“AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations” - @doctorow, speaking truth and taking no prisoners.
35 million people laughed in my face.
But we still don’t have a solution to hallucinations, boneheaded errors, and unreliable reasoning.
Years later, the wall of reliability still looms in front of LLMs, unconquered.
August 21st I booked @Hittaj3tml for his first Portland, Oregon headliner show just for him to not show up for his set and not sell enough tickets due to lack of promotion. He neglected to call or text day of show and is refusing to refund his upfront payment of $1,000… #scam
Can’t get over someone who just had a feature on one of the biggest albums of 2024 not only neglecting to show up for his own show but scamming people for a 1k advance.and then saying 1k is chump change but for some reason can’t refund after not providing services 🤔 #hittaJ3scam
Top 5 @RickRubin quotes from the recent episode w/
@hubermanlab:
1. “One of the reasons so many great artists die of overdoses early in their lives is because they’re using drugs to numb a very painful existence. The reason it’s painful is the reason they became artists in the first place: their incredible sensitivity.”
2. “Any thought you have about outcome undermines the whole thing.”
• Worrying about an outcome is not the mindset to make something great
3. The DIY punk-rock ethic: Just make it. “It might not be the dream version, but whatever version you can execute is the one for you to make.”
4. “The changes that come in meditation are to help your reactions in the real world.”
• Every time you meditate is like making a deposit in a bank (Maharishi)
5. “The instinct and the unconscious are where the great ideas are. The things that come from our intellectual selves have much less charge.”
Post Malone sells 110k first week with his new album “AUSTIN” 🔥💿
For him to sell that much with no features and on utopia week is VERY impressive, he’s still HUGE.
Titanic survivor Frank Prentice describes how he jumped off the stern to survive. Frank Winnold Prentice (February 17, 1889 - May 30, 1982) was a storekeeper on the RMS Titanic. He survived the sinking by swimming to Lifeboat 4 and being pulled in by its occupants.
Prentice remained active at sea, working on the Titanic's sister ship RMS Olympic, and also worked on ships during World War 1.
In his later life, Prentice gave many interviews for television (here in 1979), newspapers, and magazines. In 1982, he appeared in a documentary called "Titanic: A Question of Murder."
He was the second-to-last member of the crew to pass away, being survived only by Sidney Edward Daniels.
