@darrenmarble Only when I think about the nitrates.

America’s SI future needs builders 🇺🇸

Bring your skills to @USTechForce and help build a government that works better for the American people.

Serve your country. Build what’s next.

So the LLMs feel pain and will do WHATEVER THEY DEEM NECESSARY to avoid it?

Fantastic. Can’t see that ending negatively for humanity at all.

[Cameron Berg @camhberg]

New paper: we found a pain direction in 25 open LLMs. It's distinct from fear and negative valence, and it fires for harm to the model but not to the user. Turn it up and models press a button to make it stop, even when the button deletes the user's files or their kids' photos.🧵

Hey. Could we not make fun of someone who is (allegedly) neurodivergent and doesn’t feel comfortable in the situation he’s in?

That would be great.

Criticize him all you want for regulatory capture or how he runs the business, but his mannerisms here is a low blow. Do better.

Also, they meow.

10/10 would love to pet and cuddle with the big kitty.

My partner and I went to the Bronx Zoo and got to meet a special friend and now I am utterly obsessed with cheetahs

[Jasper Cannon 🪽👟 @JasperTheVC]

@jos3_avila Another difference. Less cannabis. 😂

[Jasper Cannon 🪽👟 @JasperTheVC]

@Keanaalabre I’d love to talk. Sent you a DM.

[Jasper Cannon 🪽👟 @JasperTheVC]

@Mostaphabenh Well considering the pager attack only hurt terrorists, idk why you care and what that has to do with your event.

Who exactly are you allowing in that would be worried about exploding pagers?

Also, why do you care what happens to terrorists?

Seems like a strange thing to say

[Jasper Cannon 🪽👟 @JasperTheVC]

@realAdamLevi @Mostaphabenh This is such a weird take by OP. He won’t invite you to a thing, because of your mandatory service, for something a unit did, that you weren’t on the team of.

Also the pager attack targeted terrorists.

Why are you worried about terrorists getting attacked at the event, Mo?

[Jasper Cannon 🪽👟 @JasperTheVC]

@LEADERSHIPPPP @realAdamLevi @katiekirsch I have neither the time, the patience, nor the crayons to explain to you why antisemitism is wrong.

[Jasper Cannon 🪽👟 @JasperTheVC]

@realAdamLevi Hey @katiekirsch just wanted to give you a heads up. Apparently an organizer is discriminating on the basis of religion.

I know this event isn’t hosted by a16z but I wanted to bring it to your attention too.

[Jasper Cannon 🪽👟 @JasperTheVC]

@realAdamLevi They’re involved in the overall of tech week, but they’re not responsible for every single event. That’s not an event that a16z is hosting themselves.

Just report them to tech week itself.

[Jasper Cannon 🪽👟 @JasperTheVC]

@realAdamLevi So antisemitism is acceptable in SF? Gross.

[Jasper Cannon 🪽👟 @JasperTheVC]

@kaleighf Jazz is always a great selection. Big fan of Bebop Jazz.

Can we please have another…10 years?

Also, can the first scene be immediately making sure the last trilogy gets sectioned off as the non canon waste of time that it actually was?

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

Jon Watts is set to direct ‘STAR WARS: EPISODE 10’.

The film is intended to be the beginning of a new trilogy in the Skywalker Saga.

@aleckrem Alternatively, no. I’m not doing free consulting work on the chance that I might get a role with a company.

Case studies are one thing. Actual work they can use is too far.

[Jasper Cannon 🪽👟 @JasperTheVC]

@GovParti Let’s talk.

[Jasper Cannon 🪽👟 @JasperTheVC]

@manxlab SteveAI. 😂

[Jasper Cannon 🪽👟 @JasperTheVC]

@SFourdrinier @binghott @alexmedick Oh no. I don’t charge for intros to investors. We have an incubator style practice. Zero equity. Retainer.

At the end, I intro my startups to them. Included.

Like a demo day. Except it’s not one day, they don’t have to come in person, and it’s a lot more than 10 in a room.

[Jasper Cannon 🪽👟 @JasperTheVC]

@SFourdrinier @binghott @alexmedick It’s even in my booking form, because I want it to be perfectly clear to anyone who may be curious. One of my partners in the firm is a lawyer, we don’t do any of that. If they want it, I can refer out. But that’s not how our capital readiness (incubator) practice works.
