Steve Jobs would’ve gotten either the most severe AI psychosis known to man and demanded every worker use LLMs for every decision, or become violently anti-LLM, not because of any worker stuff but because of the very concept of hallucinations, and ban them at Apple.

No babe, it's not that I'm not interested in what you're saying. It's that @sama and @elonmusk are fighting again.

Freaking out about a bot that summarizes already-existing content to already-highly-motivated amoral people helps so much!

You’re doing GREAT, sweetie!

[Tenobrus @tenobrus]

terrorist organizations are currently using ai in organized ways to dramatically improve their own efficiency and capabilities. simple refusals and occasional account bans aren't enough to stop them.

think about the global cost imposed by existing very small groups of motivated, intelligent, malicious actors. think about how much time and effort, how many resources, how many massive organizations full of many more similarly dedicated and intelligent and far better resourced people are necessary to defend against them.

increasing unrestricted widespread access to corrigible high-level artificial intelligence will be a bloodbath

When tokens go down 90% by the end of the year and then another 90% next year, everyone's opinions on artificial general intelligence and superintelligence are going to change radically

I'm currently on an unlimited GLM 5.2 bittensor subnet and I can tell you your behavior changes radically when token prices plummet

@xriskology I woke up this morning thinking “I should dig deep into that report, give it a fair shake, learn more about where those dudes are coming from” FORGETTING that I’d already seen “homes in spaaaace” and dismissed it.

@sudoingX 16GB is where the money is. Getting a model to run consistently with high performance in 16GB today means the same model in mobile devices next year.
BUT: handset makers might be okay with 32k context windows.

@thetreygoff Answer: when it makes something novel.
Claude tends to get really shaggy when you let it ramble. It layers these shaggy token-paths over one another to make intriguing designs, but they’re all very similar among users.
Claude did this to me in February, I snapped out of it.

@cturnbull1968 @DanPatrickTX @TexasGOP And “Dan Patrick” isn’t even his real name.

I wonder if Texas law requires that he be listed as “Dannie Goeb” on the ballot.

[Turnbull @cturnbull1968]

TX Lt Governor, Dan Patrick, claims that James Talarico doesn’t look manly enough to win in Texas.

My guy, if a dude that looks like Elizabeth Warren’s gay, older sister can become Lt. Governor then anyone can win in Texas with the right message.

The next time you’re feeling down, remember it's all about perspective. I got a friend who reads 2-3 books a week, works out twice a day, has no financial worries, & has people who want to have sex with him all the time & yet he constantly complains about how much he hates prison

[May Contain Nuts @mccannst]

@vasuman Yeah, but that’s what it’s worth, also.

He’s literally defining software solutions that should be wired into existing platforms and workflows; but instead he’s charging these companies for non-deterministic AI solutions.

Like painting over dirt instead of washing it.

I love when tankies think the Soviets were the driving force of unionization in the US, as if labor actually got a voice in the USSR.

Unions were flattened in the US by anticommunist fervor 15 years before the USSR’s collapse.

I love finding timelines describing socioeconomic statistics in the US and looking for what was happening between 1917 and 1991.

[Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) @adamscochran]

Once again, it is time for @GovAndyBeshear to call the special election.

McConnell’s team ignored the request for a health update.

It is not illegal to call a special an election on a presumed vacancy.

If Republicans have proof of life to halt it, then they can show the court.

[AJ @ItsmeAjayKV]

did not expect this, we have a new KV format: VBR (Variable Bit Rate) from buun-llama @spiritbuun

It starts KV cache in high precision and only applies heavier quantization layer-by-layer as context grows.

Results in getting the best quality possible for current VRAM budget instead of locking into one fixed quantization level.

Really smart approach, now i have to give this a try.

Trump Accounts are no longer going to be optional- so if you ever plan on having a child in the USA, you should read what I found:

According to the @SocialSecurity Administration's announcement last week, they are modifying the hospital birth registration form so that a Trump Account is AUTOMATICALLY created for your child through that same process.

It will be bundled into the Enumeration at Birth program (EAB), which is the already automated gov pipeline that gives your newborn a Social Security number. It’s one box that you check, you don’t have the option of unbundling it. So if you want your kid to have a Social Security number, they have to have a Trump account.

Which is strange, because according to the IRS and @USTreasury’s public announcements, these accounts only open when a parent actively elects to open one. So which is it? Why is nobody in the government interested in explaining this flagrant contradiction?

Who is going to answer the basic question of what a parent does if they don’t want a government-linked investment account (one that collects biometric data, by the way) created for their child at the exact moment their child’s Social Security number issued?

They can call it a savings account all they want, but a $1,000 deposit is a hell of a cheap price for building a lifelong financial file on every American child before they can consent to anything.

And once the government normalizes linking a person’s identity, financial activity, and predictive systems from birth, who gets to decide what that data will be used to predict later?

We deserve answers immediately. @ndstudio @WhiteHouse

[The Shallow State @OurShallowState]

I'm going to predict that when the damage assessment is complete, well into the future, Trump's greatest crime will prove to be espionage - AND - it will be the most catastrophic breach of national security in American history.
We will discover he passed secrets to Russia from day 1 because he was compromised; and did favors for the Saudis shortly after, purely for personal profit; and who knows what the hell else.
His many Useful Idiocies will boggle the mind. And his America First gaslight will be remembered as it should be remembered: "Trump Before America, facilitated by idiots who called themselves patriots."
His treachery - most done purely for power and profit, and some from pathology, revenge, and entitlement, will have massively impacted the globe, permanently shifted wealth, and cost many millions of lives.
I have to add that a good deal of it would not have happened but for our legacy media's consistent and widespread normalization of his disorders.
