@SebJohnsonUK They would have been anti uber when it arrived, now they’re pro uber and anti self driving. Just against progress

[Wignel @ThickheadFinds]

I didn't think Fable was that much better when it first came out. However, using it this morning I can say it's clearly in it's own league

[Wignel @ThickheadFinds]

Perhaps the anglo has reached his twilight

[Wignel @ThickheadFinds]

The game has reversed. Now the labs must squeeze out maximum real world intelligence while sandbagging benchmarks. Only way to not get banned

[Aleph @woke8yearold]

Sonnet 5 seems smarter than the benchmarks would suggest. I tried it out a bit and it made me revise my opinion. Need to play with it more

@MDC12345678 He presents such a niche, backward, cringe character that most of the nation, especially young professionals, will find abhorrent

[Wignel @ThickheadFinds]

@MartinShkreli @SebJohnsonUK imagine saying this about deep learning in 2020. People have been training neural nets since the 80s!!

[Wignel @ThickheadFinds]

@DrewVento This is the only reason I don’t have followers

[Wignel @ThickheadFinds]

@woke8yearold Anyone is free to set up a charity so that people who care can privately donate their money to stop “millions” of people dying. However no one complaining will do this, because it’s not about dying Africans, it’s about taking your money to use how they want

[Wignel @ThickheadFinds]

You have to be extraverted and fat. Drinking port is also helpful.

Impossible if you’re a twink for example

Is there ever a situation where it is neither tacky or a massive larp to wear a double-breasted suit?

[Wignel @ThickheadFinds]

I swear there’s something important about capitalism requiring “faith” in market mechanisms - “invisible hand” is clearly divine. This is why capitalism was born by Protestant Anglos and why materialist Chinese can’t do it. Jewish rationalists also struggle.

[Curtis Yarvin @curtis_yarvin]

Elon is a Hayekian, a cousin of Marxism, sharing its Anglo faith in Destiny—“scientific history,” “Whig history,” “Divine Providence,” etc.

Hayekian destiny is “spontaneous order.” Don’t do things! Things do themselves, given the right framework. Which is X, freedom of speech

[Wignel @ThickheadFinds]

The labs will now optimize for real world intelligence rather than benchmaxxing. Because the former drives usage and the latter gets you banned

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

Introducing a limited preview of GPT-5.6 Sol, our next generation frontier model, as well as GPT-5.6 Terra, a balanced model for efficient, everyday work, and GPT-5.6 Luna, a fast and affordable model for high-volume work.

It’s going to be just awful

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

Fact check.

[Wignel @ThickheadFinds]

Regulating temperature but disallowing control of temperature via air con is so profoundly decline pilled I can’t take it

[Politics UK @PolitlcsUK]

🚨 NEW: Sadiq Khan has called for maximum temperature limits for work and schools

@tomough Banger quote

[Wignel @ThickheadFinds]

These mathematicians are always like "I'm not smart, I just follow a problem solving algorithm". How do they fail to realise that following the algorithm requires high intelligence?

[Mathematica @mathemetica]

"I don't have any magical ability. I look at a problem, play with it, work out a strategy."

[Wignel @ThickheadFinds]

@Somatichealer0 What I mean is, the US really doesn’t think about the UK. Whereas the UK constantly thinks about the US and draws comparisons

[Wignel @ThickheadFinds]

Complete opposite is true

[James Marriott @j_amesmarriott]

I wrote this about the weird insecure American obsession with British decline

She should be kicked out for this. What's the point of an oath if you cross you provide a disclaimer and cross your fingers?

[Dr Helen Ingram @drhingram]

Your day could be worse. You could be married to this.
