A procrastinating doer of things. Love things that sometimes infuriate, like jr mining and West Ham. I love mountains more.

New Order’s “Blue Monday” reimagined with 1930s instruments by Orkestra Obsolete.

Theremin, musical saw, harmonium ... pure genius. This cover is absolute magic.

@Nick_Wellings @KarlBrophy Well said Nick.

I also use 'learnt', much to my wife's annoyance.

@Nick_Wellings Caught myself too many times on the seat going downhill. It hurts! Problem solved with one of these.

@Pete__Panda @GoogleAI Worst of them all in my opinion.

[Uncle Scam @markaprovost]

the big tell is how the AI companies with preexisting highly profitable business lines (Meta, MSFT, Google, Amazon) aren't joining Sam & Dario. This safety charade is about frontier LLMs scrambling b/c they don't have a viable business and can't continue burning cash on training.

@JamesHMackay It was superb towards the end. Even my wife got sucked in.

Highly recommend Guy Ritchie's 'The Gentlemen', Season 2, specifically for Episodes 6, 7, & 8.

I don't think I looked at my phone once over those 3 hours.

Imagine you’re a conman. You’ve said for years you have MAGIC BEANS. You’ve shown lots of REALLY BIG normal beans that you made in your lab.

“Almost there!” you say—over and over.

Now, you have *almost* convinced the villagers to give you TWO TRILLION DOLLARS.

But while the beans keep getting bigger. No magic yet…

What do you do? That money is SO CLOSE.

“I know!” you think, “instead of MAGIC beans, lets’s make them KILLER BEANS.”

So you pump up your beans up SUPER BIG and you say: “I’m sorry, but these BEANS ARE GETTING BIGGER ON THEIR OWN!” You threaten people that if they don’t give you the money, the beans may get into the WRONG HANDS. They might get BIGGER THAN THE EARTH!

The villagers, aghast, run to and fro arguing whether the beans are going to kill everyone or make them all rich.

“Well, either way,” the idiots in the village conclude, “We’d better give him the money.”

@RealCarlVernon Get in! No motorcycle helmets then... just like the good old days.

I like Tim’s ideas because he playfully pokes holes in BOTH backward-looking eastern and western traditions by asking obvious questions. AND he points towards a new evolutionary spirituality that is life affirming.

@ClimbingCoachX This brings back some similar memories - they rarely listen when you say that they might be better to head down.
