Nadie ha entendido lo que acaba de pasar.

Un sistema de IA analiza las ventas inmobiliarias de toda una región y detecta los patios sin ninguna sombra, incluso a 38°C.

Después envía una postal al propietario con el render de una pérgola colocada directamente sobre la foto de su jardín.

Cada instalación vale entre 6.500 y 18.000 dólares y con cerrar una venta cubres varios meses de captación de clientes.

Este sistema no vende nada. Encuentra al cliente antes de que sepa que lo necesita.

If you were an ant with human-level intelligence and consciousness, how would you take over the ant world?

just this one:

This is a USB Stick of my MRI. Find all reports, find all images, use imagemagick to convert them into something useful, and get everything into a structured directory in the ./output folder that's worth retaining. Then, make an index.html that's a full exploration tool for the results. Use /frontend-skills and /generate-image skills if necessary.

/frontend-skills you can find in the plugin marketplace, generate-image is just a small skill that allows the model to use nanobanana-pro. It used it for some diagrams.

btw this is a good example of what i meant with "reflexively" reaching for AI. You tinker with AI for a while, and you just reach for this. This was an obvious thing to try when I saw I needed to use windows and was on my mac. You want to train your brain on this intuition.

[tobi lutke @tobi]

My annual MRI scan gives me a USB stick with the data, but you need this commercial windows software to open it.

Ran Claude on the stick and asked it to make me a html based viewer tool. This looks... way better.

です。ずっと(人間特有の?)直観なんて無い、理解なんてまやかしだと思っているので、機械が人間より知性の面で高性能になっても驚きませんが、理解とか直観というものがあると思う人には Fable は弦理論をちゃんと理解して直観もあるように思うだろうなあという感想です。

[Ian Wishart @investigatemag]

The Weekend Read: Three images from a Waikato University extreme rainfall study tell the real story of the extreme weather trend.

Every earnest climate activist clutching their well-thumbed instruction manual, Climate Change For Dummies, needs to study these images and let them sink in... climate change is not causing more extreme rainfall in NZ compared to our colder low carbon past...in fact it's the opposite.

A century ago we endured significantly more intense rain storms more frequently.

Don't believe me? Examine the images yourself. Every dot represents the elite - the most extreme of the extreme - rainstorms on record.

So far, the climate change era of the 21st century has been a walk in the park by comparison.

To those who keep commenting "yes there have always been past events but they are bigger and much more frequent today" - the answer is now obvious, no they're not!

And when the handwringing activists tell you NZ rain extremes are projected by computer models to increase between 6% to 28% in a warmer climate, remember that is based on the baseline of the 2023 map image.

You can add a quarter more dots to that map in your head and join the dots yourself.. but it won't get you anywhere close to the intensity of the 1921-1940 map.

Imagine what our resilient great grandparents must be thinking about the snowflakes we've become. We have not built to the conditions.

If by calling me a “climate denier” you mean that I don’t think the government of Canada can control the Earth’s climate, by taxing the shit out of us, then yes, I am a climate denier.

I co-founded Wikipedia, but an anonymous mob runs the show—and now I’m banned.

I told the story in the Washington Examiner, out this morning:

A privilege to join @joerogan and hopefully inform a global audience about what has been happening in Britain - mainly the rape, abuse and torture of countless young white working class girls.

I hope you all find our conversation as informative as I did.

We need a bit more shame.

People used to avoid certain self-interested behaviors to avoid shame, private and public. Law and customs assumed this.

Now, 38% of Stanford students claim to be disabled. 40% of young women (under 35) claim mental illness, and SSI disability payments have gone up 400% in a single generation.

It isn't good for anyone, least of all people who are actually disabled, when everyone looks the other way as friends and family and peers con the system with a level of shamelessness no architect of our safety net ever imagined could be possible in America. When everyone is disabled, nobody is.

[Milk Road @milkroaddaily]

Lyn Alden: Social security, pensions, Medicare... "it's basically a Ponzi scheme at the end of the day."

They were all built on the assumption that every generation would be bigger than the last.

Fertility rates collapsed. Now a shrinking group of young workers has to support a massive aging population.

The politicians who designed it are long gone. And now the bill falls on people who had no say in any of it.

[Milk Road @milkroaddaily]

Lyn Alden: The entire modern money system is only 55 years old (most people alive today were born before it existed).

"It's kind of like this been this grand experiment that the whole world has done."

Before the 1970s, money was backed by gold.

Now it's just a list of ones and zeros managed by people who can't balance a budget.

The question was always whether politicians could run a ledger responsibly.

"The answer so far is that in almost every country imbalances slowly grow."

Threatening to use the power of government to confiscate and redistribute the wealth of others is fundamentally unAmerican.

Pass it on if you agree.

Happy 250th Birthday America! 🎉 Tokyo is celebrating with you tonight with beautiful fireworks lighting up the bay and Rainbow Bridge plus Tokyo Tower glowing red white and blue!

It makes me so happy as a Japanese person to see this warm friendship. Real allies celebrate together like this.

God bless the USA and God bless Japan 🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵

[d @nsrd_ekospace]

Happy 250 America. We are in this together.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

We can learn a lot from the Americans.

Starting with some self-belief about what we can achieve as a nation.

A confidence that Britain can be restored.

It can be done. It will be done.

[Dustin Grage @GrageDustin]

We literally nuked Japan twice and they have more appreciation for America than the average Democrat in this county.

Incredible stuff.

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

Happy 4th of July to everyone, including the haters and losers!

[Laurence Fox @LozzaFox]

Happy 250th birthday America. 🙌

You took the best of Britain and improved it immeasurably.

You are now a lone beacon in gloam.

Stay strong for us.

We need you more than ever.

God bless 🇺🇸
