@tenobrus A lot of the ML researchers I know seem to have been born with the rust on their hand but Anthropic can afford to be picky tbf

@devahaz Beyond any moral reasoning, it also just feels like a second grader finding a new bad word. Great look for a 55 year old. Considering how much “taste is the new moat”, it’s pretty ironic

@OrevaZSN Of course we need to export almonds and ship Alfalfa to Saudi Arabia

@aknox92 @BecomingCritter So she’s a startup founder

@CodeByPoonam classic 3 words...

i hate bots

@dlwiest Because they’re lying. 500m a month would be 2/3 of Anthropic’s 2025 revenue

The most disturbing part about this video is if she did have a right hand, the ticket would stand, her insurance rates would go up, if she had a cdl, her company might fire her.

We give entirely too much weight to the testimony of cops who refuse to believe they were ever wrong

Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed about AI. He fears the permanent underclass.

Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Read Gary Marcus. LLMs are stochastic parrots—they can't reason out of distribution."

Man bursts into tears. "But doctor..." he says, "I am in distribution!"

@theo @seatedro 100%, when I started my current research direction I tried to use work trees for my ablations and gave up to use an obviously stupid but nothing better flat mostly duped file system

[Theo - t3.gg @theo]

3. Worktrees are an abomination

We need source control that makes more assumptions about our file systems. Why do we have to implement copy on write ourselves? Why can't I "check out" the same branch in 2 places at the same time? Why do I have to put so much energy in keeping my worktrees updated to main?

We've been taken for fools. The current worktree implementation in git should be ignored entirely. Our agents deserve better.

@lenibriscoe No blue check, just love of the game

[🏳️‍⚧️ hannah/tara 🦦 @hannahwithfur]

the google suite redesign isnt that bad overall but this specifically is an abomination

[mordecai @_m16b]

@CoreyWriting I don’t think you understand what a PhD is

[thibauld @thibauld]

During his second term, Trump will have cut 2 of the US most powerful innovation and wealth creation engines:
1. skilled legal immigration
2. (non-defense) research budgets

We won't see the effect of this immediately, but in 10 years it will be obvious... and it will take at least another decade to rebuild 😢

A sad day for the US.

china could drop a nuke in silicon valley and still wouldn’t do this much damage

@soft_fox_lad Ironically enough I think Vivek would really benefit from this. There’s times where he’s not wrong but is just speaking hieroglyphics to the conservative demographic he tries to attract

@slmimorgan @YIMBYPoland @Noyb2021 @litrllyBased > 53 million
lmaooooo

[EigenGender 🔸 is going to vibecamp @EigenGender]

one of the effects of general accusations of wrongdoing against all corporations is that it hides the truly horrific stuff

[Julia Turc @juliarturc]

This is why we need to gate-keep science. Two pseudo-intellectuals thinking they discovered something deep, conflating

>social attention
>transformers attention
>quantum physics observer (attention)

These have nothing in common, other than the ambiguity of English language. Naked ladies on Instagram have nothing to do with a weighted average followed by softmax.

But they're both so mind-blown by their discovery. Dunning–Kruger will only get amplified by AI sycophancy.

Please call me out if you see me going beyond my own DK threshold.
