The New York Times is reporting a second Jensen affair.

[Evan @EvanMilenko]

@g5p8v8r7s7 Probably a factor too, although I think this makes the models worse. Would make sense if they are trying to signal extra hard how safe and compliant their models are (no offensive outputs) because of coming dem scrutiny.

[Evan @EvanMilenko]

You can already see this with Fable 5.2. It's the best model right now, but also the most nerfed. I suspect the safety/copyright guardrails were put into overdrive partially because of the midterms. The AI wild west was fun while it lasted.

We’ll know AGI has been reached when Anthropic employees stop paying matchmakers and start asking Claude to orchestrate an elaborate meet cute with the girl they glanced at in the coffee shop last week.

[Pirate Wires @PirateWires]

We got inside Silicon Valley’s dating market, where Anthropic and OpenAI employees, soon to be basking in the glory of upcoming IPOs, are spending upwards of $500k on elite matchmakers to find love in a city teeming with hot girls that might be foreign assets.

A friendly reminder, gentlemen, as @nicolewizman1 writes: if she’s a 10, and you haven’t paid half a mill to find her, she’s probably a sex-spy.

@Aella_Girl I'm sorry, but if what I just described looks to you like stripping my children of agency, you have absolutely no idea what the current media climate looks like for children these days

Being a parent of a teenager in the modern digital environment means begging your kid to play Minecraft or do *something* even slightly less brain-rotting than watching short video content from Spotify, which is what they're started doing because you've blocked all YouTube content from the XBox devices at the router level and turned off the WiFi and limited the carrier data throughput after 9PM for their smart phones, which they legitimately need because that is how their coaches communicate with them about cheer routines or band practice

And if you dare to complain about how annoying it is to have this second job as an IT admin just to keep your kids from guzzling down the worlds shittiest content, half the internet calls you a bad parent for not locking them down more and the other half calls you a bad parent for being a content Nazi

The average person thinks that we’re running out of resources, that our institutions are systemically racist, that little girls are taught not to expect the same opportunities as a little boys, that schools are underfunded, that poverty causes crime, that billionaires are hoarding wealth, and so on.

They don’t think it’s, like, a metaphor or whatever.

@eventidia One thing everyone can agree on

Nota bene: Central to Amodei's vision for how AI will "cure" mental illness is genetic screening, meaning he expects human reproduction via sex to be largely replaced by mass embryo production and mass screening in labs on this same timeline:

You can learn a lot about Darializa from this post.

She is proud to be a cofounder of Columbia University Apartheid Divest. She organized the encampments in that capacity.

CUAD has infamously described itself as "Westerners fighting for the eradication of Western Civilization." But that is just the tip of the iceberg. What else does Darializa's group stand for?

Take a journey with me into The Barricade, CUAD's publication. Let's see what Darializa's organization is all about.

Fable 5.2 is insane

I used it to create this dragon game from scratch in Three.js

@davidein @jamesfishback Please do not donate to those organizations

Insane exchange. Newly elected Democrat Adam Hamawy refuses to call Iran an adversary.

BROWN: Do you see Iran as the adversary?

HAMAWY: "We pushed them into a fight"

BROWN: But are they the adversary?

HAMAWY: "We should be making friends"

BROWN: They've been saying "death to America" for decades

HAMAWY: "We've been saying 'death to Iran'"

BROWN: They've killed a lot of Americans

HAMAWY: "And we've killed a lot of them"

BROWN: So you don't see Iran as an adversary?

HAMAWY: "I see that we are pushing Iran into a fight"

[Curtis Houck @CurtisHouck]

New Jersey Democratic Congressman-elect Hamawy...

- REFUSES to say Iran is an "adversary" or enemy of the United States
- DEFENDS Iran as having been "pushed...into a fight" by Israel, which forced the U.S. to wage war
- Argues America isn't any better than Iran because "we've killed a lot of [Iranians] as well"

Claude, please have an agent swarm gang stalk @YahliHazan

@IterIntellectus https://t.co/R3oPHWHkVZ I wrote about this yesterday. It's going to be awesome.

[Pirate Wires @PirateWires]

Gaming has become a corporatized industry that often takes years to churn out mediocre, woke, and worst of all, un-fun video games. But using AI, indie developers are now turning classic games into delightfully absurd new creations.

You can now 360 no-scope a Creeper while doing a kickflip. (Or in simpler terms, one developer combined Minecraft, Call of Duty, and Skate 3 into one.)

Another AI modder, @p_e_cooper, took Call of Duty: World at War’s Zombies mode and added Wii Bowling, rock-paper-scissors, and a DJ booth.

Is this a new golden age of gaming, or will corporate giants ruin all the fun again?
