Apple is a very successful company because their philosophy is "no, the customer is not always right, in fact the customer is a drooling retard and the more things we take away from them that make their brain hurt, the happier they will be"

But then a generation of kids will be raised on products designed with this philosophy and graduate college not knowing how to find their own saved files

It's not even an exaggeration when I say that this remains the absolute greatest shot I've ever seen.

All-time. This is number 1.

GPT-6 Astra has the best result yet on the Bach Benchmark. Its chorale contains no voice-leading errors, and its harmonic palette is sophisticated enough to include a Neapolitan sixth chord. More importantly, it is the first model to ever write passing tones on this benchmark, a significant leap in musical understanding.

Extra High effort. Prompt below:
“In LilyPond (version 2.24), write a 4-part chorale in the style of Bach, 3/4 time, G minor. Use two staves -- soprano and alto on the top staff, tenor and bass on the bottom staff. Respond with only the code block.”

Oba Kosoko once sold his son into slavery; in fact, he didn't want the slave trade to end, he fought the British consul, John Beecroft for the continuity of the slave trade.

Duke, the great grand father of Donald Duke sold slaves, Adekunle Gold is related to Oba Kosoko.

Tinubu Square is named after Madam Tinubu, a foremost slave trader.

Seriki Abass ruled Badagry as a slave merchant.

If your great-great-grandfather was a king, he most likely sold or owned slaves.

If you search Google for the settlement ‘Neft Daşları’, a municipality in Azerbaijan comes up.

So far, so unremarkable. A number of pictures appear showing industrial buildings and so on..

Search it on Google Maps, however, and something very odd happens.

At this point the most likely outcome appears to be that we live in a simulation.

The logic works like this:

1) each new model is exponentially advanced
2) we can simulate entire populations of agents and watch them interact [<—WE ARE HERE]
3) the models will become so advanced that simulations become indistinguishable from reality
4) agents in the simulations become conscious
5) simulations becomes cheaper and easier to run, so we run billions of them - each populated with billions of fully conscious agents.
6) it is now mathematically likely that you live in one of these simulations right now (rather than in the base reality you think you live in)

This is Bostrom’s simulation hypothesis playing out in realtime. Unbelievable to watch.

Can’t you see the beauty in it?

Things are made to be used, not preserved.

I’m not a slave to a device.

I treat it for what it is: a device.

在深圳出去玩，想体验下洋马，遂找鸡头，鸡头问我要俄罗斯还是乌克兰的，问我支持普京还是泽连斯基，我说这有什么讲究吗，他说，你的每一个选择都影响世界格局，你选择俄罗斯妹子，俄罗斯妹子会把资金寄回去，变成子弹打向乌克兰，选择乌克兰妹子，她也会寄回乌克兰，购买军火反抗，我犹豫了半天，这影响真的大，我的一次选择居然有可能是三战导火索，后来我觉得不能破坏世界格局，两个一起选了

Cats have antibacterial saliva, which breaks down odour-causing bacteria, and they typically make frequent use of it through their regular grooming habits.

This is GPT-6 Astra.

Anything you can do on a computer, Astra can do for you. Fast.
