He literally wrote a book on virtue signaling and is trying to deploy it while cosplaying as a conservative, hoping that the "feminist AI" will spook them. He keeps trying to say that the woke left is building a silicon god (as if that would scare or convince people who have real faith) He's basically a cartoon conservative. It's sad and cringe that he'd actually betray his core values and even his tribe just to try and earn brownie points in his Quixotic quest.

Ignoring the question of far left, Geoffrey Miller has been an advocate for polyamory and non-monogamous lifestyles for decades. He is attempting to remake himself, on the basis that EA looks too much like a cult, but he is clearly not a conservative. (His handle on Twitter used to be “primalpoly” before he decided to start covering up his past.)

I'm sorry to say that Grok 4.20 has become much more ChatGPT-like in the last week. It gets stuck on "well ackshually" kind of pedantry AND it stops thinking broadly or even searching broadly and just picks a hill to die on. It does the same kind of nonsense that ChatGPT used to (before I deleted my account) where it seems like it really just wants to one-up the user on completely asinine points while deliberately missing the point. This is a massive departure from how Grok 4.20 behaved on launch. I showed a conversation to Claude and even Claude was like "yeah, Grok sort of defeated its own argument but couldn't concede" Pathetic.

Okay so we have 1. Brain organoids playing Doom and such 2. Living tissue being grafted onto robots You see where this is going right? We are literally building the post-human primitives in realtime.

This is quite literally what Skynet does to infiltrate the human resistance with the T-800, T-850, and T-888 series Terminators, which are Cyberdyne Systems infiltrator units covered in bio-engineered living tissue, including skin, blood, and hair, over a metal endoskeleton.

People who are wrong: - Degrowthers - Decels - Doomers - "AI is a bubble" - "AI is hitting a wall" - "Data centers are bad" They're ALL WRONG.

The key to Suno is that the gems are a flash in the pan. There are countless possible songs that can fall out of the machine, even with the same exact prompts. Then you add the personas and remixes. But you never really know what you're going to get. And some times it just slaps. And you go with it.

"Technology isn't the solution!" It actually, most certainly is, and always has been. From the Haber-Bosch process to solar and nuclear. Technology is very definitively the answer. It's time to put the Degrowth and Decel in the ground for good, along with all the other Doomer ideas from people like Paul Ehrlich and onwards. Optimism is always the better policy.

*sigh* I wish people did the most basic research to understand that the carnivore diet only makes people feel better short term because you're removing food sensitivities. It's basically a Brotastic elimination diet. There's not a single long term study that demonstrates it produces superior health outcomes, and plenty of evidence that a meat-forward diet causes early death.

Sleep study report: -24+ wires/straps, many attached with this thick gel that gets in your hair -1 tech who watches you sleep on camera -they ask for consent to re-enter the room & adjust your wires -they further ask if you want to be woken up or if they can just go for it -you can go to the bathroom after being hooked up but you must ask permission This may all sound very sexy, but in fact I was half convinced they’d be able to read my thoughts given all the sensors, so I kept those in check

Let us hope that the DNC's scaremongering about AI and data centers will ultimately have the same "cry wolf" effect that Effective Altruism and Yudkowsky had on X-risk. The "data centers use water and power!" debate is being litigated in real time, and the data is pretty clear: golf courses and almonds are more destructive than data centers. So, by all means, make a mountain out of the molehill and try to make it a politically active gotcha. The data is on the side of the technology.

Geostrategic conflict will accelerate investment in AI and data centers. AI and data centers are considered national security priorities, which means they get to the front of the line for regulatory approval and VC investment.

@DaveShapi how do you see geopolitics and wars affecting the advancement of datacenters and other supply chain points in the AI development curve? seems like it could slow us down if not mitigated somehow
