@coinbureau Can somebody turn this into a rap meme song?

@ziwenxu_ Keep it up, the race for GTA 6 premier is on!

@steipete You are loosing the data for feed feed-back corrections. This will drift into Instagram or are you injecting feed-back somehow?

[SimonLab @ChickenT1000]

@AnatoliKopadze @FactoryAI Betting big on Factory AI for this one.

@coinbureau Perfect, ESG rating is a signal if inverted

@coinbureau wait.. my robinhood account uses better security since it is a private business? Right?!

@emollick I try to embrace the code rather than fight it. The power point data lives in code as a source of truth, then the powerpoint generation is just a simple data display change since the underlying data is linked properly to the origin via code base

@AuroraSkye21259 @DaveShapi just gov reacting late as usual? in the EU i would be surprised if anyone would even start running mythos testing by now...

@DaveShapi The narrative is flipping out :)

[Eric Weinstein @ericweinstein]

Fair point. I worry about this too.

First: our model of “The Elite” is just wrong. There are totally different circles that barely touch each other. So no one I know knows what “The Elite” are doing.

Seattle has Tech Billionaires that Barely know of the NYC financial Billionaires, let alone know them personally. Even Seattle Tech Billionaires don’t know Silicon Valley Billionaires all that well. They are mostly minding their own shops.

The Scientific Elite in Cambridge Massachusetts don’t know the Science Policy Elite representing them in Washington DC/N. Virginia AT ALL and are always shocked when I tell them what is being done in their name.

The Scientific Elite in Biology don’t know the Scientific Elite in Physics.

The retail elite don’t hang out with the pharma elite or big food elite except by accident or some bottleneck like fundraising, vacationing, schools, collecting, etc.

So there is no “The Elite”.

—————-

Next once you understand that there is no “The Elite”, the next thing you learn is that Elite Circles worry about each other a lot. I know a lot of wealthy/powerful people terrified of Bill Gates. “What is he doing with global health and vaccines?? Why is he buying farmland?? What is he plotting??” So that’s definitely a thing. The Elite circles fear each other because they compete mostly with each other. Not you or me.

—————

Next: Are the elite circles preparing for doomsday?

Some are. Some aren’t. Most that I know, aren’t prepping.

Most who are have very silly plans. 6 months of canned goods, a few deisel generators and 2 Ex-special forces guys in a luxury bunker on 7500 acres in Wyoming that you brag about, are not going to get you far in a post apocalyptic world. Call it a hunch.

A small number have rather more serious plans. But it cuts into their usable wealth and time. So it’s not a slam dunk that it is a good idea to try to outlive a major pandemic or nuclear war.

——

Last: the Elite don’t always know they are the Elite. I have been at tables with several Billionaires where they complain about the Rich and Powerful.

No one feels all that powerful at the moment. Everyone I know is subject to being sued, blindsided, betrayed, ignored, sidelined, outplayed, divorced, humiliated, smeared in the press or made the target of an online lynch mob.

——-

So, to sum it up. There is no widespread doomsday event known generally to “The Elite” but not the public of which I am aware. Believe me. You’d know. Many of them would have told you…and they are worried just as you are.

I didn’t know all that many powerful people for most of my life.

What I have learned in the last 20 years of having met a few:

Wealth and Success changes a lot, but much much much less than you’d think. No one feels all that powerful. We are still all just slobs with family issues trying to get from A to B and have a few laughs with our loved ones before it’s all over.

Sorry. Maybe there is a level above this, but I sure haven’t seen it.

@DaveShapi hope is all i got, elon needs to start shipping code models soon

[SimonLab @ChickenT1000]

@sattyyouneed ability to turn a profit

[SimonLab @ChickenT1000]

@xlr8harder @growing_daniel that and we are training them to statistically predict the next token probability. Good for code generation, bed for building a creative story arc

@coinbureau i feel that we are not getting fable back any time soon, nor 5.6. for sure NSA be like "ok, no biggie, just be careful not to jailbreak anything pretty please". ai is a weapon now. things will change.

[SimonLab @ChickenT1000]

@mark_k @OpenAI what do i know.. but while fable-NSA drama is on, the wait-and-see strategy has a point

[SimonLab @ChickenT1000]
