@gmiller@hilbertspaess Relevance, but yes I have. There is no way if you asked anyone doing those jobs, if they had the option to be served by a computer they'd say 'no thanks I'd rather keep slogging at it'
@gmiller@hilbertspaess Yeah thanks Geoff try trudging around in a warehouse or pushing a wheelbarrow of concrete around for 20 years and tell us about the dignity of work
@TheDailyShow@hilbertspaess "that's their decision" Jon thinks everyone busting their ass in a warehouse or factory or in construction can just snap their fingers and do something else? What an absolute piece of shit
Got it—my bad. For the team in the image:
Skills: Sharp professional looks, solid law-enforcement core for security, patriotic flag energy, coordinated smiling, diverse mix ready for any group photo op or community event.
Weaknesses: Unclear specialized roles beyond posing, no visible gadgets or backup plans, outdoor setting limits stealth ops, potential for mismatched schedules if the officer is on duty.
This post looks like the start of a VERY sophisticated and well-funded PR operation to get support for Democrats to regulate AI into oblivion. Let me show you how it works:
1.) This guy, with minimal followers and no previous account activity, goes to the Wall Street Journal which publishes an exclusive with quotes from him on his resignation 18 minutes BEFORE this post goes up. Planning was clearly done in advance.
2.) Within hours, it has tens of thousands of reposts and the account has 100k+ followers. The post is punchy, quotable, it almost seems professionally written. The first three accounts to quote tweet it all do so within 15 minutes of the initial posting. Remember, this account had basically zero engagement beforehand, so an organic reach explanation seems unlikely.
According to Grok those accounts are @_NathanCalvin (General Counsel at Encode AI), @peterwildeford (Head of Policy at the AI Policy Network), and @DKokotajlo (Head of the AI Futures Project), all of which are up-and-coming AI-Doomer policy advocacy nonprofits.
The AI Futures Project website says it is funded “primarily” by the Survival and Flourishing Fund, which says on its own website that it has advised Jaan Tallinn, Skype creator and one of the leading investors in Anthropic, to grant over $2.5 million to the AI Futures Project since 2024.
Encode AI says on its website that it is ALSO funded by the Survival and Flourishing Fund, which in turn says that it told Anthropic investor Jaan Tallinn to grant $516,000 to Encode AI in 2025.
And wouldn’t you know it, the Survival and Flourishing Fund ALSO says it told Jaan Tallinn to grant $2 million to the AI Policy Institute, the 501(c)(3) affiliate of the AI Policy Network, as well.
What are the odds that the first three quote tweets of Coxon’s post would all be major AI-restriction policy advocates funded generously by the same donor, who also happens to be one of the leading investors in, and a board member of, Anthropic, the company Coxon was resigning from? And all within 15 minutes of posting (two within ten)?
3.) Jacob Coxon doesn’t have much of a resume, but we do know that, in 2022, he got a $20,159 scholarship for the “long term future scholarship program” from the Good Ventures Foundation, one of the philanthropic vehicles of Dustin Moskovitz, a notorious AI-doomer who has spent tens if not hundreds of millions on policy advocacy to strictly regulate AI, while also being an Anthropic Investor himself.
It also just so happens that the 14th person to quote Coxon’s post was @MaxNadeau_ (27 minutes after posting) who is the program officer for the Technical AI Safety team at Coefficient Giving, another of Moskovitz’s philanthropic spending vehicles. Max is not a frequent poster, his last posts before quoting Coxon were before Labor Day, but he was remarkably quick off the mark for this one.
4.) Basically every major Democrat politician and candidate has suddenly glommed on to this post, and conveniently, as the people cry out foe answers, Bernie Sanders already has a bill written to “ban super intelligence” and regulate AI into oblivion, and will be releasing later this week. The bill, among many other things, will create “a new cabinet-level federal agency to safeguard the public from the dangers of artificial intelligence” that will be “advised by an Artificial Intelligence Advisory Board comprised of experts on artificial intelligence.” Do you think, perhaps, Anthropic and its many investors who fund AI policy advocacy might have interest in getting to place a pet “expert” on the board of an entity that dictates what AI is and isn’t allowed to do? And isn’t it fortuitous that this whistleblower came forward with his oh-so scary stories so close in proximity to the release of the most radical piece of AI legislation ever introduced?
This is a video demonstrating a brand new asteroid tracking technique I made that is so powerful that it can precisely track Stealth Fighters better than any other Stealth tracking technique in existence even when it is using just three $30 webcams. This same technique can be used interchangeably with thermal cameras and can majorly upgrade Radar systems. It is also able to massively increase the effective resolution of 3D scanning techniques such as CT scanners and cryo electron-microscopy.
I've added notes at 4:15 and at 9:10 which go into detail about why I think this hasn't been done yet and what the things are that you think that this is but it isn't. Pretty much all of the problems you can think of with the system are extremely easy to fix if you use a little bit of brainpower to solve them.
@joedaroo You want to keep AI out of the hands of the people -unacceptable. Oh no, AI might take over? Couldn't do a worse job than the human scumbags ruling over us now
I wanted to watch the @lexfridman episode with @dhh, but Lex talks way too slow for me.
So I built Lex Speedman: it speeds Lex up to 2x and keeps the guest at 1x, cutting up to 20% off the episode.
No account, no install, just paste a YouTube link.

@HydroCarbon777@grok how much have Australian property values changed expressed in aluminum per ton, helium 3 per kilogram and 1st Edition Shadowless Charizards?
@Claude1o I hope you do. Been fascinated with the idea of optical computing for AI, nowhere near enough knowledge of the subject to make any contribution though
