@paulg education and research are important but college as an institution is falling behind - I'm not sure it's the most effective option for either anymore

too many PMs spend their careers changing what was never broken into something that isn't any better and I cant stand it

[Hugh Grant @HackedOffHugh]

I think that if you’re going to write a piece in the Times urging the government to use and boost more AI, the fact that you are paid by a major AI company should be in the first sentence, or at least first paragraph.
I also think that the best scenario for AI is that it destroys millions of jobs with the prosperity, dignity and community that goes with them.
The worst scenario is the destruction of the human race - a fear openly expressed by an increasing number of senior and experienced AI engineers who are leaving the industry.
And somewhere in between a myriad of horrors such as yet more screen learning and screen addiction for our children.
But I do see that it will make rich men even richer. And that’s the most important thing of course.

@adxtyahq how does this compare to SpaceX?

@aarondev build in camelCase shoot me

@MarsUniversityX am I crazy why do we even have patents is there any evidence they are a net positive?

@elonmusk @robustus more likely that new abstractions/languages are created to represent the functional programs that are AI but not human readable - binaries are a necessity given the hardware but can be compressed into something more efficient with no downside

@apralky Maybe they shouldn't have that lever

the biggest revelation by far from the Epstein files is that you're all schizophrenic

we could start by moving to relative price models and stop letting bad policy hide behind our monetary system

[@levelsio @levelsio]

No it's not just you

I think we're 100% in some kind of hyperinflationary state

But the hyperinflation is hidden from prices and instead shows up in the extreme decrease in quality of almost every product and service

We're in an asset boom where stock prices look like they're growing but they just show the underlying value or currencies is rapidly dropping

That's why the same product or service you bought 2 years ago is now twice the price but more than half the quality, so essentially became 4x more expensive

You can't measure this inflation easily because quality is subjectively perceived and not included in inflation data (how would you?) but it's happening for sure

I have countless examples

decided to give gpt5.2 a try for coding - a couple of git resets later its over what a mess

[Z @_z37k]

@BillAckman surely instead of taxing the loan you find a fix for taxation on a step up basis?

in other words remove the original distortion and legal complexity rather than add to it

gemini are you ok

@Zoe_ZouYi you'd be surprised how many people just build what they know how to build that no one actually wants

@stellachenyl @abhiiiiiiieeee is this a corporate propaganda AI account 😂

worst part of doing arc - you get binary scores regardless of how close your solution was to a success and even the best get more negatives than positives

it really helped to create our own evals for how our approach performed - at some point those evals even became part of the solution

[Z @_z37k]

@bswud but I do think it's important that we accurately understand where and when things went wrong if we are to turn things around

I would look further back than the crash and dip to the bubble and inflated increase in the trend

[Z @_z37k]

if only - I'm not sure exactly how that trend line is modelled but if it's based on the range shown it would not only include the 'accounting error' of the bubble and crisis but also a much steeper trend than including earlier decades

the good news is that is it doesn't matter - you grow an economy the same way regardless and there's no reason we can't exceed that trend
