The End of AI Frontiers https://t.co/rQOIpmthGr .

There's a bit of a train wreck here that's painful to express. Nevertheless, it's a significant event for me and quite a few other folks involved so I wanted to memorialize a bit.

@wholemars @elonmusk The latest version is performing worse specially in the crossings

Dennis Ritchie created C in the early 1970s without Google, Stack Overflow, GitHub, or any AI ( Claude, Cursor, Codex) assistant.

- No VC funding.
- No viral launch.
- No TED talk.
- Just two engineers at Bell Labs. A terminal. And a problem to solve.

He built a language that fit in kilobytes.

50 years later, it runs everything.

Linux kernel. Windows. macOS.

Every iPhone. Every Android.

NASA’s deep space probes.

The International Space Station.

> Python borrowed from it.
> Java borrowed from it.
> JavaScript borrowed from it.

If you have ever written a single line of code in any language, you did it in Dennis Ritchie’s shadow.

He died in 2011.
The same week as Steve Jobs.
Jobs got the front pages.
Ritchie got silence.

This Legend deserves to be celebrated.

@Tesla Tesla supervised FSD on my S has transformed my driving experience. 99% of all my trips are fsd. The other day someone cut us off from right and after a few minutes was trying to merge again from left in front of us. Almost all the time fsd is kind and creates space for merger but it was funny to see that this time it refused to let that car merge. I have seen incidences like this where it feels like it is emotionally smart too.

@CaesarsPalace The most horrific hotel on the strip now. They are running only two elevators in one tower and one broke down so while as is it would take 15 m during the day to take elevator, now there is an hour wait. Avoid! @hotelsdotcom @Vegas #worsehotels

Finally my model S turns into a marvel. Used FSD for 60 miles and through neighborhood roads, freeways and some most crowded parking lots on supervised fsd and it was surreal. It drives better than me ☺️. While I relish driving my S but the fsd makes it more compelling to just sit and let it drive itself. #tesla

Dream car turned into a bit of a nightmare. 😔 Post-sale services for my Tesla Model S have been a test of patience— from autopilot debris dodging fails to simple bumper and sensor repair delays. Two months carless and counting all because Tesla Insurance wont respond to the body shop . Is the innovation worth the service woes?

The nightmare of dealing with Tesla services (insurance and repairs) with new Model S.

Always a fan of Tesla, my first EV after range anxieties abated, I test drove Model S and fell in love with the simplicity and elegance of the design and the fun of driving vs. Mercedes EQS which just seemed ostentatious but no fun to drive. I ignored the warnings that Tesla post-sale services are always disappointing. I ignored it to my peril as I didn’t think it could be this bad. Just a few months later while driving in auto-pilot on Highway, the vehicle could not avoid a flying debris and incurred what seemed minor damages to front bumper. But it was not to be. The Tesla approved body shop said it will take a long wait for the parts to arrive so I should be mentally prepared. Eventually after a month long wait, the parts arrived and I dropped the car for repairs. A few weeks later, body shop tells me that the replacement sensors arrived damaged and they were waiting for replacement part again. Eventually a month later the work was done but Tesla insurance had closed the case without any response and neither the body shop nor I have been able to elicit a response from the insurance. The original underwriter seems to have disappeared. The body shop understandably can not release my car without the approval of amended payments. And here I am without a car that I so enjoyed driving for two months. I see Ford and Mercedes owners enjoying a million times better service. So the question is if you want to be stuck with these nightmarish experiences as a vehicle owner, do you still go for a greatly engineered car ?

I could barely watch the keynote. It was just another bland corp-speak bunch of product updates.

For those researchers I know that were involved from the beginning, this must have felt nausea-inducing.

The plan was AGI, lifting society to a new level. We got Laundry Buddy.

My mom cried during the SpaceX launch. She's a math teacher.

"So many people in the education world want to get rid of advanced math for equity. I'm sick of it. Without math, this [launch] can't happen.

Kids need to be allowed to dream."

Spot on, mom 🇺🇸

Prediction: We are soon going to prove that LLMs will reach a ceiling when they match human level intelligence and search engine level retrieval.

There will be no where else to go, after that....

THAT'S IT!

That's all AI can ever be capable of and there is no chance of AI becoming "super intelligent"or whatever other doomsday scenario some folks are imagining...

No chance it will destroy humanity.

AI is going to do the heavy lifting for us... and we humans will supervise. This is the most logical conclusion given our understanding of LLMs.

The burden of proof should be on the AI doomers.

There is no proof that some "super intelligence" exists or can exist in the known universe.

What’s wrong @AirCanada serving pathetic food on a 15.5 hrs business class flight named signature service. Absolutely at the bottom along with United. Great putting NA service to shame. Get some inspiration from @TurkishAirlines who have redefined candle light dinner
