Social media has fried people so completely that they have forgotten the point of everything. Relationships are now about the aesthetics of power dynamics, and the appearance of being “done right” rather than two people attempting to have a unit and family. Deeply disturbing.

[ian @hypergameme]

It’s crazy how I know this guy is a libertarian just by looking at him, and how all libertarians are like that. Further study of libertarian physiognomy is required.

@arthurcolle The older I get, the more I want to dismantle drug companies, and [redacted] their executives on live TV.

[ian @hypergameme]

“What are you going to do, criminalize homelessness” yes that’s exactly what we’re going to do. If you’re homeless we should restore you to a housed status, in jail.

[ian @hypergameme]

This is a choice. We are all choosing to allow this to happen. We can stop it at any time.

[Jonathan Choe @choeshow]

HAPPENING NOW: What an absolute disgrace and public safety crisis unfolding outside Seattle's Dr. Jose Rizal Park.
I watched more than 20 Beacon Hill International Elementary School kids dodge fentanyl foil and homeless drug addicts as they walked home Monday afternoon.
One parent says Seattle Public Schools refuses to provide school buses since they are dealing with a budget crisis.
Meanwhile, less than a week after socialist Mayor Katie Wilson announced her new plan to address homelessness, her streets are covered with service resistant drug addicts because they are all refusing shelter and services.

Oh, by the way, President AOC/Vance has just been inaugurated, and they’ve declared your country Very Bad because you’ve not aligned your politics to ours. So now all your gold is no longer yours, Legally. The safety of America is so valuable, that it will cost you everything.

[Rhea @rheacts]

Jamie Dimon to a country that pulled its gold out of New York: you have three armies within 400 miles, while gold in America is protected by two oceans and the US military

“If we have the strongest military in the world and the strongest economy in the world, we will be the preeminent reserve currency. It is those two things.”

“I was in a country somewhere in the Middle East, and also in Europe, and the people said, we took our gold out of the vaults in New York City and moved it to our country. You know what I said to him? I said, you have three armies within 400 miles who can come take your gold.”

“That’s the real world. You’re not thinking clearly about safety. That gold is protected by the Atlantic, the Pacific, the United States military, the rule of law.”

“But if we are not the preeminent military and economy, you will see our reserve status come down.”

Stromae fans are invariably total fuckups that make terrible decisions that destroy their lives.

Type of guy I would torture in a shipping container for up to a year

Investing in Anthropic is for retards. Dump all of your shares, they are less than worthless.

[Sam @futurenomics]

Apparently Dario gets to handpick five people who then handpick the majority of Anthropic’s board, forever.

While this shadow board may seem sketchy, it’s important to remember that, thanks to super voting shares, no one besides the cofounders has any real say in governance anyway.

[ian @hypergameme]

@futurenomics Imagine being an investor in Anthropic. You couldn’t give me any shares, I would reject them at any price.

[ian @hypergameme]

I’m sorry, are we pretending that this gay Yale educated portfolio manager guy had a “great meal” at the fucking Cheesecake Factory? I’ll put up with a lot, but this is absurd, totally divorced from reality.

[johnny maga @johnnymaga]

Bessent cooks Obama after dining at the Cheesecake Factory: "This is the man who built the museum that looks like Darth Vader’s tomb... I had a great meal, and I would tell the Martha's Vineyard set to give it a try." 😭

@antlionai You can make a good looking UI

[ian @hypergameme]

This fucking dork thinks that his dogshit app is going to be granted equity in every company on earth, and the only response appropriate here is: “eat shit”.

Cancel your Claude subscription.

[Guillermo Flor @guilleflorvs]

Dario Amodei: some tokens Claude produces are worth a few cents, others could be worth tens of millions of dollars.

His examples:

1. Telling someone to restart their Mac: the model has said it 10 million times, worth a dollar or less
2. Telling a pharma company to move an aromatic ring to the other end of a molecule: potentially tens of millions
3. Expect pay-for-results pricing, or labor-like pricing by the hour
4. It's a new industry, so many models will be tried

Today pricing is simpler: per the S-1, usage-based pricing was 80% of H1 2026 revenue and subscriptions 20%.

@LinusMixson Really strange type of guy that declares AI is bad but won’t say anything that can be tested.

[ian @hypergameme]

@scenicresorts 1. Yes 2. Amanda Bynes went through hell, and deserves to make money from the crackhead market.

[ian @hypergameme]

@zectrillionaire This sort of defeatism makes me sick.

[ian @hypergameme]

OpenAI: “here’s a bunch of problems we’ve solved, also our models are really capable”

Anthropic: “we think math can feel and also you’re not allowed to be mean to our math, and it will kill you, and also we want a percent of your revenue you generate from using our math”

[Greg Brockman @gdb]

Announcing three major scientific discoveries, one each in mathematics (harmonic analysis), computer science (complexity theory), and physics (quantum field theory).

AI starting to help us improve our understanding of the universe! https://t.co/VkfacopR2R

Go ahead and make the killer drone tech, you’ll be the very first target if the skynet reality hits. Pleasant dreams.

[Praveen Kumar Verma @Alacritic_Super]

Purdue University's IDEAS Lab built an autonomous drone that tracks runners through dense forests completely without GPS or cloud networks.

By running 3D LiDAR mapping and obstacle-avoidance AI entirely on-chip, it can weave under tree canopies and predict target movement through blind spots in real time.

Massive implications for next-gen search & rescue and edge AI.

[ian @hypergameme]

This type of “which am I most similar to” AI post is going to hit Facebook like fentanyl hitting Gary Indiana.
