From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere

[Roman Helmet Guy @romanhelmetguy]

Very funny that xAI was created to stop Anthropic which was created to stop OpenAI which was created to stop Google which would've actually never developed ASI because it was afraid of cannibalizing its ads revenue from search.

“Daddy what were you doing during the singularity, what was it like?”

“Well son I was mostly reading about it on my phone and talking about it in group chats, and otherwise living my life as I ordinarily would have while my friends and family and coworkers completely ignored it”

don’t be afraid to get dressed:

in my early 20s, I dressed more in the Silicon Valley uniform (company t-shirt, hoodie, jeans) - because a friend told me not to “scare the engineers by reminding them you’re a woman” and because I looked even younger than I was, and felt nervous about being taken seriously

after meeting, working with, and befriending some very “serious people,” I dress how I want — and love to help friends and founders glow up their style game

own of my very favorite things about the tech ecosystem (and engineers in general) is its attitude of fundamental meritocracy. most people care about the quality and interestingness of your ideas and work rather than where you come from or what you look like. they have internet friends. they read your code and your writing

style is self-expression, an equalizer, a remark on the culture you know, an inside joke, and a weapon for self-esteem. I love to “dress for the future I want,” eg techno-utopia. I also dress for the places and moments and communities I love, or love the idea of: the rebellion of the American west, the preppiness of New England boarding school, the crafted lines of French workwear, the femininity of a Mad Men dress, the unabashed fun of Japanese street, the “move 37” t-shirt

you don’t need to be wealthy or conventionally attractive to have great style. you just need to have a point of view. great style gives the wearer confidence, the most attractive trait of all. be who you are!

Every single one of the 11 Meta superintelligence hires is an immigrant who did their undergrad abroad.

7 China, 1 India, 1 Australia, 1 UK, 1 South Africa.
8 are PhD or PhD dropouts in the US.

Immigration is key to US AI innovation.

Bloat@Brown is back with a full list of the DEI bureaucrats who lost @BrownUniversity $510 million in federal funds.

Two weeks ago, I emailed every administrator and asked what they did all day. After being hacked and investigated for "emotional harm", we’ve relaunched.

[CNN Opinion @CNNOpinion]

Annelle Sheline writes that she decided to resign from her position at the State Department given US policy toward Gaza. "Whatever credibility the United States had as an advocate for human rights has almost entirely vanished since the war began."

[Edward Snowden @Snowden]

Everyone in the world needs to see this.

Note that this footage permits no room for "it was a mistake," showing repeated, specifically-targeted strikes on the unarmed and even wounded. The sort of behavior the ICJ explicitly forbid in the genocide ruling against Israel.

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

An Iranian woman, lashed 74 times for defying the hijab law, is now a hero to millions.

#Roya_Heshmati, a Kurdish woman, was punished with 74 lashes for protesting the mandatory hijab. Defiantly, she refused to wear it even during her punishment. Her story is echoing across Iranian social media.

During her ordeal, she sang powerfully: "In the name of women, in the name of life, the chains of slavery have been torn apart."

Roya epitomizes the brave women of #WomanLifeFreedom, determined to dismantle the Islamic regime of Iran and establish a Democratic Iran.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Let me help them out here: “Calling for the genocide [death] of anyone obviously constitutes harassment.”

[Chris Bakke @ChrisJBakke]

Navigating "corporate speak" isn't easy.

Here's a helpful guide I put together:

"Let me check with my team" = No

"Possibly" = No

"On my roadmap" = Not happening

"This will be done in Q4" = This will be done in Q2 next year

"Disagree and commit" = I hate you

"Per my last email" = Try reading, for once in your life

"Challenging landscape" = We're going out of business, quickly

"Digital transformation" = We're going out of business, slowly

"Let's circle back" = We'll never speak of this again

"Take it offline" = We'll never speak of this again

"30,000 foot view" = I don't know what I'm saying

"Low hanging fruit" = Easy promotion

"Open up the kimono" = HR violation

"We use AI" = We don't use AI

"We use machine learning" = We don't use machine learning

"All hands on deck" = Let's actually try for once, please

[Yann LeCun @ylecun]

The year is 1440 and the Catholic Church has called for a 6 months moratorium on the use of the printing press and the movable type.
Imagine what could happen if commoners get access to books!
They could read the Bible for themselves and society would be destroyed.

[Bing Wen Brunton @bingbrunton]

The only thing I love more than neuroscience is... teaching neuroscience.

Here's a video series of my undergrad “Intro to Neuro” class. Adding new topics regularly. Check them out!
