Verder IT consultant, maar neem me dat aub niet kwalijk.

@redaction @DeepDishEnjoyer It is constantly adapted but not by humans and not by LLM models.

Way back in the old days of 2020 we were also automating stuff we just weren't calling it AI.

@kaleumeleu37968 "80% of people who try to bug out of a city during a disaster or wartime situation die on the road before they even reach their destination."

You're pulling this out of your ass.

@jakehalloran1 Palantir is a data analysis company for governments and big corps, it's a very dem coded company.

It only recently, suddenly, got a reputation for being evil that I don't really understand.

[Ian Berriman @ianberriman]

Once again thinking about how no one batted an eyelid at these Iggy Pop remarks in the ‘90s. You could safely put it in a book!

[Tim @Timmetie]

@USA_Polling Everyone suddenly decided Palantir was evil but every time I ask about it it goes no further than that they're a defense supplier. "They make spying software!" no they don't? They're data analytics for government. In that sense they're about as evil as salesforce?

[Tim @Timmetie]

@USA_Polling He publicly supported Harris in 2024! As far as I know he's not been accused of any crimes, what does he need to be investigated for.

Seriously I'm left wing but the full on hatred for Palantir and Karp has always kinda baffled me.

@g_shullenberger If Holmes had zero charm.

Although the most effective cult leaders are often people where you think "Huh? Them?" because, just like scammers who deliberately use bad grammar, you have to filter out the people with a working brain for your scam.

@BeyondGrey_ @wholebodyprayer "Strong defense" come on Germany could have taken them in a week.

[Tim @Timmetie]

@wholebodyprayer @KlezmerRouge Pretty woke hosts, other Swiss act like Germany somehow couldn't invade them because they were so tough.

[Tim @Timmetie]

@ArielKwiat With AI? Nah I don't believe that. LLMs will be part of the solution sure, but throwing trillions at them is a total waste that could have been used better.

[Tim @Timmetie]

@ApriiSR Any sign of persistence by AI.

@FabTheWoker @nevestars If this gets routed through their EU hubs you wouldn't even pay the tax.

@lilbabygandhi The US is friends with loads of theocracies.

@Pawdaii @peachtheseal It's mostly keychains though. I've seen noone whining about this who didn't have anime in their bio.

@majaskitty I like how they added robotics to the list of their toys so it sounds more professional.

@jonkodoteth This dumb law is great there were 10s of million of packages arriving per day.

[Tim @Timmetie]

@narrenhut He supported Harris in 2024.

[Tim @Timmetie]

@FabTheWoker @nevestars What books are you ordering on Amazon (which has huge EU hubs by the way) that aren't available in Europe.

[Tim @Timmetie]

@ben_j_todd @MissCherryPi @rutgerbregman Oke, then reverse it, can you show me a single prediction made by the AI safety community that has come true?
