Some commen sense commentary on everything around me. Be it politics, entertainment or real life issues.

[Gary Marcus @GaryMarcus]

Musk hates Altman because Altman deceived him.
Altman hates Musk because Musk is an egomaniac.

LeCun (who is an equally big egomaniac) hates Musk because Musk is a jerk.
Musk hates LeCun because LeCun is a jerk. (He’s not wrong.)

None of these people are heroes.

All routinely take credit for other people’s work; none are honest.

And not one of them lives up to their own standards.

There a few decent people in AI left – like Hassabis – but not as many as we need.

Needs confirmation. If true, indictments.

this level of fumble should be studied

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

Big Tech companies are sprinting forward, building data centers as fast as they can, sometimes using eminent domain to seize the land by force, making their AI more and more powerful, expanding the technology at lightening speed with no guardrails of any kind at all. Yet none of these tech gurus or any of their apologists have even attempted to explain what exactly all of the millions of people who lose their jobs, and the increasing numbers who lose their homes, all sacrificed on the AI altar, are supposed to do. How does society support millions of unemployed and displaced people? What becomes of a society where algorithms and machines do everything, and a few people become trillionaires while millions more lose everything? There is no answer to any of this. They aren’t even attempting to answer it. Instead we’re simply told that China exists and we have to “beat them” in some unspecified way, in order to achieve some unspecified goal. We’re going to obliterate entire industries, entire categories of jobs all at once, and the only justification anyone can give is “China.” It’s madness.

drinkers know when the liquor store closes. alcoholics know when it opens.

Stopped smoking weed at 23 because it made me anxious. Stopped drinking at 30 because of the hangovers. Nothing left to do but be extremely racist

"Amazon employees are doing random unnecessary task automations to consume tokens and to show their bosses that they're using AI more," per FT

You only live once, so make sure to spend as much time as possible on your computer. You won’t have access to it when you die

There has been no greater blessing in my life and no greater purpose driver than being a father

Elon tried sleeping less to get more done. It backfired badly.

"I've tried less but my productivity, even though I'm awake more hours, I get less done. And the brain pain level is bad if I get less than six hours."

The guy running Tesla, SpaceX, X, xAI, and DOGE works 362 days a year and still hits his biological floor every night.

He figured out his threshold and stopped fighting it. That's what you call optimization.

@mehdirhasan @cenkuygur Oh Mehdi the pious. Only if he held same standards for Obama bombing the hell out of middle east with drones.

Ive watched this like 10 times now.

THE MIAMI MAFIA LIVES: This city government can't stop doing unconstitutional sh*t — so l call out the commission for trying to cancel an election, the city attorney for misappropriating millions in tax dollars to hire loser lawyers and Commissioner Damian Pardo for trying to censor and silence the public for criticizing his misconduct. And they are NOT happy about my plan to disincentivize their f*ckery — by making THEM pay for it instead of us. #BecauseMiami

[Uzi @UziCryptoo]

6 years of living in Texas and I've come to the conclusion that the no state income tax thing is basically a scam. The property taxes are so high that they negate any savings. We are still paying as many taxes in Texas as we would in California. You save on gas I guess.

[PaulleyTicks @PaulleyTicks]

BREAKING: President Trump holds a press conference to dispute the "fake media's" claim that he compared himself to Jesus Christ in a social media post.

I heard a therapist say, “Your feelings are always valid, your behavior is not.” She explained by saying feel what you feel BUT you need to be accountable for what you do as a result of those feelings.
