Personally heavily upgrading my physical security thanks to all these morons

[roon @tszzl]

just so everyone is clear: this is evil. you are justified in thinking it’s morally bad. tons of apologetics happening for bad people. if you think behavior like this is just desserts for the tech industry due to some hobbyhorse you have, you have gone insane

[Carlos Aurelius @CarlosAurelius]

@othermaciej @tszzl Yeah, that's a funny take. No one should give it any credit under that perspective

[Carlos Aurelius @CarlosAurelius]

@littmath @tszzl I think point 5 is incredibly manipulative? Why would OAI signing as fast as possible after Anthropic got hit by the admin be de-escalatory in anyway?

[Carlos Aurelius @CarlosAurelius]

@elletwocache @shakoistsLog sry my iq is above 70

[Carlos Aurelius @CarlosAurelius]

@morqon yeah I don't know what that is but it's way better to have weapons controlled by "good guy" AI than "bad guy" AI

[Carlos Aurelius @CarlosAurelius]

@tszzl What should people publicly retract when the implicit admission is that the original contract didn't uphold the red lines OAI claimed? Like everyone who claimed they were blowing smoke was basically right and this is what Sam is in effect saying, right?

@BearForce_Won The stratechery piece was shocking in its advocation for a extreme statist political system

@CartoonsHateHer threads was saying u are both

"Software should be like pizza... You don’t want mass-produced industrial scale software."

The best pizza is made the exact same way every time and is dreamed up by some obsessive who cares way more about makes great pizza than you ever will.

Stripe CEO Patrick Collison: "Software should be like pizza… cooked right then and there at the moment of use."

"You don’t want mass-produced industrial scale software. You want bespoke custom software made for you, that moment."

"Up until now, the economics of software have been conceived as fixed cost and then infinitely monetized."

"Once there are inference costs and custom creation involved, it really shifts. It’s kind of the non-Walrasian software regime."

@patrickc with @collision on @tbpn

@shakoistsLog @type1ayy I think you just moved your bar from "moral" outcomes to "worldly" outcomes

[Carlos Aurelius @CarlosAurelius]

@tszzl Might want to update who you trust on hearsay!

[Carlos Aurelius @CarlosAurelius]

Pretty sure Gemini Deep Research is blocking any query related to the US<>Iran war. Or at the very least, my specific queries.

[Carlos Aurelius @CarlosAurelius]

@aidan_mclau The deal is fine. You should be more concerned about the false representations of the deal given by your leadership.

[Carlos Aurelius @CarlosAurelius]

@aiamblichus nah the us is still the good guys

[Carlos Aurelius @CarlosAurelius]

Maybe one day one of the people pushing the "X is the new SF" angle will be right. Doesn't hurt to have a spray and pray approach since people usually like these claims that fail so regularly

[Jeff Morris Jr. @jmj]

The whole “Death of SaaS” thing and the “American Shenzhen” vibe have gone from niche Twitter debates to very real momentum over the last few months.

It’s pretty obvious LA is shaping up to be one of the most important startup hubs in the world.

A couple years ago, I wondered if it was a mistake not to live in SF full-time. I grew up in the Bay Area and I’m still up there all the time, so it felt like the center of gravity.

Now it feels flipped. Not spending real time in Los Angeles might actually be the bigger mistake.
