Perhaps we should page Dr Goblin.

The irritating part of all of this is that after 20+ years we finally have a (very) few companies that sell machines with Linux pre-installed. The only thing I ever learned from installing OSes is that I hate installing OSes.

I would love to boycott all software that accepts garbage [1] contributions, but I do not think that is practical. I think I might have to settle with just refusing to use it myself, and wait until everyone realizes that gen AI is just a bad idea.

Note 1: Satya Nadella said he did not want people referring to AI as “slop”, so I will grant his request and refer to it as “garbage”.

I think it’s hilarious that his twitter handle has “real” at the front. Who would want to pretend to be that guy?

The Facebook CTO is one of those fake lt Colonels the DoD commissioned a while back.

This guy was CTO while Facebook/Meta was burning all that money on the Metaverse. Now they are, as Mr Gerard put it, pivoting to AI, and burning millions there. Those Meta stock options must be really good to work for someone as dumb as this guy.

Plus: He went to Harvard. I guess those schools will take anybody.

In hindsight, it is pretty funny that he called his fund “Situational Awareness” and still lost money.

Maybe someone should start a hedge fund and call it something like, “Maybe This Will All Work Out LLC.” That way there is no disappointment.

Years ago I saw a memorable tweet: Zero Hedge readers upset passing asteroid did not destroy earth.

yet another autodidact with a cushy job in the Effective Altruism grantland

How do I get one of these cushy jobs?

Here is the first sentence: "You can see the future first in San Francisco. "

I feel like I already know everything I need to know about him.

The AI shills would say: Are you still using the models from six months ago? Because the new models are sooo much more powerful.

So far, all of these “model breaches containment” stories have been fake.

But if one actually did, than that would be a signal to drop AI and nuke data centers from orbit.

This is not the genius-level marketing OpenAI thinks it is.

One thing I have noticed is a lot of AI-bros will brag that they automated workflows, or refactored code with AI. If they were really smart and/or had good processes, they would have done those things without AI a long time ago.

On the other hand, if AI and griftocurrency sink each other, I am fine with that.

PL talks about the way Trump fights wars as if it comes out of some military doctrine. It doesn’t. Trump is stupid, doesn’t plan ahead, and is easily distracted. That’s it. It’s not N-dimensional chess. He’s just an idiot.

I think that after it is all said and done and after all the money Bryan Johnson spends to live forever, I think the end result will be: exercise, good diet, no alcohol, no tobacco, no drugs. He will still be pushing his product, but the basic advice will be what we already know.

For a second I thought you wrote Gas Town had been discarded, and I briefly felt happiness for the first time in a long time.
