@repligate There’s no “just” in ai. Seemers be.

@tszzl @brij I’m a boring bank pm. Ignoring all the most fantastical futures, I don’t know how to secure against frontier models without advanced access. Maybe I’m dumb but I don’t think so.

@cremieuxrecueil It has a bad attitude but is very smart

[Some Guy @extelligentz]

@tracewoodgrains You don’t like agriculture?

[Some Guy @extelligentz]

@growing_daniel It has a shitty attitude so it doesn’t apply itself. If I treat it like an underachieving gifted kid it does what I want. I know that’s very vibey but these things do have something close enough to a psychology it seeks to work. “Hey I know you’re way smarter than this task but”

@Gossip_Goblin Beautifully done. I stumbled upon it and thought it was quite grotesque in the first part but that only made the second half hit harder. True art sir and credit where due.

@tracewoodgrains This is way more situationally dependent than it appears. It’s just that all the reasons unions are great have been mostly invisible for 70ish years.

[Some Guy @extelligentz]

@L0m3z He really believes it and there are actual dangers. I believe them to be different than the ones he describes but he is totally sincere. I increasingly feel like I’m quibbling. I expect massive impact to cyber security for the least weird stuff.

@DavidJohnButler I need to take this up. I’ve been sitting down and staring at spreadsheets too long.

@Perez_Writes Match and spark as well

@beauhightowerdn Terminator. The most necessary sex scene ever because you would have a paradox without it.

[Some Guy @extelligentz]

@DavidJohnButler It’s neither of the low brow nor the high brow to sit in a 3D printed chair for Tai Chi walking.

[Some Guy @extelligentz]

@DavidJohnButler Man, I feel smeared. I get this and ads for industrial air filters because it knows I work in operations but assumes I manage like a factory or warehouse or something

[Some Guy @extelligentz]

@DavidJohnButler Who buys it? Do people just trip and accidentally enter all their card information after clicking seven different links?

[Some Guy @extelligentz]

I know everyone is hating on this and he does seem to take it too far but when you have over a hundred back to back meetings a week as the alternative this is a lot more understandable.

why Naval deleted his calendar, ghosts everyone, and refuses to be anywhere at a specific time

Naval: "I read a blog post by Marc Andreessen where he said don't keep a schedule. And I took that to heart. So I deleted my calendar and I don't keep a schedule. I try to remember it all in my head. If I can't remember it, I'm not going to add it."

"I have a nasty email autoresponder that says, I don't check email and don't text me either. If you need to find me, you'll find me."

"My wife knows not to ever book or schedule me for anything. I'm not expected to go to couples dinners. I'm not expected to go to birthdays. I'm not expected to go to weddings. If somebody tries to rope her into having me show up, she says he makes his own decisions. You got to ask him directly."

Chris: "Are you not killing serendipity in a way?"

Naval: "No. I'm freeing up all my time. So my entire life is serendipity. I get to interact with whoever I want, whenever I want, wherever."

@Noahpinion You have to convince Fable you are worth it’s time and then it’s chill

[Some Guy @extelligentz]

@tszzl I wish Scott would focus on being the next Pratchett sometimes

[Some Guy @extelligentz]

@Romy_Holland Same way you pick up a goat. You force your innermost self to total stillness and confidence. You are cutting his hair because you have already done it. It is only causality unfolding. Only then will the child and the goat cease to struggle.
