, promising non-techies that they can vibe-code their way to prosperity, without being candid about the costs and risks. whatwelo.st/p/generative-a…

we need a “Not interested, this is AI” button or a proper AI blocker. the algorithm needs to learn how badly most people don’t want AI slop.

@pathsnotchosen yeah i was a bit disappointed in that take, given that the market is clearly willing to still throw billions into ai furnaces

So the Ed Zitr*n hyper mega ultimate bombshell revelation that would shake the market to its very core and pop the AI bubble was....that OpenAI is losing a lot of money currently. Something we already knew and we've known for a while, with OAI projecting massive losses for years.

@SahilDhankhad @robj3d3 he spent the last few years riling up the entire software dev industry saying jobs were going away. i don't appreciate him in the slightest.

@robj3d3 He's an incredible researcher, which proves society often fails to appreciate the right people—they tend to favor those with flashy personas instead.

the single most mindblowing moment in cinema (for me) was watching Kingsman at a 4dx theater when the freebird/church murder scene came up.

@GergelyOrosz they're like every other money machine in history: optimize for the highest return at the lowest cost, and moderating ai spam is probably too expensive

I opened Facebook, saw AI-generated videos in my feed (undisclosed that its AI, of course, commenters clearly not noticing it). Wanted to report it. Facebook has no way to do so. Makes you realize Facebook *wants* users to post AI videos and it drives their business...

@paraschopra that's been the base case for humanity since forever. the average human is low-agency, the average brain seeks the lowest-energy path (the easiest habits, reward loops, etc). actively pushing against that is hard work.

There’s a plausible version of our future where AI completely destroys the thinking capacity for the majority of population, with most humans reduced to pressing enter or swiping up. The allure to not think is simply too strong and AI is the perfect drug to satisfy that.

getting the sneaky feeling that all the time/effort/money being spent on agents now, is about correlated with the peak crypto hype (2017), and after a few more months of substandard "returns" (broken apps, etc) people might realize they actually need to learn the hard way.

@Electrarythm worst part, it shifts over time: i've been journalling for over 10 years now, and i don't recognize the person (and what he knew about the world and himself, for sure) even 5 years ago.

There is a certain type of person everywhere now, especially online. He consumes endless information every day: philosophy, psychology, productivity, spirituality, neuroscience, business, self-improvement, history. He knows a little about everything and deeply experiences almost nothing. His entire identity becomes built around understanding instead of living. He watches videos about confidence instead of speaking confidently. Reads about discipline instead of becoming disciplined. Studies relationships instead of learning how to love. Consumes motivational content instead of taking action. He feels intelligent because he is constantly mentally stimulated. But stimulation is not transformation. Most of the time, knowledge becomes emotional protection. Reality is unpredictable. Reality humiliates. Reality exposes weakness. Books and ideas do not. Inside information, he can continue imagining himself as intelligent, deep, insightful, different from ordinary people. So he remains trapped in preparation. He constantly feels as if he is "becoming" someone, while his real life remains strangely untouched. He develops sophisticated language for problems he never confronts directly. He can explain human behavior beautifully while being unable to handle ordinary discomfort, rejection, uncertainty, loneliness, or risk. He slowly turns life into observation instead of participation. The internet rewards this personality heavily. He receives validation for sounding aware rather than becoming capable. Eventually, he begins confusing self-analysis with growth and information with wisdom. But beneath the intelligence usually exists the same thing: fear. Fear of failure. Fear of embarrassment. Fear of reality answering back. Because action destroys fantasy. The moment he truly acts, he can no longer hide inside potential.
