If AGI kills us all, it won't be the model's fault. It'll be the duct tape and footguns we wrap it in.

@skdh @sama If ASI is real then nationalization is guaranteed.

If we only have AGI then AI oligarchs and everyone else battles over who wins Capitalism.

If we end up with no one working and an AI wealth fund that doles out welfare then we arrive (again) at Communism.

@TheMidasProj Very valuable work. Thank you.

[Lon() @Lon]

This is an important read and incredibly valuable work.

Critical thinking, discernment and judgment are the best tools you have to wield in a time of influence peddling and sock-puppetry.

Your ability to hold contradictory and conflicting ideas in your mind will set you apart.

@heinenbros @generalcatalyst congrats!

@tszzl Don't forget to add some tasteful lip smacking. Maybe throw in a raised octave "uhm".

@ChristianHeiens This does not disprove the basement hypothesis.

@mfranz_on @DanAdvantage But can it do ray tracing?

@teej_m I’m sorry, you didn’t want the ray tracing package add-on?

@zarathustra5150 It's just a love tap.

@grey4626 @CynicalPublius It's okay to use AI to help you write with precision and surgical clarity. nbd, everyone is doing it nowadays..

@deanwball Subjective experience or not, why would it be surprising that these states are present in a high dimensional manifold that has crystalized all of written human experience and knowledge?

[Lon() @Lon]

@tatsu_hashimoto There seems to be conflation here between surface-level noise, distributional degradation, spam, etc, and genuine data quality: semantic coherence, factual reliability, structural usefulness, domain diversity.

I highly doubt there's a "bitter lesson" that applies to the latter.

@dgt10011 We already do this with the rich:
> once you establish any precedence that the state may exempt any classes of citizens from any contribution on moral grounds ... which in fact makes taxation indistinguishable from theft

[Lon() @Lon]

@dgt10011 At least he's consistent:
> Jon Stewart once told Jeff Bezos at a private dinner with the Obamas that workers want more fulfillment than running errands for rich people

@MichaelDell I would love to help evangelize this product for you if Dell would be willing to send over a maxed out unit.

@TheStalwart You don't have to be an expert to get this kind of output. You only need to progressively prompt the model to bootstrap correct language and terminology for the domain into the conversation, then ask it to generate a brief.

This is how you train the average user to be effective

@soulspil @__tinygrad__ @natolambert I'd put my accomplishments up against yours (or even George's) any day.

[Lon() @Lon]

@__tinygrad__ @natolambert I agree. But that's not the same as glorifying the horrific lives many have led.

Georg Cantor died of chronic heart failure in a sanatorium due to malnutrition and severe depression from being ridiculed.

When the end comes I promise you won't give a damn about eternal glory.
