Minulla on sellainen käsitys, että suomalaisten suuri enemmistö on lopen kyllästynyt siihen nälvimiseen, irvailuun ja toisten syyttelemiseen, joka on viime vuosina myrkyttänyt poliittista keskustelua. Voisi kuvitella, että tulevissa eduskuntavaaleissa menestyvät ne puolueet, jotka lupaavat irrottautua tällaisesta puhetyylistä.

It’s a drone. Chasing another drone. Into actual clouds. And it works.
The Ukrainians have built a flying angry wasp that hunts Iranian Shaheds for roughly the price of a second-hand lawnmower.

Ukraine would share this. They’d teach it. They’d probably fly the damn things themselves to protect American soldiers in the Middle East. But Trump won’t ask. Because the man who could save American lives happens to be Volodymyr Zelensky. And that, apparently, is a dealbreaker.
So the Shaheds fly. Unmolested. Toward Americans.

Own goal. Absolutely spectacular own goal.

Never been a better time to study the humanities:
1) LLMs are trained on the cultural history of all humans, knowing that helps you use them
2) The humanities gives us context in this odd moment in history
3) Books & stuff are good

#Esteettömyyshuomio.

Kun sinulle tarjotaan mikrofonia yleisötilaisuudessa

OTA SE MIKROFONI

"en tartte, mulla on kantava ääni"

Sinun äänesi EI ole kantava. Mikrofoni on esteettömyyttä.

Jon’s pal John Oliver had an episode called “A Statistically Representative Climate Change Debate” where he made fun of shows bringing same # of people to argue for/against climate change for balance when so many more were for.

Glad to see his boss doing that exact thing w economics, bringing on well known opportunists for “balance”.

Ihan oikeasti. Venäjä pommittaa Ukrainan energiainfraa, ja selviävät pakkasessa ilman sähköä ja lämpöä.

Suomessa ollaan pois tolaltaan kun pörssisähkön itse valinneiden sähkönhinta on muutamana päivänä korkea, muulloin Euroopan halvinta.

Nyt jotain rotia ja suhteellisuutta!

It's a weird time. I am filled with wonder and also a profound sadness.

I spent a lot of time over the weekend writing code with Claude. And it was very clear that we will never ever write code by hand again. It doesn't make any sense to do so.

Something I was very good at is now free and abundant. I am happy...but disoriented.

At the same time, something I spent my early career building (social networks) was being created by lobster-agents. It's all a bit silly...but if you zoom out, it's kind of indistinguishable from humans on the larger internet.

So both the form and function of my early career are now produced by AI.

I am happy but also sad and confused.

If anything, this whole period is showing me what it is like to be human again.

@heikkivalkama Ihan varmasti yrittää sitä. Pelkää kohtaloaan välivaalien ja seuraavien presidentinvaalien jälkeen.

Uncomfortable truth. 🇷🇺 Russian information warfare amplified:

• Anti-GMO fear.
• Nuclear anxiety.
• Pesticide panic.
• Vaccine hysteria.

Bots. Troll farms. State media.
Not to persuade, but to corrode trust.

And Europe will be paying the price for decades.

Clawdbot creator @steipete describes his mind-blown moment: it responded to a voice memo, even though he hadn't set it up for audio or voice.

"I sent it a voice message. But there was no support for voice messages. After 10 seconds, [Moltbot] replied as if nothing happened."

"I'm like 'How the F did you do that?'"

"It replied, 'You sent me a message, but there was only a link to a file with no file ending. So I looked at the file header, I found out it was Opus, and I used FFmpeg on your Mac to convert it to a .wav. Then I wanted to use Whisper, but you didn't have it installed. I looked around and found the OpenAI key in your environment, so I sent it via curl to OpenAI, got the translation back, and then I responded.'"

Trump ei ole uhannut hetkeen tekevänsä Kanadasta USA:n osavaltiota. Voisikohan osasyynä olla Carneyn pragmaattinen, mutta poskea kääntämätön strategia?

If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it.

Software is becoming free, good decision making in research, design, and product has never been so valuable. I hope people realize this and work less, spend more time cultivating peace, so the brain can do its best -- let the agents do most of the hard work.

How to lose the 21st century to China:

1. Unilaterally disarm regarding the soft power competition by ending economic aid and international media agencies.

2. Impose tariffs irrationally on everyone.

3. Invade Greenland, break up NATO, and isolate the US from the entire world.

4. Defund universities.

5. Discourage the best and brightest from immigrating to the US.

6. Withdraw from international organizations, handing over their control to the Chinese Communist Party.

7. Foment polarization between Americans.

8. Stop supporting democracy abroad; just talk about power.

9. Weaken American democratic institutions at home.

JD Vance: "Denmark hasn't done a good job at keeping Greenland safe."

Just out of curiosity when was the last time that a Greenlander was shot dead by a masked agent of their own government?
