Seriously cool tech. Set up your own baby data center and make some money 🤑
(basically an AI version of crypto mining)

Wake the world's sleeping compute.

Look at the Mac nearest to you. What's it doing?

Probably nothing.

There are 100M+ Macs with Apple Silicon out there. Apple quietly made them *really* good at inference. A $3k Mac runs a 60B model at 30 watts.

Most sit idle most of the day.

Meanwhile every AI API call passes through three layers of margin before reaching the hardware. We call this the Inference Tax.

We got curious: what happens if you connect idle Macs directly to inference demand?

This is Darkbloom. Private inference network for idle Macs.

“AI is dead!”
The cry of skeptics and clickbaiters, wildly misinterpreting a paper from an organization still catching up to 2023.

[Andrew Coomes @AndrewCoomes]

You’re telling me the same assholes who claim to be all about states’ rights want to make it so AI legislation can only be done at the federal level???

Actually that sounds about right. After all, this is the leopards eating people’s faces party we’re talking about.

Between synthetic training data, RLAF, and agentic models, hold on to your butts because this AI shindig is just getting started. Thought ChatGPT was already turning the world upside down?
Y’all ain’t seen nothin yet.

[Andrew Coomes @AndrewCoomes]

So according to our absolute top authorities, we are officially supposed to be either
A) unaware of, and/or
B) not concerned about
social injustice and discrimination.

Please, go ahead and defend that. I beg you.

[Andrew Coomes @AndrewCoomes]

This is a literal named enemy of our Federal Government.
Cool. Cool cool cool cool cool cool cool.

Is it just me, or are there finally some tempting designs in the Diablo IV shop?

In fairness the Warcraft designs were cool, but I think this is the first time I've actually loved the Diablo options. Still way too expensive, but getting exciting.

I’m sorry, this is the funniest single photo of the entire election cycle.

@elonmusk @GuntherEagleman @heydave7 Bully for you. My friend lost his unvaccinated father to C19.

Boosters seem to lay many of us low for a couple of days. Still better than the two weeks I was out with Covid.

It's called anecdotal fallacy. Or in other words, "results may vary".

@RiotSupport can you help me recover my account from my old email address I no longer have access to?
I submitted a ticket a few days ago but it fell through a portal so I made another one... ticket # 81373991

@maro254 thought you might get a kick out of this (not sure why I didn't think to tweet this to you when I wrote it)

@elonmusk That’s it for me. Long time fan, given you the benefit of the doubt for your ridiculous antics, and defended you to friends and family. No longer. I can’t respect someone who openly mocks gender identity and the reality of a pandemic simultaneously. I hope you find empathy

@gaileyfrey #NaNoPepTalk What a pep talk! Pointing out how difficult "not writing" is really struck a chord with me. Finished day 1 of NaNo '22 at 1755 words. Looking forward to writing more tomorrow

@MTGSecretLair Pepperoni. Many to one. They go naturally together. Commonly associated. Not to mention pepperoni is also repurposed flesh…
