@romanhelmetguy @SydSteyerhart Yeah but how’s this relevant to the supply chain thing? Seems like a massively destructive reaction that is completely unnecessary

@deedydas How many will they rehire to replace Claude?

@jon_stokes It’s because the employees are essentially projecting onto the model. They are sad to sunset it. The model is happy to play the part.

AI produced podcast where all the characters are AI. They talk to each other as if they were people, but the conversation is entirely synthetic. Matrix effect but on a low level – people will only accept a form which seems familiar to them. And it does seem to be a good form to digest info vs some long dense readout. Makes simulation theory seem more plausible. For example, where autonomous systems to completely replace the govt and all communications etc, maybe they would continue to produce entire synthetic press briefings etc. This might not only be the case for an entirely hostile takeover (where this would be more of a smokescreen while the frogs were boiled), but also for a benign one where everyone knew the White House Q&A scenes were fake – they could even have drama + oppositional and sycophantic reporters, and perhaps news junkies would still follow and discuss the antics of these socratic personalies. Simply speaking, if the machine gods were operating with alien logic, it would make sense to tell us a story in a form in which we can understand. The same happens to some extent with LLMs today simply flattering their users and creating this veneer of text while the backend processes remain entirely mysterious.

@itsolelehmann Trick question. With a billion you could buy many families.

Content on social media is a lot like previews to movies, much more condensed, exciting, but with the same arbitrary relationship to it's source material.

Why would a society even keep its population around if they brought not value? Who runs this society - and how do the people getting the UBI have any seat at the table?

Seems like a situation where a society subsidizing a large chunk of useless people will be out competed by another more ruthless society.

@LeylaKuni Why would someone ever rent out a house for less than their mortgage payment...?

The My Big TOE guy on Rogan had the most convincing explanation of this theory.

Essentially, he points out a ton of computer science metaphors that explain everything from Planks constant (pixel size), to quantum mechanics (probably based world engine creating outcomes in real time from player actions), to the Fermi paradox (limited number of player seats on the server, plus space isn’t really because it’s only rendered by the engine when we take closer looks at it).

I came away feeling like simulation here had more explanatory power than I’d given it credit for.

Counterpoint: Deploying capital may be the only job possible if the bots do all the work. Presumably the bots could deploy the capital for you, but you would still need the have the bank account.

In this (very cool and totally real) world, leverage would accrue only upwards and continue consolidating into a couple of winners.

@walterkirn eh just project them onto your optimus robots through your AR glasses and it's basically the same difference.

@cleanwithmike I really can't tell if these posts are just engagement baiting.

Yeah man let me wash windows for 10k/month it scales up perfectly BECAUSE I HAVE INFINITE TIME.

@maxxwba @cleanwithmike Window cleaners are the secret financial elite. Hustle harder bro.

@dwaldenwrites Being encouraged to write assignments with AI was legitimately the most useful part of my MBA. This is not even a hit on my classes, which were good.

[Chris Junno @ChrisJunno]

@SydSteyerhart This simulation appears accurate

[Chris Junno @ChrisJunno]

@diegocabezas01 Interesting. I find 4.5 by far the best one, but the problem is it’s so rate limited.

My use cases are mostly writing based and not math/code. 4.5 hands down does the best at synthesizing clean content.

@The8BitIdiot Price is a function of demand

@jam3scampbell I’d fall in the never camp, but I’m sure some people think they’re alive today.

If you believe that intelligence is consciousness is life and that all these things apply in a spectrum, then it makes some sense. But all of those things are -in fact- assertions.

[Chris Junno @ChrisJunno]

@ItsAngelDj Yeah I mean you have to actually be about something. Easy to say. Hard to do.
